New Orleans Saints vs. Carolina Panthers: Breaking Down Carolina's Game Plan | Bleacher Report

What do we need to do?

I'll start. 5 sacks for 49 yards didn't hurt, last time around. But, weirdly, we got no turn-overs off any of those sacks.

1. Continue the sack-a-thons and make Scamster fumble the ball! Get Jordon and Junyah some film on Derrick Thomas. ;-)

2. Continue the shut down run blocking. 128 yards only last time. Let's go for less than 100!!

3. Defense -- helloooo -- Interception is not a painful medical procedure. Scamster is very inaccurate at times. Ball-hawking is a respectable career move in the Who Dat nation -- and has some very sweet perks.

I know the definition of insanity is repeating the same failure and expecting a different out come...

How do you define deviating from success and expecting success.

That is a misconception and is NOT the definition of insanity. It's a quote from Albert Einstien when he spoke about results of a scientific study.

People just say that because they don't know any better.

Don't go 3 and out for most of the game.

Many people have been attributed to the origin of the quote: Einstein, Twain, to name a few....

It has been paraphrased from the original that came out of the Basic Test of Narcotics Anonymous Copy Write 1982
From the book
"Insanity is repeating the same mistakes and expecting different results"

What were you saying about not knowing any better?

Yeah, I'm surprised more people besides Danno aren't keying in on this....it's all about the first quarter, folks....



As long as Drew and the Saints don 't shoot themselves in the foot and dig a RIDONKULOUS 14 or 17 POINT HOLE for themselves, in the first ten minutes of the game, with a Football Follies-esque assortment of fumbles, pick 6's, onside kicks, botched kick returns, bobbled drops, 3-and-outs, personal fouls out of bounds and other ABSURD assorted nonsense, before they even get a first down....as long the first quarter is anything resembling NORMAL sensible football, instead of a total Saints meltdown, the Saints have every chance of winning this game EASILY. Even possibly running away with it.



But if the TV cuts back from a commercial to start the second quarter and they're down 14 or 17 to nothing again, and you see Morstead lining up to punt after another 3 and out, then I think we can all pretty safely reach for the whiskey and start looking to next year ....



Look at what happens in SO MANY of the famous heartbreaker road losses under Sean Payton, over the years: Seattle this year, Rams this year, SF '11, Ravens '10, even Chicago NFCCG in '06? In all those disappointing games, things got crazy and out of control VERY early in the game, first quarter. Everything goes nuts -- Saints get punched in the mouth, the plan goes out the window, they get in a huge ridiculous deep hole, and the Saints try but can't come back from it. Key to this game IMHO, is to AVOID that. To win in Carolina they need to control the first quarter and do everything they can think of that is, uh, NOT THAT.
