Just like teams get hot at the right time.. Are we cooling off at the worst time?

[PanthersUnited]

You hear it time and time again in the NFL.. "You just never know, all it takes is for a team to get hot at just the right time at the end of the season and they can carry momentum to the SB." Case in point the 9-7 Giants that went on to win the SB after beating the 15-1 Packers AT lambeu in the playoffs..

Or how about the Seahawks first SB run when they got hot at the perfect time in December.. Another example this year are teams like the Jets, Chiefs and Redskins.

The last two weeks there is no doubt this team is just different. First it was letting the Giants come back from such a huge deficit and tying the game, then the loss to the pedestrian Falcons today..

But just looking at this team play, you can just tell they are exhausted and mentally checked out. Cam has baby brain, even Kuechly is playing ho hum and just doenst have the same intensity and Norman was even very tame today..

Shula and his playcalling is atrocious and is very vanilla. This team just seems so mentally checked out and it is very concerning.. 

I personally don't think we beat the Cardinals in the playoffs and frankly they are so good I don't think them having to come to Charlotte will make a difference. They are laser focused unlike us

what up Z

[Chaos]

You mentally checked out in training camp

It's ok. Nobody wants to win the SuperB owl anyway. Too damm much pressure. Let's just finish the season out and go home.

Seattle, the Steelers, Green Bay, and New England also all lost today so I guess almost every playoff team except the Cardinals is cooling off at the worst time.  Good grief we lost one game and the season is basically over.....however when I looked at who would start such a ridiculous thread, I wasn't at all surprised it was PanthersUnited.

Can't say until we see what happens next week.

Divisional games are almost always close, even if the teams aren't that good. We almost beat New Orleans in 2010 with Pickles at QB.

I had a nice wild caught salmon with rosemary and thyme and covered in Jewish salt... Was so good, I paired it with grilled Brussels sprout 

I'm more of a trout guy myself, but hey, you do you.

Got a chicken baking in the oven, smothered in a Teriyaki marinade.
