Not Scared of the Panthers

spkb25 · 11-05-2009, 10:33 AM

Two of Three wins- Deadskins, and the Bucks. They beat an average Arizona team- average

Not impressed. We could beat them by 21+

... or they could beat us by 21. I hope our players aren't taking them as lightly.

I agree. I do believe we have the tools to blow practically anyone out but divisional games are always a little tougher....even if the other team has a less than mediocre record. In this case we'll have to see which Delhomme shows up

good point.
This

Tha
National
Football
League.

Great teams take care of business, and I'd like to clobber the Panthers.
Joe Theismann of all people predicted about 15 yrs. ago that the Saints &
Panthers would get really tired of each other someday, and the games
would become a good rivalry. I am sick of the Panthers. Sick of Steve Smith. And I want to kick their ***.

If we play our game they stand no chance. That 1960's run the ball clock control/field position/defense strategy doesn't work, especially if they get behind and Delhomme has to start slinging it. We can come from behind, they can't. In any game, if we start playing sloppy football we lose no matter who it is. They lost their fullback so that is not going to bode well.

Don't know if I would go that far. You just described how the Steelers and Giants have won the last two superbowls.

Actually, that is not correct.
Both the Steelers and Giants had to move the ball in the air to win their respective games.
Plus the Steelers would've lost had not been for that improbable Harrison TD and some "subjective" calls by the referees.

Their defense is very good. I would be worried about them as they always play tough. I'd also bet the under.

I was worried about Miami, and the Falcons. If we play hard I think we can beat them by 21. Their defense is not that good this year.

Tampa, and Redskins offense are terrible!

Let's hope the Saints get an early lead, like they have in most of the games this year.
That would, hopefully, put Carolina into a pass-happy mode. Then Jake can make a few completions to Sharper.
