Hope springs eternal - MNF

[NAS]

Call me crazy, but I have a good feeling about the MNF game with Saints.  I know Saints  should be the favorite, but I think this will be a close game that we can win. After digesting all the analysis afrom the Falcons performance, I am confident this offense will be improved, particularly Bryce Young who will avoid turnovers, but will be aggressive down the field.   He shines under bright lights and the moment won't be too big for him.  Saints defense is good, but I trust that Brown and Reich will have a formidable gameplan to take advantage of their tendencies.

On the defensive side of the ball, our D always plays well against the Saints, I think we have held the Saints  to 11 ppg since 2018.   Carr also does not perform well when under pressure.  He's going to give us some turnover opportunities.

Fire at me all you want, I'll come back here to collect receipts on Monday night or to lament.

I’ll give you a dose of reality

 

we don’t have difference making WRs, the Saints will load the box and go man.

 

This won’t be a pretty game, we’re missing two starting O-line and our #1 CB. 
 

keep the receipt, I’ll collect Tuesday morning

Yeah we basically did everything better than the Falcons last Sunday, with the difference being takeaways. The Falcons were careless too, but their fumbles bounced back to them. 
 

We are better than last game showed in my opinion. Still a ways to go, but the score was misleading.

I'm not worried about Bryce, the defense needs to step up.  Carr could pick them apart for 350 yards and 3 TD's

[Martin]

I think we could cause some issues for Carr with our pressure, so that will be interesting to see. All I’m asking for is some good progress for the offense, anything else is a bonus. 

[CamWhoaaCam]

I had this mindset a few months ago. Then reality hits on Sunday that this team just isn't very good. Coaching staff was overhyped. 

 

All I ask is for them to be competitive. At this point that's all we can hope from this team.

[Move the Panthers to Raleigh]

I don’t expect much from this team. Especially during prime time games where we poo the bed even when we have a good team

Not going to fire at you. Football is far more fun when we think we can win every week.

No clue what to expect. It's not like the Saints looked particularly good in week one either. They got the W, but they only scored 16 points despite being +2 in the turnover column.

[ForJimmy]

Being a home game should help.  If it was at NO it could be ugly.  

[GOAT]

I'm feeling a classic Panthers primetime let down blowout, or a classic Panthers primetime heartbreaking loss where we mostly beat ourselves.

long story short, put your lifesavings, house, anything you can on Saints ML.

[ClawOn]

If there's a team we randomly beat the dog poo out of, it's the Saints.  I'm with ya @NAS

I'm not always like that though, I just have that 6th sense sometimes

Seems kinda odd since the D only gave up 221 total yards last week and held the Falcons to 2-10 on 3rd down while Bryce only threw for 148 yards on 30 attempts and threw 2 INTs to account for both of our turnovers and fumbled once on top of that, albeit it was recovered.
