Behold, a playoff edition of Ask The Old Guy (a phrase I've never typed), in which we discuss the excitement across the city, the game itself, what it all means, the run game, lucky socks, the power of connection and community, and of course, special guests.

The Panthers haven't done this here in a decade. And you can tell people are fired up about. But there are so many things to discuss, and you had lots (and lots) of questions.
