Official Panthers - Saints Gameday Thread

Recommended Posts

Fellow Huddlers,

 

The day has arrived. Tonight the Panthers have the chance to claim the lead in the race for the NFC South Title.

 

The vibe down here in New Orleans is very energetic. I talked more crap last night with the locals than any time in recent memory. Expect the home crowd to be rowdy and noisy from the first whistle.

 

When: 8:20pm

 

Where: Superdome

 

On TV: NBC

 

I will be on the field and tweeting from the sidelines. Follow @Carolinahuddle

 

Keys to a Panthers Victory:

 

- Score early. While the crowd will be noisy, they are easily deflated with an early lead.

- Hope for a Deangelo repeat performance. Deangelo usually does well in the Superdome.

- Get Physical with Jimmy Graham. His worst performances have been when physically harassed all game long. It is worth a penalty.

It has been a long week waiting for this game. Really, a long two weeks. This is the biggest game we've had in years and with 12.5 hours to go I'm bursting with excitement.

David Carr was the only "expert" to pick the Panthers on Gameday Morning unless you count Sterling Sharpe who picked the Saints as a reverse jinx for the Panthers.

Can't wait for the game cause I think we got this on lockdown.

I've been up since 5:30am and I tossed and turned all night.  Way too pumped up for today.  I've already had an "ice up son" cupcake for breakfast that my Saints fan wife bought yesterday.  Pretty big of her considering I told her I wouldn't share a bed with her this weekend (I'm in the basement).  

 

The Roaring Riot will be 70+ deep at Dilworth Neighborhood Grille tonight if you're looking for some good fans to watch it with.  

 

I'm going to pop four advil, blow the leaves off the yard, and then start drinking. 

 

Go Panthers!  

 

Panthers - 27

Saints - 24

    • Absolutely. He just turned 27 a few days ago, so quite young. He and Moehrig would be quite the pairing.  I know we say this every year, but this FA period has A LOT of talent that will be switching uniforms. We were aggressive last year and have no doubt this time next week will have some studs on defense.   
    • DJ Moore has always been a bit of an enigma. He came here young, flashed a ton of potential, but never truly grew into a real #1. He’s had a few good reasons, but yet to have a real monster season (outside of his first year with Chicago) We’re still waiting for him to blossom, but he will be 29 next season. I fear that it is too late for him at this point.
    • I have considered free agency.  LT?  Either not good enough or too expensive.  Besides, this is a good OT draft.  (I would rather have a free agent, mind you, but the Panthers' reality suggests we can't do it without neglecting other positions).  What LTs are available in free agency, and what do you expect to pay?  Any Ickey-level OT is going to cost over $20m.   How much do we already have invested in our OL?  I get your point, but I do not think you can spend over $100m per on your OL. We have 2 guards and a right T who pull in about $75m per season.  We don't have a center yet.  Teams just don't let good LTs hit free agency, and when one does on rare occasion, he is expensive.  If you want a third of the Panther cap going to 5 Offensive Linemen, free agency is the way to go.  We still need S, ILB, Edge, WR, etc. I think we'd need more than Nijman--and I would understand if we went free agent for a T--but that is putting a TON of your cap at OL--so considering our situation, I do not see that option as preferable.  You may disagree. If I was not talking LT on our line and thinking about the cap, I would agree 100%.
