Watch out NFC, Carolina's back

[Freak93]

Let me just say this much. I would rather lose year in and year out than be tickled with the idea of winning. You don't have any idea how much it hurt, outside of Buffalo fans, to have to face the music on three straight championhip losses. When you are a passionate fan it hurts. You follow the team like crazy. You defend these players like they are your own brothers when someone from another team disses them. It is just terrible. To come so close only to be crushed. Losing in the playoffs is the worst thing to happen. And that is how it has been for with my two favorite teams in my two favorite sports, football and hockey.

I've got one thing to say to Backstop's post.

New Orleans has a very good quarterback in Drew Brees. We have a quarterback that is a great leader, but has the physical skills of Charlie Weis. Flip the quarterbacks around, and the Panthers may be 10-2 or 11-1.

If we can get decent quarterback play, DeAngelo (Don't Bitch at me about the spelling) Williams could be the spark that gets this team to the playoffs.

You know what hurts more? When its your team that is finally the first to lose to that same team that lost 3 straight conf. title games.

I would rather take that than being built up every single year only to be torn down the next year. It eats at you.

It's not Jake Delhomme's fault that this "amazing" Carolina defense gave up over 400 yards total offense to a Jeff Garcia-led team...

Uh, my post was about the season in general. Not last night's game.

Chris Gamble and whoever #35 is can take a defense from "amazing" to below average. Minter doesn't help.

Thanks for Manning, though.

This defense would be so good if they kept Manning instead of Gamble and Witherspoon over Morgan.

And certainly nobody at all can even somewhat contest Buffalo. God forbid a Buffalo team can get one little break here or there...

I actually have a T-shirt from Aussie T that I got a while back. It reads:

BUFFALO

Wide Right

No Goal

Forward Lateral

Phantom Goal

SCREWED AGAIN

References:

Wide Right: Scott Norwood's Super Bowl miss
No Goal: Brett Hull in the crease
Forward Lateral: Music City "Miracle"
Phantom Goal: This was in a playoff game against the Flyers a few years ago, when the refs credited John LeClair with a goal that actually never went in from the front, it went through the side of the net and was counted.

Tough to top that.

I'm still looking for a place with that damn shirt Terps...

It's been proven that the Music City Miracle was a backwards lateral.

Well all I can say is there can not be a worst NFL franchise (excluding Detroit) than what the Saints were. I mean we have 1 playoff win in our franchise history. Give me a break, im going to gloat about this season as long as it last.

Besides stop poking at Delhomme. I didn't hear yall bashing him when he led yalls great teams the past seasons. If he was that bad then your organization should learn to draft somebody or find someone in free agents like we did. Brees isn't the only reason our team is successfull this season also sportsbuck.

There is just a chemistry flowing in NO that has never been there before. We are getting good play from McAllister, Bush, Colston, and even when we have injuries, our backups step in to make the plays. Oh and the fact that hurricane Katrina flooded Marie LaVoe away so we don't have her bad luck anymore.

[Sportsbuck]

I'm a Panthers fan. I, and David, can poke and make fun of Jake Delhomme all I want. The reason we didn't say this stuff about him in years past was because his leadership carried us to the playoffs. Where has his leadership been this season?

Thank you, for the love of God, someone finally recognizes the Lions are the sorriest franchise in the NFL.

[dkgojackets]

Arizona anyone?

[dkgojackets]

And good news out of Carolina this week. Delhomme hasn't practiced and will be replaced by Chris Weinke. Unfortunately, Deshaun Foster is better and will be starting for some reason, and Ken Lucas is still hurt so Gamble has to get playing time.

I love you... I'm buying that damn shirt!

[IXI B@CkSt0P IXI]

The Lions and the Saints are no doubt the worst franchises in the NFL history. The Cardinals had there success at one time so...
