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

    • Tua has maybe 2 passes further than 5 yards. 
    • I'd give the rookie WR's more credit than that. Bryce did actually earn most his yards against the Chiefs, but that Saints game was all rookie WR's yac. It was probably like 80ish of the 170 total passing yards were yac by JT and Coker. The throws have been accurate though and he's obviously playing with more confidence. I still want to see something over 40 yards in the air at some point that looks good/accurate
    • We’ll agree to disagree.  Maybe change my wording to better roster would have been more accurate. Gamecocks have some nice defensive players….but they are also thinner than Clemson all around.  it’s at Clemson.  Dabo.  Better overall roster.  And they are favored slightly….which essentially supports my prior post that either could win but if you had to pick without a dog in the race Clemson is the smarter pick.   straight up vs Carolina? I trust Clemson’s O more than Carolina’s.    Top 10 vs top 60 with the QB edge.  And Clemson’s D has some real studs on it too.   Which is what Vegas says.   I’ll make my pick game day.  Will depend on who can and can’t suit up for Clemson.  Carolina has been much healthier this year.  But ST could be the difference.  That Louisville game exposed some massive flaws in their kick game.  You don’t really want ST weakness showing itself vs Beamer
