I can only imagine what Steelers fans think about it. Oh my!

just because they don't pick us to win the superbowl this year doesn't mean we get no respect...just getting it that far in THEIR playoffs shows a lot of respect because of the people we lost on offense and defense. i'm suprised we even made it that far, just be glad they didn't knock us out against the Colts.

it was a joke. The pats love to play the no respect card. SO we like to bring that up every chance we get.

I swear, the Panthers are the NFC version of the Colts. Except they've actually made a Superbowl in my lifetime. Still, they are vastly overrated. Delhomme is like a junior Lord Favre with the media now, he has one nice run and people act like he's a great QB. That Superbowl did more for his rep than any one game has ever done for another player. He's mediocre. The offensive line isn't that great, Keyshawn Johnson is not a weapon, the starter at running back is a crap shoot, the front four is very overrated, the secondary has never been that good, and they've done nothing to justify the love they get from the so-called analysts since that Superbowl run, unless getting taken behind the woodshed by the Seahawks counts. There are other teams I'm worried about, but the Panthers aren't one of them. We meet them in the Superbowl, and another Lombardi is headed to Foxboro, by 20+ points. OVERRATED.

The Panthers defense looks to be pretty darn scary. Arguably the best defense in the league (on paper, anyway). Smith (who I can't stand) WAS the best wide-out in the league last year. Fox is a very, very good head coach. I'd take Brady over Delhomme every day and twice on Sunday though.

Man, a rematch would be fun. Blood match.

In 03 they seemed like a Patriots Lite south...in many many ways..but then, they seemed way to big for their britches (Big headed and such for doing what?? Losing the SB??). But then injuries and..a bad year. They were better last year...and yes tough. Very similar to the Pats..THAT would be GREAT!!!

I was hoping for that last year. It has to happen now. The Panthers are my second favorite team.

I think Carolina might be the class of the NFC, no disrespect meant to Seattle. Defense wins championships, and they have a very good one. Also their offense isn't too shabby, with Delhomme being a fierce leader, and then you add possesion receiver Keyshawn Johnson to Steve Smith's speed, and Deangelo Williams to back up Deshaun Foster (and maybe even take his place). John Fox is an excellent coach to boot. They could be a very scary team for the next few years, and almost beat us in SB XXXVIII. I would hope that IF we make it to the SB, that means we are still a dynasty, and though it will be another close game, I think we always win close playoff games (in our dynasty years).
