Official Seattle Seahawks at Carolina Panthers predictions thread!

Panthers are a different team at home.  If at Seatle I would say we lose, but at home we win convincingly.

33-17

Just want my kids to have a good Christmas

We go down early, Gano misses another XP, Wilson runs for 75+ yards, we come back to get the lead/tie, Wilson marches down the field with the clock under 2 minutes, our defense looks like poo, they score as time expires.

This is almost certainly going to happen.

That is why the Panthers need to get the lead early and keep adding to it for four full quarters, rather than killing their momentum by trying to run time off the clock with unproductive offensive play calls.

My head says Seattle but I just cannot pick against Cam Hewton at home no matter how incompetent the defense is

panthers 35  Seattle 34    Newton leads a come from behind victory 

defense is still porous

panthers play better without Funchess 

panthers play ‘sweet Caroline ‘

Hawks 30-27.  Our defense blows.

Three straight

I think we lose every game the rest of the season except to the Browns and the Saints’ backups in Week 17. That said, I’ll gladly eat crow if we kick Seattle’s asses Sunday. I just don’t see a scenario where the defense, offense and special teams are in sync long enough to do so. And if they are, I don’t see Rivera being smart enough to capitalize...

What is sad is this defense on paper should be top ten but they're not. Will anything change on the Dline? Will Obada, Horton or Addison go Super Saiyan?!? Don't think so. Do Poe and KK work well together? Who gets the double team these days? If the front four plays anything like they have we'll get gashed. Their run game will beast and ol' Russ will beast and humiliate this defense. I'm thrilled about watching a 38yr old Pep still doing Pep things. That's it. The national media has all the respect in the world for our linebackers. Dline? .........
 

Eric Washington? Blitz more. Get help from others in the building even Norv. You don't have a terror like Greg was on the other side of Pep. That's a huge problem when trying to seal the edge. Your tackles are getting pushed aside these days. The DE's aren't getting there. No pressure unless the unicorn JP does his thing. Come at me with sack #'s and I'll tell you that last game I saw Pep chase a guy into your arms. I'm talking about being disruptive as a DE in the NFL, those are few and far between. We've got what we've got. Will they figure it out? Will they put Moore and Samuel on the field together most of the game and throw to Greg Olsen? I don't know.

Dang, dang, dang!!!

32-28. Visitors

Yep there will be some early success but then in the 4th quarter the team will just fold like a cheap lawn chair that we are so accustomed to seeing them do.

Panthers come out flat, claw back into it in the 4th, Seattle pulls away behind their potent rushing attack. Panthers don't have a chance in this one, the season is over.

I'd love to see Ron get the team fired up and turn the offense loose to run up the score against Sunday's opponent.  

Unfortunately, I've hope d this would happen for years and have come to the conclusion that Ron's nature is to be overly cautious until desperation sets in, at which time he becomes unnecessarily reckless with his decision making.
