Opinions: Seahawks or Cards more dangerous in playoffs?

Well, no matter what we'd play Seattle at home because our record would be better.  And if by some miracle we lose homefield and have to go to Arizona, I feel like we could beat them.  Seattle would be a tougher game regardless of where it's played, but we are the best team in the league..  Bring em on

I would have said the Seahawks, and I might still say they would give us the most trouble, but they lost a key guy for their rushing attack.  I'm not scared of Arizona outside of John Brown's deep speed.  I believe we will get to Palmer a lot and take out their passing game due to being on his back.  It doesn't matter if we had to travel, but it won't come to that.

I'm surprised this question is being posed as an either / or, because the way things are looking, we may well have to play BOTH.

I'm VERY VERY glad the Seattle game would be in CLT.  And even happier that we beat them in such a good game (i.e. we really won it, there was no let down by Seattle (ok yeah yeah, there was the blown coverage on the Olsen TD..., but Cam made the play) and no fluke on which the game was won, we came back and EARNED that win.) in Seattle earlier this year.  That's HUGE for our team's confidence. 

It doesn't hurt either that we beat Arizona last year in the playoffs.  Of course, no Carson Palmer then.  But still we held them to that ridiculously low total on offense.  Anyway, it should give us confidence that we can win.  I'm glad we had such a shoot out from Drew Brees & the Saints last week.  It's huge that we showed we can keep up and win in an offensive shoot out against a stellar QB.  Not something we've usually been known for.  This season we've got the confidence to win, even if AZ is playing their best.

both the Cardinals and Seahawks have great team chemistry and confidence...something we have...but that is what makes them dangerous...both Arizona and Seattle see themselves beating us...are not intimidated by us...and therefore are going to be tough games..

of course if we continue to play at the level we are...and get a crowd like we did yesterday (loud) I am sure we will handle either one

Agree that both teams have chemistry & confidence and will be tough to beat.  In some ways I really welcome the challenge.  Wouldn't it be something if we win the SB having played Seattle, AZ and NE.  No one could then write off our win as due to a "soft schedule".  Let's go out there and beat the best!

Love what you wrote PantherJack about the crowd.  I've not been at a game in person yet.  I'll be there on Jan 3.  But even just by watching the games via internet here in Africa, I can see the difference in how the crowd is engaged and LOUD.  The Keep Pounding chants are incredible and the energy in the stadium really is noticeable.  Can't wait to be a part of it!

Seahawks, easily. They're hitting on all cylinders right now and have playoff experience to help them.

They lost Rawls for the year.  Now that teams, non garbage Clausen led worst in the NFL Ravens teams, can gameplan for that attack? They aren't as scary as they were appearing to become.

      TBH, these are the kind of players that get weeded out of professional sports pretty quickly. Also, CMC is not that guy. There is zero indication that he isn't competitive.

      Teddy Checkdown in trouble

      I like the free agency. It actually helps basically all schools across the board. Pretty much only ancient HC's and/or HC's that haven't been able to adjust have been complaining about the free agency. Your fortunes can be made or broken every offseason. It's not like before where a bad recruiting class or two meant multiyear purgatory.  I will never understand all the bellyaching about the NIL. If you want to talk about what ruined college athletics, it has been naked greed. Conference expansions for TV revenue, ever skyrocketing AD and facilities costs and now the attempts to permanently ruin the postseasons(football and basketball).  All the kids did was get a very well deserved piece of a very, very, VERY broken pie.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Nobody is saying they don't count against the cap, because yes, they technically do count against the cap as it's money the team is paying and it needs to be accounted for. But what you're not grasping it seems is that if a player gets $10 million guaranteed in their contract, whether they get literally $0 as a signing bonus or $8 million as a signing bonus, it doesn't change the overall cap hit of the contract, because cap hits are about the guaranteed money, not how much is paid up front. The only thing that how much is paid up front changes, is how the cap hit can be spread out amongst the years. So yes, technically there could end up being a slightly bigger cap hit in year 3 and 4 due to a bigger signing bonus, but if that is the case, it also means there will be a lesser cap hit in years 1 and 2 than there would have been with a smaller bonus.  But over the length of the contract, the size of the signing bonus has literally zero affect on the overall cap hit of the contract, because THAT part of it is 100% about the guaranteed money and nothing else.
