I'd rather play Green Bay. Here's why:

I'm sure Gettleman remembers this game.  The Giants had a similar team to Carolina back in 2011.  If we erase the game the Packers beat the Joe Webb lead Vikings at home in the 2012 playoffs (seriously that doesn't count - almost as bad as playing Ryan Lindley and the Cardinals), they haven't won a home playoff game since 2007 against Seattle.  Lambeau used to be a place where you knew you were going to lose if you played there in the playoffs.  Now?  Not so bad.  Green Bay has shown to be very beatable there, losing home playoff games in 2013, 2011, and 2007.  Seattle?  Not so much.  

 

Despite matching up better on paper against Seattle, I think the Panthers chances are better against Green Bay.  The cold weather means those timed passing routes are harder to execute, and the Panthers physical defense will make those Packers receivers feel every catch.  I think this could be a huge upset in waiting.  Seattle is the harder opponent IMO.

actually i think there's a good chance the panthers beat either of those teams. we've played both and both have beat us. it's very hard to beat any team twice in the same season. usually the losing team learns enough to get the next game.

The cold weather works to GBs advantage....you are claiming that will hurt them? They are conditioned to it.

Rodgers at home has been the most dominant play by a QB this season at any stadium

Still who has the better playoff record? GB at home or SEA?

Last year Rodgers had just come back from injury and they were playing a clearly better team, were only at home because of winning the North. There team this year is no comparison.

2007 is so long ago, it does not matter here at all.

Rodgers and Co. at home this year is a much better measure of what to expect, and they are scary as hell up there.

Seattle is much more beatable for our current personnel

Yea, I don't buy into these trends spanning back multiple seasons.  Each season is unique.  All that matters is how they've been playing this year, and this year GB seems like a tougher team to beat.  Against Seattle our strengths match up well and it'll be a close game that comes down to the fewest mistakes.  GB's strengths exploit our weaknesses and vice versa.  A game that is more difficult to plan for and more prone to slipping out of control.

      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.
