Hmm you're mostly right about injuries, but keep in mind Jonathan Stewart and Ted Ginn (Please don't drop the damn ball!) will be back most likely as well. So basically we have only lost Bene and Tillman since that game , it will be a tough test for the replacement DBs not named josh norman...
Well to be fair for this image, Steve Smith played in the only super bowl the panthers were ever in , so he WOULD know something about being in SB. Albeit being quite a while in the past.
I think trying to argue who is the better team when both have gone through some major changes up to this game since the last game, will only land fans from both sides to keep arguing in circles forever.
This game is the test. Playoff games are the ultimate benchmark. If Panthers beat Seahawks...
Agreed, from a panthers fan.
Nature of the playoffs is regular season simply doesn't matter anymore. You talk all the junk you want to but if you can't perform where it matters the most and lose 3 strait playoff games in the same round you are the definition of a pretender.
There's definitely a lot of panther fans that are not like what you describe. Especially the bandwagon comment, a good number of posters on the huddle have been on the website since I joined at the beginning of the 2010 season and had been there before I got there.
Personally I've never...
That had a lot of Panther perspective stuff in it for it being posted in Seattle forum haha Maybe more emphasizing how its not going to be an easy game?
Well I'm not complaining as a Panthers fan. Both teams are going to be highly motivated to give their best with Seattle out to get revenge...
Yeah Panther's DB situation is totally different. Bene Benwikere was a rising solid young cornerback who is out for the season now, and Tillman was old but had some very nice plays for us creating fumbles and playing overall solid defense and brought lot of veteran leadership and experience to...
Yeah hopefully its a good game! I personally don't have anything against the Seahawks and I like the fact Russel Wilson went to NC State for a time I had a lot of good friends from high school that went to school there ( I went to UNC-Chapel Hill). I hate the saints and I played the Lynch...
Have to also keep in mind starting RB Jonathan Stewart is most likely coming back but I don't think he has been in a single game of practice in 3 weeks to a month. If he does get back for this game I'm hoping he's not rusty.
Ted Ginn is also supposed to be back from his injury for this coming...
Strangely enough over on panthers message board there are people also claiming it will be one sided victory for the panthers (talking to you rideaducati).
I don't think it will be a blowout either way, both teams have changed substantially since last match-up and the circumstances are totally...
