Around SBN: Knicks 90, Raptors 87: "Shump and Lin wouldn't let us lose."

Game # 11 Open Thread: Saints @ Panthers

Abbreviated open thread on this abbreviated week. I'm back to normal posting next week. Hopefully, the Saints will be trying to get back to .500.

  • What are the Saints thankful for? How 'bout the fact that the Les Miles-Michigan-LSU saga is deflecting attention away from them.
  • Carolina's last home win was November 19 ... 2006. But teams seem to be getting off the schneid against the Saints pretty regularly.
  • Olindo Mare better make all his kicks today.

Next Year

There's always next year.

Instead of Dorsey, let's get Colt David, the kicker.

Soothsayer Picks

  1. 17
  1. Colston
  1. McKenzie with a pick 6.

Least Valuable Player.... Jason David. (We need to make this a weekly or yearly award for the player that gives the opposing team a better chance of winning when he plays. For instance, last year, Fred Thomas was the Jason David LVP of the year. Maybe have a better name for it.)

Who is this Les Miles of whom you speak?

Anyway, Mike McKenzie made a couple great plays on the first drive, so, you know, good for him. And stuff.

Yay! Jason David with the 41 yard PI

Seriously, how many points would a team score if they just used a strategy of "throw it to the side Jason David is on every single time, regardless of whether or not he's supposed to have safety help, because all you need to do is either put a tall receiver on that side or pump fake and he'll bite, and the odds are the safety won't get over in time."

Finally

The offense gets a decent drive and scores.

On the plus side, the defense is defending the run well.

Jason David is garbage.

by southernsaint on Nov 25, 2007 1:11 PM CST reply actions  

Yes I'm happy with the run D

Sorry I missed all the fun last week, I was flying across the country. Not really sorry to have missed it, but you know what I mean.

by GeauxTigers on Nov 25, 2007 1:22 PM CST up reply actions  

Whoa. We are weening.

And Olindo's 46 yard FG would have been good from sixty. Damn!

by GeauxTigers on Nov 25, 2007 1:21 PM CST reply actions  

Mare and Defense

Mare has the leg, just no accuracy.

The defense has been stout against the run. Where has this been?

by southernsaint on Nov 25, 2007 1:24 PM CST reply actions  

Not related to the Saints

But with the rumors of Leslie Miles to Michigan and Bo Pellini to Nebraska, who will coach the Tigers?

by southernsaint on Nov 25, 2007 1:27 PM CST reply actions  

Good question

I think the local media's done a decent job of being hush hush about possible replacements while LSU is still playing games.

Tommy Tuberville's name has been thrown out there.
Chris Peterson from Boise State would be cool.

At this point it's all just speculation, but there's a thread over on one LSU message board going through it all here.

Clearly a lot of that list is just random name-slinging. Gene Chizik my butt.

What are Panther fans chanting?

WE WANT....???

They're clearly furious with Carr.

by GeauxTigers on Nov 25, 2007 1:37 PM CST reply actions  

Desperate

For a 40 something QB? That can't be good for Carr's confidence.

by southernsaint on Nov 25, 2007 1:43 PM CST up reply actions  

Panthers and Tigers

How can they not get a TD there? Pitiful.

Yeah, I've read some of that speculation.

by southernsaint on Nov 25, 2007 1:42 PM CST reply actions  

Rain

I was going to say the rain can't be good for the passing game, but there was a couple of good plays there.

by southernsaint on Nov 25, 2007 2:01 PM CST reply actions  

WRs are getting open

Yeah, Colston, Johnson, Patten, pretty much everyone's been open lately. And Brees is delivering the ball damn well.

by GeauxTigers on Nov 25, 2007 2:13 PM CST up reply actions  

WTF Brees

Does he think he's Tim Tebow?

by southernsaint on Nov 25, 2007 2:15 PM CST reply actions  

LOL I like Baldy's comment

Brees decided not to let it be in anyone else's hands but his own.

by GeauxTigers on Nov 25, 2007 2:16 PM CST up reply actions  

Quiet

The crowd is silent, is anyone at the stadium?

Foster is on my fantasy team, and I started him because of the Saints defense. Damn.

by southernsaint on Nov 25, 2007 2:26 PM CST reply actions  

Boy we have played some baaaad offenses

The Niners and the Panthers are just atrocious.

by GeauxTigers on Nov 25, 2007 2:41 PM CST reply actions  

I love the crowd

Cheering when the backup QB came in.

by southernsaint on Nov 25, 2007 2:47 PM CST reply actions  

Anyway, good win for us

Who knows if we're actually back on track, the Panthers are horrendous. But even though we're still 2 out in the division, 5-6 puts us a game out of the 2nd wild card spot, believe it or not.

by GeauxTigers on Nov 25, 2007 3:08 PM CST reply actions  

Inconsistent

It's a toss up how we play. No one can predict it. The dropped passes and run blocking need to improve. Other than that, win the turn over battle.

Yeah, I go here to look at post season percentages and who to cheer for or against: http://www.sportsclubstats.com/NFL/N...
