Newton Accuses Hochuli of Age-ism

So he and Panthers coach Ron Rivera, despite preparing as if Brees would go – “if we get the other guy, then so be it”, Rivera noted – now will face McCown.

For the first time since 2003, the Panthers stand 3-0 after beating New Orleans 27-22 in front of 73,402 in poor playing conditions at Bank of America Stadium.

However, Jonathan Stewart may have the best matchup of this contingent hoping to break out on September’s final Sunday, and his combination of role and cost also elevates him into a prime DFS play as an RB2 or low-end RB1 if you’re into Rob Gronkowski-affected budgets.

Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos have not looked overly impressive in the young season, but they still have a chance to improve to 3-0 when they visit the winless Detroit Lions tonight. As Sean Payton said earlier this week, Clark Kent isn’t walking through that door to save the Saints’ season. “He felt like he made progress throughout the week and yet it’s still not where it needs to be, or where we would feel comfortable with the strength that he needs”. There’s no silver lining. The Saints made the playoffs five times for a franchise that had previously won one playoff game in its existence. It is a lot worse considering Drew Brees is out and Josh McCown is in.

“With that play we have a high tendency of doing something else to show the defense one thing and counteract and do another“, said Newton, who has thrown for five TDs this season and run for two.

The Panthers got the ball back at their 19 yard line with 2 minutes remaining. “Our margin of error isn’t that (easy) to overcome”. They lack playmakers. They lack talent. Sunday’s meeting is the 41 meeting between the teams, and New Orleans is the most common opponent in Panthers history.

Detroit has dropped its first two games – both on the road – and is coming off a lackluster performance in a 26-16 loss at Minnesota a week ago.

The Saints’ offense has sputtered in the opening two weeks of the regular season, with consecutive games of 19 points and an average of 366 yards per game. Carolina may still be without star linebacker Luke Kuechly, but don’t expect their defense to back down now against the vulnerable Saints.

In the first quarter, McCown was 13-14 for 95 yards. The Saints defense unfortunately stayed lost in the fog. “He handled the looks that we were getting”. They were your best fantasy players and probably your second-favorite team.

It was Newton’s 35th rushing touchdown of his career, tying him with Randall Cunningham and Steve Grogan for seventh-most in National Football League history by a quarterback.

For just the second time in his last 29 games, Newton threw for 300-plus yards.

As the losses multiply and the frustration mounts, the sense of urgency grows.

The Panthers are 2-0 for the second consecutive season after earning victories over AFC South foes Jacksonville and Houston. “We try to find things that we do well and just focus on them”.

Two New Orleans players will have a homecoming of sorts in Charlotte this week.

The Dolphins’ waffling resulted in a ideal marriage for Brees and Payton.
