Saints @ Panthers Game Day Thread
 

For the New Orleans Saints and Carolina Panthers, it's story of big-time running games but teams heading in opposite directions.

Carolina (6-7) has lost five straight — despite 747 total yards and eight touchdowns from running back Christian McCaffrey during that span — and is in dire need of a win to keep its slim playoff hopes alive . Saints running back Alvin Kamara and backfield mate Mark Ingram have New Orleans (11-2) out in front in the NFC and looking to stay a step ahead of the Los Angeles Rams in the battle for the top seed and home-field advantage in the playoffs.

When the Saints pass | Advantage: Saints

New Orleans should get back on track this week against a Carolina defense that ranks 20th against the pass.

When the Saints run | Advantage: Saints

Carolina has been solid against the run this year, but the Saints have a potent attack that should get what it wants.

When the Panthers pass | Advantage: Saints

New Orleans has been stellar against the pass in recent weeks, and Carolina is struggling in the same area.

When the Panthers run | Advantage: Panthers

New Orleans has stopped just about everyone this year, but Christian McCaffrey is a different type of back and could cause problems.

A dominate win

Re: Saints @ Panthers Game Day Thread
 

U still cool with cam scam he he stay down stay down cool hand Luke

Re: Saints @ Panthers Game Day Thread
 

Should we use TLL more in space to get relieve for MT give them another bone to try to bury .

Re: Saints @ Panthers Game Day Thread
 

McCaffery is their whipping boy. They're riding him like a freaking racehorse. Other than him, they don't really have any offense.

Re: Saints @ Panthers Game Day Thread
 

I sure hope Davenport introduces himself to scam newton several times tonight!

Re: Saints @ Panthers Game Day Thread
 

I have been away from news and tv since last week. What's Armstead's status?

**Never mind, I went to the Friday injury report and see he's out.

Re: Saints @ Panthers Game Day Thread
 

I would like to have him back for next week.

Re: Saints @ Panthers Game Day Thread
 

Just win the next two.

Re: Saints @ Panthers Game Day Thread
 

If you get into his head (hits, hurries and/or sacks), he'll quit on you.

Let Vonn cheat to help the linebackers with Christian but you must spy (possibly Anzalone) on him. Essentially all they have is CM. Take away their "threat", no bone headed penalties, get off the field on 3rd down ... go home with a dubya, game over.

Next road game .. February 2019 in Atlanta.

Re: Saints @ Panthers Game Day Thread
 

Hoping someone sends Cam half of a Swiffer Sweeper after this game.

Re: Saints @ Panthers Game Day Thread
 

Armstead being out worries me. But we should still dominate this match up!

Re: Saints @ Panthers Game Day Thread
 

Its best to take the same approach I do with Armstead. If he plays, let it surprise you. Otherwise, just assume he's out.

Re: Saints @ Panthers Game Day Thread
 

Like no bone head discussions

Re: Saints @ Panthers Game Day Thread
 

Over/under on the times we hear Taysom is the “Swiss army knife? 8.5

Re: Saints @ Panthers Game Day Thread
 

I cannot WAIT for this kickoff!!! So much on the line. Let’s prove it to ourselves.

Re: Saints @ Panthers Game Day Thread
 

Nerves are kicking in. I really want a big game from our O and for the D to keep playing consistent

Re: Saints @ Panthers Game Day Thread
 

i just want to win because if we win tonight there's no way we lose both of the next two and the 1 seed is ours

Re: Saints @ Panthers Game Day Thread
 

Over/Under on how many times Witten uses "Look" as a transitional phrase?

He's at six in pregame already.

ANNOYING AND DISTRACTING!

Re: Saints @ Panthers Game Day Thread
 

Bad angle Lattimore.

Re: Saints @ Panthers Game Day Thread
 

Got a stop awesome

Re: Saints @ Panthers Game Day Thread
 

Bad play calling on offense.

Re: Saints @ Panthers Game Day Thread
 

Great playcall.

Re: Saints @ Panthers Game Day Thread
 

Apple and Bell with poor tackling on that 3rd down.

Re: Saints @ Panthers Game Day Thread
 

Brees still looking weird for the 3rd week in a row. Maybe it’s the road trip.

Re: Saints @ Panthers Game Day Thread
 

Brees is off

Re: Saints @ Panthers Game Day Thread
 

Bell is playing great lately.

Re: Saints @ Panthers Game Day Thread
 

When Brees has that kind of time it’s a given.

Re: Saints @ Panthers Game Day Thread
 

That tight end screen was fricking devious!!!

Re: Saints @ Panthers Game Day Thread
 

We miss Armstead and these WRs are not helping Brees at all. He was mad after that 2nd down. WRs "ignored" that scramble.

Re: Saints @ Panthers Game Day Thread
 

It may be just me but Alvin Kamara doesn't appear to be 100 % healthy.

The explosion isn't quite there.
