NFL GDT: NFC Championship Game: (1) Carolina Panthers vs (2) Arizona Cardinals

[Novacane]

Damn. Allen had a foot injury and it possibly requires season ending surgery. He was looking really good today too.

 

[Sports Enthusiast]

I don't see anybody, or anything stopping Carolina this year. Scary good team.

They won't beat the master in BB.

They surely sat on the lead today. They were dreadful in half 2

Have to imagine they finally learn their lesson eventually and realize that they can't keep getting away with sitting on a lead though.

I don't think they'd get a big lead on NE at all to be honest. Denver maybe cause Manning stinks against real defenses as we know.

Alright then.

Thats a tough one. I'd love to see Arizona win, but Carolina is just so dominant at the LOS.

 

[Avs_19]

I'll cheer for the Cardinals because I want to see Fitzgerald win a ring.

I really just want a good game though. Hopefully it's a close one.

 

[SnS]

Just Keep Pounding.

Arizona for me. Even after finishing 17-1, I still don't belive in Carolina. Too many glaring holes and 4th quarter drive wins usually don't lead to super bowl success. Their lack of quality wide receivers and average offensive line will lead to a bad day imo.

Carolina has a surprisingly good offensive line.

Has them at 4 (the midway point of the season).

Slow down there Archie Bunker. kidding,

I think the Panthers are way better on offense than people give them credit for.

They feed Olsen and their running game is great. Theyre I think a top 2 redzone team as well. The threat of Newton reaching across the goal line with that height and wingspan affects defenses big time.

Carolina probably wins this...but I'm really cheering on Carson Palmer to win his Super Bowl.

 

[Sturm]

I've been high on the Cardinals, but after watching Carson Palmer do his best to **** up and give the game away last week, I'm going with Carolina. He will throw a couple picks and kill any chances AZ have of winning

 

[Voight]

Cards. This is their year.

Carolina is going to have to keep getting to the QB to help their secondary. That's a big reason for yesterday's game going the way it did. Every poor throw Russell made was because he was facing pressure. The health of Allen will be huge. He's getting an MRI today, but he supposedly played the final two series on it, so I can't imagine him not suiting up, especially since this very likely might be his final few games of his career (said he's only returning next year to play here, but his cap hit just doesn't make sense to keep around)

 

[darko]

Panthers.

 

[kingsholygrail]

I'm going with Arizona but no surprise if Carolina takes the trip to Santa Clara.

 

[What the Faulk]

If he's not on crutches, I think it'd be hard to keep him off the field. They not exactly stacked at DE, and he played well against Seattle. Plus, he's been waiting forever.

EDIT: Talking about Jared Allen

Yeah that was a weird typo (probably auto-correct) to say the least lol. Again, Arizonae will probably just have Peterson on Olsen and their front 7 is imo better than Seattle's.

Arizona could barely beat a depleted packers team, do you really think they are going to waltz into Carolina and beat cam and the panthers?

 

[What the Faulk]

Actually the Panthers have one of the best offensive lines in the NFL this year. So I'm just going to assume you didn't actually watch this team and just read boxscores.

 

[hersky77]

Panthers for me, been a fan of cam since his days at auburn.

 

[Hockey Gangsta]

Arizona

Should be a close game imo.

They're going to need Peterson on Ginn IMO, otherwise Ginn will just run in a straight line every play at top speed and eventually catch one of the 5 passes thrown directly into his hands for a TD.

On the other hand, Ginn was mostly/completely silent against Seattle, which I think is because Sherman was on him. He may also still be injured and not have his top speed.
