The Seahawks have owned our fat asses for the past half decade, but those bastards haven't seen the new-look panthers

[Mol3m4n]

For the record... our asses are not THAT fat.

If there is one thing fat about me, it's my ass. I would argue muscle though.

[Byrdman4real]

This poo got me hype. Let's go

[Paa Langfart]

Awesome post Philly B and I dont use that word ever

[FattyFatFat]

I have more of a flat ass, but my man titties are HUGE.

[Lumps]

Depends are very comfortable thank you very much

This sets up as a reverse 49ers situation. Last year we go in and beat them in a hard fought game in SF when they were injured and depleted. They came back in the playoffs with a hot team and healthy roster and won on our field.

Prepare your buttholes, Seattle.

That was a great write-up, Philly. You were cordial, self-depricating, friendly and very knowledgeable...

 

...and then you were met with posters from 2013 and 2014 with dismissive one-liners that added nothing to the discussion.

 

I like the Seahawks. They have the roster and the style of play that we are finally building towards correctly with Gettleman. But man, that bandwagon is about as bad as the post-Katrina, pre-Bountygate window the Saints had. I really hope if we are fortunate enough to experience the same level of success the wagon doesn't get that bad, but I guess it comes with the territory.

The Seahawks will be in for a rude awakening when they see the best running game and best defense in the NFL at this moment in the game. Seattle's defense gave up 250 yards of offense to the Cardinals on average. The Panthers defense gave up 78 yards. Use that as a bench mark for what is to come on Saturday.

A rude awakening?  The best running game and best defense in the NFL "at this moment in the game"?  I'm sorry, but respectfully, it is YOU who is in for a Rude awakening.  Take a look to see who led the LEAGUE for the ENTIRE YEAR for both of those team statistics.  In both cases it was the SEAHAWKS who are #1.  The Hawks averaged 172.6 yard rushing per game which is 24.5 yards higher than 2nd place (Dallas with 147.1, Carolina was #7 @ 127.3).  For defense, the Hawks only gave up an average of 267.1 yards a game which is 33.8 yards better than the 2nd place team (Detroit with 300.9.  Carolina was 10th at 339.8 ypg).  Rushing defense-wise, the Hawks were #3 @ 81.4ypg (the KC game really killed them) while Carolina was #16 @ 112 ypg.  By any of these measures, the Hawks were demonstrably better than the Panthers, while playing a tougher schedule (Seattle's final SOS was top 2 in the league while Carolina's was towards the middle (I've seen rankings between 14-18).

 

Even if you take into account the current win streaks for both teams the Hawks are leading in all categories:

 

During the Hawks current 6 game win streak, the Hawks are averaging:

Rushing:170 ypg

Passing: 222 ypg

Total Defense: 202 ypg

 

During the Panthers 5 game win streak, the Panthers are aveaging:

Rushing: 167 ypg

Passing: 209 ypg

Total Defense: 234 ypg

 

Things get even uglier when you look at Rushing Defense over the win streaks - the Hawks have only given up an average of 69 ypg during their win streak, while the Panthers have given up 83.

 

Based on all of the above, and the fact that the Hawks are playing at home, it isn't hard to predict that the Hawks will have more success in all facets of the game...even the ones that you guys seem to think favor you.

In all seriousness, I have no idea where this bandwagon talk is coming from - the Hawks have sold out every game since 2003....Certainly a few people may have jumped on the Seahawks bandwagon in the Super Bowl, but the vast majority of posters on Seahawks.Net have been there for years.  There may be some confusion of join dates because the forum broke off of the Scout.com network a few years back.

It's not about "sellouts," it's about Philly trying to talk football and literally all he's met with is "WE ARE ON A DIFFERENT LEVEL!" "YOU CAN'T WIN AGAINST THE TWELFTH MAN!" instead of "We have a mobile quarterback and efficient offense that limits mistakes and a defense that is physical and creates mistakes for the opposition."

 

Obviously, we lack the personnel and depth because we are a rebuilding team that roster wise should have been for all intents and purposes be looking at Amari Cooper right now, but we play virtually the exact same style of football, albeit with much poorer offensive coaching, which is why the games have been close in Charlotte. At least that gives us a puncher's chance, although I don't expect a victory.

 

If any team should know about winning in the playoffs with a losing record from a bad division it should be the team whose dynasty started thanks to a win in 2010.

fun fact: Panthers RB Jonathan Stewart was born 30 miles from SEA's stadium and went to high school 60 miles from SEA's stadium. He had more rushing yards over the last month of the regular season than anyone but the Cowboys’ DeMarco Murray and added 123 yards against the Cardinals

Around the NFL Chris Wesseling @ ChrisWesseling 5d

Jonathan Stewart is second in the NFL in rushing over the

past 5 weeks. Jeremy Hill, C.J. Anderson tied for third.
