Saints at Panthers - What Saints Fans Are Saying

This week the Carolina Panthers host division rival New Orleans Saints in a matchup that is sure to frustrate both team. Division games are rarely one sided and can be some of the best action of the entire season. 

Let us now see what fans of the New Orleans Saints are saying. 

 

Quote

Our division rivals in Carolina and TB have more firepower than any team we’ll see all season which makes it problematic with all of our defensive injuries. It'll turn into a shootout if we can't contain CMac and not one that I think we'll come out on top of. Eliminate CMac and get pressure and we'll be fine.

Isn't it strange to see other fans talk about how much firepower the Carolina Panthers have? I think it is. In my opinion, teams need to be far more worried about the Panthers defense at this point. If the Panthers can pressure Jameis early, he will revert to Tampa Bay Jameis and the game will be won. 

 

 

Quote

Panthers OL is inconsistent at best… and a sieve at worst. The Saints have an advantage there. The Jets kept it close and they have ZERO pass rush. The Saints will stress that OL.

If Darnold gets even a little rattled, the Saints defense will have opportunities to take advantage. The Panthers have good WRs, but so did the Packers… and Darnold is no Rodgers.

The Panthers are going to run everything thru CMC… if he gets off, it could be a very close game. He’s always dangerous… they’ll give him a bunch of carries and receptions… then they’ll take shots downfield to Moore and Anderson.

On offense, the Saints will have to take what is given. The Panthers will focus on Kamara and force Winston to play mistake-free football again. With solid LBs and Chinn at Safety, they could contain AK41. Winston will have to get the WRs going, and Taysom Hill could play a bigger role as an offensive weapon (with AK on the field at the same time).

Some pretty decent points here. Yes, the Panthers offensive line is really bad. But the Jets strength is their defensive line so I don't agree with them having zero pass rush. 

The Panthers practice against CMC every day. The Saints practice against Kamara every day. Both defenses are well versed in stopping a multi use premier runningback. Will be interesting to watch. 

 

Quote

Saints have won 10 straight NFCS games in the regular season, until someone knocks them off, I have no reason to doubt them:

Saints 26
Car 11

Can't really argue with this. The Saints are an established team. The Panthers are up and coming (we hope). The Panthers won't be ready for prime time until they can at least split with New Orleans and Tampa Bay.

Panthers are a good young team that believes in its coaches. Dangerous combo. I’m worried about this game.

Carolina defense looks solid. I think Saints D can rattle Darnold, but the away Carolina game always worries me.

Quite a few Saints fans are paying attention to what is actually happening in Carolina. Solid coaching, solid defense, solid run game. That is never an easy combination to go up against.

I don't know what's more satisfying; that for the first time in I don't know how long, our rivals fear our offensive firepower, or the fact that they're totally overlooking our defense.

I'm impressed that they think our LB Corps looks solid, and am even more surprised that I agree. 

And I really hope after all this, it doesn't come down to the kicking game to decide it.

LOL at the Panthers only scoring 11 points. If we only score 11 points, something has gone terribly wrong. We should've hung 30+ on the Jets, but now that Darnold has shaken the cobwebs off, I'm thinking 17 is a floor.

Having Miller back and not Daley on the right side should help things a whole heck of a lot. Replacing your worst performer with an average performer is pretty significant.

I'd be super happy to see our defense continue their rise against the Saints.  I do think that if you pressure Jameis, he will make poor decisions.

Kinda like our guy actually, though I think Sam isn't quite the turnover machine Jameis can be.

Close game I think / hope, and I believe the game will be decided by whichever defense can get the most consistent pressure on their opponent.

Yeah especially with Lattimore and Davenport out. I'd be shocked if we don't put up 20+.

Is Lattimore not playing? I read he came back in with cast last week and played. I could see him playing right?

Correct.  He has not been ruled out.  That said, newly acquired Bradley Roby is active for the game.  The Saints just traded for him from the Texans as part of their fire sale.  He immediately becomes the #2 CB behind Lattimore on the roster.

      Kicker

      By TD alt · Posted

      Well, they're both in the same league (if you will). During preseason, Fitz went 3/3 & Sauls went 5/6, but of course Sauls was 4/4 last night (including one 50+). Both were Lou Groza Award finalists. I believe Fitz made two 55+ yarders last season, while Sauls led the nation with three. Fitz was 13/13 (💯) while Sauls was 21/24 (87.5). Fitz was a 3rd-Team AP All-American, while Sauls was a PFF All-American.  Career-wise, Fitz was 58/74 (78.4), while Sauls was 52/64 (81.3). I wish that I could see the attempts and knew the depth of yardage. I wish that we could compare practice kicks during their training camps, but we can't. Maybe someone with a PFF/CFF account can give that Basically it's just a matter of belief I guess. Seeing dude knock down four FGs and go perfect during a pressure-filled game for him is damned impressive if you ask me. I don't believe that Fitzgerald could do that.  That being said, I'd have to know more. I will say that it may be worth mentioning that we seem to like PFF this year and Sauls being a PFF All-American may be notable. Now that being said, the Panthers may not be even considering Sauls.

      By mrcompletely11 · Posted

      Ive said it 1000x times on here.  Our 2025 season will be dictated by the first 4 games.  poo the bed there and lose all confidence and momentum, we win 5 games maybe.  Go 2-2, 3-1 we got a look at 7/8 wins

      Preseason over..2025 predictions

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I basically made almost the exact predictions on a phone call with a buddy about 3 weeks ago. I really do expect Evero gone before the seasons end, Young to just not able to get over the hump enough and DC to head into next season on a VERY hot seat.
