Who will beat the Panthers?
 

I would hate to see them win the SB. They are dominating Seahags 31-0 at halftime right now. I really thought seattle was the only team in the post-season that could beat them. Which team left is the best bet to beat them now?

Re: Who will beat the Panthers?
 

Id say any of Denver,New England or Arizona but the Cards seem to have gone off the boil

Seattle may be coming back!

Re: Who will beat the Panthers?
 

It's their year. A lot of their games were won on flukes or lucky breaks, everything is turning up roses for them.... the ball is just bouncing their way this year and there's really nothing anyone can do. They won that Thanksgiving day game with an early Christmas present of pick 6's from Tony Romo. They've gotten lucky on calls, no-calls, penalties, they've had good luck with injuries and caught their opponents at favorable times, and everything else under the sun. Some players toss the ball after a score and get a flag for excessive celebrating, Cam taunts his opponents and does an hour-long one man Broadway production in the end zone and on the sideline, running all over the stadium after every score, and never gets called for it. It's just their year.

Re: Who will beat the Panthers?
 

The Panthers will beat the Cardinals next week. Carson Palmer is mediocre at best and Carolina's defense will rattle him. Hate to say it, but I think Carolina might be getting their first Lombardi this year.

Re: Who will beat the Panthers?
 

If they get there New England will find a way to scam Cam. Just ask Andy Reid about his headsets which kept cutting out at Gillette Stadium. Riverboat Ron will never imagine the dirty tactics Belichick will pull out of his hat.

Re: Who will beat the Panthers?
 

I've thought for weeks, going back to when they were undefeated, that they'd lose to Seattle or Arizona. Then they lost to the freaking Falcons... The Panthers are not going to luck their way all the way to a championship, in my opinion.

They barely hung on against Seattle today and Arizona is a better team on both sides of the ball then Seattle. I still think they lose to the Cardinals.

Re: Who will beat the Panthers?
 

You beat the Kittens by attacking their safeties down the field. Sure AZ didn't look that great vs GB but I think they were shaking off the rust.

Redbirds will win on Sunday.

Re: Who will beat the Panthers?
 

I want Carolina to win it all.

Re: Who will beat the Panthers?
 

The kittens didn't win as much as the PEDhawks lost the game.

Carolina has replaced the failclowns as my MOST hated team; I will even lower my standards to wanting the Patricheats to win if they play them in the Super Bowl!

Re: Who will beat the Panthers?
 

Look at it this way. History of recent teams with the bigger wins at home.

Last year
Seattle blows out Carolina
Green Bay holds off Dallas

Seattle beats Green Bay

2013
Denver blows out San Diego most of game but wins close at end
NE blows out colts

Denver beats NE

2012
Atlanta blows out Seattle most of game but ends up letting up late, and winning at end.
SF is competitive early with GB but pulls away in second half

SF beats Atlanta

2011
NE blows out Denver
Baltimore barely beats Houston

NE beats Baltimore

Carolina blows out Seattle first half and gets shut out second half but still holds on by 7.
Arizona struggles early with GB but comes on late, takes lead, gets tied, wins in OT.

Those signs would point to Carolina winning.

Now lets compare the opponents beaten in divisional
Last year
Dallas>Carolina.
GB should have beaten Seattle but played too conservative.

2013
San Diego>Indy. It may not have seemed like that but SD at the end was clicking. Indy was having problems without Wayne in games that mattered. Denver beat NE.

2012
GB>Seattle. Seattle was hot but GB's offense forced SF to score. In a way it was even, but SF was better coached and won in Atlanta. As Atlanta tried to lose to Seattle and SF fought to win against GB.

2011
Houston>Denver. But NE destroyed Denver like they should have a team like that and Baltimore barely held on to beat Houston. Of course it was a rematch but so was NE and Denver. NE beat Baltimore barely.

