Spoiler Alert: 49ers across the board.

 

If we win, all those people are going to talk about how they had Carolina as their sleeper team the whole year.

Nice, back to normal.

[The Huddler]

Kinda like this role.

[Cary Kollins]

Well they were all right about the Redskins winning errrr...

[SpeedOFLight]

At the same time, their picks mean nothing. As for as flying under the radar, this team either has it or don't. I believe they do and we will all see come sunday. I can gurantee this, neither teams are worrying what experts think who will win. They both are going to come out swinging. They both have a lot to play for. I believe this will be an exciting game. it just feels good to have games this late in the season mean something again. Go Panthers!

They all are picking TB. Already whiffed on Wash. baha

[Cary Kollins]

I think this will be as physical a game we play all year.  The 49ers offense has not seen a front 7 this talented, and our front 7 has not seen an Oline this deep.  It's gonna be a lot of fun.

trying to figure out why no one picking us is refreshing.

 

i personally hate that this team flies so far under the radar. i hate that this team has crapped the bed so much for so long that so many have very little faith that this team can be great and beat the best teams. i hate that we earned that.

 

i can't wait for us to win these next two games and the panthers have their coming out party that puts them smack dap on top of that radar. the panthers need to do something that puts the league on notice and  puts the spotlight directly on them. 

 

so you don't want that? only way this team is going to stay under the radar is to disappoint again and go back to their losing ways. 

 

if we keep winning, people are going to expect that to continue...and that's a good thing.

So how do you feel about the o-line we have going on Sunday versus that 9ers D? That is my main concern and why I feel we will probably lose. Have they said if Piggy or Chandler will be starting at RG?

I really don't understand why people think its a "slight" or "disrespect" that people don't pick us to beat San Fran.  If I was picking I would pick the 49ers all day.  We have to travel, they have had a week off, and they are getting back their best defender.  

 

We can absolutely win, 100%.  But if I had to choose what I THINK will happen, I'd take San Fran like 23-13.  I don't think that's disrespectful, I just think we're playing a tough team on the road in the NFL.

I believe that if our beat up oline can do what needs to be done and can at least run block with authority and pass block enough to allow short slants and screens then we can possibly take a couple of shots downfield and open the game up.I would be lying if I said thst Nate.Chandler doesnt have me worried,I know he is athletic and may turn into a decent lineman,but this isn't the game to start a raw player.We have no choice,so We go with what we have.

Just make sure Aldon Smith has arrived at the stadium and parked his car before letting the Panthers team bus leave the hotel.

[UNCrules2187]

Jaws was originally Panthers (as of yesterday) - guess he flip flopped.

[Happy Panther]

Panthers game was the flip flop game on Mike and Mike. Greenberg says we win straight up. Golic says SF covers -6.5
