I have never bought the "pressure is all on the other team" arguments. Does it matter? maybe, but matchups matter a helluva lot more. emo reasons suck, give me matchups.NINEster":21unv6eg said:Scottemojo":21unv6eg said:You have none of those things because your team is not very good.

Talk matchups. Tell me how your offense is going to hang the 20 they will need, at minimum, to beat this defense.
All NFL teams are dangerous to go against. Lots of bad teams play with house money and still lose. Loose? what does that actually mean?
Talk some actual ball, please. I am tired of all the emo reasons some fan thinks his team will win.
I could have sworn I've heard that expression used on .NET to describe the way Carroll gets his guys to play.
Anyways, bigcat forgot one small little detail:
It's been since 2004 that a SB champ won a playoff game the following season.
That's a rather interesting stat. The Seahawks winning this weekend would be no small feat historically.
As for your stat, who cares. Those games have zero bearing on this one. Would you look at that trend you cited as put money on the Panthers to win? IF not, then you don't really believe it matters either.

But I still expect the Hawks to win. The Hawks are the better team and we're at home.

You should relax we should win by 10-14 points unless something horribly wrong occurs.Jerhawk":9jvhaot6 said:Reading through some of the posts here I get the feeling that most of you are expecting this to be an easy win Saturday. Unfortunately I dont have the same level of confidence.
Going into last years divisional game, it felt like destiny was on our side. But for this game, theres too many storylines putting the Panthers in that dangerous David vs Goliath scene. Think about all the adversity theyre battling through. The quarterback survives a violent car crash, the coach's house burns down, and now they're 11+ point underdogs heading into the defending champions house.
I can just picture the storylines of how reselient they were to come in here with nothing to lose and shock the world. Does anyone else feel this way, or do I need to quit worrying and shut up? :180670: :34853_tinfoil:

Rather than get down to x's and o's, or schemes, or anything, I just watched it for missed opportunities. And there were a ton of them.

There are one or two cases in which it is acceptable to use an apostrophe to form a plural, purely for the sake of clarity:
you can use an apostrophe to show the plurals of single letters:
I've dotted the i's and crossed the t's.
Find all the p's in appear.
you can use an apostrophe to show the plurals of single numbers:
Find all the number 7’s.
