Cakewalk...

[Boxhead85]

According to Chris Simms, we'll beat Arizona but Seattle's matchup against us will be a cakewalk for the defending Super Bowl Champs. Apparently, he doesn't know how well we've played them in year's past. Additionally, he should know as a former player that no game is ever a cakewalk.

I don't expect any analysts/media heads to pick us for any game past Arizona.  Even if we beat the wheels off of Arizona, the story will be because of their 3rd string QB, and their defense faltering in the last 1/4 of the season.  If we win Sat., nobody will be too surprised.  Anything after that will be shockers.

Seattle in Seattle is a whole different beast than playing here at 10 am (west coast time)

Seattle doesn't scare me like they used to. We have played them enough that I bet they don't make our players or coaching staff nervous either.

What a cakewalk huh? This team is much better than the October team that lost 13 - 9. Much better. How much better? The October Panthers lost to the Saints 28 - 10. The December Panthers beat the Saints 41- 10. It's all there for the taking. Cakewalk my ass.

Chris Simms is still sore from the Panthers destroying his spleen all those years ago.  Figuratively and literally.

I have a feeling that we will easily beat Arizona. Beyond that? I don't know. Hope that I am right about tomorrow's game. If I am, then we finally have given them pay back for destroying us in 09.

Agreed....but Seahawks are better now too.

If we beat Arizona, everything else is gravy

how about we be humble as we head into our matchup against arizona.

Good god some of you will have a meltdown if we lose

[Peppers90 NC]

All of the Hawks coordinators are being interviewed for HC jobs. Maybe that will throw them off a little.

Last week I said this same thing and was condescendingly told "I didn't know fans played."

While obvious, it is idiotic to look past your next opponent. I saw and heard SO many Falcons fans wondering who their Wild Card opponent would be as if they didn't even have to face us...and look at what happened.

 

I say everyone needs to focus on this game, I've seen too much in the media about the inevitable upset (which normally sets your team up for failure.) but hey "we don't play."

It did for us with McDermott last year, one could argue.
