Will the Bucs and Falcons actually be able to challenge the Panthers and Saints?

 

How will the series between the Panthers and Saints play out?

 

How does each rival stack up against the Panthers' strengths and weaknesses?

 

 

For me, i think the Falcons and Bucs are mediocre at best this year and probably not a threat to either the Panthers or the Saints. the Falcons defense is horrendous and their offense is, like last year, a few injuries away from a disaster area. I think the Panthers and Saints both sweep Atlanta; Carolina due to defense, and New Orleans due to overwhelming offense. The Buccaneers will probably be surprisingly good on both offense and defense, but i think it will take a while for them to get in sync with the new coaching staff. also, while Tampa will be better, i dont think their talent is enough to challenge Carolina or New Orleans. once again, i think the Panthers and Saints sweep the Bucs. the Bucs and Falcons probably split their series.

 

It gets more interesting between the Panthers and Saints. Many people in the media have talked the Saints up. ive heard a few Huddlers take the other extreme saying that the Saints will be terrible. IMHO, the Saints will be powerful but beatable. they didnt get any better for sure, and the new pieces they've had to plug in may keep them from clicking on all cylinders right away. unfortunately for the Panthers, the Saints should be clicking by the time we first meet them in BOA for the first game. the Panthers will be coming off a hard fought game at home versus Seattle and will have had only four days to prepare for the Saints. this seems like a recipe for disaster. :( i hope the Panthers prove me wrong, but that game looks like a loss to me. i mean, aside from the circumstances surrounding the game, the Saints will torch our secondary unless the secondary finds a rhythm before we play the Saints. our pass rush will help, its gonna take a team effort by the defense to contain the Mole. i think our offense will move on their defense, but that wont matter if our defense cant stop their offense. in other words, we have to make the Saints play our type of game, or we lose. I do think that the Panthers go down to the dome later in the season and level some revenge with a win though. maybe its just my perception but it seems like the Panthers have been one of the few exceptions to the Saints homefield advantage. the Panthers generally play well in the Dome, excluding the disaster in 2013. in short, i think the Panthers will have a very tough time sweeping the Saints. possible? yes. likely? hell no. i am worried that the Panthers will be swept by the Saints, but my faith in this team keeps me from believing that they will. 

 

Saints 5-1

Panthers 5-1

Bucs 1-5

Falcons 1-5

I think the Saints win it.

I think the Falcons will suck

In think Tampa and Carolina fight for 2nd and a wildcard would be their path to the playoffs

I agree with others, sleeping on Tampa is silly. They will be tough

16-0 Panthers

10-6 Saints

8-8 bucs

8-8 falcons

 

homer ;) but hey... could happen! Go Panthers!

 

Don't sleep on the bucs

 

im not. i think they will play us tough. both games this year will be closer than both games last year. idk... maybe at home we kick the Bucs in the teeth. but that opener in Tampa is gonna be a tough game. i just think the Panthers will have too much for a rebuilding team that has a new coaching staff and a back up QB for a starter that has a history of pooing the bed.

Not gonna lie, the Saints offense scares me. Who the fug do you put on Graham in pass coverage? And Cooks getting to the outside against our current secondary frightens me as well.  I don't trust any of them to make a tackle in space besides maybe Cason. 

 

Don't know much about their D.
