CHARLOTTE, NC – AUGUST 26: Cam Newton /

So the Saints come in at 3-1 after the bye week for a critical divisional game. The Carolina Panthers come into the dome in front of a raucous crowd. This is where the schedule starts to get a lot tougher. Tight end Greg Olsen will catch a bunch of balls from Cam Newton in this game. The game will be a back and forth affair with Carolina pulling it out late. This loss may be the most disappointing to Who Dat Nation.
