Missed Opportunities Against Seattle

[beastson]

2012 - Cam fugs up a throw to a wide open Ben Hartstock to go up 17-16. Can't Have that

 

2013 - Deangelo Williams fumbles on Carolina 8 yard line. Can't have that

 

2014 - KB drops a TD pass to go up 10-0 in the 2nd quarter. Can't have dropped passes especially dropped TD passes

 

These are all missed redzone opportunities that the Panthers killed themselves on, in all 3 games where 7 points could have won the game

They are who Carolina thinks they are. Just have to stop letting them off the hook even though people want to crown their asses.

Yep...and had the lead going into the 4th quarter in all of those games.

They are who we thought they were!

We just have to stop hurting ourselves when we play them. We can't keep making the same mistakes. I believe we have a huge shot at winning this game. We just have to show up and be discipline. We have to be tougher and more physical. We have to execute this game this time around offense and defense.

Isn't it interesting that we beat our chest at how close these games have been and each one has been at home? This is going to be an entirely different atmosphere on the road and in the playoffs. We can't be close, we have to be perfect.

Williams was stripped/fumbled in 2012 as well.

Stews fumble and Cam's fumble were also major mistakes.

Part of my confidence about the game (and yeah, obviously, I'm coming at this from a different angle than y'all) is that it's in Seattle. Since Wilson took over at QB, the Seahawks have scored about 28 points on average at home. That number is obviously skewed by a couple of blowouts like the 58-0 beatdown of the Cards in 2012, but I don't think anyone will dispute that Seattle's usually a much better team at home than they are on the road.

 

So while the Panthers have been a very tough matchup for the Seahawks the last 3 years, I think the fact that each game has been an early start in Charlotte has had an impact on the scores. Yeah, we've never scored more than 16 points on the current era Panthers, but we've only been held below 17 points twice at home in the last 3 years. Meanwhile, we've held opponents under 17 fifteen times in that timeframe (and under 10 points 9 times). I'm not suggesting this game is going to be won by double-digits or anything, but I honestly think the change in venue is going to have an impact.

best believe the Panthers know this

Don't forget the botched exchange by Cam and Stewart that was a turnover on the 10 yard line earlier this year.

We dominated that game in the 1st half and had virtually nothing to show for it

I feel like you can say that about most of our games. We can certainly move the ball it's coming away with the points that needs to be fixed
