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.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
