NFC Championship

I feel like we are going to be facing Seattle in Seattle come January

 

We match well with them

1. front seven is fast physical and can get to the qb

2. we have a run game and we need consistency from it

3. We have Cam Newton

 

D needs to keep it close and Cam needs to take over the game

We coulda/woulda/shoulda won the last two if not for Cam's poor throw last year, and DeAngelo's fumble/Olsen's drops/Beason's missed tackle this year. In 2005 we were playing our 4th straight road game with no RB and were beat up coming off a physical game on Sunday against the Bears, while they had the bye and a Saturday game against the Redskins.

I simply don't view their venue as more intimidating as St Louis or Philly were in 2003. Road teams are winning a lot of big playoff games in recent years against great teams in hostile venues. They've won no more than we have as a franchise in over twice the time in the league and we owe them. Not scared.

The absolute key to taking away their crowd is....

Our long, time chewing drives where we finish with 7 points and a quick 3 and out for our Defense.

Let's just put up a bunch of points early and force the sea chickens to kick field goals all night.

This can be done.

    • I read that Pittsburgh is a possibility.  I think of college QB studs who had some form of mental quirk yet tons of talent--but their issue made being a team leader difficult and it led to their demise--going back:  Jamarcus Russell, Art Schlichter, Jeff George, etc. I think people forget that the QB must not only have talent, but they must lead.  
    • I wish I knew more details, but the NIL money to 20-year olds combined with easy access to gambling sites is a side effect that these kids may not have considered.  To your point,A famous 2009 Sports Illustrated article titled “How (and Why) Athletes Go Broke” estimated that 78% of retired NFL players go bankrupt or face significant financial stress within two years of leaving the league.  I am guessing that ego and $$$ and the thrill of competition (most pro athletes love competition because they are the winners) makes it a powerful temptation.  Throw in the ease of gambling on your phone which is always in your hand, and I see your point x 10.
    • Freeling got some reps at RT when they gave Moton a rest day--I sorta hope Freeling gets brought along slowly as you describe.  It would be better for him for reasons you provide.  We have a really good problem.
