Is this the biggest game of the past couple of seasons?

I mean, I felt like last week was pretty damn important. Can’t lose twice to the Bucs in one season and go to 3-3. Lost to the 49ers and go to 4-3, well it’s not the end of the world. In terms of making a statement as a legit NFC contender, yes this week is a big damn deal.

It's a pretty huge game. I think London was actually more truly make or break in terms of playoff leverage, though I haven't seen this week's leverage % chart. Certainly the fact that most of the teams above us have very easy games this week adds a lot of pressure to win to keep pace.

This week is huge though too in terms of the quality of the opponent (though who they've played could make that a bit deceiving) and what it could do for Panthers confidence and the attention it brings.

The 2013 wins vs SF and NE come to mind as does the 2015 win at Seattle.

It does have a lot of echoes of last year at Pittsburgh too. So, while I want a W, above all I just desperately hope for a respectable close game and no serious injuries.

Yes

it is a nfc conference game. Panthers have lost a division game and a conference game. In a tie break situation, even for a wild card position, this game is huge

49ers coach did pretty good against Ron’s 4 3 in the past. Let’s see how he does this year with Ron’s tweaked defense

....then Ron’s tendency to go into a shell with a lead 

offensively, conservative on first down won’t work in this game. 

do I think the 49ers are over rated, maybe but as per Parcells ‘you are what your record says you are’

looking forward to this to see who the Panthers are

    • It’s wild to me that so many of you guys are threatened by the idea of an opposing team fan who is polite in 2025. He’s been posting here on and off for years, usually when our teams play each other which hasn’t been for a while. I’d maybe understand this treatment if it was a falcons or saints fan, but packers fans in general are one of the nicer fan bases as long as you aren’t another NFC north team (especially the bears).   
    • Some players excel on the big stage, while others freeze and succumb to the pressure. I’m not convinced Cam took a dive. I think he didn’t handle the stage very well. The pressure got to him and he folded. He wouldn’t be the first quarterback or player to struggle in a Super Bowl. Two HOF examples - John Elway and Jim Kelly. The 2002 MVP, Rich Gannon, threw 5 interceptions against the Bucs. Poor performances happen.  Unless of course you believe all these players threw the games they played in, but if that occurred, surely someone by now would have admitted taking a dive? 🤷‍♂️
    • It was always a matter of time with Cam’s playing style and a shorter shelf life than passers that protect themselves. I suppose Cam could have still been playing in 2028 ten years after the hit took place, but he would need to have evolved as a quarterback and become more of a passer than the dual threat maestro he was. It’s sad because it makes us think of what could have been, but I do feel it was always a matter of time until all the hits took their toll.
