I really hope no one associated with the Panthers or their family members visited the Huddle today.

I hope opposing fans don't laugh so hard they spit beer all over their keyvbards upon reading the OP.

ERMAHGERD Y R PPL TAKING QUALITY OPPONENT SRSLY

 

We should take every team left seriously. They're all good/great.

 

My issue is with those thinking we have no chance, or those that overlook some of the weaknesses of our opponents while over-emphasizing ours.

 

And the all cap emo thing? It's not a good look for you.

A lot of people are saying a lot of things. The chunk of people saying we have no chance are barely showing up on the radar

Marguide, I get it... but at the same time, let's explore the alternative perspective that is at the root of your complaints.

The last time we were in the playoffs, we had a similar record and had a lower seeded team come into BOA, only to get completely thrashed and thoroughly embarrassed. Not to mention, assholes like Dockett talked crap leading up to the game and continued to do so after they beat us. There was no respite or comfort in anything surrounding that game. We followed that up by sucking for approximately 5 years and didn't sniff the playoffs again until this year.

Now, the counter perspective is, this is a very different team... we have a QB that can completely dominate a game at any given time individually, possibly the best defense in franchise history, and we have already beaten the team we are facing at there own stadium.

It comes down to this... there are going to be pessimistic fans until Riverboat and Co. go out there and kick some Niner ass. Just as no one believed in the staff or even some of the roster to turn it around to start the year, and Ron had to prove then wrong then. It's show and prove time.

Me? I'm cautiously optimistic and drinking the kool aid. Let's do this!

I understand. The 9'ers are a damn good team. They very well may beat us. Just like any other team still playing.

 

But there is absolutely no reason any Carolina fan should fear SF. We both know there isn't a single player in the locker room at BOA expecting anything other than a win.

[FootballMaestro]

i dunno why anyone here would fear SF. They are a worse version of us. inferior at almost every position except WR

 

And O-line; with it being very even (national media would give nod to San Fran on reputation) at Linebacker.

this times 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 i was disgusted with some of the trash on here....people wanna know why we cant expand our fanbase....poo like what was displayed here today....with the passion and emotion this team plays with week in and week out, and you wanna spit poo like that gtfo....if your one of those people and you know who you are, you should be ashamed of yourself.....the kraken would spartan kick you in the face

Look at our last year making the playoffs. The run we made, the dominance we showed had fans extremely excited, but the let down was hell for all of us. You shouldn't question why other fans have doubt, yea this is a different team, but the last time this fanbase had this kinda year we poo the bed. It's hard to look past, but if and when we win Sunday you can bet your ass this fanbase will go all in once again.

[King]

Yeah, this is way too fuging similar to 2008 for my liking.

What's so hard about keep negativity to yourself? I don't mean you in particular but just in general and to the other posters on this board. Positive thoughts go a lot farther than draining negative thoughts about how about we will lose, or how much greater the opposing team is vs our team. We can be negative all we want if we get a loss but expecting loses and poo before the game is even played? Just ridiculous..

Pie to you sir for making a valid point, but ari team in '08 was inferior to this 9ers team. And the past 5 years we as panthers fans been let down. Yea we're the 2nd seed and yea this team has busted their ass for it, but this is the exact same situation we were in at that point. Boldin was on that team as well iirc, so of course some of our fans are going to be hesitant right now. Like I said if/when we win this fanbase will be all in.

[Spaceballs83]

Grow some skin.

[intangiblejohnny]

Really? Tell me more about how it makes you feel.
