I don't know if the Panthers will make and win the Super Bowl, but it's definitely possible. For every round, here's how ESPN is going to cover our game and the aftermath:

 

Before Niners game: "The 49ers are the best team in the league right now. Jim Harbaugh is such a great coach and they have a much better playoff pedigree than the Panthers. The 49ers will definitely win a physical battle!!"

 

After Niners game: "Let me tell you why the Niners lost.....actually, let's go live to the Jim Harbaugh press conference." 10% of coverage will be about the Panthers

 

Before Seahawks game: "The Seahawks have the best homefield in sports. We saw how the Panthers played in an environment like this when they lost to the Saints in New Orleans. The Seattle defense is the best in the league and they also have more playoff experience than the Panthers. The Seahawks will punch their ticket to New York!!"

 

After Seahawks game: "Let me tell you why the Seahawks lost." 10% of coverage will be about the Panthers

 

Before Super Bowl: "Peyton Manning is the greatest athlete in sports history and maybe the smartest. He will pick this Carolina secondary apart and win the Super Bowl with ease. Prepare for a blowout folks."

 

After Super Bowl: "Peyton Manning flops in yet another playoff game against an inferior team!!" Broncos coverage will dominate the 2 weeks before the game and the aftermath coverage will be nearly 100% about Peyton Manning.

 

 

So if you're mad about ESPN giving this game to the 49ers, just turn the TV off or get over it. With our likely opponents the rest of the way, we're not getting hardly any air time at all.

Meh, I think every team likes the no one believes in us vibe.  So I see it as nothing but a positive.

 

On the flip side, If we are really good then it doesn't matter.

 

We have won 10 of last 11 games, our defense is better than SF(yeah I said it) and our QB is better.

 

TBH the game is not going to be that close.  We beat them by 10.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
