Panthers have a chance to make some history against New Orleans

A year after Brees and the Aints rubbed it in on us while making history in week 17 last year, we have the opportunity this year to, in some capacity at least, return the favor.

If the Panthers can muster 282 yards of offense, the Saints will break the record for most yards given up in a season, previously set by the 1981 Colts with 6,793 yards. That means the Saints would have the worst defense in the history of the league.

Might not mean much, but any time ol' uncle Montsta can add anything to your sh!t-talking repertoire, I feel obligated to do so.

I don't think you can actually say that would make them the worst defense in the history of the league. Rule changes mean yards are much easier to get now than they were 30 years ago.

By that token, the records they set on us last year hold no weight.

Fug the saints* I hope we demoralize them in the dome.

The record would at least be a "moral victory" of sorts (geez, I hate that term).

But the Saints getting their measure of vindication in the Bountygate thing and signing Payton to a new deal while playing in the Toilet Dome make this game nothing short of a monstrous upset should the Panthers pull it out. But I'm sorry guys, if I'm a betting man, there's no way I can believe the Panthers put up about 40 to win this game and I won't be surprised to see the Saints win by 17 or so.

Remember, they have a pretty good tight end in Jimmy Graham and the Panthers haven't been able to cover a TE since 2002...

      "Floor, not Ceiling" - between the hashmarks

      I don’t know about floor in a team defense sense but we needed more.  The floor that I am familiar with is our QBs floor and it is so low that every other part of the team needs to be beefed up.     We tried our best to improve these things and I think we did improve the defense and we at least kept the offense  from sinking from no LT.  And ostensibly helped the receivers too.   So we kept a window open that we at least have a chance to improve our record by a game of two.  Which would probably give us the division.

      Yeah. I am one of. those who think a JAG RB can eat with really good blocking. (Brooks is most important in my mind, in tbe passing game and that is what we’ll lose without him)  There are a lot of aspects to this. The big one that caused us to struggle is Young and his arm scared no one.  Best back, best blocking still cannot defeat a really good defense if they are not forced to respect the pass.  And teams did not.    But, a strong OL and running game Can get us over against weaker defenses.  And if Bryce still doesn’t scare anyone we can still win some games. Like last year  So it is really important to tend to that OL.   Get that straight and see if in his fourth year he can finally back defenses off. That is what if is all about this year to me, on the Bryce front.
