Who thinks we'll actually beat Seattle on Saturday?

[CPcavedweller]

Start fast and finish strong is the name of the game. 17-13

[Chrome_Seahawk]

I say we actually crush them. I am predicting a +14 win

Good luck with that, the Hawks haven't lost by more than 10 points since 2011.  I predict a good game, and a Hawks win...but hey, Any Given Sunday....it just won't be a blowout by Carolina....

[KJ89]

We will humiliate them.

[MadHatter]

Most analytics experts agree this year's Seahawks team is the best in at 7 years, maybe since the Patriots dynasty of the early '00s. There's no shame to losing to a juggernaut like this. I look at the Seahawks current roster and coaching staff and I don't see any weaknesses. But we have a great young core, we're getting out of cap hell, and we have a great GM. Don't be surprised to see us in the Super Bowl next year, but beating Seattle in Seattle on Saturday? Come on man.

 

Did those experts notice that the Seahawks have managed one damn offensive TD in 3 of the last 6 home games....and only 2 in 2 of the other 3 games?

 

Did those experts notice how the damn Raiders almost beat their ass at home?

 

Did those experts notice how the Rams were tied 6-6 with them going into the 4th in the last game of the season.

 

The Seahawks have a fantastic D and a pedestrian O......guess what, so do the Panthers right now.

 

I give us a good chance to win, but win or lose it will be a low scoring and close game.

 

 

FYI....you stop being a pessimist when you get laid for the first time.  Something for you to look forward to.

[WhoAmI?]

I just hope we don't get embarrassed and actually put up a good fight.

 

This could get out of hand fast if Cam throws an int or Bersin muffs one. We have to play a damn near perfect game. No overthrows, missed passes, drops, special team collapses, missed field goals, that one big play against our defense that Wilson always seems to manage, no ints or fumbles, etc. We have got to try and establish the run early because god knows we are going to need it.

Who are they going to pass the ball to...

 

My only worry is ST...I think that is where they have a solid advantage,

 

Run game - Even

 

Dline Slight edge to the Panthers

 

LBs - i mean lols

 

Secondary - Seattle but again they don't have any one for us to cover and we are better then we were

[Cj72]

I think the panthers will win simply because they can shut down marshawn lynch. Seahawks - lynch = not a very scary offense

That only means that you are due.......

Seattle has a low scoring ball control offense, and we have an elite defense. That makes it very likely that the Seahawks won't be able to pull away. It should be close. It could go either way depending on which team turns the ball over. We can win, but I'm not going into the game with any expectations. Should and will don't always match up in the NFL.

[R0CKnR0LLA]

One thing is for sure, we have to cut out all the dumb plays, mental mistakes, penalties and turnovers that we had in the Cardinals game. That crap isn't going to cut it on the road against Seattle. That being said, the sloppiness in that game was more of an outlier than the norm for the Panthers this season.

[MrBubba]

Panthers can win, but must play great. Run the ball (like Dallas did earlier this year), control clock, stop their run and no turnovers. Get into redzone, score TDs not FG and Panthers win

[Mother Grabber]

if Cam plays well, we win.  If we have a couple of turnovers, we lose.

 

Car O v Sea O - Car

Car D v Sea D - Push

Car ST v Sea ST - Sea

 

A bounce here or a big play there will be the difference.

[Krucid]

Our D has got to keep playing like it has been. I think this game comes down to how well Cam plays, plain and simple. Also to some extent KB needs to catch what's thrown his way.

Sounds like the last 3 meetings between these two teams.
