Saints @ Panthers Game Day Thread
 

The New Orleans Saints (1-1) will take on the Carolina Panthers (0-2) at noon in Charlotte. You can watch the game on Fox-8, listen on WWL-870.

It’s the third straight division game to start the season for the New Orleans Saints, and one could argue with the loss last week this is the most important one of the season if they are to have a good chance at hitting the over 8.5 wins and possibly making the playoffs. (Yes, we think about those sorts of things in Week 3.)

It is the first time since 1995 the Saints open the season with three straight division games and first time ever since they became part of the NFC South, which was formed in 2002.

TEAM TRENDS

SAINTS (1-1, 1-0 on the road)

The Saints are ranked 17th in the NFL in overall offense (yards gained per game) and 19th in points scored. They are 10th in rushing offense and 18th in passing. … The team is 17th in overall defense and 21st in points allowed. They are 22nd against the run and 11th against the pass.
As we said earlier, this is the first time since 1995 the Saints opened the season with three consecutive division games. Then, they were in the NFC West, and lost to San Francisco, the St. Louis Rams and Atlanta to open 0-3 – on the way to an 0-5 start and a 7-9 season – all by four points or fewer.
It also is the first time since 2015 their first three opponents have come against those from the NFC. Seven seasons ago, the Saints didn’t play an AFC opponent until Week 7. (They won’t play a team from the AFC until Week 6 this season when Cincinnati comes to town.)
New Orleans has won four consecutive road games dating back to last season. It is the first time they have had a streak of this length away from the Superdome since winning five in a row at Detroit, Chicago, Tampa Bay, Denver and Atlanta in the middle of the 2020 season.
PANTHERS (0-2, 0-1 at home)

Carolina is ranked 29th in the NFL in overall offense (yards gained per game) and 15th in points scored. They are 20th in rushing offense and 30th in passing. … They are ninth in the NFL in overall defense and 18th in points allowed. The Panthers are 29th against the run and third against the pass.
This is the third time in four seasons the Panthers have opened with consecutive losses. Both of the other two times (in 2019 and 2020) they won their third game. They have not opened a season 0-3 since losing their first five games on the way to a 2-14 record for then-Coach John Fox in 2010.
LINE TREND: The lookahead line (before the season) in this game was Saints -1, and it was as high as -3 for much of the early part of the week. It moved to Saints -2.5 just about everywhere on Thursday at -120, but was -110 to bet New Orleans at -2.5 by late Saturday night.


This will be the 11th straight game in the series the Saints will be favored. They have covered just four times during that stretch.

Kamara is in the lineup.

Re: Saints @ Panthers Game Day Thread
 

SO we're going to start Jameis whether his back is broken or not...

Re: Saints @ Panthers Game Day Thread
 

He’s quadruple padded what ever that means lol.

Re: Saints @ Panthers Game Day Thread
 

Means he fumbled and picked it up for a gain.

Re: Saints @ Panthers Game Day Thread
 

If he does that again we don’t have to punt:bng:

Re: Saints @ Panthers Game Day Thread
 

Unless his throw gets tipped for an INT. Isn't he tall enough for a QB to not have tipped passes?

Re: Saints @ Panthers Game Day Thread
 

BS call on Ingram

Re: Saints @ Panthers Game Day Thread
 

BS that wasn’t a chop

Re: Saints @ Panthers Game Day Thread
 

Refs already screwing us

Re: Saints @ Panthers Game Day Thread
 

Lol my username so relevant every week

Re: Saints @ Panthers Game Day Thread
 

I really hate the NFL referees. You rarely ever see a chop blocked call and that wasn’t one of em in the first place. They just find random **** to call.

Re: Saints @ Panthers Game Day Thread
 

Terrible call on the missed chop block

Re: Saints @ Panthers Game Day Thread
 

Bad call on Ingram. These calls need to be able to be challenged. The refs are so incompetent.

Re: Saints @ Panthers Game Day Thread
 

Flags are the best drive killer

Re: Saints @ Panthers Game Day Thread
 

Difference between 6’ and 6’4” is a 4” jump. While I couldn’t get that much air without falling out of my truck I’m pretty sure those guys can lol.

Re: Saints @ Panthers Game Day Thread
 

Refs starting early. Hard to see that as a chop block on Ingram.

Re: Saints @ Panthers Game Day Thread
 

I can’t lie…I hold my breath when Roby is on the field.

Re: Saints @ Panthers Game Day Thread
 

He’s average at worst. I rather him than apple

Re: Saints @ Panthers Game Day Thread
 

Confession… I started McCaffery this week, I’m so conflicted lol.

Re: Saints @ Panthers Game Day Thread
 

I hold my breath with all these bad referee calls. :bng:

Re: Saints @ Panthers Game Day Thread
 

Well some were talking about MI fumbling

Re: Saints @ Panthers Game Day Thread
 

Keep holding that bread.

Re: Saints @ Panthers Game Day Thread
 

Our team plays sloppy ball. Everybody looks unprepared. Sux.

Re: Saints @ Panthers Game Day Thread
 

It was a good strip... but Kamara needs to hold on tighter in those situations. Don't they practice those during camp?

Re: Saints @ Panthers Game Day Thread
 

Pete Carmichael needs to go man. All this basic ass playcalling is so ****ing trash. Line up in single back and run the ball on 1st and 2nd down then throw it on 3rd and 7. This **** is stupid man. This is why I kept begging for Eric Bienemy so we could have a fresh offensive scheme instead of the same **** we were running in 2009. Three elite receivers and a pass catching back and they keep on calling **** into the gut of the defense. I’m sick of it.

Re: Saints @ Panthers Game Day Thread
 

Agreed this offense is stale

Re: Saints @ Panthers Game Day Thread
 

This is where you see the value in a good head coach

Re: Saints @ Panthers Game Day Thread
 

And Dennis Allen ain’t **** as a head coach. All these mistakes continue to pile up under his watch.

Re: Saints @ Panthers Game Day Thread
 

With better Guard play, maybe this point is moot?
