So who would we rather face? Arizona or Minn?

If Philly wins @ Minnesota, they will probably beat the Giants which means if we beat Arizona we get to host NFCCG.

On the other hand, we match up better against Minnesota. I don't think we can hang with Arizona's WR corps. Our chances of making the NFCCG are not as good against them.

What say you?!

Arizona

1. they won't be able to hang with the time change, temperature, physicality of the Panthers, etc.

2. that means the Eagles beat the Vikings, and Philly is the only team I see knocking the g-men off for us just because of the familiarity.

ideal situation would be philly @ carolina in the NFCCG, which would get a lot of hype, being a rematch of 2004 (2003 season) with home field flipped.

We need Philly to win so they can beat the hell out of NYG and we get home field advantage throughout the playoffs...

I dont think we really matchup all that well with Minnesota. They can stop or atleast slow down our running game and with Peterson they can take advantage of our weaness at run stopping.

Arizona IMO doesnt have the defence to keep our passing or running game in check. They also dont have much to take advatage of our runstopping weakenss. That being said they fought us close at our house.

You can come up with good reasons why every team out there matches up well against the Panthers. The Vikings stop the run and run well, and Arizona just stuffed Turner and can score from anywhere on the field. The Eagles have a great defense and the Giants can run all over you.

The Panthers hit you with one of the most balanced offensive attacks you're going to find. Play like Denver and shut down our run, and Smitty will hurt you bad. Double cover Smith and Williams will go wild. Remember when the Giants were thought to be good against the run?

On defense we have a great starting 11. Until Kemo went down our run defense was stout, and he's back now. New York got most of their running yards against third string defensive tackles, even without Kemo we were controlling them for most of the game. We have a great back seven, and if the front four get ANY pressure our pass defense is one of the leagues best.

So I don't really give a damn who we end up facing. Worrying about matchups is something the other team is going to have to do, we just want someone to show up in visitor uniforms so we can put the hurt on.

This is exactly how I was thinking about it... I'd love for us to have home field for the NFCCG and this is the best scenario for that.

Also, Cyberjag has a good point because the games are what they are, and in the end we'll just have to play who we draw and beat them... but at least this way I'll have a reason to watch the other games and root for a specific team.

I am more worried about AZ than Minn, but I think we will be ready for whichever team we play (at home). And, Boldin did pull a hamstring and he is really banged up right now. He did not play at all in the second half. AZs defense won that game. Without all the sacks and that defensive touchdown the Fowlcunts won have won.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
