The panthers were just a shell of themselves in the second half. Played it almost too conservative. Should be a great game next week.

Yeah, the Seahawks really put themselves in a hole early in the game. Offensive line has been an issue all year, and even before Okung went out, the Panthers were getting quick pressure on Wilson which led to the 2 turnovers. Those turnovers were really the difference in the game. It's hard to overcome 2 Ints that both lead to scores.

Well someone needs to tell the Panthers a game is 60 minutes...NOT 30. They'll NEVER beat Arizona if they play like that.
SB...I'm thinking Pats vs Cards

BRONCOS!!!!

This was an old Steelers paced game... coming from someone who grew up watching the Houston Oiler's and is diehard Columbia Blue!

Great game!

#1 vs #2 in both NFC/AFC. Has that happened before?

Patriots fan here, I think I don't want to go to Denver because of officials and just random weird stuff that happens there, but feel ok about our chances in that game.

Carolina was SO amped to start game, then ran out of gas. Need to pace themselves. Game vs Cardinals should be epic tilt.

Mad shout out to Larry Fitzgerald. He deserves some playoff spotlight, class act and all time great player.

AZ has got some work to do this week. I have a feeling the team knows that too. Go Cardinals! #Birdgang #BeRedSeeRed

AZ, welcome to Charlotte. We welcome you to a great NFC game. I am hoping once again, Panthers will be "underdog" with the point spread, and the media hype. It happened for 16 regular season games, and the first playoff game.

We want another shot at NE in the superbowl. We should of won 2005, and we really want that rematch.

I just want to add we had no turnovers. I agree we got too conservative, but if you are up 31 at the half it becomes a clock management game. A few more first downs would have been nice, but keeping the clock running and not turning it over are more important.

Would have gotten aggressive if we had too.

Having said all that, we do get that way too often. Almost cost us against both green bay and Indianapolis earlier this year.

We also lost Jared Allen to a broken foot.. We were fine before picking him up, so I suspect we will be okay without him.

And we are favored hrpii, as we should be. Seeds say it all. Gonna be a hell of a game though.

yeah, NOW they favor us...lol. I am a little more worried with our Secondary. We are hurting there, and AZ has a pretty pronounced passing game. So hopefully we can find a way to address that. As fast as our linebackers are, we should be okay. Putting pressure on Palmer did GB pretty good at times. At times, like end of game...well, did not exactly go well for GB.

Oh, and zero turnovers for us... wow, just wow. I was glad of that. I may have screamed a few choice words in the second half. I need a direct line to Shula.

I was also hoping to have the early game, because it always takes me a few hours after the game to calm down. I get into the game, and truly enjoy it...in a very fun, exciting way. It was probably halftime of the Broncos game where I was calming down from the Panther win.

same here. I kept waiting to wake and find out I was just dreaming in the first half.

Tale of the tape. These 2 teams are pretty evenly matched! It should be a heck of a game.
