Week 2: New Orleans Saints (0-1) @ The Fighting Cam Newton's (Carolina Panthers 0-1)

Over the past few years the Saints are always good for at least one game where they look awful and lose to a team they were supposed to beat so hopefully they got that out of their system and win this game. I have nothing else to add except to wish everyone a happy Sunday and hope that your inner Jimmy Graham is able to dunk on whatever adversity is placed in your way. Peace and love.

Will be interesting to see how the Saints and Panthers both respond to losses in week one. Hopefully Greer will suit up this week and the Saints can do a better job of getting pressure up front. There should be a lot of motivation on the Saints side to bounce back from last week.

Go Panthers

I still trust the offense to score enough to win despite the terrible O-line performance, Drops, and a few errant throws by Brees last week. Smaller sample sizes, but they seem to handle pressure from a 4-3 better then 3-4 defenses

The defense on the other hand....Hopefully they'll rebound against a team/QB they've seen.

They had a legitimate chance to come back and tie even while playing as awful as they've ever played so I'm not really worried about the offense. I just hope that they don't get caught up in passing as much as last week. I love seeing Drew throw all over the place but when he's throwing 50+ times in a game, that's a sign that something has gone wrong.

The thing is, the line actually got pressure but Griffin ran around and found receivers who inexplicably would be standing wide open.

This game can honestly go either way. I can't chose a winner.

I don't see Carolina winning this one. The defense got lit up in the first half last week before putting the clamps on a bit. I have a feeling the Saints will move at will and score around 30 points. The Panthers will have to run well in order to keep Brees and Co. off the field and have a chance.
