If Cam can't use his legs, I'd rather have Derek Anderson in there, TBH...

I think this game will be close and low-scoring. Seattle probably wins, but we'll see. The Carolina defense has been playing lights-out lately.

This statement seems to contradict itself.

Lol, have you seen the Hawks play this year?

It'll be tough because our offense will probably do very little for the first 30 minutes, but will probably put on a rout for the other 30.

Sounds right.

No one is expecting Carolina to even come close to pulling this out, right? I'm usually a sucker for those picks!

Carolina does have a defense that's come alive, and they got a nice warmup last week against Arizona. I pretty much have given the NFC to the Seahawks though, they've gotten better as the season has gone along and there's just something different about them then past Super Bowl champions. Panthers running in to a buzzsaw. Carolina keeps it dangerously close for 2.5 quarters, then Seattle puts them to sleep late.

Carolina the last few years have played Seattle tough. Don't see any difference here. I hope that Philly Brown is good to go. We need his speed to take the top off.

Yep. Seahawks have won six straight and have won them all by double digits. Every one of those teams was above .500 too. Seahawks are running hot, coming off a bye, fully healthy, playing against a team with a gimpy QB and are at home. I think they are going to absolutely crush the Panthers.

While winning 6 in row against any NFL teams is impressive, these teams weren't exactly peaking down the stretch: SF 2X, Arizona 2X, Philadelphia & St Louis.

I think Green Bay will beat Seattle in the NFC Championship Game.
