Saints should rest their starters...

Had a friend from Tampa call yesterday. He said Josh Freeman was wandering the streets of downtown Tampa in warm up pants and a hoody mumbling something about inadequacy and the size of Cam's ball bag.

Clearly, he will not recover in time for their game against the Falcons.

If the Saints were smart, they would not allow any of their starters anywhere near the dome. Unless they want to be one and done in the playoffs (hell, they probably will be anyways), they should not let any of their starters witness the exclamation point Cam will be putting on his record breaking rookie season. I believe once Cam throws his 4th touchdown of the game after rushing for 3, he will then gently place his balls on top of the dome, thus setting the record for the world's largest tea bag.

Thoughts?

This game is the biggest game for the Panther organization since the last playoff game. I honestly believe that the final score in our game with the Saints will have huge implications for us next season. Win a shootout against Brees on his home turf and next year's Super Bowl talks will be realistic! This young team will finally fully adopt a winners mentality and believe in their swagger every game that they take the field in next year! This game is so important for next year's success.

Win Sunday-we come out of the gate winning in 2012

Lose Sunday-we spend the first five games next year still learning how to win

If they bench their starters, it means little--unless we lose. Frankly, I think we have already turned the corner. I hope they play their starters and we play well. Who is New Orleans backup QB?

Besides, Brees has this record they are all proud of in N.0.--And Brady is only about 150 yards behind. He will throw for 300+ vs. the Bills.

Correct me if I am wrong, but the Saints would lose home field to SF if they lose. I think SF would lose home field vs. NO if they lose to the Rams. So, NO takes all the pressure of SF if they lose.

We might win, we will most likley lose.

But that's okay, it will be the last win over us the saints will ever get to enjoy for the next decade. Enjoy it while it lasts Saints fans.

If we play their bench, the win means as much to us as the loss does to them.

If the 49ers had anyone this weekend but the Rams, I would say the Saints need to try hard to win Sunday, but they can't really lose anything by losing.

I suspect they'll play Brees for a couple of drives, maybe the first quarter, and then pull him... I wouldn't hold him out of the whole game if I was them.

Our opponents' win percentage is .482 right now. At the beginning of the year, we had the toughest schedule in the league, supposedly, because our opponents' win percentage from 2010 was .555. Is there carryover from one year to the next? Maybe. Ask the Bucs. Ask the Chiefs. Ask the Lions and the 49ers.

I want to win too, but if NO puts in their bench, I hope we do too.

Didn't the Rams drub the Saints earlier in the season? Ironic if I am correct.

      Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.
