It is more like Cam Newton screwed his mother and left her for dirt. And no one is disparaging the Seahawks --- the only one who is knocking a team is you with Panthers. And it is coming off as nonsensical hate.
They're not historically great this season. The run they went on to end the season that looks great on paper? Let me list a few things real quick: Alex Smith Drew Stanton Colin Kapernick Mark Sanchez Colin Kapernick Ryan Lindley Shaun Hill Not exactly Tom Brady, Andrew Luck, Aaron Rodgers, and Peyton Manning in a row right there. Is Carolina the best team in the NFL? No. Not even close, but they match up pretty good defensively against Seattle and took Seattle to the ropes last time they played. Why you're looking at it as a 100% free win is what isn't being understood. SEA is certainly the better overall team but the NFL isn't about who the better team is, it never has been, the NFL is entirely matchup based. Were the 2007 or even 2011 Giants better than the Patriots? No. But they matched up well against them and thats all that matters in this league. GB went 15-1 back in 2011 and was bounced out of the playoffs in their first game, were the Giants a better team in general? No, but they matched up great against GB. Welcome to the NFL, the games are played for a reason.
