New Orleans is now ON NOTICE!!!!!!!

[raleigh-panther]

Right, the same offense with a top 5 running game and a healthy Shockey & Colston. Not much of a difference at all.

Ahh, the Kings of the first half of the season.

Let's see where the Saints are at the end of the season.

Saints do have one thing in their favor, due to their last place finish in the dvision last year, an easier schedule, even get to play NE in 'the dome'.

Perhaps a healthy 'Shockey and Colston' will be enough to beat poor old, beaten down and beaten up, Jake Delhomme 'in the dome'.

[Saint J]

21 Turnovers

16 INts

6 TDs

16 sacks

Then you have absolutely nothing to worry about against the cellar dwelling Panthers, 3-4 record, over the hill QB, a coach who is probably going to be fired in January..no worries whatsoever.

...so why are you on here? why aren't you down at Acme Oyster Company or Patouts or some other place in New Orleans, hell you should be organizing your Super Bowl trip now...I hear air fare is expensive this year.

You blitz a lot.....there will be games that the blitz will be exactly why you lose. Not saying it will b/c Carolina....but it is gonna get you beat eventually.

[Saint J]

Jake certainly won't be the QB to do it.

[CRA]

Jake certainly won't be the QB to do it.

yeah, b/c he has he never done it before right....oh, wait....he has never lost in NO as a Panther.

All Carolina has to do is play the same defense they have done the past few weeks and run the ball. Jake will need to make maybe 2 or 3 key passes......Saints are beatable. You have looked beatable. Saints will lose 1-2 division games this year.

Brees will give the D chances to make plays....he does it every week. He is a great QB...he also tosses balls up for grabs and his WRs have won those....but there will be chances for the D to make him pay.

[Saint J]

Jake's done, what he did in the past is irrelevant, his best game this year was throwing for 90 yards on 7 passes. How pathetic is that?

Our secondary will eat him alive if the Panthers are in a hole and have to air it out.

When the turnovers swing the other way, you'll lose games. Should have lost last night, if Ryan hadn't helped your stats you bragging about. You are still the Saints, you may not make the playoffs. You losers have been playing football for 42 years and don't own a George Halas Trophy. We have only been playing since 95 and we own one. In fact we've been to 3 NFC Championship games, and yall have been to one in 42 years! Guess what? You won't go to one this year either!

If the Panthers stay competent with the run, then they won't be in a hole and that pretty points per game stat for New Orleans is going to take a big hit.

If the Panthers get cocky and try to air it out too much, then this game will turn out exactly as everyone expects it to.

The Saints if they're hot can score on nearly each and every single drive, it's going to take a lot more than competence with the run to avoid falling to a big deficit. Also, as much as you like to run, Jake will be forced to drop back a few times and air it out which could prove devestating for Carolina vs. our secondary.

[rubberneck]

Saint J. What is the point. These fools will be calling for Delhomme's head next week. The only way they can win is if Pep has a big day along with their running game. Stick ball in Jakes hands and they lose every time. Been like that for years. People have been carrying his jock for years in Charlotte.

Offenses don't score if they're on the sidelines. Big days for DWill and Stewart equals bad days for Brees and company. And Jake passing a few times isn't nearly as big a threat if the run game is bearing the brunt of the load. Your boys can score on every drive, but it won't mean anything if my boys are chewing up 10 minutes per drive with scores at the end.

Not really, the Saints biggest problem the past two weeks has been getting gashed by the big run not necessarily getting pounded each and every play for 5YPC.

3.4 YPC is all ya need if you run every down. And each of them will more than likely break a few off for 20+ yards. Either getting pounded or getting gashed, you are probably not going to like sunday. Not saying you'll loose, it'll probably just be a very stressful afternoon.
