Underdogs?

Just read this on NFLam.

Panthers will be lowest ranked offense 26th to vet make a Super Bowl ever!

Panthers will be lower ranked passing offense 29th to win a Super Bowl ever!

It's like te media has to keep pushing the notion that it would be highly ludicrous for us to make it past the Niners and Seahawks and even win the whole dam thing, I mean you would have to wear a straight jacket and be a total vegetable to even comprehend the panthers winning.

I mean how dare we even have a winning season win our division and get a first round bye.

Niners passing offense is lower than ours.

And that's why I laughed!!! I mean there looking for every possible statistic or flaw against us! I don't see them writing off the colts or chargers it's just a total lack of respect for this team and organization! Ok we haven't been relevant since 2008 but doesn't that make it more so impressive that without a huge collection of offensive weapons and and not the most talented secondaries we been ballin all season and earnt this spot

Niners passing offense is lower than ours.

Indeed, if you account for the entire season.  Remember the last game the 49ers lost? It was in November.  Kaps season average per game was 199 yards through the air with a 58% completion percentage and 21 td & 8 interceptions.  Since their last loss, they are 7-0 he has thrown for 231 ypg, throwing 60% completion with 11 td & 2 interceptions.  He's definitely coming along a lot better than they were during that midseason struggle for a couple games.    It also helps that they have a healthy offense, i think that has contributed to this; especially Crabtree.

They have a time machine and they already know who's going to win the Superbowl.

Woot !

How the hell do you have an offense like Boldin Davis Crabtree Manningham and Gore and rank lower than ours? That's crazy

Don't confuse NFL AM's homerism with facts. 

[intangiblejohnny]

What is crazy is people being scared of the 49er offense over our defense based on media hype.

Kapernick. He isn't really a good QB. He does - few things well but nationally they don't want to dwell on his flaws

Quick enough to to jump on Cams tho like its a trampoline

I truly believe believe this will be the battle of defenses through out the whole game. I believe both QBs will struggle once again like they did back in week10. I believe it will come down to which team makes the most mistakes that will win in the end. I believe it will be a good game overall. I see us winning, but barely. Panthers 17 49ers 14 Panthers pull it out with a last second FG at the end for the win.

What are you....Dat Alice's cousin ?

"Well, if you turn it sideways and look at the stats this way....and disregard this game...and disregard that stat...let me show you why we really are one if the best passing attacks"

You guys are pathetic....and scared.

In a game like this, the Play-offs, where you're one or done, I would much prefer being seen and believe to be the underdog. 

Plus, I sometimes feel this team plays better when they believe they have something to prove. 

 

The only focus any team should have when they make the Play-offs isn't whether they are underdogs or not, but how many teams are between and them getting their hands on that Lombardi Trophy. In the Panthers case, there are two.

 

Seeing that those in the media have not placed the Panthers into their "chosen" team pile says that the further this team goes into the play-offs, the more they are going to be seen as "Underdogs." I pray the Panthers don't stop  being Underdogs until they get their hands on that trophy.

Did you watch the last game? I didn't see Cam "struggling." I saw a qb making the best of an Offense that isn't very good. In all honesty, Colin has a much more consistent offense than Cam. I simply don't know why some of you Panthers fans have a hard time digesting that reality. Heck, almost every team in these play-offs have a more consistent offense around the QB than the Panthers.

 

And, IMO, all this "our defense is going to carry this team" BS says to me that you either haven't been truly watching these games or you're simply very shallow. FYI, your QB, along with the defense, IS the reason why this team is where they are.

 

I swear some of you are beyond fugging arrogant and blind.

Ask the bengals chiefs eagles what is like to be the favourites to win!

It means nothing in playoff football it's whoever makes enough plays on both sides of the ball not what happend the last 17 weeks.
