Seahawk Fans Expecting Blowout in Week 1

[TheGreatestOfAllTimeCam]

I think seattle covers the 3 or so it will be at game time. But barely.

[Frank Hollywood]

I also got into a conversation about week 1 with a Seattle fan. He said we are an up and coming team because we have jake locker. I told him no, we have cam newton. He said "oh, you need to get rid of him, he's garbage". All I could do is laugh.

The only blowout that's going to happen in this game is the one Jimmy Clausen's going to be sporting when he comes out of the tunnel

I'll be surprised if their offense can manage as much as 13 points against our defense. The problem is that I don't know how our offense is going to score any points against their defense. Our weak run blocking and Cam's wild passes are a recipe for disaster. Last season with the game on the line Cam thew the ball into the turf when trying to hit a wide open receiver in the end zone. Cam is unpredictable, so who knows what to expect. If Cam brings it, and our o-line can play with fire and passion and open some rushing lanes, then I think we could actually blow them out. But otherwise I think it's going to be a low scoring mess like last season.

Seahawk fan here, to hopefully clear up some misconceptions:
 

1) Seahawk fans in general, are NOT overlooking this game. In fact, quite the opposite. Tough, up and coming opponent, on the road, still shaking off the rust, etc. Tough way to start out the season. 

2) To those referencing the Green Bay game as a point of emphasis, consider this: Green Bay was playing at home, still resentful from the "Fail Mary" from last year, and they didn't even bother to hide the fact that they game planned for a preaseason game. That much was obvious when Aaron Rodgers came out the gate in a no huddle offense, and on GB's first defensive series, threw exotic blitzes at a very vanilla, Seattle offense. 

3) Seahawk road woe's? Not really, if you consider more than just wins and losses (4 wins, 6 losses, including playoffs). I bet a lot of you didn't realize that the most Seattle lost a game by all last year, was 7 points: on the road against the 49ers. Every single loss last year was 1 score away from being a tie/victory.

4) Tough to compare the Seahawks that played Carolina last year to the team they are now: the Seahawks have improved across the board, most dramatically on offense. Russell Wilson's coming out party wasn't until week 13 in Chicago, when he led not 1, but 2 game winning drives (due to a defensive blunder that lead to OT). The Seahawks put up 150 points in the next 3 games (including 42 against the 49ers D). Food for thought. 

All the above said, I still think this game is low scoring, as it was last year, and the winner will be the team that stops the run, and doesn't commit penalties. The good news there for Panther fans, is that the Seahawks D-Line is extremely beat up/thin right now. It will be interesting to see if the depth on the Seahawks D-Line can handle the Carolina running attack. 

Anyway, good luck! Here's to no season ending injuries in the coming game!

Well I think we've improved across the board as well, but it'll definitely be a low scoring game. Agreeing with the poster above I don't know how we're gonna score any points on their D

The way we lost to Seattle last year still pisses me off so much. It's going to be a tough game, but I think we'll win. If we were playing in Seattle I would concede the loss already, but playing at home and knowing how important it is for us to start strong after 4 straight seasons of starting the season off bad... we should get this victory. 

[Carolinaboy1979]

Go check your facts Corky......Carolina has had leads in almost every game over the past two years.

 

You get pie just for the "Life Goes On" reference alone. Well done sir....

Its an awkward feeling when an other teamer makes a first post here that is of higher quality than some of our regulars have made in years.

Damn, cat got up in that ass.

First of all I admitted it was a cheap shot but it surely happened and Newton did screw up by trying to get extra yards because he didn't know where he was on the field and spun instead of fell down. But that was ancient history. As for Newton rushing that is a big part of his game. If Newton could throw like Brady Peyton or Brees he probably wouldn't run so much either.

Honestly I can't really tell the difference between Cam's throwing ability and that of those guys. Neither of those guys have a limited OL and WR corps. Newton still put up almost equivalent numbers. Not following what you're trying to say. Remember, somebody had to get open and catch those footballs those guys throw.

So Bruce Irving , Chris Clemons, Jessie Williams Arent playing and Cliff avril Is dealing with Injuries at the moment also.. I think they are a little mistaken ... Those subtractions from their defense is going to hurt them!

I see your thin Dline and raise you our paper thin Oline. I'm probably the least optimistic fan on this board right now because of a few things: coaching, oline, and our schedule starting with Seattle. One edge is I do feel that Seattle players are looking at that 9er game as week 1 though. Also, Seattle got hot late. Prior to that streak you guys were average. A lot factors into a winning streak. Like Seattle, just about every loss we have had in the last two years has been by 7 or less. So the Hawks better come prepared is all I'm saying. Good luck. I hope you guys stomp a hole in the 9ers twice this year. It would be nice to see that bandwagon fan base shut up.
