Saints vs Panthers Recap: Moving Along, Nothing to See Here
Have you ever been to a movie and:
a) fell asleep
b) watched most of it with your fingers covering your eyes
c) found yourself wondering just when, oh when it would end and put you out of your misery
d) all of the above
Saints vs Panthers: We’re Halfway There…Whoa-oh…Livin’ on a Prayer!
Remember when we used to wear brown paper bags to cover our heads? This year, I’m using them to breathe into. It’s become painfully clear that being perfect ain’t easy.
Midway through the season, the Saints are undefeated but it wouldn’t be the Saints without bringing a little heart-attack inducing drama to the table. For the third week in a row, our boys in black and gold pulled off a dramatic come from behind victory. This time, it was those Cardiac Cats, aka the Carolina Panthers, giving us Saints fans a reason to reach for the blood pressure medication. And in keeping with tradition, it was the defense that helped to solidify the win. An ugly win, yes, but a win nonetheless.
Saints vs. Panthers: Who are the real “Fraidy Cats?”
When you gave the Saints schedule a glance before the season started, which games did you circle as, you know, “the scary games”? Eagles? Sure. Giants? Definitely! Falcons? But of course. Panthers? Always! We survived the first three of that group unscathed. But the fact that Carolina’s team is 3-4 and we’ll face them as one of two unbeatens in the league only makes this Sunday’s match-up even scarier. We’ve got a bulls eye on our back people!
What the F-ck….
There comes a point in every Saints fans life where you just have to throw your hands up to the football gods and with a Risky Business-esque sincerity inquire “What the f-ck?” For Nola Chick, that point came just as the pigskin hit the dome turf with zero seconds left on the clock against the Panthers. You see for once, I was witnessing a Saints game where fans had a chance to walk out of the dome with their heads held high in a second line strut, even if the team loss. All we needed was the Drew Brees passing record, the crowning glory atop an otherwise dismal and forgettable season. And you know what, those bastards couldn’t even give us that.
Game 7: The Kitty Litter Hits the Fans
Here’s the bad news. The Saints just got their asses handed to them by the Panthers in a game that could have tied them for first in the NFC South. Here’s the worse news: The loss means I now have to to come up with 10 reason why I love the Panthers to make good on my bet with the Cat Crave blog…and I can’t be sarcastic or show even a tenth of my asshole-ish ways. Here’s the worst news: Reggie Bush will be out for the next three to four weeks to undergo arthroscopic surgery on his left knee. That means we could face the Chargers, Chiefs, and Falcons without him. Hey, but at least they cut Steve Weatherford. That outta do it, huh? Ugh…
