Should we not play them then? Do we wait until all their players heal before we play them just to please the media? You play whoever shows up. Why should we be penalized if we kick their ass?

Hell no!  You play to win for each other!  Not to get accolades from the pompous ass media.

Could not give less of a fug. After all the years of our injuries and bullshit ref calls etc. I wouldn't care if the starters in all our games were out for the other team.

We had Dan Morgan who had HoF potential end his career early due to injury. We had great seasons taken away from Thomas Davis. Luke just retired based on head injuries or we have a 1st Ballot HoFer still at MLB for at least 4 more years. 

Cam got hurt on some bullshit so everyone misses me with all that. I say good. But honestly it ain't even that  chill I say you god damn right.

Exactly... we are going to have a 4-week gauntlet at the end of the year with the Bills in Buffalo, The Bucs in Charlotte, the Saints in New Orleans, and finishing with the Bucs in Tampa.

We will have a chance to show where we fit in the league hierarchy then... until then...

This is a young team that needs to continue to get better and more confident.  Being able to stack wins, regardless of the circumstances, is the best thing for now.

We're a year away from contention. 

We won't be able to scheme around this Online all year.

Media rankings can kiss my ass.

Get the "W" however you can get it, is what i say.

Oh I agree. I'm just saying, you can't expect them to rank us in the top 15 if we can't easily defeat a team who has lost their starting QB in exchange for a rookie in his first start, down two WR, and down arguably their best defender. If we can't put them away then I don't think we deserved to be ranked high.

Did you even read through the thread before you provided your inevitable shít take on things?

0% in this thread cheered this injury. Most said you play who you play. You are a complete dweeb and should prolly stick to the SaintsReport with Alice and the other swamp rats. 

To be fair, if anyone has cheered for an injury it has been for one of our own. lol!

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
