I will say this...

Seattle is a different type of defense than ours. We both are strong but really in different places. They played and matched up perfectly with the Saints. They have big strong DB's that cover like your grandmas neck.

I think the offense will be fine but we need to get away from dwill/stewart and our 2nd and 9's.

I think we will beat them but it's going to be close....real close.

Our CBs are not great but they are physical and as a whole our defense is better than the Seahawks. If we can stop the Pats we can stop the Saints.

I read a couple of the topics over there and most of them sounded pretty realistic about the possibilities of Carolina coming in and mopping up. The realists far outnumber the blind homers.

 

Saw the same thing.  Many posters are saying that we are and should be licking our chops to get a hold of the Saints this week.  And that nothing they saw on Monday night should make anyone worried about playing the Saints.

The Saints are weak mentality and are going to have a short week. Not only that but we are actually as healthy as we are going to get on for this game. We have played harder games this season and faced better teams. If we ever expect to win in Seattle we need to win this game.

I think @ NO is the toughest game on our schedule. Not by a large margin but I put that slightly ahead of SF.

Saints are two different teams. The tough one plays at the dome

I agree with you.

 

I would feel great about this game if it were here....and I wish we had the first matchup here.

 

Saints in the dome are one of the toughest teams to play....we will need our A game.

So is SF and you have to deal with the wind. I don't think it will be a cake walk but your talking about intangibles and right now in the minds of our players its the biggest game all year, a playoff game.

Three ways to handle Brees,  jam receivers at the line, put him on his back and ball control.

 

Do those things and Saints are beatable.

 

The Dome thing is psychological, just like playing outside is psychological.

 

Their defense is not concerning; but, Cam can't have any lazy throws, he will need to be perfect, and that is the one big difference between him and Russell Wilson.  Sometimes Cam's athleticism is the windshield and sometimes its the bug. It needs to be more windshield come Sunday night.

 

Tell you the truth, of all the over hyped teams, the Saints are one of them.  Every time I've watched them on Sunday ticket, just was not impressed.

 

Really a shame Panthers screwed up in Arizona.

The Saints are a carbon copy of the Seahawks ......lol get the fug outta here

Russell Wilson is really really good but he isn't as good as Drew Bree's just yet. In every other position outside of tight end Seattle is better. Brees missed several open receivers because of the pressure that Seattle had on the Saints.

Our front 7 is better than Seattle. Most Seattle fans will tell you that. I do have concerns with our secondary but I am confident we will put the best players out there so we can compete. I think we will need mobile Cam to be effective in The dome but I like our chances.

Dayton Florence should start, and so should Captain, but Captain should be lined up inside.

Man I can't wait for the next 4 weeks.

Exactly!!! Your post hit it on the head. New Orleans defense runs to the ball and they play aggressive but they aren't that talented. They miss tackles and over run plays.

I worry about pressing Brees' WRs.....bad QBs have taken advantage of us doing that on the outside

at least after the humbling loss last night some of those knuckleheads are at least acknowledging we are built to beat them and are capable of doing what seattle did last night.  before the smashing by the Seahawks, they didnt give us a chance.

 

Cam can't pass, he chews gum, he is immature, he can't lead, he is a me first guy, they havent played an offense like the saints yet(lol) etc...

      something to feel good about in the offseason..."could be something special brewing in Carolina"

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Then don't tune in. It's really not a hard concept to understand, if your making your decision based on your own personal needs/feelings as opposed to what is best for the future of the franchise, then it's a you problem, not a Panthers problem. When the season is already lost, every fan should be rooting for the same thing.  The team plays hard until the final whistle of the season and keeps improving as a team and individually, but in the end, we still come up short and lose games, and preferably because the other team beat us, not because we screwed up and found a way to lose due to our own fault. Look at it this way... If we are up 1 or 2 points with 3 seconds left in the game and the other team is lining up for a FG.  Beyond the joy of victory or the disappointment of defeat, what impact does the other team making or missing the FG have on our team the following season? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING Except where we draft and what teams we play due to our finish in the division. The players and coaches on the team would have the exact same level of improvement and learnings about themselves individually and as a team whether the FG is made or missed.  The ONLY difference in the end is the record in the standings and if the win or loss number changes. If you want to argue if making the playoffs to lose in the first round or just missing them is better or worse, that's totally fair and I can at least understand the other side of it.  But in what is already a lost season, if you're not hoping your team plays well but ends up losing, then you're cutting off your nose to spite your face.  You're hoping for a moment of happiness at the detriment of the franchise's future, and in turn, you're basically then happy for a moment to only set yourself up for future further disappointment.

      If we’re eliminated I want the wins more.   The season is already a disappointment and if I’m not pulling for wins why bother to tune in?

      Two things terribly wrong with this post. First is that not one time has myself or anyone else agreeing with me said that the team themselves should think that way or try and lose for positioning.  Never once have I suggested the team should purposefully lose games, ever.  I honestly can't understand why people keep saying this in posts, not one fan has ever said the players should or would purposefully try to lose. And second, is yes, that has happened and it's happened very recently.  The 2020 Bengals were 4-11-1 and then were playing in the SB the very next season.   And while it might have been 2 years later and they didn't quite get to the SB, the 2021 Lions were 3-13-1 and then the 2023 Lions were up 24-7 at halftime of the NFC Championship game. The season between those two? They finished 9-8 and only just missed the playoffs. Which is why I keep trying to compare us to the Lions in where we are at in our re-build.  Throw out Bryce's rookie year with the Reich staff who just didn't work out and he looked god awful.   This past season when we were 5-12 in Canales' 1st season is that 2021 season for the Lions and their 1st season under Campbell.  This year is their 2022 where they grew a ton and Campbell's culture building was clear, where I'm saying we'd likely be better off in the long run if we go 8-9 or 9-8 and just miss out on the playoffs (which is still a significant improvement from last year).  Then our 2026 is their 2024 when we have a chance to be a real contender after adding a few more pieces and our key players having another year of experience under their belts.
