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

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      By TD alt · Posted

      Two things: 1. Dr. Eric Eager is central to the draft process 2. I know that it was edited, but we didn't hear "Thieneman" one time, not even before the Vikings pick.

      Why would he sign here as a guard when surely someone would sign him as a tackle?  Assuming he is healthy

      Went back to watching the highlights. With a sober mind haha. Here is what I saw.    freddie needs to make 1 of those but the rest aren’t on him.    Slavin was BBBBAAAD again last night. Not sure what is going on with these game one Slavin gafs.    miller was ok but had his worst game in the playoffs so far.    nikishin was no good. His his awful turnover led to the first goal at the end of the first period that just can’t happen. ghost was beat like a drum multiple times last night, including the go-ahead goal at the end jarivs wont shoot. He is either hurt or he is struggling mentally and I think it could be a combination of both. He passed up a wide open net on the power-play only to pass it to no one and cleared it himself.     Svech played well. He is getting zero help on that line.    aho. Worst game as a pro. I mean that. He won’t shoot it, passes go to no one and turns it over repeatedly.  He did exactly what they did against Montreal game one when Miller had a turnover. Aho left his man to go help and left the golden Knight player wide open in front of Freddie.  If I was Rod, you Tell Aho when that thing hits your stick you fire it  someone needs to sit him down just him in a room and ask what’s going on. He seems soft, timid and has zero fire.   canes could have won that game   There isn’t a gap between these two teams  they are dead even   Carter Hart’s gonna get lit up in this series. We can beat that guy. the consensus last night was our defense played horrible and our stars won’t score.  clean the defense up. Tell the top line to shoot it everything and we’ll win tomorrow night.   Possibly convincingly.
