an angry Steve Smith insists the panthers are still going to make the playoffs (and beat seattle)

"I stand on this: I think we're going to see them again deep in January," Smith said as he looked for a positive in the loss. "If we continue to play like we're playing, eliminate some of the penalties, eliminate some of the mistakes ... for us to have played that team that is considered by all accounts the best team in the NFL -- according to Skip Bayless, the best AFC team around. ... If that's the best team, we came down to the [final minutes] and it was a well-fought game."

 

"Our season is not over," Smith said. "If that means the season is over I'm not sure what kind of football y'all are used to around here. That's not a quitting team."

Asked a few minutes later if Carolina was a playoff team, Smith barked, "I didn't stutter. There was no slur in my speech."

Smith's comment was in reference to ESPN's Bayless mistakenly referring to the NFC West Seahawks as an AFC team on Twitter last month.

"Everybody, let's not panic,'' [Cam] Newton said. "We're going to be all right."

[Cary Kollins]

Smith on "the drive"...said he doesn't hear the UHaul truck coming to pick up these coaches like other panther coaches in the past.

Says thing are different now than they have been in the past. We shall see.
