So I take it you're in town? I looked at the Dome in the way into work yesterday, but I didn't see that pretty scene.
As for the Saints, I suspect that offensive coordinators around the league have adjusted to Gregg Williams' defensive schemes and that defensive coordinators have figured out how to throw off the timing of the Saints' passing offense. The Saints have yet to adjust to those adjustments.
The Rams exposed the Saints' inability to stop the run, and, save for the Patriots, other teams have exploited that weakness ever since. The Redskins seemed to interfere with the rythym of the offense, and the Falcons, Cowboys, and Bucs did too. If a defense can screw up the offensive timing well enough to keep the Saints from scoring many points, that team's running backs can plow through the Saints' D and eat up time (and score points). And whatever happened to basic tackling skills? They appear to be lacking.
Now that I've said all that, pretending to understand the game of football and all, the Saints will stop the Panthers' running game dead in its tracks and and win that game 48-7.
