The Saints, not surprisingly, beat the Carolina Panthers on New Year’s Day 45-17. That said, there is much about which to to be optimistic.
It was a crazy NFL Sunday. The craziest one so far in 2011. Even Tebow lost.

The Panthers were the better team this Sunday, routing the Bucs 38-19. Tampa Bay wore their throwback “Dreamsicle Swashbuckler” uniforms from the ’70’s. You would think that they would have learned their lesson from those forgettable days in Bucs history when they wore those awful unis.

If the Colts were to be 15 and 1 this season, Carolina did not want the “and 1” to be the Panthers.
The last time these two teams played 3 years ago, the Panthers (2-7) dominated the hapless Lions. This years’ Lions (6-3) team is for real, though. In fact, I’ll say something I never thought I’d say. This may be a preview of an NFC Championship one day. One day soon.
The bye last week gave Panthers fans time to build up their hopes only to be disappointed as the Tennessee Titans crushed them 30-3. Indeed this was an opportunity for the Panthers, since the Titans had been struggling of late. Even Vegas had the Panthers as favorites in this game.
