Be prepared for the following if you watch ESPN between now and the Super Bowl

[Sam Mills Fan]

I don't know if the Panthers will make and win the Super Bowl, but it's definitely possible. For every round, here's how ESPN is going to cover our game and the aftermath:

 

Before Niners game: "The 49ers are the best team in the league right now. Jim Harbaugh is such a great coach and they have a much better playoff pedigree than the Panthers. The 49ers will definitely win a physical battle!!"

 

After Niners game: "Let me tell you why the Niners lost.....actually, let's go live to the Jim Harbaugh press conference." 10% of coverage will be about the Panthers

 

Before Seahawks game: "The Seahawks have the best homefield in sports. We saw how the Panthers played in an environment like this when they lost to the Saints in New Orleans. The Seattle defense is the best in the league and they also have more playoff experience than the Panthers. The Seahawks will punch their ticket to New York!!"

 

After Seahawks game: "Let me tell you why the Seahawks lost." 10% of coverage will be about the Panthers

 

Before Super Bowl: "Peyton Manning is the greatest athlete in sports history and maybe the smartest. He will pick this Carolina secondary apart and win the Super Bowl with ease. Prepare for a blowout folks."

 

After Super Bowl: "Peyton Manning flops in yet another playoff game against an inferior team!!" Broncos coverage will dominate the 2 weeks before the game and the aftermath coverage will be nearly 100% about Peyton Manning.

 

 

So if you're mad about ESPN giving this game to the 49ers, just turn the TV off or get over it. With our likely opponents the rest of the way, we're not getting hardly any air time at all.

Meh, I think every team likes the no one believes in us vibe.  So I see it as nothing but a positive.

 

On the flip side, If we are really good then it doesn't matter.

 

We have won 10 of last 11 games, our defense is better than SF(yeah I said it) and our QB is better.

 

TBH the game is not going to be that close.  We beat them by 10.

I really enjoyed your enthusiasm. Don't worry about getting flamed; the huddle pours gasoline on everyone from time to time.

Keep up your positivity. It helps this place out.
