Thing is, against Seattle we match up better with them than any other team in the NFC. Their defense is built to stop the pass and our offense is built around the run. Their offense is built completely around the run and ours is built to stop the run and apply pressure on the QB. Fortunately Norman and Bene have been showing out so I'm not worried about them throwing on us at all. And Luke and TD have Marshawn's number every time we play him so I'm not worried about him. And I think we have the ability to stop Wilson from running. Everyone thinks we'd get blown out by Seattle if we play them but that just won't happen. It will end up being close and it'll come down to just a few plays. We were so damn close to beating them earlier this year but our o-line fell apart and our D fell apart for just 1 series. We'll have troubles scoring on them but if we can get Stew going and open things up for Olsen (they have troubles stopping TEs) then I think we could put up enough points to win the game. If we can get past the Cardinals and if the Cowboys win then the Panthers-Seahawks matchup would have the makings of one of the best playoff games in a while.

Our front four has got to bring it this week, I think that's what will make all the difference.  Star and Short busting up the middle and CJ, Ealy, and the boys collapsing the edges.  Sets up Luke to dominate the middle of the field TD to headhunt.  I want to crush the Cardinals like nobody's business - never forget Arizona!

Opinions are opinions. I honestly think if we win this weekend, it will be one hell of a game if we play Seattle. I had a family member text me yesterday and said,"Panthers vs Cowboys NFC championship." Hey, it can happen :)

Too early to tell but I hope your family member is correct on this. Panthers beat the America's team could be real great lol.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
