Brees may have had to hold the ball longer than normal against Seattle, but he held the ball as long as he wanted to in the second quarter against us.

They still got pressure, we did not. It was also cold, rainy, windy, and loud in Seattle. It was nice and comfy in the dome.

They have Earl Thomas and Richard Shurman. We have Mike Mitchell and Melvin White.

Anything you say past that is irrelevant.

 

Its the blitz packages they sent not so much what the CBs did. Needless to say we came in thinking we could beat Brees in the dome with a 4 rush and not even Thomas nor Shurman could cover as long as we let Brees have.

From the article, Seattle was getting pressure with 3 or 4...and dropping dline into coverage. Brees was not comfortable.

 

I'm trying to watch the Panthers All-22 now...and I'm taking a break now after seeing LaFells horrible blocking. Schula playcall had the numbers to pickup decent yardage but LaFell's blocking killed it twice.

Seattle's secondary is way better than ours, however you have to attribute some of their success against Brees to them playing in their building.  The fact that that place is so loud, it prevented an offense that is predicated on timing from executing.

 

This is the sole reason why Brees and company are not as good out of their building.  It is the fact that their offense and Brees rely so heavily on their timing.  Brees has put together a hall of fame resume, however he hasn't figured out a way to translate that on the road.

 

New Orleans would beat Seattle in the Dome.  It would be a close game, but I think they would come out on top.

Let me put it this way. As good as Seattle's DBs are, you put them in the dome and take away their pass rush and Brees would have 4 TDs against their DBs too.

 

We could have used better performances from our DE's for sure, but I doubt that Thomas would be hanging around the back line of endzone for every TD like our FS was.

      Gronk is the best TE of all time, but he also played with Brady. Clarke was great, but had Peyton and in an era TE's didn't make crazy money. Kittle is great, but the two times he's made the SB, he was still on his rookie contract for one, and the other the 49ers had Purdy on a cheap rookie deal which help them build the rest of the roster. So again, it's not about not wanting an elite TE, of course it would be nice.  But realistically, in today's NFL, unless that elite TE with a top end TE salary is on a team with a GOAT level QB and/or other serious cap savings (i.e. key players on rookie deals), then I think it's not a good use of cap space.

      This place was the poo pre tepper with tons of hilarious posters like phillyB. Joined in the 2000s during the 07 season and have been here bitching about this team since. but yeah its sadly been dying a slow death, every time I come to this site I am surprised its still up. I think the 2015 season was the absolute peak, the Panthers and this board especially just haven't "felt" the same since then. Igo should really sell the board since he clearly doesn't care anymore. Also, Reddit blows and the Bryce defenders on there need Jesus.

      Guessing the price is too rich here given the injury history.  2024 was brutal and production dropped off in 2025 with a few more injuries (albeit rough qb play).    Don’t really understand the narrative that Young can’t benefit from talented upgrades on offense. Especially here with respect to a tight end. Any QB will benefit from talented receivers that threaten the top of coverage and tight ends with skills to stress zone.    The age and injury history, coupled with what he’s likely asking, just probably means we can better spend that money elsewhere.
