The Wild Card Weekend Thread

That Carolina - Arizona game was something else. I'm sure Seattle is quaking in their boots. Game had all the intensity of a third preseason game. How was Joel Stave eligible to start for Arizona?

SO. Now that this first NFC game is out of the way, what do you guys think about tomorrow game? Specifically, would you rather play Dallas or Carolina? I definitely feel like Detroit has a better chance against Seattle than Carolina, after watching today's game.

In 2014-15 NFL, one TD at the half with a 13-9 score? Ahhh yes, defensive struggle of course.

Poor red zone offense. Neither defense is dominant. the Steelers have one offensive threat.

I don't know how to tease them apart. Detroit got spanked by Carolina early this season. Carolina is a bit healthier than they were versus Packer, but they looked awful versus the Cardinals good Defense.

Will it be good Andy or bad Andy today?

That's the first time this season that the Colts scored a TD on an opening drive.

Carolina's defense has been playing better lately, which made me think they might be dangerous in GB. Charles Johnson has had GB's line for lunch in the past and they have a better outside rush than Detroit. That's something that can get after the Packers offense.

After yesterday, though, I'm a lot less worried about Carolina. They're better than earlier this year but AZ's offense makes it impossible to say anything about an opponent's D. And Carolina's offense is very limited.

Carolina hurt themselves a lot yesterday with the muffed punt and bad route that led to the INT.

The Seahawks/Panthers have played 3 one score games their last 3 meetings, though those have all been in Carolina. It'll be interesting to see how that goes next week.

Carolina played a team with an invalid at qb at home and won by 11 points. Arizona netted 78 yards total and their punter couldn't punt over 30 yards. Mind boggling, they should have lost by 40. I was not impressed with Carolina at all. Dallas has a legit team top to bottom. Go lions!

Dalton has thrown 2 dangerous balls so far. Jeez.

Then he hits a beauty over the LB to put the Bengals in scoring position. Lettin' 'er rip, I guess.

Qué incompetente es Phil Simms. No entiendo por que la CBS lo mantiene.

LOL!

Dallas won't have any problem with the Lions. That will set up a situation I don't really like - my second favorite team coming to play my FAVORITE team. Oh well, at least one of them would be guaranteed to advance. I don't think Seattle is all that unbeatable. I'm not predicting Carolina will beat them, but I wouldn't be surprised by it.

Talk about shopping for an ILB to trade for, Dallas has several good ones this season, and Shawn Lee coming back next year. I'd look in that direction. I doubt Ted even considers a move of that sort, though.

Think Dallas will keep Lee? He's been injured a lot.
