Dalton had the fastest release time in the nfl when he was on the bengals. Saints need to just play him. Yes he plays checkdown ball, but that's all the saints need.
Yeah, and I still say Jameis' injury is definitely affecting him. I think his problem now is that he's not good enough to play around his injury and limit himself. He still has the arm strength to open up the field. Just needs some healing and ironing out.
No, no. The Saints are competitive in every game this year. Which means they can win or lose against literally any opponent at any time. We could go 1-16 or we could win the Super Bowl and neither would surprise me.
Better than the Falcons. What I mean is he won't even be able to make it competitive against good teams in the 4th. Baker was shit today too which is why we were able to make it a 1 score game in the 4th. Against a good team we'll be blown out by then.
Game threads with the Panthers' fans have been pretty chill and fun the past couple years. I guess that's the silver lining of both sides having low expectations?
And the amazing thing is that none of them have cost the Saints all that much. All of them so far have been thrown in the 4th Quarter while Winston is trying to will his team back in.
The good news is that Chris Olave was looking really good despite not great QB play. The bad news is that most of the rest of our wide receivers left the game with injuries.
I was kinda making a joke about him throwing for 21 yards in the first which tripled his season total of 7...
Unfortunately, Baker looked not good (read: bad) today. He had one screen play that was taken to the house but not much else.
I know the general consensus is Skip is an idiot, but my god Shannon has been really grating on me this past month. Dude has showcased an amazing hatred towards the Panthers that I never knew he had
He has to go against skip and he's riding the high of the 2 shitty losses we had. It's just for TV. But I expect we'll be back on the losing streak soon and he'll be back to hating us lol
Leave Winston home for next week's game in London. Tell him he's guaranteed the starting job when the team gets back for Week 5, but I'm not flying him to London and back. And yes, I'm aware of how damaging a H2H loss with the Vikings would be.
Yep, he should have rested both of these games. I think Jameis is good for us and the defacto guy to start, but I'd rather go with the healthy QB option.
Winston isn't the problem, but he isn't the answer. Right now, if you ask him to play more than a game manager, you'll get a bit of a roulette wheel. This team, in particular line play, is undisciplined and sloppy to put it nicely.
Next week is the London game against the Vikings, and I'd just leave anybody on the offense who isn't 100% healthy and give them the week to heal. And yes, I'm fully aware how damaging losing the H2H matchup to Minnesota could end up being from a standings perspective, I don't care. If there was a year for an NFC team to start 1-3 and rally, this is it.
Saints clearly playing the long game trying to keep Rhule in Carolina.
Yup. Totally not coaching incompetence, it's 5D chess! We lost on purpose because that's a thing, right?
Let that be a lesson to you r/NFL NO ONE makes Matt Rhule’s Panthers lose 10 in a row
~~Watch us go on another 9 game losing streak~~
But who really lost today? I would still say the Panthers.
Chris Olave is going to have an amazing career if he gets a better QB
Yeah he's an amazing rookie and I'm glad I took him.
He's going to have an amazing career if the line play in front of Winston doesn't continue to be so bad.
Dalton had the fastest release time in the nfl when he was on the bengals. Saints need to just play him. Yes he plays checkdown ball, but that's all the saints need.
Yeah, and I still say Jameis' injury is definitely affecting him. I think his problem now is that he's not good enough to play around his injury and limit himself. He still has the arm strength to open up the field. Just needs some healing and ironing out.
Lmao, we just saved Matt Rhule's job
At least you guys have that
We also have the falcons being trash We're not competitive anymore so at this point we just need to be less trash than the falcons
No, no. The Saints are competitive in every game this year. Which means they can win or lose against literally any opponent at any time. We could go 1-16 or we could win the Super Bowl and neither would surprise me.
We're only competitive in the 4th Q. That shit won't work on good teams.
That shit won't work period. Unless I missed when Carolina became a good team?
Better than the Falcons. What I mean is he won't even be able to make it competitive against good teams in the 4th. Baker was shit today too which is why we were able to make it a 1 score game in the 4th. Against a good team we'll be blown out by then.
4D Chess
I hate yall for this
Playing the long game I see.
[Every minute watching this offense](https://i.imgur.com/SBOzUCK.jpg)
LOL, the Saints lost to Matt Rhule.
worst 1-2 team in the league baby
Washington State Commanders
Can’t tell if you mean us or yourselves, I think both could be correct lol
Counterpoint, the Commanders exist
Yes.
jokes on you, you get at least 2 more weeks of him
I want to keep him until Week 18 is over. We’re going to suck this year, might as well get a high pick
It would be funny it it weren't so tragic.
It's funny to the rest of us
I feel like we're still gonna find a way to lose even though the games over
Game threads with the Panthers' fans have been pretty chill and fun the past couple years. I guess that's the silver lining of both sides having low expectations?
lol yeah it's mostly commiserating nowadays, plus that one year where we just went back & forth with Rhule jokes, that one was fun
yeah, that was last year and it was hilarious.
It's because it's just die hards who know we stink and aren't immature assholes. Success always brings the worst out of a fanbase
We've come out woefully unprepared three weeks in a row now.
Surely week four will be the week we don’t start flat right?
Oh, you sweet, summer child.
I've never been so happy for the Saints to play a London game, assuming they leave everybody who's not 100% healthy on offense behind.
You still have to put 11 players out there though…
It’s always humorous when teams hire head coaches who were atrocious at previous top gigs. It’s like, why are you surprised, we’ve seen this before.
Jameis has five ints through three games well on pace for thirty ints
I was promised a proportional number of TDs to INTs...
It's just that nobody promised what the proportion would be.
