The Nazis were a few miles outside of Moscow under operation Barbarossa, but Moscow was extremely well defended, and the German army was exhausted and slowed by winter weather. To make matters worse for the Germans, the Russians brought their reserve forces from the east, which had been used to deter Japan from attacking, and used these forces to launch a massive counter attack and drive back the Germans.

The Germans were shelling the city and the only reason they didn't march on was because Hitler wanted to take Stalingrad first because it was named after Stalin. Taking Moscow was a matter of marching. Yes they brought their ski troops in from the east because Japan and Russia had an unspoken pact they wouldn't break until the final days of the war, but apart from the mental imagery it wasn't that big a deal. However, yes, russians on skis doing strafing runs against freezing german soldiers is fun to think about.

Hitler didn't take Stalingrade because Jude Law and that chick from Titanic were there busting caps in the Germans.

This was a good movie. Makes me wish traditional WW2 FPS shooters would come back every time i watch it. don't think we've had one since the last brothers in arms.

Considering where we are as a franchise, with so many young players at key positions, this may be the most defining weekend in franchise history. Careers may be made or broken 3 days from now.

For many reasons, including this message board and the camaraderie it has developed in me, this has been my most favorite year ever as a Panther fan and I hope this ride does not end with a whimper. This game may well be the catapult for Cam, Luke, Star and Ron, the definer for CJ, TD and Kalil and the finishing touch for Smitty and Gross. I think we can have an effect on Sunday's outcome, but only if we act as one.

If you have a ticket...if you are going to attend this game...plant your ass in your seat at 12:30. Prepare yourself to yell until the blood vessels in the whites of your eyes burst. Prepare yourself to tell the good doctor behind you to fug himself when he asks you to sit down. Prepare yourself to forgo food at halftime so that you are still in that same seat when the 3rd quarter begins. Prepare yourself for the valleys and the highs that will inevitably come in this game. Prepare yourself for the game of a lifetime.

The siege is upon us and spirits are high. We go into battle together.

Operation Barbarossa failed...so shall the Saints.

Panther Nation rise up!

Now, more than you ever have before...KEEP POUNDING!!!

Victory will be ours.

Panthers 34 Saints 13

I love you guys.

Love your post brother
