[confirmed] Panthers at Saints is being flexed

[Dex]

We've won 7 in a row. We COULD lose to the Saints, but I'm no longer afraid of any team anywhere. We can definitely beat them too.

Coming from you? HA.

[Pantherman]

Let people think what they want. A lot of people wasn't giving us a chance to win against the Pats on MNF. But we won. Yes this game will be very tough for us. But we have just as good of a chance of winning as the Saints do. Plain and simple.

Sounds like the same conjecture everyone else has, not really a source...

Should be a fun game. Can't wait. I will be at the one on the 22nd

He's a beat writer, it's not official until the league announces it. I know we're not used to this here in Charlotte, but occasionally, beat writers actually get these things called scoops!

Brees in the dome is tough, as everyone knows.

 

People seem to forget that we swept the Saints

 

People use the excuse of "we didn't have our head coach" when by the end of the year, the Saints had everything figured out for the most part.

Not really liking this to much but Cam has been money in primetime. I will roll with that.

Yeah, well we didn't have Riverboat Ron either

Only 3 things are guaranteed in life:

 

1. Death

2. Taxes

3. Saints Report going down that Sunday

Personally I think it's a bad thing because the home crowd will be more fired up for a night game. Still, it's a treat for us as fans.

Was really hoping Lions/Eagles but Detroit lost today. Doesn't look good.

No idea why Fox wouldn't want to keep what could be one of the biggest games of the year in the Panthers/Saints game.

 

It's too late to change which game they protect.  The decision was made a while ago.  Plus, I'm guessing they would still pick the 49ers/Seahawks even if they protected a game today.

Louisiana beat writer.

NFL schedule flex rules requires them to announce no later than 12 days prior to the game (Tuesday, November 26).

 

The NFL gets very upset if the Patriots or the Saints come close to losing at home, so I have no expectations.
