Keys to Victory - Seahawks at Panthers

[rayzor]

Carroll (in todays Seattle paper) saying he's sticking with Wilson for the start Sunday, over Matt Flynn....which means gobs of people wearing NCSU shirts pulling for the 'Hawks.....Hope I'm wrong. Cats are pizzed.....

Carolina 31

Seattle 17

i got this little suspicion that at the last moment flynn will get the ok to start....or if things aren't going their way that wilson will get pulled and flynn will step in.

i'm not really crazy about that at all but we really don't have a good record against backup or replacement QBs.

#1 Key To Victory.......

GO FOR IT WHEN THE FUGGIN GAME IS ON THE LINE!!!!!!!

And if we didnt make that 4th &1, what would've been said. We put them on the one yard line. The odds were against the Falcons getting down field.

what was the guarantee that we would put them on the 1?

next sunday is going to be a 3 hour long marshawn lynch highlight reel.

from rotoworld...

Coach Pete Carroll said Marshawn Lynch "continues to just be rock solid for us."

So far, the Seahawks are thrilled with their $31 million investment. Due in part to an inept passing game, they've run the ball 56 percent of the time overall and 66 percent on first downs. Despite that predictability, Lynch is averaging a healthy 4.59 yards per carry and leads the league in rushing yards. He figures to pad his stats in a dream matchup against the Panthers Sunday.

some of you have way too much faith in stopping a guy who's only goal is to not be stopped.

[La Pantera]

There wasn't. But if you don't make the converion, you would be giving them the ball near mid-field. If you punt they have to drive farther with less time. Hindsight is 20/20. Looking back on the result we souldve went for it. But if we would've went for it and didn't make it, everyone would be screaming we should've punted.

what does his goal have to do with anything?

as if there are any running backs who have a goal of being stopped anyway.

Your saying our 6'5" QB cant get 1 yard? Quit playing the what if game...... When you need a win, the ball shouldnt be in the other teams hands.

lynch is leading the league in rushing yardage but is 2nd in the league in carries. 4.6 yards per carry, but 4.0 or less in two of them.

point is, with that many carries he should have that many yards.

even with that...he's pretty much their whole offense. the damage he can do is minimal if the panthers offense is clicking and the defense shuts down at least wilson and the passing game and there is nothing scary about that passing game.

Week 1, "Vincent Jakcson" is gonna burn us". Wrong.

Week 2, "Jimmy Graham is going to be dunking on our goal post all day". Only did it once.

Week 3, everyone got burnt.

Week 4, "Julio Jones is gonna but rape Josh Norman's little anus LOL" Wrong.

Week 5, "Marshawn Lynch won't be stopped cuz it's his goal!"

[CLEARHOT]

I'm sure somwhere in the Seattle Tacoma metro area there's Seahawks fans saying: "Man..Carolinas going to be out for blood. After what happened in Atlanta, they'll be unstoppable!".....And so it goes. BTW we stop Lynch, we stop the 'Hawks.

[4Corners]

Everyone knocks the Seahawks win against GB because of the officials, yet fail to mention how tough the Seattle defense is. They were all over Rogers that game and IIRC they 8+ sacks. They held that offense to 12 freaking points and Seattle has the best secondary you've never heard of.

Seattle 17

Panthers 13

[Kuech the Sneak]

We had one decent game in run D against Doug Martin...we've been getting completely gashed by average running backs...Michael turner averaged 8 yards a carry and he's supposed to be washed up

[4Corners]

Guys I hate break it to y'all but they aren't going to stop Lynch. What on earth makes u believe that they will?

Let Lynch get his just don't let anyone else beat you. Defense has to get turnovers in this game or it will be another long week for the huddle and the Fire Rivera list grows longer.
