The Panthers have a great defense, special teams, and a power running game. Cam is streaky though. He can get hot and burn you but if pressed he also makes a lot of mistakes. He does not respond well after being hit.
One of the most complementary posts on the Panthers on this site, but I must say the Panthers special teams are God-Awful, and saying "power running game" is a slight stretch. J-Stew does look healthy and fantastic however. The D is good but must prove itself more to be great IMO.
While Cam was off tonight, who isn't at times? His total resume, skill set, and body of work as a 25 year old in college and pro football take a back seat to no one. He did tonight what it took Peyton 6 years to do-win a playoff game, and Cam didn't play 4 years of college football after being groomed by an NFL QB father. What he has done this year with the injuries and supporting cast is insane. His fortitude has been tested and he has passed, and will be around for many years to come no matter what happens the rest of these playoffs.
One other thing, while home field is an advantage and the Seahawks have good players, traveling itself to the west coast means nothing. In fact, despite being 0-3 @Seattle, the Panthers are 14-9 all time on the west coast (Seattle, SF, OAK, SD, ARI).
