Edit: Damn, I forgot….I already put on new underwear so the team is screwed anyway!

Good grief I’m glad you guys said all that. Now I feel just as crazy as before but at least I know others are just as insane as I am. Lmao!!

I was just thinking how I had to put on all the same clothes I wore last Sunday for Monday’s game.

I said this before the Titan’s game; “This is gonna be a really tough game. We have no Kamara. The Titans are a rough, physical team.”

So, replace Titans with Panther and add that we are on the road. Panthers will be a wounded team licking their wounds for a nationally televised home game. They swept us last year. We ran the ball for squat last game (Despite Guido pointing out that we had RBs other than Kamara and Miller). Gotta treat this game like we are the underdog team.

Let's not forget that the Titans were the #1 ranked run defense in the league last season, while Carolina was ranked in the bottom half. Carolina allowed the 6th most yards rushing in the league last week.

Not forgetting anything. I’ve pointed that out several times. Fact is we are sub .500 against Carolina since Drew retired. Laugh all you want, this is going to be a tough game.

Different active players on both teams. I never said it couldn't be tough. Although, I suspect we'll make a pretty good showing against a mistake prone rookie with a depleted secondary.

Here’s to hoping the players aren’t taking the Panties as lightly as you are.

That rookie QB ain't never seent a pass rush like he's fixing to feel, especially with Latt and Adebo locking down the WRs. Penning will progress much faster than we realize. He just needs the reps.

This is my biggest hope...he clearly looked slow. I do think a lack of experience to the game at this level is a major contributor to his slowness.

You hear all the time about the speed of the game and every player takes time to adjust. Missing all of the time these first two off-seasons have to have had an affect. Just look at Ruiz. His first two off-seasons were totally non-existent and it took him time to become a really solid starter. Hopefully things start slowing down more and more with each game and practice.

On paper, we should demolish them and that's what I'm afraid of. Public money will likely pour onto the Saints as well. I'm just hoping we can pull out a win on the road. I don't really care if it's pretty or not.