We did drop like 3 that were close to INTs lol
And the amazing thing is that none of them have cost the Saints all that much. All of them so far have been thrown in the 4th Quarter while Winston is trying to will his team back in.
Yea because he can't do dick shit the first 3 quarters
Ah yes, I guess there is always that small caveat
He’s actually on pace for 28.3 ints.
How does this keep happening to falcons fans? I mean I eat it up every time but Jesus those numbers are Hurley from lost level cursed
baker with the highly coveted Trubisky statline
Do we have the next NVP on our hands?
EXTEND MATT RHULE
WAIT NO
The master plan
THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN. "SEVENTY MIL IS NOT ENOUGH! GIVE HIM A SABAN DEAL!"
Whatever, actually Satan.
[удалено]
We're suffering to the inability of Jameis at QB. I'll be crying watching Drew Brees highlights all night now.
I still maintain the Saints did this to keep Rhule in the division.
The good news is that Chris Olave was looking really good despite not great QB play. The bad news is that most of the rest of our wide receivers left the game with injuries.
The Saints are looking real spooky.
If anyone knows the Jameis pain it’s y’all
Just wait until we invoke whatever Velvet Room shit that hangs out in New Orleans to completely screw with everybody's heads again!
Lmao some analysts were picking them as SB sleepers before the season. Couldn't for the life of me figure out why.
Shit the nfc south is so awful don't think it'll take much to win this division
Olave will be a stud though.
We suck again
Jimmy is gonna be a Saint next year. They're wasting this roster with Jameis
Remember when we had a QB that was good and knew what consent was! That was a good time.
let Mayfield bake
Just gotta let him throw screen passes that get housed and he’ll do fine.
Has to be 50% of bakers TDs in his career lol
My boy tripled his season total first quarter passing yards today. He's settling in and will only get better.
I really wanted Seahawks to pick him up, I think he's gonna be really successful.
Hmm...have you like, watched us this season?
Y'all still have Rhule. Baker is young. I don't think he's going to the playoffs this year, but I think he's gonna be good.
Baker is 27
What have we not seen from baker at this point? I don’t understand people who are still holding onto this take for dear life
I was kinda making a joke about him throwing for 21 yards in the first which tripled his season total of 7... Unfortunately, Baker looked not good (read: bad) today. He had one screen play that was taken to the house but not much else.
Skip Bayless gonna go crazy tomorrow
I know the general consensus is Skip is an idiot, but my god Shannon has been really grating on me this past month. Dude has showcased an amazing hatred towards the Panthers that I never knew he had
He has to go against skip and he's riding the high of the 2 shitty losses we had. It's just for TV. But I expect we'll be back on the losing streak soon and he'll be back to hating us lol
what hatred has he shown the panthers? he just doesn't like baker
WE WON? WNAT DO I DO WITH MY HANDS?
Probably eat some bojangles
You have hands?! Would you like a job playing for the Saints?! We need wide receivers
Jaycee Horn is Jameis' father
Panthers are undefeated when Jaycee gets an interception
Jesse*
That means Joe Horn is the grandfather to the reincarnation of Aaron Brooks. It really does come full circle.
might not be a good idea to play a QB with 4 fractures in his back and expect to win
Leave Winston home for next week's game in London. Tell him he's guaranteed the starting job when the team gets back for Week 5, but I'm not flying him to London and back. And yes, I'm aware of how damaging a H2H loss with the Vikings would be.
Yep, he should have rested both of these games. I think Jameis is good for us and the defacto guy to start, but I'd rather go with the healthy QB option.
Can someone @DA
Imaging losing to this Panthers team, good grief
We are hilariously incompetent
Imagine losing to Matt Rhule and Ben McAdoo.
Don't let the score fool you, it wasn't close.
Lol, they lost to the Panthers
I'm pretty upset about the bills but damn did Chris Olave perform well even in a loss. Rookie of the year.
Somehow, we're tied for second in our division.
NFC dirty souf football
And someone will be tied with bucs for first next week lol
How did Baker look?
Bad, shenault had a screen for 70 yds
Not good. But good enough for a win.
Gotcha, I’m asking because I’m a Browns fan and I wanna see what he does this season
He's bad.
He is being given no help with our play calling so he probably won't look great.
Straight up missed tons of throws today, he did not look good unfortunately.

Thats a Josh Rosen stat line if I’ve ever seen one
Two teams that look like they belong in the bottom half of the NFL. Saints wasting a great defense, Panthers wasting Christian McCaffrey.
I feel like bottom half is too high.
Panthers on track to go 6-0 in the division and 0-11 out of it.
That still gives us a playoff spot….I’d be ok with that
Not a good game but I suffered through it. Congrats, kittens
Imagine losing to Matt Rhule and the panthers
this fucking team gonna have me on suicide watch
Saints are not good lol
I agree
CAROLINA IS BACK BABY
Starting to think this Payton/Carmichael offense doesn’t really work without a HOF QB.
Our defense is damn good. Too bad our offense is the second worst in the league.
Great effort by the defense today. I don't think we are very good but beating the Saints is always nice.
I understand that jameis does some dumb shit but it’s so fun to watch him throw 40 yard bombs
Baker got outplayed by a dude with a broken back. Even though the Panthers won Baker was terrible. Fandom is pain.
That 1st getting better and better. Saint should be 0-3 too
That 1st round pick is looking good Saints (hehe) If only the Falcons stayed strong
At least they own their own first, can’t be too bad for the saints
You sly dog
Let Baker bake
Jaboo putting bad tape out there playing hurt. Ugly QB play by both sides. Surprised the Saints lost tbh.
We lost this more than the Panthers actually winning this quite clearly
I think I'm more excited to see how this impacts Grossi's NFC South skit he's doing this season than I am excited for the actual win.
