Carolina Panthers - San Francisco 49ers NFC Div Playoff Game

Ice up, son.
 
I know all of you hate Kaepernick, but the guy makes plays in the postseason. I can respect that.
 
Fox broadcast is dull and boring, I don't get where the NFC is a boring conference! Is it because they play defense?

I tend to think it's just the branding - NFC is Fox, lot's of metallic uni's, the new hybrid QB's leading the charge. It tends to have kind of a Big 12 feel to it on the college level. Like I said, it feels synthesized. With teams like Carolina and Seattle, all the trash talking, it feels thuglike. The AFC feels more traditional, more of a Big Ten feel. Its QB's are more the traditional pocket passing types(Rivers, Roethlesberger, Manning, Brady, Luck). I feel like there are better longstanding rivalries and storylines imbedded in the conference.


It has nothing to do with the quality of football, which right now is better than the AFC.
 
I knew the Panthers were a fraud. Newton is the most overrated QB in the league

I wouldn't call them a fraud. They beat the Pats with Gronk. They're just not as good as San Fran. It might have been closer if Steve Smith were healthy, but probably not much.

They beat the Pats with Gronk being tackled in the endzone to prevent him from moving in place to catch the game winner while the penalty flag was somehow picked up.
 
LOL oh no they di-int!!
 
Lets give credit to the 49ers guys 3 straight NFC Championship appearances is no easy feat. They've been consistent and competitive since Harbaugh took over and play in a very difficult division. Good job Niners
 
49ers and Pats have now made it to the Conference finals 3 consecutive years now. Will we see a 49ers vs Pats SB finally? It's been 3 years in the making.

let's hope that does not happen. patriots don't have the weapons to match up against SF. I would much rather play Seattle, as tough as they are, since they have not been playing well for the last month or so.

Either team will be favored against us and rightfully so. Seattle has a secondary that can take away our small receivers, while SF can stop the run better than anyone. Only thing going for us if we get that far hopefully is having Tom and belichick in our corner

100% agree. I was just going to post that I would rather play Seattle.

Really? Talib on Boldin doesn't work for you? Dennard on Crabtree? Collins on Davis?.
Don't underestimate the powers of Darth Hoodie.

Difference is that SF's offense is more competent than Seattle's. I still have nightmares of Bolidin vs our secondary.

seattle lost to Arizona just a few weeks ago. we are better than Arizona in just about everything - i would even rate our defense as good as theirs. if arizona can do it against seattle so can we. SF however is playing the best football in the league right now - if only GB had knocked them out (and they had the chance to do so). Plus SF is not going to be afraid of playing in 25 degree weather in NJ since they already played and won in 5 degree weather in GB.
 
Well so much for the trend for the NFC Super Bowl representative being an NFC team the Patriots played that season...:bricks:

Well at least the Superbowl hosting curse is still going strong...especially this season!:singing:
