Bigger Team Problem: Saints' road woes vs. lousy Panthers offense

The NFC South might be the least competitive division in football this season, and for varied reasons. The Bucs are in rebuild mode and a work in progress. The Falcons' problem is pretty obvious, they have no defense or offensive line to protect their error prone QB. The Saints' are a terrible team on the road and are infinitely more competitive on their home turf.

As for the panthers, we run an offense that somehow has cam newton on it and lacks any explosiveness at the same time. I know people will point to our lack of offensive line talent, but it wouldn't be nearly as bad if the panthers actually had a gameplan that didn't include expecting a patchwork offensive line to play perfectly and block for 20 second WR routes to develop. Every week the Panthers come in with the same mindnumbing offensive strategy by running up the middle and haplessly trying to throw downfield. That may work against certain teams but only if their front seven is even less physical.

So expect one of two things to happen on Thursday:

1. The Panthers are going to gift wrap the Saints their first road win of the season as well as their first in over 11 months because Ron and Mike want to play 1970s ball control grind it out offense with a guy who might as well be a fuging jedi knight in Cam Newton against the Saints' potentially lethal spread, or...

2. The Saints really are that fuging bad on the road and are going to play a sloppy game against the Panthers to the point that they lose in comedic fashion. And then the Panthers are going to get poo on by the Eagles next week.

I'm leaning towards a big fat L and Ron continuing to manufacture reasons why Byron Bell is actually a good player on Friday being the most realistic possibility. But for the sake of all of us, if we're going to lose I'd hope at least Mike Shula pisses off Ron by dropping a pass in the endzone and gets fired the next day.

Love,

Frash

God forbid we lose Thursday night. If that does occur then I can see this whole thing going down the toilet pretty quickly...especially with the Eagles up next in Philly. Suicide watch for some on here will begin at 11:30 eastern time if that happens.

Our OLine can't handle anything that takes time to develop (deep passing). Not sure why we haven't adjusted to a west coast short dink and dunk passing scheme. Olsen is perfect for that. Benji can out muscle defenders in the middle on slants. Cam has proven he can read and throw from the pocket. Why can't we call plays that mask our weaknesses?

      Why not? Dude was tough as nails. Came off the field after a vicious hit and showed the coach how his ring finger was knocked out of socket halfway up. You could see the shock on Fox's face. Brad just  pulled  on the finger, grimaced, got it back in alignment and went back in for the next play and blew up an opposing linebacker or two. Dude is legendary.

      Motown let on like he'd like to play at least another 5 years in his presser. I fell he was truthful and us fans over did his knee. The guy started like 108 starts in a row and only missed like 2 games over each of the past years.  I think as long as the team agrees with his value that Motown has, he will sign another contract extension to push the void years into the 2030s.  OLmen can play at high levels up til 40. Trent williams is doing it, Richie Incognito leftd and came back to play until he hit 38. Lane Johnson is still playing at a top level while 38. You member Greg Van Roten, he's somehow still playing at 36 and he started here after being a substitute teacher years before. If you are able to get over the 32 year bump, its possible to reach 38 with luck. Colleges do a poor job of preparing new OLmen, many times that vet is better.   Rams were begging Andrew Whitworth to come back while he was 39, if you got the genes, luck and still willing to put in the hard work....it is possible to play until 38 as a OLmen*starting level*

      Shaq was a fantastic LB, he just happened to have been standing in the shadow of a Panthers great and a Hall of Famer. He was team-lead starter quality for all 32 teams of the NFL. Don't throw shade on him, he was never just a guy.
