Official Panthers - 49ers Playoff Gameday Thread


Zod

Recommended Posts

The day has arrived!

 

Today the Carolina Panthers host the San Francisco 49ers in their first playoff game since the 2008 season. They face a tough San Francisco team, the winner moves on to Seattle.

 

When: 1:00

 

TV: FOX

 

Radio: 1110WBT

 

Twitter: Follow @CarolinaHuddle for tweets from the sidelines starting at noon.

 

Keys to a Panthers Victory:

 

- Brandon Lafell must show up. We will need a tall possession receiver today against the physical San Fran defense.

- Contain Kaepernick in the pocket. His legs are more dangerous in keeping plays alive than his mediocre passing ability.

- Defensive points. If the defense can score or at least give the Panthers the ball inside the ten, we win.

 

 

Prediction

 

Niners - 13

Panthers - 24

    • Fowler: Bucs 23, Panthers 16. Baker Mayfield only won a single game when he was an unimpressive Carolina starter, but somehow he’s 5-0 when playing AGAINST the Panthers. For the Panthers to pull off this upset, they’ll need to score at least in the mid-20s. With Tampa Bay relatively healthy following a mini-bye (and Mike Evans’ return is huge), it feels like this will be too tough a task. Kaye: Bucs 24, Panthers 20. The win-loss-win-loss streak comes to an end. It’s hard to trust the play-calling following the loss to the New Orleans Saints. The Panthers know what’s on the line, but they also knew last week, too. It’ll be close; I just have trouble trusting a positive outcome after a defeating one on the road. Zietlow: Panthers 38, Bucs 35. This prediction goes against conventional wisdom, but then again, conventional wisdom doesn’t seem to apply to these Panthers. This group, after all, has yet to lose back-to-back contests since Weeks 1 and 2. I think they win this one to make Week 18 interesting — and yes, that’s even with motivated Baker Mayfield and future Hall of Famer Mike Evans in good form. Why not?
    • Sam developed into a different player after he mostly sat for a year and learned a ton by being in that QB room under Shannahan in San Francisco.  Then he went to the Vikings who have a poo load of talent and another genius level offensive mind at HC in Kevin O Connel. I think they genuinely built up his confidence in a way he never did in New York or Charlotte.  He would not have been the same player if he stayed here IMO. Especially if he had been involved in that disaster season with Frank Reich in 2023, that might have cooked his confidence for good.  I guess you could argue we wouldn't have been that bad if we also kept cmc and dj i guess. 
    • Willis was impressive last night given the circumstances. GB and SF seem to just have it figured out as far as QB goes.   It's frustrating, but I enjoy seeing our old players find success elsewhere.
