THE NINERS GAME

[KendrickPanther]

Relax people. We are fans. Nothing we say or do on these message boards affects the actual game (uniforms aside).

[SauceBoss]

let's just hope the team doesn't have this mentality

[carolina-chuck]

I'm ready to beat some Failcons !

[Peppers90 NC]

Cam may have to be on the scout team to prepare for the niners and all the options they run

I'm not interested in discussing the over rated 49ers this week.

[pantherclaw]

The fact that someone would rather discuss the 49ers, rather than a hated division opponent that we play Sunday....well, I'm not going to say any more...it'll just offend the weak minded.

If we can beat the Falcons, play tough in a close loss to the 49ers, and beat the Pats on MNF I'll be ecstatic. I mean, honestly, it might be best for us in the long-run if we do lose to them so long as we handle business against the Pats, Jets, and Dolphins and win the games we're supposed to win to make the playoffs.

 

Reason being that the Seahawks are much tougher to handle at home than the 49ers. IF we make the playoffs I'd much rather head to San Fran after having lost to the 49ers earlier in the year than head to Seattle to play them where they're damn near unbeatable. Playoff re-matches have historically favored us. We beat Dallas and Philly in '03 after losing to them during the regular season and beat the Bears in '05 after losing to them as well.

 

Just saying... a playoff re-match in San Fran after having lost to them next week is a better deal than having to head to Seattle. It could also set up a re-match with Seattle coming to Charlotte as a wild card team if we can somehow manage to oust the Saints and take the division, another scenario that is MUCH more favorable than playing the Hawks in Seattle.

 

But then I'm probably getting WAY ahead of myself here.

i hear ya.  Just very excited about this game.  KInd of reminds me of the feeling that I had as a child where I couldn't wait for Christmas to come.   I see it as our first real test with the new and improved Riverboat Ron :)  Can't wait to see if this franchise has finally turned the corner and is going to be a contender now and in the forseeable future.  The Failcunts aren't going to tell us a whole lot about where we are since they are down right now.  The Niners game will tell us a whole lot.   However,  I certainly hope that the Panthers aren't thinking about the Niners.  While its OK for us fans to discuss this game, it would be a huge mistake for them to look past a wounded and still potentially very dangerous divisional rival.  

i don't know about you but i'd rather lose to the 49ers 100 times than lose the Fail cons one time!  Lets focus on this week!

[SOJA]

let's beat atlanta first and foremost. that being said, paperdick is overrated, shut down gore and put up over 20 points and we should be good

[dugbug]

I know were playing Atlanta this week, and I am not ignoring the Falcons, but

 

Stop. You are ignoring the falcons.

 

[Zaximus]

I would love to beat the 49ers.   Not only because of the obvious win, but I know some 49ers fans I would LOVE to be able to talk crap to.

[Sawyerballer]
