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.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Lions were never going Freeling over Miller for the same reason we wouldn't have taken Miller had Freeling not been on the board. Miller is a career RT Lions have a hole at RT, we have a hole at LT. If we took Miller, it would have been for him to backup Moton until he retires and/or we release him, so the best case scenario is it would have been a wasted 1st round pick for at least 1, if not 2 years.  At least Freeling has a shot at playing this year without injury ahead of him, he absolutely can win the LT job if he earns it, but Miller would have never supplanted Moton this year unless he got hurt.

      The Carolina Huddle

      By Chaos · Posted

      What up y’all. I like threads like this where we can stroll down memory lane. I remember the insane amount of site traffic pre-crash when we signed Keyshawn Johnson, 06 I believe. Raging about the Cowboys Christmas Eve loss in 05 (Peppers touched that FG attempt as sure as Cotchery caught it). When I found the huddle I basically had a first born baby, now I’ve got one in college and one in high school. Life comes at you fast, but the Panthers and the Huddle has been a steady constant in my life for many years.  Those who have been here, y’all are cool with me any time any where.    Cheers, genitals!

      Where panthers draft ranked against Big Boards in 2023

      By MartyClemons · Posted

      This is a weird post since it wasn’t like we got A’s across the board. We needed a QB and got a consensus top 2 player at that position. (I was pretty vocal that Stroud should’ve been the guy but…)  I think this draft we generally got better value. I’m not particularly optimistic on BY but another year in this offense playing with TMac he really needs to be a consistently average QB at a minimum
