It going to be bittersweet watching Adrian Wilson getting pwnt by steve smiff

1/4/2009 8:28:02 PM

The Panthers open as a 10 point favorite, WOW!

Vegas definitely thinks the Cards be content with their first playoff win in forever and lay down. Also, they've played very poorly on the east coast aside from our first meeting.

1/4/2009 8:32:43 PM

they were up 17-3 in our first meeting IIRC

1/4/2009 8:33:24 PM

thats a huge line

1/4/2009 8:36:51 PM

1/4/2009 8:39:08 PM

1/4/2009 9:11:50 PM

Wow, I am scared to be a favorite by that much...

1/4/2009 9:28:01 PM

1/4/2009 10:57:11 PM

mancrush on leinhart

1/4/2009 11:02:27 PM

i don't think the cards can contain the run like they did against the Falcons.

let's go williams and stewart.

and chris harris needs to fuck anquan up.

1/4/2009 11:04:44 PM

the endzones better be black for the playoffs

I was a huge Jake the snake fan back in the old days, not to mention I liked them when I was young because they had the same colors as NC State, this is before the panthers came about.

so naturally, me being a state fan, i also was a cards fan...and they were both equally terrible.

1/4/2009 11:13:57 PM

shit just got real

1/5/2009 3:25:36 AM

early reports on Anquan Boldin's status for the game:

Quote :

"Anquan Boldin's (hamstring) status for next week is in question after he missed the second half of Arizona's playoff win Saturday. He will be evaluated over the next few days, although we imagine he'll find a way to suit up next week regardless. Jerheme Urban, who moved up one spot in the wideout rotation when Boldin left, made a huge mistake against Atlanta which cost Arizona points Saturday."

1/5/2009 12:38:34 PM

early weather reports are calling for rain...that'd be a huge plus.

also, everyone should be pulling for the eagles if we win

1/5/2009 1:45:12 PM

I'll be pulling for the Eagles either way.

Screw the Giants.

1/5/2009 1:47:08 PM

Was definitely already pulling for Eagles to win. Panthers should be ready to attack. Defense is due for a big GAME and I think they will bring it. The offense should hold its own with the rushing attack.

Bertrand Berry is dumb

Quote :

"UPDATE from St. Onge, 2:38 p.m.: A clue to the Cards' success on D? Defensive end Betrand Berry told Dan Patrick on his radio show today that Atlanta QB Matt Ryan didn't change his snap count all game Saturday. The Cards were able to time the snaps and get a great jump off the line, Berry said, Not the kind of thing your coach wants you telling the nation (and your next opponent). "

1/5/2009 4:04:51 PM

the giants game outcome is a win/win. we either get the champ game at home, or go to NY for redemption.

IF we handle buisness this week.

[Edited on January 5, 2009 at 4:29 PM. Reason : .]

1/5/2009 4:29:05 PM

its tough not to overlook the cards though... they have such a mediocre defense. Both Philly and NY have great defenses... even atlanta had a solid defense....

dont rolly eye that statement

bank of america sucks 90% of the time

though it should be rocking saturday night

1/5/2009 10:42:23 PM

im excited and weirded out by the black jerseys, lets hope it gets us more hyped up

1/5/2009 10:53:16 PM

Bank of America stadium is a wine and cheese crowd on the club level and on the lower bowl sidelines which are the ones that get shown the most. Those are normally corporate and rich bastards that have those seats so they go to be seen not heard.

This season however has been different the crowd has been good for most games against decent opponents, the playoffs the Vault turns into a madhouse just ask the Cowboys.

1/5/2009 10:57:07 PM

When I hear "Wine & Cheese" crowds I think of yuppies in La Rez. The Panthers games I've been to have shown me mainly "Beer and Bojo" crowds...

1/5/2009 11:36:14 PM

The Panthers will wear BLACK jerseys Saturday night against Arizona. Jackie Miles, the team's equipment manager since their inception, notes its the first time Carolina has ever worn black for a playoff game.

Carolina generally wears white on the road. Its previous two home playoff games were against the Dallas Cowboys, and then the Panthers purposely wore white so as to make the Cowboys wear their "unlucky" blue jerseys. (It worked both times).

Bank of America Stadium will be a rolling sea of white, however, as a white Growl Towel about the size of a golf towel will be given away to everyone who comes through the turnstile. "Those towels really seem to show up better at night," said Phil Youtsey, the Panthers' ticket guru.

The Panthers are gently encouraging fans to wear black to match the team's jerseys and to contrast with the Growl Towels a bit better.

I just logged into my account settings on panthers.com and saw that this was one of the options for what you can do with your tickets:

" Forward your ticket(s) to charity "

um.....no

1/7/2009 4:18:06 PM

We had an extra ticket one game so we dropped it one of those charity donation boxes walking up to the game

In the middle of the 1st quarter the most mangy looking bum you've ever seen come hobbling up the steps and comes and sits right next to me

he smelled like urine and cheddar cheese and kept picking this huge scab on his elbow

NEVER AGAIN

1/7/2009 4:29:50 PM

i wouldnt even be completely opposed to it if it were a preseason game, or even a regular season game against detroit
