Could our offense be competitive with the Saints and the Falcons O?

To answer the original question, I think that as far as the season goes, we can best the offensive output of the Falcons. BTW I am still not a true believer in Matt Ryan (not saying that I won't be). There is no way that we match the offensive output of the pass happy saints. Like it or not, Drew Brees is an efficient machine. Brees will get his.

As for our games against these guys, I think that defense will rule the day, and---tying to be objective as possible---I think that we will own these match-ups and win 3 out of 4. No way that their defenses are as good as ours, and our offense will benefit from the defensive disparities.

So I guess the Saints are lucky because no team has yet to "clamp down" on Brees' passing game, am I correct??

I didn't watch a whole lot of Saints games but I am guessing the Saints faced a lot of teams who used nickel or even dime on first and second based on the Saints' formations and tendencies not just going to it on third++ knowing that your pass O was your bread and butter. Pretty much daring them to run. If they had run on some of those downs (or maybe they did, you'll have to tell me) the Saints probably could have made the opposition pay. And even if they didn't get a bunch of yardage, if they did it enough they might back out of that and play them honest which would actually help the passing game. Perhaps they did all that though and that's a big source of the run yards they had.

Look at the playoff game against the Bears in 2006 for example. Sure the Saints passed for 350+ yds, but they ran for only 50ish and scored only 14 pts. That isn't efficient offense because they kept the Saints out of the endzone. It wasn't like the Saints were out of the game for a good bit of it and had to abandon the run.

      The Carolina Huddle

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.

      Favorite JAG 2020+

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      My top-5 JAGS: 1. Tommy Tremble: May not ever be top-tier, but has been solid and you never doubt the effort. 2. Cade Mays: Not bad for a 6th rounder. Hated to see him go. 3. Brady Christensen: One of the most versatile backup OLs in the NFL. Hopefully we re-sign him. 4. Trevis Gipson: Quietly was really solid depth last season. Glad we brought him back. 5. Brycen Tremayne: Has been solid depth at WR, flashing at times last year.

      He wasn't a JAG, he's been a starter every year of his career. Didn't turn into the superstar it seemed like he might his rookie year, but I think part of that has been being misused. Guy was/is a baller.
