All this turf talk is nonsense.

Home Field Advantage.  The Seahawks have the advantage of Crowd Noise being artificially pumped into the stadium....our's is wet grass.  Fug all these clowns.

Was playing some tackle football today with friends at a shitty elementary school field, wore cleats, wasn't slipping at all. Ground was still wet too. if I can do it, so can the professionals.

So Carroll was complaining that his guys were slipping all over the place in pregame right?  Well conditions certainly did not get worse in between warmups and kickoff, so his players should have been smart enough to go ahead and switch cleats if they felt the field was going to be an issue.

Panthers players weren't slipping around, so stop whining Seahawks.  One could argue that turf teams have a decided advantage at home when playing against teams like the Panthers that primarily play on grass.  I've never heard our guys complaining about it.

If you don't like the start time and don't like the playing surface - try winning more games in the regular season so you can play at home.  You were the 6 seed and you barely escaped the first round when Minnesota's kicker missed a chip shot.  Deal with it.

Some Seahawks players admitted Pete Carroll told them to change their cleats during pre-game warm ups, but they didn't do it until they started losing their footing during the first half.

Seattle scored 24 consecutive points in the second half so obviously field conditions weren't the issue.

But don't ya know, that's why Baldwin wasn't his usual speedy self ................ ugh

Cardinals play on real grass too although they roll theirs into the dome lol. So maybe this is the last we'll hear of it.

fug Seattle and fug their encyclopedia of excuses. Not being personal but they don't matter anymore. We played them twice this year; we beat them twice. What matters right now is the task at hand: the NFC Championship and beating the Cardinals. If the Panthers fail, they don't matter. If they win, then the Cardinals don't matter.

The turf was sh*t and it was pretty clear everyone was slipping all over the place. With that said, I think if I'm Carolina I don't have my grounds crew work on it at all this week and keep it the same way for Arizona.

What do you guys think?

Agree...If Panthers wanted a perfectly sodded and dry field they could have made it happen. This is the advantage of having home field. Keep Pounding!!!
