who would yall wanna play in the playoffs

[MALL34]

i would not wanna play the dirty birdies because that michael turner scares me. so does that passing game and that's the panthers weakness. matt ryan is a rookie but he's playing beyond his years on top of that there a division foe,they always play us hard in the regular season so playing them in the playoffs makes it even harder.

it's kinda a toss up between the cards and vikings because our defense is dredful against the pass and the cads,that's all they do. i think we do better against the run so if we can shut down A.P. and force jackson to pass we got a way better shot at winning against the vikings.

so in my opinion the vikings are our best shot at getting back to the chip. and they stole a W from us earlier this year.

of course it's easier said the done: jus ma two cents though what yall think

I am also worried about Arz passing. but if you look back over the history of the Panthers, we seem to make average and poor QB's look like pro bowlers so that leave out Minn

so I think the best of the poison would be Atl, we know what we are getting with them. I feel better about playing them at home.

I want to play any team from the AFC, and I don't care who we need to go through to get there.

I don't see any of our NFC options winning at BofA. It's all going to go down to how much better our defense plays with Kemo when we face the Giants again.

Well Atlanta is 22nd stopping the run, Cards are 17th, and the Vikes are 1st

I'm not really afraid of anyone at this point. Fox has almost always done a good job getting his teams ready for the postseason since he's been here regardless of what happened in the regular season.

I'm so glad to be in the playoffs, any of them are fine with me. I think we'll face the Vikings or Falcons in the divisional round, though. I'll be surprised if Arizona beats Atlanta. Philly matches up good with the Giants. :yesnod:

[Kyle82]

I'm with you on the Philly/Giant matchup....that will be a hell of a game.

Give me Arizona since they have no running game. If the Panthers defense allowed Warner to throw for over 400 yards, then they'd deserve to be knocked out of the playoffs. I think the Panthers' running game is better now than it was first time they played Arizona, and that could limit the amount of opportunities the Cardinals offense would have, to begin with.

Atlanta, I hate Matt Ryan, and I'd want to see the Panthers win that game more to disappoint his ESPN groupies than just so they could advance to the Championship Game. That would make me especially jumpy, tense, and irate during a matchup with the Falcons. I don't want that stress. I don't want to get banned from this site during that game, either, so I'd prefer the Panthers play someone other than the Falcons...for my sake.

Vikings. Where that idiot Jackson wouldn't scramble against the Falcons two weeks ago, and instead just stood around like a fool and got sacked all day, I think the Vikings would study tape of Mike Vick against the Panthers, and Jackson would run on the Panthers defense all day long. Combine that with Adrian Peterson, and they could potentially rush for over 250 yards against the Panthers. Difference is Jackson throws it better than Vick ever did. I think that could be a surprisingly tough game for the Panthers. Probably tougher than the Falcons because you know Ryan's not going to run. Jackson will in this game, based on the Panthers' troubled history against scrambling QBs (Mike Vick). Hopefully the Eagles will take care of the Vikings, because I don't want to face them.

So, I want to play the Cardinals and the Eagles, which would require the Eagles knocking out the Giants. Philly would be tough, but it would be a home game, so that's a fair trade.
