Could the bye week be a bad thing?

[Doc Holiday]

would much rather have bye and 1 or 2 home playoff games then the possibility of having to go to both NO and Seattle for a Playoff game.

I didnt know Rivera coached the team back then? So no, he's not forgetting it, theres just absolutely no point in bringing it up. It has less than zero effect towards this current season.

 

and hopefully we wear black on black, now that the curse has been broken.

[LinvilleGorge]

the bye isnt as important as not having to go to the Superdome.

 

Yep.  Unbelievable how different the Saints are at home vs. on the road.  Two completely different teams.  You don't want to have to play them in that damn dome.

History disagrees agree with you, and it isn't just history with the Panthers. You don't have to like it, but it's true. I'm certainly not against a home playoff game, and a bye week, but I like our chances better with continuity. Plus, there's no reason we can't win on the road.

Someone is forgetting a certain season........

Pretty sure we shouldn't use what happened to the '08 team to determine what is a better situation for the '13 team.

Would I rather have a bye week than the saints having second seed, forcing every team they play except for Seattle to go to the Superdome?

[Gabeking]

I just want the panthers to play at Philly so I can actually go to a game this season :P

Again, it isn't just the Panthers that have had issues with this. It's all about continuity. So yes, whether you like it or not, it's relevant here.

oh I know...and bye weeks under RR scare the poo out of me.

 

 

But this team at home with a rocking BOA crowd behind them should be alright.

If you're using history then use the current history that Seattle and NO are basically unbeatable at home. I'll take my chances with home field vs the bye curse all freaking day

It's a relatively small sample size, but the Panthers are 0-3 coming off of a bye since RR and Cammy Cam took the reigns. Loss to Tennessee in 2011, Dallas last year and of course to Arizona this year.

If this team is anywhere close to what we think they can be then they should be able to handle a bye week and not get caught sleeping. I personally would love for us to have a bye and get everyone healthy.

Hey, don't be bringing facts into this discussion!

[RoaringRiot]

You guys are right. I hope we lose to the Saints now.
