I don't think it has much to do with the surface they are playing on, Hell they just got manhandled in a dome by the Rams and barely beat the Falcons in their dome. They only scored 16 and 17 pts. in those dome games this year. I think it has more to do with a certain comfort level and crowd noise when you play in such a rythm based offense that relies on timing for most of they plays they run.

BOA needs to be loud this Sunday...take Brees out of his comfort zone and the game will go to the Panthers.

Surface has a lot to do with the timing of their pass game. Speed/timing is totally altered outside.

Throw the Ram game out.....outdoors the Saints offense is greatly different

Keep in mind that this is the same team we pounded at the bank last year.

Sure they've got Payton back, but how much difference can a Vi(odin popping douche that wears a visor indoors make?

And so they've got Lebowski that ate Dat Alice as their DC...big deal.

The last time we played them was an aberration. We're gonna pound dat ass.

Panthers 42

Saints 10

I'm still nervous about how this game will go. It's hard to say which team (for both) will show up this Sunday. 

 

If our corners do not press differently this week then it'll be another poor showing. 

 

I'm not so much worried about our offense. I think we will perform much better than the last game. Hell, we should have been up 14-0  at the end of the first quarter last game.

IMO: the one factor that is going to matter most Sunday is our pass rush. If we get to Brees getting sacks and causing bad throws (hopefully INTs). we can win. If we sit back and let our secondary try to do the hard work, it won't matter where we are playing.

I don't actually believe this but, do you ever wonder if the other teams locker room is bugged? Season after season the Saints look like a 4-12 team outside the dome but they look like the 1972 Miami Dolphins inside the dome..

 

Like I said I don't actually believe this but... Sean Payton has cheated before..

 

 

You need to do a little research. The Saints have the best road winning percentage in the league since 2009 and the second best since 2006. So, if they're bugging locker rooms they must be doing it for away games, too.

We absolutely have to get pressure on Brees this time around. That was our issue on defense last game. I am sure our guys are pissed so they will be fired up. Offense. It is plain and simple. Score Tds and not Fgs. I am ready for this game. I probably wont be at the game sunday but I hope our home crowd is ready to scream their lungs out. Go panthers

Like I said I don't actually believe this but... Sean Payton has cheated before..

In the past 5 years, even including this years subpar 3-4 road record, Saints have best road win record since 09. Also Payton has never cheated, the punishment was for not doing enough to find put and stop Williams from rewarding players for big plays. GW and defense were a separate entity and had separate meetings rooms. Saints was one of many teams rewarding for big plays, the issue was they were told to stop and didn't while teams like Packers did stop.

Actually the smash for cash programs has been part of NFL for the longest time and was openly deemed ok and within rules by Taligbue, them with no changes to rules, Goodell called the same thing against rules.

Packers defensive end Reggie White acknowledged yesterday that he doled out his entire paycheck to his teammates following last week's playoff victory over the San Francisco 49ers.

``I gave them money for big hits,'' White said.

The smash-for-cash program depleted White's $13,000 game check in $500 increments, according to a report in Friday's Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

White, the 34-year-old all-pro and former Eagle, said his incentive program would continue for tomorrow's NFC championship game against the Dallas Cowboys.

More than 10 players received $500, including linebacker Wayne Simmons, who was rewarded for the fumble he forced that was returned for the game's first touchdown by teammate Craig Newsome, White said.

White awarded himself $500 for a hard hit on 49ers quarterback Steve Young.

``I don't know if the money is any more motivation, but I know I paid out a lot,'' White said.

Giving cash bonuses for big plays and hits has been going on in Green Bay since the 1994 season, the Journal Sentinel's story said.

About 75 percent of the players contributed money this year to a fund for that purpose, but the pot had run dry by the final weeks of the regular season. White and defensive end Sean Jones then kicked in money to keep it operating.

Greg Aiello, an NFL spokesman, said there was nothing wrong with what White did, likening it to a quarterback buying gifts for his offensive linemen.
