Not good for them.<br /><br />Teams like the Vikings get an advantage in places like their dome where the fans are always loud, especially in the playoffs. <br /><br />A first round bye for someone like Brett, who is older and banged up, might be helpful...might not. But I bet you he'd like to have it.<br /><br />Calling all of it irrelevant because of Vegas odds on Indy is pretty short sighted. You said it yourself, these teams all come to play. Besides, what do you think Vegas odds were for NE to win it all after going undefeated - and they lost to the Giants. <br /><br />Point is, you just never know - but ALL teams want any advantage they can get, e.g. higher seeding for home playoff games and byes, when they can get them. It can't hurt, but it sure as heck can help.Curtis Watkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08644867286122176535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1757788746378060243.post-88309037047989307372009-12-22T07:59:14.050-05:002009-12-22T07:59:14.050-05:00Playoff seeding is irrelevant for the most part wi...Playoff seeding is irrelevant for the most part with the 12 total teams to make it or 6 from each conference unless you are top seeded and get the last place team.

And to those of you who are delusional, and want to believe that the "Ragin Cajun" was ever a good NFL quaterback, GET OVER IT!! He sucks! Some of you still want to give this guy credit he doesn't deserve. Stop hating and congratulate Matt Moore. He has gotten better every week.<br /><br />Also, while you are engaged in a love fest with Jake you are on the verge of running Peppers out of town. Nothing this guy does is good enough for you. Haven't you learned from letting Kris Jenkins go. We are still trying to replace him. When you have elite, all pro caliber defensive linemen you don't let them go!! Did you see #90 last night? He may not give that effort all of the time. But you'll understand how important a player of his level is when you have Tyler Brayton and Everette Brown as your starting defensive ends.Kennethnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1757788746378060243.post-19036292386837585322009-12-21T20:32:01.521-05:002009-12-21T20:32:01.521-05:00Lol @ anon @ 5:31...sure, you're a coach.

Because as a coach, who wants a first round bye or home field advantage? No, I can tell by your Coach Speak that those things are only important to us Monday morning QBs. My apologies for encroaching on your Coaching and former player insight. Clearly, I am in way over my head.<br /><br />Are you the same Coach who said the Vikings were "resting their players for the playoffs" while they played in the game? Do you use that same strategy when you Coach? "Hey 85, I need you to rest...so get out there and play the whole game, but rest while you do it!" Again, a brilliant coaching move I had never considered before. <br /><br />By the way, do you even know what the expression "forest ofr the trees" actually means? Is that another one of those things where we shouldn't be "chosey"?<br /><br />Frankly, this is too easy...but sure, I'm the one who is in over his head. <br /><br />Great job there, "Coach"...Curtis Watkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08644867286122176535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1757788746378060243.post-76599860255636761012009-12-21T20:31:05.260-05:002009-12-21T20:31:05.260-05:00Mike in Nicaragua...that's awesome man.

I miss going to the games and can not even get enough selection on TV to watch them on the TV here. But I got lucky Sunday night and saw the entire game (every second of every minute)<br />on cable TV. As many of you fans, I also have been disappoined (and questioning ¨why are they losing¨, with the talent they have. games this season and I know the team has been too.<br /><br />I want to thank the Panthers for the best Christmas present I did not expect. The performamce was excellent all the way around with no special acclodes to any one player. Though a Farve fan,I particularly liked the defensive presure applied by each of the defensive players .. and even imagined that after that sack, Julius Peppers introduced himself to Farve as he picked himself up off the ground,¨Hello, my name is Julius Peppers and you will be seeing a lot of me tonight¨......... and Steve Smith, Mr. Smith to me, has always been my favorite. Well what can you say when he said it all on the field Sunday night. And dig that Hoover catching that sweet pass like he could do anytime he chose. No other team in the NFL has running backs any more exciting to watch than the Panthers. My hat off to every member of the team, as well as Fox and crew, because it was evident that the plays were happening as result of passion & teamwork during the game and because of practice and hard work before the game.... thanks for the Christmas present from each of you Panthers ..........<br /><br />mike<br />mikeviaemail@aol.comUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17497372953335370292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1757788746378060243.post-91727795482985111172009-12-21T19:39:41.423-05:002009-12-21T19:39:41.423-05:00Matt Moore did an outstanding job and should be co...Matt Moore did an outstanding job and should be commended for it.

He should never start for us again because his arm is shot and he's not consistent. But I'll never forget his wonderful performance in the Super Bowl, the playoffs leading up to the Super Bowl, and the season we started 1-7 and lost so many starters when really it was Jake who held the team together (even though we didn't go to the playoffs that year it was special to me the way we rallied).<br /><br />But onto now...I loved what I saw from Moore!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10118331347889752308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1757788746378060243.post-47058967604988552472009-12-21T13:58:37.552-05:002009-12-21T13:58:37.552-05:00Hey Mike...I think, for a few of us anyway, we'...Hey Mike...I think, for a few of us anyway, we've all praised Jake for his past performance.

Really? I didn't realize teams fighting for first or second seeds, in order to get a first round bye, had games to "throw away" this time of year. I guess us who don't know anything about sports might find that odd, but hey, who am I to second guess the brilliance of that decision? You must be right - I'm sure the coaches and players decided none of that silly seeding stuff really matters. Who wants a bye anyway?<br /><br />Yup, that makes <b>a lot</b> of sense. I wish I knew more about sports and "winning teams" to understand that mentality. But I guess we can't be "chosey" now can we? What does "chosey" mean again?<br /><br />Face it, we beat them because we played the better game last night. Period. Funny, but in Brett's inteviews after the game, where he mentioned fighting with his coach and how he kept getting pressured, I don't recall him saying "well, this was just a throw away game and we gave it to them." In fact, nobody on that team said anything to that effect. I guess they don't know anything about sports either?<br /><br />Face it son, you are outmatched on this one. So tuck your tail between your legs and scoot on home, ok?<br /><br />Jennifer - Smokey says hi!Curtis Watkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08644867286122176535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1757788746378060243.post-81820525083466569922009-12-21T13:04:36.900-05:002009-12-21T13:04:36.900-05:00@misskitty

The Panthers are not in contention but they played hard, especially the defense. The offense finally gave the defense a present and that was scoring points.
