CBS: Panthers will ride momentum to win over Saints


Cary Kollins

Recommended Posts

yay!  some excerpts

 

 


It hardly matters that the Saints easily beat Carolina 31-13 in Week 14. If the Panthers return the favor against New Orleans this weekend, Carolina only would have to get past the Falcons in Week 17 and the Panthers' first division title since 2008 would be theirs.

 

 

After an up-and-down sophomore season in 2012, Cam Newton has reminded us again that he's one of the top young quarterbacks in the game. He's cut down on his mistakes (21 touchdowns vs. 11 interceptions) and he's completing 62.3 percent of his passes -- which would be a career high. The team also doesn't have to rely solely on Newton, receiver Steve Smith and tight end Greg Olsen for its offensive output -- the passing attack is ranked 28th in the league, anyway. Instead, the eighth-ranked Panthers running game, led by DeAngelo Williams (having his most-productive season since 2009), Newton and Mike Tolbert, have given the team enough firepower to potentially win the entire division.

The Saints are built to play indoors and we are built to beat them (and Atlanta)   We did a horrible job of tackling and overall execution.   I think our Fans will provide the extra motivation and we'll play better.   I am not one for predicting the score but if we play New Orleans like we did against the Patriots.  We will win. 

 

Of course we have some motivation to recover from the butt whooping we took from New Orleans.   It will be nice for us to face them again in our back yard instead of us having to go down there.

I'm convinced Cam took Boomer's flower on prom night then never called.

Yeah I saw that roundtable discussion with him, Marino, Sharpe, and Cowher and he was visibly pissed that the others were giving Cam some props. He kept bringing up the Superman bs like that alone makes Cam a selfish player. When Sharpe called him out and said he would take Cowher's opinion on Cam over Boomer's because he had built a championship team I thought Boomer was coming over the table. Maybe it was a bad menopause day

    • It didn’t feel like we’re the Bills bc we’re not a consistent conference contender yet we’re a rebuilding team. But with the game on the line we played just like the Bills went straight down the field and scored a tuddy then converted a 2pt conversion I have to give credit where credit is due. And the chiefs played us like we were the Bills in an AFC championship game, drive down the field and kicked a walk off FG to win at the end very similar to me. Are saying our defense stunk yesterday? Vs an elite offense team with elite coaching an elite QB man idk what you want them to do. KC does these things to the best defenses in the league consistently to win AFC chips and Super Bowls let’s not devalue who they are. I saw us play KC to the wire and barely lose defense did its thing as much as it could. Bingo!!! We’re also forgetting how injured we’ve been defensively this year, yes we need to build up the D but adding a few pieces and D Browns successful rehab should make us a very strong unit again. Couple that with the offense we saw yesterday and we’re winning our division.
    • Canales deserves a lot of credit. I'm very pleased. He's definitely making strides with Bryce. I also think some of his lack of commitment to Bryce as the starter is to motivate Bryce. I think he liked what he saw when Bryce was benched.  Even the Defense looks tremendously better with just a couple more pieces getting healthy. Wonnum has made our pass rush viable again.  I would love to see this team with one more good player across the defensive front, DT or an edge rusher.  
    • I didn’t see any limitations yesterday
