I love it. Panthers beat them in the regular season and put them in a hole that they had to spend the rest of the season clawing their way out of. They manage to pull it off then go into Minnesota and win in the wildcard round. But then they come to Carolina and get knocked out. Its a whole perfect circle of hubris and schadenfreud.

What's this modeling ourselves after the Seahawks poo?we made some changes for sure after losing to them but the changes weren't to be like them, it was to beat them...which we did. And all we did was change what we were looking for in our secondary. As far as scheme and philosophy on defens we have been consistent from the beginning only getting better. On offense it was always going to be built around cam....you know,  the guy we took with the first pick overall, well before wilson was drafted.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Seriously. This poo pisses me off too. I think they say it to make themselves feel better.

The Patriots interception in the end zone to end SB49 haunts Seahawks fans to this very day...

SB50 was Seattle's only road to redemption.

Panthers crushed those dreams.

Yeah, that was a big deal.

As to us being patterned after them, Seattle's MO against good teams is to look lousy for the first two to three quarters, hang around just enough to be close, and then pull something out of their ass near the end.

We're nothing like that.

They don't understand that the torch has been passed. They were the Detroit bad boys and we are the Michael Jordon bulls. They had a couple good years but they were a road block for us. We bulldozed them and are going for our first super bowl. The most exciting part is that we will be better next year with the return of Kelvin Benjamin, the return of our injured players, the draft which we have nailed every year Gettleman has been here. The growth of our rookies Shaq Thompson and Devin Funchess along with Daryl Williams and Cameron artist payne. Carolina shouldn't lose any major free agent components this offseason (Gettleman will find a way to keep them) and the growth of Cam Newton who is a completely different quarterback from the first 8 weeks to the last 8 weeks.

Cam Newton first 8 weeks
 
Completion percentage-53.85
 
Yards-1820
 
 Passing Touchdowns-16
 
Interceptions-9
 
Rushing touchdowns-5
 
Cam Newtons last 8 weeks
 
Completion percentage-67.36
 
Yards-2017
 
Passing touchdowns-21
 
Interceptions-1
 
Rushing touchdowns-5

The numbers don't lie that Cam Newton took his game to a whole different galaxy in terms of elite play.  He was being compared to Colin Kaeprnick in the first half of the year but such comparisons were foolish and only now look down right comical. You could make an argument that Cam Newton's receivers were making catches (Funchess, brown, ginn) with less drops or that Cam Newton was playing weaker defenses during this stretch (a mute argument considering Cam newton played against 2 top 5 defenses and pounded them.) Though honestly it should be the development of Cam Newton that is the biggest factor. Cam Newton is the undisputed MVP of the NFL because he has mastered the nuances of being an NFL quarterback.

Cam Newtons stats against 2 top 5 defenses in the playoffs.

Completion percentage-70%

touchdowns-5

interceptions-1

yards-496

What was the point of all this talk about Cam Newton and the changing of the guard of the top NFC teams Carolina and Seattle? Cam Newton has developed into the quarterback we dreamed he could be and Seattle's days of dominance are done. They may win the division or go to the playoffs but they are going to be second fiddle to Carolina. Carolina will be a better team next year not only because of the infusion of more young talent and a dominant core that will still be intact but because Cam Newton has arrived.

awesome breakdown.

70% completion against elite playoff defenses is MVP worthy.

Well that was certainly Seahawks MO against us these last few years... and it worked until recently.

All the more reason why I'm expecting the Panthers to have a dominant performance against the Broncos, running up the score early in the first half and not let off the gas in the second.

I am hoping for a John Madden/Tom Flores type of Super Bowl outcome.

To echo the points of @alliesend their like the Pistons walking off the court against the Bulls and not shaking their hands. Their mad because their time is over and our has just begun. When they signed up to be Seahawks fans in 2013 they probably thought they'd be going to the superbowl every year.....sucks to be them
