Hilarious post on Hawks message board...

After watching Detroit play, I'm happy we are getting the Cats. That doesn't mean I don't think we wouldn't beat Detroit, because I do. I just think it's going to be a lot easier match up and hopefully less risk of injury. Dallas and Greenbay are also forced to beat each other up now.

 

 

I'm not sure how it's going to be "easier" to beat Carolina but hey, let those rain soaked West coast idgets dream. This team is way past due for a win against Pete and Co, and with the way our defense has dominated the last month+ there is no reason to doubt that we can go on the road and win.

 

On a side note, it seems that Seattle is already favored by 10.5...

Speak softly and carry a big Qb.

[ThPantherFan]

Of course they are favored.  That's to our advantage.  Will be a great game.

I can't find aine anywhere

[Mother Grabber]

there's a reason they are favored...just like we were favored this weekend.

10.5 pt favorites for an NFC south vs NFC west divisional playoff game where the home team is the clear favorite. Now where have I seen that line before???

My favorite post on that board? 

 

 

 

I would rather play Carolina and then either Green Bay or Dallas than play Detroit and then either Green Bay or Carolina (since we all know that game will go one way). The Carolina game is basically a bye for the opponent, I'd much rather we got it than Green Bay.

So for tonight, go... Cowboys?

I look at it this way: no one even thought we'd make it this far, we have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

 

Only way we gain respect is to beat it into them.

 

We just so happen to have a physical offense and probably an even more physical defense.

 

We ain't the Colts.

Being favored is one thing. The majority of their fans on that message board are delusional and are way past over-confident. I've seen score predictions of 34-7, 40-10, etc. But hey, I am happy with the Panthers being the underdogs. I feel we play better in those circumstances anyway. Excited to see how our team responds to playing in that atmosphere.

I'm sure they are scoffing at our discussions of who is the best matchup. At the end of the day, just enjoy being in season for another 6 days and see how the guys do.

[CARuthless]

past due is an understatement, itll make up for the last 2 reg season losses if we crush their playoff hopes

[MadHatter]

We are basing our matchup preference based on the fact that 4 of the last 5 matchups have been great games and close scores.

Their predictions are based on complete ignorance and the fact that they are all douchebags.

I love it. Everybody is writing us off against them. They're in for a rude awakening. And knowing those cocky douchebags in Seattle (the actual players and Pete), they'll be overlooking this team and doing some early preparing for the Cowboys/Packers. This is the most excited I've been for a Panthers game in over a decade.