Seattle>GB. GB had problems offensively but did they have a sudden spark in the playoffs or was it matchups? Seattle was playing lights out but we saw in Minnesota and against St.Louis they could be stopped. But their offense was better clicking and defense until then was good as well. It would seem Carolina has the upper hand here.

Now how sb matches up if Carolina gets there.

Based on recent participants

Last year
Seattle wins decisively over Carolina and rallys against GB.
NE wins a rally against Baltimore and blows out Indy.
Baltimore was better than Carolina. GB was better than Indy but NE blew out Indy, who wasn't that much worse. NE won sb.

2013
Seattle won decisively over us, a wild one against SF
Denver won decisively and close late against both SD and NE.

NO and SF were better than SD and NE. Seattle wins sb.

2012
SF beats GB and wins in Atlanta, SF pulls away late against GB and rallys in Atlanta in second half.
Baltimore rallys big in Denver and wins decisively in NE.

Denver and NE were better than GB and Atlanta. Baltimore wins sb.

2011
NYG wins in GB decisively and SF in OT in a close low scoring game.
NE blows out Denver and holds off Baltimore.

NYG won two road games, were more tested. GB was better than Denver by a mile but Baltimore was better than SF. NYG won sb.

So far Carolina had a blowout first half that resulted in a close win late against Seattle. I expect them to win by less than 7 against Arizona if they do. If Denver gets to sb they had a ugly win against a banged up Pittsburgh and might win the same way against NE if they do. And the current Pittsburgh is not better than Seattle. Arizona appears better than NE based on playing Philadelphia. So that helps Carolina's odds. If NE were to win, they held on against a KC rally to win. KC is even with Seattle. They win in Denver it will be close. Denver is not better than Arizona.

It all favors Carolina. I'm gonna be sick.

Re: Who will beat the Panthers?
 

If Carolina wins it all, I'll just consider the silver lining. It would make the Falcons the only team in the division to not have won a Superbowl.

Re: Who will beat the Panthers?
 

I have no problem with Riverboat Ron, they got rid of Steve Smith Sr. who was always a bad rub for Saints fans.
However not a big fan of Jerry Richardson when he mocked Manning and Brees during the players negotiations.
And I can't see myself buying into the Cam Newton Show either.

Re: Who will beat the Panthers?
 

I am still clinging to my predication that the kittens won't win the Super Bowl if they make it that far!

Re: Who will beat the Panthers?
 

Whoever it is, I just want it to be mostly Cam's fault. I want to see him implode and then sit sulking on the sideline while his backup comes in to close out the game. I'm sick of him on every possible level. Never have liked him or had much respect for him, but this year has taken me over the edge. He had a good year, I'll give him that much.. but the constant verbal ejaculate spewing from the mouths of every talking head over his supposed god-like abilities is sickening.. and his on field antics get worse every year.

Arizona, New England, Denver.. doesn't matter to me. Just so someone leaves that f*cktard heartbroken and defeated somewhere along the way, I'll be fine with it.

Re: Who will beat the Panthers?
 

if the Panthers make the Super Bowl, I really don't know if I'll even watch. There's no way I could watch any of the coverage before the game because it would be Scam 24/7 getting all the credit for the team's success

Re: Who will beat the Panthers?
 

The Patriots!!!!

Re: Who will beat the Panthers?
 

I will take FF off next year if Carolina wins the sb. It will be that bad.

Re: Who will beat the Panthers?
 

Hopefully, St Louis, LET'S GO CARDS!!!!
If not, I'm pulling for the AFC.

Re: Who will beat the Panthers?
 

Only the Panthers will beat the Panthers, IMO. I'd like to see the "hooray-for-old-people" team of Carson Palmer/Larry Fitzgerald light 'em up and go on to win the SuperBowl, but IDK, :neutral:.

Re: Who will beat the Panthers?
 

Pats take them, too much experience in that staff. They will find the weaknesses and expose them right when they have to do it. Oh, and they will cheat.

Re: Who will beat the Panthers?
 

"If you ain't cheating, you ain't trying ... " ... say it isn't so, Joe! :lol:
