Media is setting Seattle up for beatdown

Like the Panthers needed any extra motivation to beat the Seahawks next week, but the NFL media and social media are adding fuel to Panthers fire.

Many in the media are downplaying the Panthers 4-0 start as nothing more then being a byproduct of an easy schedule. The Panthers are starting to show they're growing tired of this narrative as indicitive of some of their answers to that question in recent press conferences.

Some pundits openly doubt the Panthers can succeed vs the second quarter of their schedule, that starts with Seattle. Yahoo sports Frank Shwabb has  the Seahawks and the Bills ranked ahead of Carolina in his latest power rankings, going as far as to predict the Panthers will be the only currently undefeated team to miss the playoffs entirely.

I know we've not faired to well against the Seahawks in the recent past, but I feel this is the Panthers year to clear that hurdle, and after October the 18th Seattle may request that the media not do them anymore favors by marginalizing future foes again.

Panthers 24

Seahawks 10

If any game mattered the most in this season. I believe this is it. Going in after a bye week, were we've not faired well in the Rivera Era. Going against our nemesis, Seattle that has had our number for several years. All the games we've played in the regular season against them have been close and been literally decided by not only 7 points or less but that one play that could have won it for us. 

 

This is going to be a test..I expect nothing but greatness from this squad come Sunday the 18th.

Before everyone says we suck after the bye week a 100 more times answer me this. Have we ever been 4-0 under Rivera before? 

Exactly. This is uncharted territory and we have already gotten off to a fast start which is uncharacteristic of Rivera teams. Well this team is going to win after the bye aswell and spank that seachicken ass.l

I remember the image of Cam watching the Hawks come out of the tunnel during the playoff game. And of course that pick 6 at the end of the game. There's no way he comes out and lays an egg. Certainly we can lose this game. But I believe Cam is going to ball out and get that W.

I just hope to God when Wilson is forced out of the pocket and scrambles and then throws a 40 yard bomb, and it floats up there and hangs, that someone can get into position and pick that poo off! He is the luckiest bastard when he throws it up like that, surely we can get someone into position!

Hey Russell this is Josh, but you can call him Mr. Norman.

I've been predicting that we'll beat Seattle & Indy out of this upcoming stretch.  (Not sure about Philly... would be a wonderful surprise if we can beat Green Bay, but not expecting it.)

I'm thinking 20 - 17 Panthers in Seattle with 3 or 7 of our points coming off of a Seattle turnover.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
