Official Panthers - Saints Gameday Thread


Zod

Recommended Posts

Today the Panthers have a chance to take control of the NFC South and clinch their first playoff birth since 2008.

 

After their shellacking 2 weeks ago in New Orleans, the Panthers are primed for revenge. The Saints are 3-4 on the road this season and very beatable.

 

When: 1:00

 

Where: Bank of America Stadium

 

TV: FOX

 

Radio: 1110 WBT

 

Twitter: Follow @CarolinaHuddle for tweets from the sidelines.

 

 

Keys to a Panthers victory:

 

- Long sustained rushing drives featuring Mike Tolbert.

- Win the turnover battle. The field and ball will be wet, a good opportunity for a hungry defense.

- Get physical. The Saints lose their luster in matches that take a more physical tone. Speed is their game, not toughness.

 

Prediction:

 

Panthers 24

Saints 13

    • A team should always be putting at least one or two draft picks in at tackle and guard each season. Those guys just don't last nearly long enough and those that do get very, very expensive. In our situation, we need a little more time to see what the Icky injury works itself out to. Njiman performed really well out there and if this injury lingers into the next season, then he might do well enough there to hold the line for the team. Or we could draft early if there is a stud LOT in the draft when our spot comes along.  Honestly, we may be looking at replacing both LT and RT this season at this point. Moton is getting long in the tooth and while he deserves a shot to go for a playoff run with this team, I don't know whether we will really see him come back next season yet. It's still so darned early in all of this to say.
    • Because we had a ton of things go our way this year and made the playoffs with a -70 point differential.  This year was the outlier.  Regression to the mean is unavoidable.  So the team will have to significantly improve to beat 8 wins next year.
    • One thing I noticed in this game (and I say this as the biggest of Bryce Young haters) is that Bryce did do a solid job of throwing into voids in this game, and leading receivers on crossers.  There were a few times where I was thinking "where the hell is he throwing it" only for a receiver to appear out of nowhere and catch it in stride.  Mike McDaniel might be a guy that can squeeze a little bit of production out of the otherwise ghastly Bryce Young. His offenses heavily feature that style of passing game.  I've heard Idzik is drawing interest from other teams.  If so, bringing McDaniel in at OC would be a stellar move.  I know it'll never happen, but fun to think about.
