Who could have predicted

I try to refrain from dwelling on these 'what if' scenarios. They will drive you crazy. Look at it this way: sometimes you can learn more in defeat than in victory.

That back in week 1 a deangelo williams fumble on the seattle 5 yard-line would all but be the difference between who would be the 1st seed and 2nd seed in the NFC. I dont even see that as a bad thing----- i see it as a testament to how far ron rivera and this team has come. That afternoon steve smith said we would beat them in january, funny how that prediction looks more and more true as each week passes

When referring to Seattle that day I think Smitty said that we would 'see them' again in January.....not 'beat them'

Not surprised at all, since a young team with tons of new players, almost defeated one of the superbowl favorite.

I agree.... That Buffalo Bills game stings the most.... They are so bad this year that no one even wants to touch their players in Fantasy Football...

The loss in Buffalo was the best possible outcome that day. That was the moment and catalyst that resulted in the birth of Riverboat Ron and set the pNthers in their quest to the division and playoffs

I believe that a close win there and none of the last 10-1 happens.

Thank you Buffalo

i'm happy we lost those games, I dont believe we would have won 11 games if we didn't. Just my opinion.

True, but I think the winning was implied. Haha!

Yep, smith was right, the hawks won the wrong game
