Saints at Carolina ....

Today at 1pm.


Another division game to open the season. Going to be a tough one. Hopefully Cam gets the offense rolling and can survive the shortcomings of the D.

Beat me to it. Saw another Clemson/Panther fan showed up yesterday.

yup. I'll shoot him a message about the Panther board.

I'm here.
Think our "D" will stiffen any?
As good as he is,Cam can't carry the entire team!

At 1:30, I'm watching the Dabo show.Had to deal with the crappy gamecast at ESPN.Everything is so delayed there.Even First Row didn't show it..Pissed me off!
As soon as that show is over, I'll be back.

"D" was better in the 2nd half last week than the 1st (when we couldn't stop TB on 3rd down at all). We need to get the run game cranked up, too.

I think the offense will be able to make a pretty good showing today, but the Saints' offense will probably play like they have something to prove. Not sure we can hang with them in a shootout.

We may have dodged a bullet. One of the replacement refs for the game got pulled for being a Saints fan.

Just how do they screen and pick refs for games anyway?Do they even screen them to make sure they are going to be neutral?

I don't know - this seems like a bizarre circumstance to me. Probably most of the usual pro refs aren't really fans of any team. The replacement refs are kind of pulled in from all over, I think, so maybe this kind of thing is more likely to happen.

 

[Edisto_Tiger]

How do you grow up in America and not have a team to pull for?

Maybe they just hate football in general,only participating for the money?

 

[gobigred]

How is the Carolina D this year? I have Brees for fantasy football as well as RGIII (vs St Louis) and having indecision on who I should start)

Maybe they stick to being CFB fans - just part of the job.

The jury is still out, unfortunately. Today's game will tell a lot.

 

[gobigred]

I just have a tough decision because RGIII looked so good last week and Brees struggled for a lot of the game. Ahhhhhh. I never expected RGIII to look so good as a first game starter in the NFL.

 

[deal1]

"D" looks like it still sucks.Time will tell.

 

[JohnShadows]

We better find an answer for Sproles quick. Damn Drew Brees can throw a football. 7-0 Saints

 

[deal1]

7-0 NO to early in the game..

 

[gobigred]

Saints D looked pretty bad last week. I think Cam and Carolina offense should move the ball pretty well too.

 

[deal1]

I certainly hope so.
