Hmmm.... Cowboys and Eagles get crushed, Romo hurt again... Guaranteed the Giants lose this weekend. There's no way they can stand this sort of prosperity.

I think Carolina is a very good team lacking wide receivers and anyone outside of Newton and Olsen on offense that threatens a good defense. The defense is very good but not outrageous. I still think Arizona is the best team in the NFC and Green Bay is going to be a very tough out unless McCarthy punts on fourth and three from the 37 as he is also wont to do.

Easy to think Carolina is now a huge powerhouse after watching the last two weeks. Never as good as you are at your best as we know. Before last week Cam's numbers were pedestrian. Still very capable of high tipped throws for easy picks

Carolina is having a great season. That being said, I would love to play them in the Super Bowl.
I wouldn't. I think they are the best team in the NFC (maybe you could talk me into ARI). Their defense is very good, they have a legit #1 corner, their running game is decent, and Newton causes all kinds of problems that most QBs don't.

Can we just stipulate that the opposing team in the Super Bowl is probably going to be a tough team to beat?
While my team won't be participating in it (hi WBV!) it's way too early to be talking about the Super Bowl and who will play in it period. Carolina is one Cam injury (and with his style of play it isn't exactly out of the realm of possibility) from riding the Derek Anderson Express.

Best wishes for a good game. Let's not disparage any of these special and historic franchises, so we can keep any of our wonderful dopes from deleting any posts.

Yeah, that's kind of my point. If you make it there, you are probably facing a tough opponent. And it's hard to get there.

Have to go there. Have to take advantage of the field position.

Gain of 26 yards of field position is not worth a good 50% chance you have of converting

Because the ruling on the field was a touchdown, they show no sack and call it a touchdown after the review.

What a shitshow this league is.

Wonder if that's overturned if BB's goal line cameras were in place.

Either way, what an idiot.
Nope. The NFL is so dopey they pointed the few pylon cameras they could afford up the sidelines. Probably take a few more years of saving to have any chance of getting cameras that face the goaline.

This is a good, well played game, especially in the conditions. Well done after an awful day of football. Carry on.
