Will The NFC South Curse Keep Us Alive This Season?

Our talented young team combined with the Failcants and the Fuccenqueers is what will keep us in it. And we proved last year we can beat the Saints, so if we go 2-0 agains them, that could very well decide the division winner.

You mean we proved we can beat Mark Brunell's Saints.

Little different outcome for Drew Brees's Saints.

yup. putting my hate for the Saints and Falcons aside, and being real for a second, this division is not going to be easy. even if Moore is awesome and our defense steps up, that doesn't change that Falcons have done a lot to improve their defense, and their offense with a healthy Ryan/Turner is still among the best in the league. Saints offense is still in tact, and their defense might struggle but you can never count a Drew Brees lead team out.

I can see NFC South holding at least 1 wild card.

No, sir, we had Brees' saints whooped in the first meeting....then sat on a nice lead, and choked.

we had those mofos beat.....some people forget there is 60 minutes in a football game, not 30.

Granted... we looked like we might win...

But we have the same coach who sat down, and they have the same QB who rallied the team and came back to win...

So... yeah, we didn't beat Drew Brees's Saints.

No, we can beat Drew Brees' Saints too. Yes, the outcome may have been different slightly, but if you are in position to go down and score on your final possession, that means you can beat them. If not for untimely Williams fumble, who knows what wouldve happened. I'm fully confident that we can beat the Saints twice next year if we just get a couple standouts on either Offense or ST in this year's draft.

There is no curse. We ended the last to first streak in 08, and if you believe in the curse, you must think the Buccaneers are going to the playoffs this season (the only curse left is the last always goes to the postseason the next season).

We can beat the Saints. We did it for years and it isn't like they destroyed us when Drew Brees was playing. We can also beat Atlanta which we did in 09.

    • To kick this up, The Athletic has a really comprehensive piece out where pretty much all QB questions are addressed. It is worth seeing.  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7083539/2026/03/04/starting-quarterback-projections-free-agency-draft/?source=user_shared_article I’m putting something specific here but it should have a thread or something. It is an extensive exercise.  This is a dense write up with a lot of column inches used, about the Jets and Murray and Reich, all this stuff.. then it goes to backup QB and there is Dalton.  I am pasting that part: As for Dalton, Reich is installing the offense he was trying to run in Carolina in 2023 before he got fired, and Dalton was with the Panthers then; he’s an ideal option as a veteran backup to replace Taylor. Reich said this about Dalton in 2023: “The way he's throwing the football, the way he works through progressions, the way he handles the operation. … Since day one (when) he walked in the door, I'm like, 'This guy is starter-worthy.' You guys know I've said that all along. He's, in my opinion, one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the world.” ——— That’s true love lol. I never heard any of this. Pretty crazy I think, considering how the year went.   Anyway the dream is not dead. . 
    • The Seahawks traded for wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. He proved to be a key acquisition. Shaheed returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the regular season and had a 95-yard kickoff return in the postseason. Shaheed, though, is scheduled for free agency. So, the 12 games he played, including the postseason, might be the extent of his time in Seattle. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Shaheed and the Seahawks are not close to an extension, and the expectation is that the two-time Pro Bowler will hit free agency. Shaheed has 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns in his four-year career to go along with three punt return touchdowns and a kickoff return touchdown. He ranks 13th on PFT’s top-100 free agents. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-rashid-shaheed-appears-headed-to-free-agency
