Panthers coach, "I hope we don't have to play them"

I agree this team is totally different than 09. Looking back on the 09 team we caught some breaks along the way. Don't get me wrong, we got what we deserved, The Lombardi and I am proud as hell of them. But if Favre doesn't do what he did best, throw when he doesn't need to to the opposing team, we don't even get to the Super Bowl. During that 13 game winning streak we won a few games we had no business winning. That 09 team gathered itself just in time in the playoffs and did what it had to do. The difference between then and now is the 09 team peaked early. We peaked on Monday night against New England in 09. This team is peaking right now. I think this year's team is a lot better than 09. Yes, we could stumble in the playoffs and not make it. Any team could. But if we keep playing like we are now, then the Bensens need to start dusting off the space in the trophy case for Lombardi No. 2. TWO-DAT!!!!!!

Yep, anything can happen. There are numerous teams that can beat us if we slip.

But if we play our A-game, there isn't a team in the playoffs that can beat us.

Our A-game > All 11 playoff teams

A good running game, Drew hitting receivers, the O line blocking and the D coming up with a few more turnovers.
The team is playing at a good level right now.
Let's not overlook the Lions, young team that plays with a lot of emotion and pretty fast Linebackers.
