Steve Smith is the difference.
Panthers.
They have a good, balanced offense that should be able to put up something against the Bears' D, but the Bears are so one-dimensional on offense that I think the Panthers will have a field day with turnovers when Grossman has to start throwing the ball. That Panthers D is nothing to sneeze at.

Da Bears win! - and take the over.
Carolina beat the snot out of the Giants last week. I don't see a major difference between the Bears and Giants. Panthers win on the road again with better offense.

The surprise of the postseason so far--- the Bears in a rout.
Whoever wins though, they go down in Seattle. Man, the 'Hawks picked the perfect year to get homefield advantage. They'll go to the Super Bowl after hosting two subpar offenses.

It's amazing that Steve Smith is the only threat on the Carolina offense and no one can stop him. He's lighting up the best defense in the league.

if there was no facemask call, that would have been a touchback on tj

not that it mattered, because the bears scored the TD anyway...

a CAR TD, but Kasy slips on the XP.
CAR only up 8 now

Yeah but if that guy doesnt grab his facemask its a TD anyways. Thats why its a personal foul, TJ eludes and breaks the tackle, defender grabs his facemask.
Doesnt matter, Bears lose. Defense played out of character today. Mike Brown getting hurt is the biggest reason IMO. So you cant blame their offense.

I love it! The Bears defense was talking smack all week and Steve Smith absolutely owned them today. Good to see that low-life Thomas Jones going home too.

Everyone in the Party crowd I watched the game with saw a double face mask on that play. Thomas Jones grabs the defenders facemask in a modified stiff arm and the defender grabs back. Totally blown call by the refs. Missed the dual foul. Blew the fumblw forward into the end zone. Refs suck bad.

The one thing that struck me in this game until they FINALLY called it was Delhomme drawing the Bears offsides by moving his left hand prior to the snap. The series they finally called it on he'd got the Bears offsides twice by doing it before they finally called it on Delhomme. You could hear the Bears players screaming "he's moving his hand". Seemed to me part of the reason the Bears pass rush was controlled is the players were so afraid of jumping offsides because they were letting Delhomme get away with that.
Smith is amazing, how can he twice end up in single coverage with the DB falling down leaving him uncovered for a TD?

Guess I didn't notice it, but I would think that is allowable. Just gotta watch the ball from the center.Russ Smith said:
Smith is a phenom. The guy makes moves that have DBs out of position. I imagine from here on out they will not be playing tight man to man coverages. What were the safeties doing? Bad D calls by the Bears.

What Delhomme was doing is illegal, he was dropping his hand to "feign" catching the snap, he wasn't pointing or directing his OL the way Manning does, he was simulating a snap with one hand. When they finally called it you could see the smile on his face, he knew they'd caught him but that it had served its purpose to that point in the game.
