Bad weather would be a HUGE advantage this weekend.

Not only does this years team have a lot of practice with that as we played in a bunch of bad weather games, but it would take away any advantages the Cards have with their WRs vs our DBs

Bring on the snow and/or rain, please......

Welcome to the Carolina's in January.

Sometimes this happens in late Nov. through December. Always January and February. Cold wet icy soil. Makes for some old school football, and speed teams will suffer. This is big boy football. Leave your track spikes at home.

Conditions that fluctuate between 30 to 40 degrees in snow/rain conditions is what causes the soft turf. The lower layer of soil tends to stay frozen while the upper layer thaws causing the grass to give in the thawed layer and not the frozen layer below. This also leads to the top layer of soil becoming more saturated with water. Then if the temperatures drop a few degrees into freezing the upper layer of soil becomes slick and icy.

I do not think any other team in the league is in an area that has turf conditions like the Carolinas in the winter (maybe Tennessee). The Panthers practice outside on a field with those conditions.

Home field advantage!

      They will be if they extend Young but I don't think we're there just yet. Morgan and Canales are tied and I don't believe Tepper is going to go look for a new front office for Bryce as things stand.

      I was playing around with the ESPN playoff predictor and it shows if 49ers and Rams finish with same record, the Rams hold the tiebreaker.

      This is my thinking as well. Seattle played as good as they could on defense and Panthers still had a chance until those back to back turnovers.  I don't think the Rams played particularly well in their game against us, alot things went our way in order to win.  Someone pointed out the Rams were bad on the east coast road games and Seattle has been the better road team but they just fought a hard contested game against the Panthers, and now they travel to San Fran this week for their biggest game of the season to determine the division and if they are the overall #1 seed in the NFC or will be traveling for the Wildcard weekend.  If they lose they then travel back cross the country to play a team they've just beaten two weeks ago, not saying they won't be favored against the Panthers but the energy of hosting our first playoff game in 10 years along with the get back effect of having just lost to this team could be huge.
