Saints That Need to Come Up Big Tonight at Carolina
The Saints had a blocked field goal returned for a touchdown in a Week 2 loss at the New York Giants. A home game against a division opponent is a huge opportunity for the Panthers, especially against a weak New Orleans defense. If the Panthers offense can find their rhythm, the Panthers should win this one. It wasn’t the last possession of the game, but it carried the same weight as the last. Since that thrashing, Carolina’s secondary has had an additional four weeks to gain some experience and the pass rush is significantly better, as the Panthers have racked up 15 sacks in their three games since that loss in New Orleans. “It forces you to come underneath”. You have to win inside or separate inside. I would love to see him get more chances at the goal line, but I am not sure that will happen this week. Brees threw two touchdown passes and connected on 35 of 45 throws for 285 yards and one interception.
Nope. Sunday night, Monday, Thursday, and Saturday games are not part of NFL Sunday Ticket and therefore not eligible for streaming. You get teased, get excited, get deflated, get disappointed. I think he is a lock for 100 yards and a TD.
SAINTS DEFENSE: The Saints could have as many as four defensive regulars on the field for their rematch against Carolina who were unable to play in the previous meeting.
Sean Payton vs. Ron Rivera, Drew Brees vs. But before Newton’s Panthers play host to the Saints to kick off Week 11 in the NFL, Cory Bonini of TheHuddle.com is here to offer his expert fantasy football advice.
Both teams found ways to blow their respective games last week. “We still have our sights to everything that we want, but it’s still right in front of our eyes”. This is a guy who did not have a job, got a job when the Saints opted to cut their alleged opening day kicker and went with Lutz.
These were two teams coming off of crushing defeats in games that each easily could have won. “Nothing has been determined at this point”.
The Panthers running game continues to struggle this season.
At 5-4, and riding a four-win streak, the Dolphins must be cursing their luck that the AFC West is so strong this year as a Wild Card spot looks beyond them at the moment. The Saints answered with a long drive of their own, but after a nice play by Kurt Coleman to hold Coby Fleener short of the first down the Saints matched the Panthers score 3-3.
The Panthers lost former NFL Defensive Player of the Year Luke Kuechly (concussion), two-time All-Pro center Ryan Kalil (shoulder), defensive end Mario Addison (foot) and cornerback Leonard Johnson (chest) to injuries.
Upon making his premature departure, the veteran running back was replaced by Tim Hightower midway through the third quarter with New Orleans trailing 23-3.
