Thirteen months ago the Saints traveled to Bank of America
Stadium to butt heads with the Carolina Panthers. They handily defeated the Panthers 28-10 to
end a 7-game losing streak. A month
later the Panthers, seeking to snap their 6-game losing streak, visited the
Superdome. The Saints dug a hole for
themselves and wound up losing 41-10.
Saints fans will remember the melee in the first quarter of
that game that was sparked by QB Cam Newton making an ass of himself with that
damned “Superman” celebration I detest.
Saints QB Drew Brees has a shoulder injury. If he doesn’t respond to treatment he will
sit out today's game and Luke McCown, the guy who pitifully muses in a Verizon commercial, “I wonder why they save those back-ups
and not just put them in the regular rotation.
I bet if they just had the chance some of those back-ups would really
shine,.” will be under center. It will be McCown’s first NFL
start since 2011.
The Panthers are 2-0 and the Saints are 0-2. While the absence of Brees could give the
Cats a distinct advantage, if Newton plays like he’s the only player on the
field, the Saints could force him to rethink his wonder jock mentality. The Saints’ defense could punish Newton and
stretch their winning record at BOA Stadium to 5-4.
The game will be carried on FOX and kickoff begins at 1:00 PM.
GO PANTHERS!
