Has the beat Seattle ship already sailed?

Let's face facts.  Zod knew upon the departure of DeAngelo Williams the board would be lacking in threads that irritated the masses.  He had to go outside and recruit some new talent.

Grass ain't always greener on the other side of the fence now is it?

Bet you guys would love a good "Why on Earth did we run Williams 20 times for 20 1 yard gains last week" thread about now...Well, sorry.  That ship has sailed.

Is it national pirate day or something?

 

And Rayzor, I'm sorry, I know you tried to keep everybody from "attacking" PU, but he wore you down too. lol

he just makes it too easy for people and he gives them plenty of opportunities. low hanging fruit.

Yes I get the whole notion of "any given sunday" yes I know in the NFL anything can happen and any team can win, I get the cliches, I really do  I understand the excitement of the upcoming matchup and a undyimg desire of wanting to beat this team. I hear some fans say that "if we dont beat Seattle now, then we never will." One simple question remains however, has that ship already sailed? Are we already past that point? Are we already at the point where the Panthers are just doomed to keep losing to the Seahawks?

Lets look no further than last year. Last year we faced a reeling 3-3 Seahawks team filled with distractions.. The Marshawn Lynch distraction on if he would return the following year. The Percy Harvin trade distraction just 2 weeks prior to playing us. The distraction of Russell Wilson not being liked by some in the locker room. Remember "black enoughgate?" Whispers swirling around the league that some Seahawks players didnt like Wilson and didnt think he was "black enough." Amid all this, THIS was the end all be all game to finally take down the 3-3 Seahawks against the ropes and at home in Charlotte.. If there was a ripe time to take down Seattle, we had it on a silver platter, ofcourse, we all know the end result of that game.

I know this might be considered a debbie downer post, but I promise my intent is not to kill spirits or bring the mood down, I just wonder a simple question.. Why now? Yes I get the "on paper" stuff.. On paper our D line should dominate their bad O line, on paper Olsen should be able to expose Chancellor, on paper we should contain a hobbled Lynch, I get the football aspects on why we should beat them, but unfortunately, for reasons unknown and things that cant be explained, all that stuff seems to fly out the window when it comes to beating Seattle.

I know some of you dont believe me but I promise im just a realist, im not a negative nancy or debbie downer.. Hell, just go back and look at my previous posts when we played the Bucs and Saints, I know many of you saw my "Saints is a guaranteed win" posts or the post I made in real time during the 3rd QTR of the Bucs game already doing a victory lap, I certainly wasnt being negative then was I? I  was 100% confident we would man handle both those teams and I posted aplenty about it.. Unfortunatley however, I am of the opinion the "beat Seattle" ship has sailed. Just like I was ecstatic I was wrong about Luke's situation, I would love nothing more than to be wrong again come  Sunday night. 

Tell the truth are you the guy that used to post at an inferior site called PantherTrain?

    • Soooo many bad turnovers again. Luckily Martin played well.  
    • Yes. Cade 100% tripped and pitched it to Mafah.  That’s not in dispute.  We agree on that.  Mafah got the ball, fell to the ground and then attempted to complete the rest of the play….which was the lateral to the WR on the end around.  You are calling the lateral from Mafah to the end around WR the ball popping up.   It was whistled dead.   Then they ran another play.  the review then awarded the ball to SC after we ran another play for what happened after a play was whistled dead.   How does that part work lol?  How do you recover a ball if a play was whistled dead for a downed player prior to a recovery?  I think the refs screwed Clemson twice.   That’s not why they lost.  Please don’t think that is my argument.   They lost because Cade chocked and panicked at the end.  They lost because Sellers should have been put on the ground for a loss countless times and they didn’t.  They lost because our over loyal Dabo wouldn’t bench his favorite hurt RB.    Clemson lost for lots of reasons. SC deserved to win.  Those calls were bad though IMO.  They exist in every game. 
    • I can’t recall an NBA team with this many injuries.  It’s getting absurd at this point
