Both highly possible outcomes. The Saints as a whole looked horrible, even though the front did a pretty decent job on Lynch. [/quote]
I donno, Carolina’s defense is really good. [/quote]
I mean no doubt there but the weather will not be helping Carolina out. Not saying that last nights domination was the weather but it was at least a small factor. It should be a good game. The new O coordinator of the Panthers deserves a lot of credit because he totally changed the way that team moves the ball and made it much more effective.

It seems like they’ve stopped asking Cam Newton to do so much and took pressure off of him which has helped him shine. Not that he’s a game manager now but isn’t looked at to make every play and bail then out even though he has been.

Exactly. Its like they figured out, hey we have some really solid pieces all around you, lets mix them in a little. The running backs finally get some love, which also works to keep Cam fresh and uninjured. Olsen is getting some touches in the short game, and Lafell is doing pretty well himself. Smith isn’t putting up the big numbers but they really haven’t needed to gamble on anything deep like they seemed to feel the need to last year. They look like a really solid team.

Well that wasn’t nearly as exciting as I was hoping for. I didn’t even stay up for the whole game since the Saints were just 3-and-out the whole time basically.
I’m seriously curious how that game would have panned out in NO rather than SEA. Either way, NFC will go through there and I don’t know of a single team that has a chance in that stadium.[/quote]
I think San Fran is the only team that has a chance. Sure they lost to them earlier this season there, but they seem to be playing better now and have a few key players back. Of course I take back that statement if San Fran can’t beat them at home this week, haha.
RG3 looked alot better this week his receivers are shit and as mentioned the offensive line is abysmal. In hindsight they should have let him fully recover if the rest of the team was going to underachieve. Whats the likeliness that the Shanahan’s get the boot?
Also Russel Wilson is a cyborg, has to be, he gets out of the pocket and throws lazer beams such a talented football player. It was a piss poor performance from the saints. seahawks are the best team to watch I’ve been saying that forever, playoffs are going to be great this year.

San Fran as a team is playing better but I don’t think you can count on Kap to win a game for you if it came down to it.

All of that maybe true, but it’s the Carolina D that has made most of the difference. They have been ranked in the top 5 of most lists I have seen and just watching them play is pretty fun.
I am actually looking for Carolina to go deep into the play-offs. Cam being Cam, all the things you guys have mentioned, plus a physical NFC West style defense has the markings to carry them pretty far… I think they will take NO.

Seattle needs two wins to clinch the no. 1 seed regardless of what anyone else does. I suspect that might happen, so I wouldn’t be shocked at all with a Niner win. [/quote]
Well, it’s a game I plan on watching. It’s a rivalry and a 49er’s team on a surge who has gotten healthy. But you have what looks like an unstoppable train in Seattle.
I say it comes down to QB play and Wilson > Kap.
Either way it should be a fun game. It won’t be a blowout like the first one.

I am completely under the idea that the Redskins have a curse based on commentary during the games. Any time, and I mean just about any, there is a stat, during the game, made about how the other team hasn’t done something in a long time and they’ve struggled b/c of it, it undoubtedly will then occur before the end of the game. Be it KR for TD, sacks, INTs, etc.
I say this b/c I think maybe 1 month or so ago, a stat was made that RG3 hadn’t been sacked in like 3 games and the offensive line was playing great. Then the 2nd half rolled around and he started getting leveled. Since then it’s been a cake walk for a sack.
I whole-heartily believe there is some sort of curse. Maybe it is the name? I don’t know. What I do know is when I hear something along those lines as above, that I just need to prepare myself for some disappointment. Consistently. I should start keeping track of these things to prove the trend…

Fuck that guy. That was the very blatant and classless. He was staring up at the screen so it’s not like he was oblivious to the play. I feel bad for the Steelers organization b/c they can lose a potential draft pick for the actions of 1 moron.

He won’t be winning for me. They aren’t my team. I’m not a fan of Kap at all, but I do like other guys on the team.

Would love to see a guy like Winston from FSU end up going to Frisco, I don’t think he is eligible for the draft this year though.

I think he is.
Watched a report on ESPN last night that speculated he would go No. 1 in the next draft (if he declares).[/quote]
Ha who are yall kidding. We all know he is Jacksonville bound as soon as he comes out. Poor kid.

I thought this kid was being investigated for rape or something? Isn’t he going to jail?
Still probably better than JAX though (I kid, I think that team is making all the right moves…)

You calling Panthers/Hawks NFC title game Pat??
[/quote]
No because every time I say something like that, I turn out dead wrong. I say it’s definitely a possibility. At this moment, I believe them to be the 2 strongest teams in the NFC right now.
I am looking forward to the Saints/ Panthers game. I think that’s the decisive game for the Saints.
