NFC Championship

[Banjo]

Seattle seems unstoppable at home. Unstoppable. It's hard not to see them in the Super Bowl right now

[Car123]

I question a lot of you all.

[MadHatter]

last time we were in NFC championship, it was in Seattle and didn't go so well.

Being down to your 4th string RB will do that to you. We called him up from the practice squad.

Nick Goings went out with a concussion and we played most if the game with Jamal Robertson as our RB.

[Awesomeness!!]

What a poo fest that was.

Jake played just as bad as he did against Arizona. We got blasted from the start. The key to winning a game in Seattle is controlling the ball/clock. The good news is we are really good at going on 7-8-9-10 play drives eating time off of the clock and taking the crowd out of the game. The same wasn't true in 2005.

I was on the Hawks board and there were quite a few posters giving us respect. They said the two teams they did not want to see in the playoffs was the Eagles and us,

Eagles because their unique offense could be hard to prepare for.

Us because we are a well balanced team with a very good QB and is very physical. Much like them . They said the last two games agai at us could have gone either way and showed tees two teams are very similar,

Have to be able to run the ball...helps many things.

 

No turnovers. 

 

No Drops.

 

No stupidness.

 

Defense front 7 making up fro the back end...smart hard football and Panthers can win against NO and Seattle.

 

QBs don't like to be hit be it Brees or Wilson or Newton.  Our Oline has to do the job as does the DLine.

 

these are obvious things but the Panthers are talent deficient in spots they have to make up for it in other ways.

And this time we won't have Nick Goings get knocked out!  We'll have Tolbert knocking bitches out instead!

[SpeedOFLight]

If we make it to end of facing them, I have no worries. Yes they have a good team but so do we. Let's not sale ourselves short. I believe in this team. I remember how hard people were saying it was to beat the Rams on turf and we pretty much dominated them the whole game during our Superbowl run (yes we let them slip back in). The game still has to be played. We have a stout D, a stable of running backs and don't forget that we have Cam who can make things happen if plays break down. In the perfect scenerio though, I would want us to win the south and beat whoever in the divisional round and hope that someone picks off Seattle. Could you imagine a NFC champion game in charlotte? Now that would be nuts and believe it or not, it can happen.

Two places I don't think we can win: Seattle and Nawlins.

1-3 Panthers are not the 9 - 3 Panthers, the sea chickens should be the one worried.

The Saints just aren't that physical of a team. They struggle with more physcal teams, which is a large reason they lost to the Jets

 

Hopefully they will do the same going to STL in 2 weeks

I guarantee the Panthers are the LAST team they want to see in the playoffs.

First off, I would love to face them again because it would mean we were well into the playoffs or in the championship game.

 

But, anyone who would not worry about playing in Seattle is an ill informed fan.  Wilson played an incredible game last night.  He was mobile and incredibly accurate on every kind of throw imaginable.  Sorry, but Cam is mobile for sure, but does not yet possess the touch that Wilson exhibited last night.  We did well when he was in Charlotte to keep him in the pocket and squeeze him and not let him loose.  We will have to duplicate that in Seattle if we plan on winning.  Our run game will be key so I would expect them to concentrate on shutting it down just lke the last couple of teams did, but they eventually lost.

 

I would say that Carroll will make Cam beat him with his arm.  This can be feast or famine for us.  We will see.  Our D will keep us in the game, but we will have to survive a huge adrenaline rush from Seattle to begin the game.  It will set the tone.  Will be what playoff games are supposed to be and have everyones heart in their throat.  Look forward to having another crack at them but am not completely confident we will walk over them as others are.
