Top 3 reasons why Carolina will beat the Seahawks

[hepcat]

Can't wait for the game, although I'm not as optimistic as you.  While you might be right about the defense, I expect to see a game similar to Week 1 last year.  Panthers offense comes out flat, lose a low scoring defensive battle.

I really Feel sorry for their little bitty QB ............Greg Hardy    Charles Johnson    Star and Short   I wonder if any of them survive.

#6 , 7, & 8.

Keuchly, Davis, & Beason.

[Gucci Mane]

#9 STEVE MOTHER FUGGING SMITH vs RICHARD SHERMAN...

 

This year will be different since we have another weapon to blow the lid off the defense and keep the safeties from rolling over and clouding smittys roam.

Im guessing Luke would know Wilson better than any other lb in the league.

He has played him more than any other.

(Including college of course.)

Also keep in mind when we played them, Chud was still in full retard mode and we werent running the power type offense yet that we ran the 2nd part of the year.

Also, the Seahawks are suspect at home and this game will be jet lag game for them. Remember last time we played them at 4:15 so the jet lag wasnt as bad for them, this time around it will be 10:00 AM for them. And also, the whole lightning strikes twice thing. I just dont see them beating us at home twice in a row.

Ted Ginn will play a factor, mark my word.

Luke Keuchly and Star Lotuleilei will make us the most dominant run defense in the league. The Seahawks game plan will rest on the shoulders of Russel Wilson. Then it is just a game of Panther and mouse between Wilson and our pass rush.

 

1. Luke Keuchly

2.Cam Newton

3.Home Field advantage. I'm looking at you Panther fans!

The Seahawks are a very small/quick defense. This concerns me because our top RB right now is Deangelo Williams and both our backups are speed guys. What I want to see is a healthy Tolbert running people over. I want to see us establish a power run up the gut. We can't beat them around the edge unless our big boys can pull well. Amini was probably our best pulling guard and he looks like a scratch.

[KendrickPanther]

Probably the single most important factor. The thing that cost us more wins than anything last year: coaching decisions. We need to call timeouts at the correct times. We need to go for it or play conservative at the correct times. When its 3rd and goal from the 7 we need Mike Shula to call a decent play. I absolutely hate the fade because our best fade runner is 5'9". I see coordinators go to this play over and over again and it never works. It didn't even work in the Super Bowl with Mike Crabtree.

This should be a game for the classics. One hellofagame! Dam ! I am excited for the new season.

My #1 reason: Luke Kuechly

 

Why? The last time we played Seattle, that was the first time Kuechly played MLB. Kuechly had a very good game then, but over that course till now he has gotten better, smarter, and more comfortable. I'll take Kuechly over Wilson.

I think our D is going to be nasty this year. Top 3 nasty.

[Kuech the Sneak]

I'm excited to see this defense against a good offense, and especially a good running back with a downhill running attack.
