I live in Charlotte and am a huge Carolina Panthers fan. Even if they were my last eligible team I wouldn't pick them.
#1 - Too many injuries...
Jordan Gross (especially with a new QB in this week)
Thomas Davis (surgery yesterday)
Muhsin Muhammad is beat up
Deangalo Williams and Jonathan Stewart didn't practice today and the running game is the only offense they've got.
#2 - Fan support
The city is really down on the team right now (rightfully so) and there a bad vibe everywhere. It takes a lot for the fans to get behind their team here. Very wine and cheese and bandwagon. Makes me want to throw up every time I think about those ******ed 'Got Jake' t-shirts every cougar soccer mom had on a few years ago. In fact, on sports radio this morning to host was talking about how everyone should get behind the Saints for the playoffs.
#3 - Weather
It's going to be cold all weekend and rainy (possible snow) on Saturday. If the weather continues in Sunday I think the stadium will look like it normally does in the 3rd quarter, empty.
