i kinda think the whole fanbase and team cares. i, for one, am fired up and ready to lose my lungs come 1pm sunday

 

Who cares what NFL Network thinks...and no, the entire fanbase could care less about Ric Flair...at least I hope they do.

The 49ers has been a favorite to get back and win the Superbowl.

Doesn't matter that we're playing them.

[BANE]

Weren't we unanimously picked against them the first time we played?

 

In fact, now that I think about it, haven't we been unanimously picked against in every major matchup? 

 

I say let the media keep talking. Piss Greg Hardy and Co. off even more. Yea, Im sure thats what that SF offense wants.

I hope we send all Niner fuggers limping to the locker room as final scoreboard says Panthers 28 Niners 0. I won't be happy until it happens LOL

i dont think people care specifically what NFLN says. for me, its more of the general concept in the media that the panthers are underdogs at home. thats what has the fanbase fired up. its the general lack of respect from everyone that is pissing us off. however i'll agree with you about flair. now lets stop talking about him before Zod locks this thread haha

Agreed.  But back to NFLN, I feel like it never bothers me because I like being the underdog.  Remember when we played Arizona an NO ONE picked Arizona to win?  Those situations bother more than this one.

 

And I don't feel like its a lack of respect as some do.  It may be hyping up the bigger market or it may be just how they feel about the game.  We are still a relatively new team in the fray when it comes to success.  Rarely do those teams go very far in the playoffs (although san fran did it last year).  

 

The bad thing is that no matter what if we win this week I guarantee that we will be underdogs next week and probably two weeks after that game too.  We have to earn it and, me personally, I'm fine with that.

i'm pretty sure the only playoff game we've ever been picked to win was the divisional vs arizona

Read an article, one of the stats in the article is: Keaperdic didn't complete a pass over 10 yards in our last meeting. But now their offense is "explosive" because they beat a crappy Green Bay defense.
