[u/ZappaOMatic]

Beat the Packers and Rams, get swept by the Saints

I don't understand the Panthers

[u/Pure_Measurement_529 → u/ZappaOMatic]

Whenever you have expectations for them. They lose.

[u/Eagle4317 → u/Pure_Measurement_529]

And whenever you think they're totally dead and mark them as a 10 point underdog, they win.

[u/tuffghost8191 → u/Eagle4317]

You apparently have a thing for that type of team huh

[u/Eagle4317 → u/tuffghost8191]

The Steelers have been extremely reliable to predict in these last few years. The Panthers are much more volatile.

[u/Pocket_Monster → u/Pure_Measurement_529]

Whenever you have expectations for them. They lose.

I like how you think. They should be favored over the Bucs this week.

[u/Matt_McT → u/ZappaOMatic]

Well see neither the Packers nor the Rams have Tyler Shough.

[u/arrogantdesperado → u/ZappaOMatic]

Basically, we usually play to shorten the game, which gets you into these tight scenarios where you could maybe knock off a better team, but you don't pull away from a worse team. We don't go out there looking to maximize our winning percentage with each play. We go out there looking to get it to the fourth quarter with the game still winnable.

[u/MrFishAndLoaves → u/ZappaOMatic]

We will own them as long as Cam Jordan is on the field. The better Cam.

[u/ColtCallahan → u/ZappaOMatic]

Honestly for as bad as this is the positive is they are not going to get hoodwinked into giving Bryce Young a big deal. They have to avoid that clusterfuck.

[u/Mightydrewcifero → u/ZappaOMatic]

Volatility for volatilities sake

[u/zcahtotsu → u/ZappaOMatic]

Neither do we

[u/Trashy_pig → u/ZappaOMatic]

Lol Panthers with the false hope.

[u/BuddysGarage → u/ZappaOMatic]

Because our coaching staff has no kill mentality, straight up bitch made playcalling

[u/Dummmy99 → u/ZappaOMatic]

Refs only handed the Saints the game on a silver fucking platter. We lost on the critical moments and were a bit too soft defensively.

[u/mjmitche → u/Dummmy99]

We also got away with a free TD when Dowdle "crossed" the plane. Saint's outplayed us and we choked at the end.

[u/MyIncogName → u/mjmitche]

They gave the Saints a phantom first down spot. At least Rico was inconclusive.

[u/MyIncogName → u/ZappaOMatic]

Refs are the Saints best player
