See, I told you back in August. Superbowl is in sight!

[top dawg]

Not trying to toot my own horn (well, maybe a little bit), but I was the first to go on record on the forum to say that the Panthers would be in the dance this year. I still believe this to be true. The only thing that can stop us is injury. When we play up to our level and talent and ability---with the consistency, focus, determination, and expectation of excellence on every single play---we are the team to beat. When the coaches coach---keeping the principles of fundamental football in their mind, but not afraid to make appropriate game-specific changes to their game plans when warranted---we do nothing but win. I have been telling you all season long to believe. You're starting to believe now, aren't you? It is OK to believe.

Just Believe! All of the components are there! We have an exciting defense that may give up big plays from time to time, but overall is fundamentally sound and makes big plays. Beason and Peppers lead an extremely young and talented defense. Delhomme has been an amazingly smart game manager and field general. We have D-Wheel and J-Bird (who roll and fly over the competition). We have the two toughest receivers in football, who are arguably the best tandem of receivers in football in the mighty Steve Smith and the venerable Muhsin Muhammad. And, we have a very strong supporting cast of TEs, RB and WR #3s. And, lastly, we have acquired a beast on an extremely tough O-line.

The pieces are in place. The execution and motivation are obviously peaking at the right time. The Super Bowl is ours for the taking.

Your ability to analyze an NFL team is unparalleled.

I still find it a bit scary how we are going into Sunday's game playing for the #1 seed but still have the possibility of not even making the playoffs.

Gloating before the playoffs is smart.

I like your enthusiasm....but I bet Dallas fans were saying the same thing last year.

i agree, plus claiming that you called a SB run back in august is stupid, no offense to you. almost every fan has hopes of making it to the super bowl, and the more homeristic ones "call" it. all this proves is that you sir are a big homer

That was like listenting to Joel Osteen give a pre-game pep talk.

Good for you. Like the rest of the fuging million that said it your right. Way to be the prize pony at the glue factory.

I seem to recall quite a few Super Bowl predictions in April, so you being the first on record with an August prediction is pretty silly...

[Kurb]

I didn't know we were even in the Playoffs yet.
