We had a college football forum for a decade. there was like one post a month in it.

Here are the power rankings from across the interwebs provided by panthers.com The Panthers were typically ranked 5 spots lower last week across the board. 25th NFL.com NFC South: Buccaneers 1st, Saints 10th, Falcons 28th ANALYSIS: "Sam Darnold got his Revenge Game, but the most exciting development to come out of a 19-14 win over the Jets was a Carolina defensive front seven that used speed and athleticism to completely outclass its opponent. Brian Burns and Shaq Thompson led a swarming Panthers defense that had rookie Zach Wilson running for his life from the first series. Darnold overcame some early miscues to deliver a strong performance in his Panthers debut, while Christian McCaffrey -- a ho-hum 187 total yards -- was back to looking like the best running back in football. These Panthers could be frisky." 23rd ESPN.com NFC South: Buccaneers 2nd, Saints 9th, Falcons 27th ANALYSIS: "Top rookie: CB Jaycee Horn Horn wasn't perfect, as he did give up an 8-yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter, but that was on a perfect pass from Zach Wilson to Corey Davis. What he didn't do in playing all but one defensive snap was give up anything big down the field. He kept the plays in front of him and his man-to-man coverage allowed the defensive front to pressure Wilson. Not a bad start for the son of former NFL receiver Joe Horn." 23rd CBSSports.com NFC South: Buccaneers 1st, Saints 6th, Falcons 29th ANALYSIS: "They did some good things in beating the Jets, but they have to be better than that going forward. It sure has to be good to have Christian McCaffrey back running the football." 26th BleacherReport.com NFC South: Buccaneers 1st, Saints 10th, Falcons 31st ANALYSIS: "They say that revenge is a dish best served cold. If that's the case, then Panthers quarterback Sam Darnold must have been feeling pretty frosty Sunday. Granted, it was a hardly a blowout. But Darnold got a measure of payback against the team that he spent his first three seasons with, throwing for 279 yards and a long score to another ex-Jet, Robby Anderson. Darnold and Anderson weren't the only players on Carolina's offense that showed up. Tailback Christian McCaffrey turned 30 touches into 187 total yards. Wide receiver D.J. Moore caught six of eight targets for 80 yards. Carolina's defense notched six sacks and allowed just 252 total yards. It was a good performance on both sides of the ball, but it also came against one of the league's worst teams. A much stiffer test awaits in Week 2 against a New Orleans Saints team that just smoked the Green Bay Packers."

Pretty sure they measure how much time he had to throw. Apparently it's the worst in the league. Credit to Sam for working with it.

Found this on Twitter. Pass Block Win Rate through week 1 (ESPN): CLE-78% PHI-75% SF-69% GB, NYG-67% CIN-62% DEN, MIN, NO-59% JAX-58% LAR-56% MIA, TB-55% SEA-54% TEN-53% LAC-52% LV-51% ARI, BAL, NYJ, PIT-50% DET-48% IND-47% NE-44% BUF-41% CHI, KC-40% ATL-36% DAL, HOU-35% WAS-33% CAR-20% Yeeeeesh. Panthers lose pass blocking 4 out of 5 times.

(he was already out 6 weeks, but that rona really making it's rounds in Nola)

Oh dear

Offensive line coach talking about his rookies. From Panthers dot com "You know what, they're closer than I thought they would be," Meyer said. "Brady's done a lot of good things, and when we first got Brady we didn't know if he'd be a tackle or a guard and I think he could be either. And we've been able to flip him both sides, play right and left, and he's done a nice job. He's got good feet, he's a smart kid, obviously he's a little older, as a (soon-to-be) 25-year-old rookie. So he's more mature and he gets it. "And with Deonte, the big thing with him was to make sure he keeps his weight in check, and he's done that. He's done a great job, he's in the 330s now, back from when we saw him at the Senior Bowl and he was 364. But he's done a good job, and he wasn't one of those big guys who can't move. He's a quick-twitch kid who has a lot of good lower-body explosion. He's learning, they both are, the different techniques we teach. But I would say they're closer to being ready than they are farther away."

This guy is balls too. Lol

We drafted a long snapper that didn't make the roster instead of a kicker.

They don't do that this year. This year's teams forfeit. The NFL is done with scheduling nightmares.

Updating his prior report, ESPN.com’s Adam Schefter says that a total of eight people have tested positive for COVID. Six offensive coaches, a player, and a nutritionist will enter the COVID protocol. It could get worse come Wednesday. The weekly testing protocol for vaccinated players and staff requires the tests to be divided over three days. More could return positive results on Wednesday. None of the vaccinated players or staff who test positive can return until generating negative tests at least 24 hours apart. For unvaccinated players — who are tested daily — a positive test results in a minimum absence of 10 days

Our kicker sucks.

If it is a blowout and we don't really need every single play to be a gainer, hell put anyone in at running back. But in close games like that you need your game breaker taking every running rep possible.

Why would you rush Chubba when the best RB in football is on the roster?

The Panthers are currently 3.5 point underdogs to the Saints even though they are playing at home. https://www.usatoday.com/sports/odds/ Side note: Falcons are 13 point dogs to Tampa Bay.

Good lord man, LT is much higher value than CB. This isn't even debatable.

From the Athletic So perhaps some of us were too hard on Brady. The calls could have yielded points if the execution was there.

https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2020/jan/30/new-orleans-saints-catholic-abuse-crisis I could never pull for this garbage organization.

As soon as another RB learns to pick up a blitz properly CMC will get some time to breathe.

I hated it. Not very interesting. I prefer having the professional talkers on in the background and barely pay attention to them.

Talk to me about the New Orleans Saints. What do you know? Are they that good or is Green Bay just that bad?

This thread dedicated to all thing fug the Saints. Fug em. Fug em long, and fug em hard.
