Default Football fans?

American football for our users from outside of the states.

As you may have guessed from my location I am a Carolina Panthers fan. I am not some recent convert because we went to the super bowl. I've stuck with this team from the early days back when we lost the NFC Championship game to Green bay, and the entire time we played like mud (the better part of the late 90's ).

Needless to say I was happy when we got ourselves into the playoffs last Sunday.

We got into a must win situation last weekend with Atlanta after having the division wrapped up a few weeks prior. They don't call us the Cardiac Cats for nothing. Thankfully we won and managed to get ourselves a Wild Card.

The playoffs start this weekend, and it's a great time to be a football fan. I look forward to coaching my team to victory from my laz-e-boy this Sunday! :bunny:

Here are games from next weekend, post your picks (mine are at the bottom of this post).
  • Washington at Tampa Bay
  • Jacksonville at New England
  • Carolina at N.Y. Giants
  • Pittsburgh at Cincinnati

My picks:

Tampa Bay
New England
Carolina
Pittsburgh

I grew up in Jacksonville, Fl and watched as the Carolina Panthers and Jacksonville Jaguars were born back in the mid 90s. Up until the turn of the century I had been to every home Jaguar game and also every Gator Bowl in the 90s. I would love for Jaguars to meet Panthers in the SuperBowl!

Goodluck!

More of a college fan. I'm a Gamecock, as you can see from my site www.cockytalk.com.

I do pull for the Panthers and have since 1995 (is that when they came into the league?) I remember that first year when they won the first game. I was there at Clemson (ugh) for most of that first season. It was pretty awesome.

I know where you are coming from with the Clemson 'ugh', they don't take kindly to us Tar Heel fans down there in Clemson.

Washington
New England

I do not believe Pittsburg will be able to stop Palmer and Johnson and the Panthers won't be able to stop Tiki Barber.

I follow NFL and CF pretty close
