Dear Seahawks fans who just tried to register...

[Zod]

Your account was probably not validated.

 

We only entertain opposing fans who have the guts to talk before the game. Opposing fans cowardly enough to only register after the game are fairly useless to us.

thanks, zod.

Cheers

We have a usefulness requirement now?

Crap.

[Herbert The Love Bug]

Lol I was wondering where all the trash talkers were

[PanthersClinic]

They were probably just too busy before the game. I highly doubt many Seahawks fans were worried about the matchup for week 1.

[SCP]

They really can't talk too much smack after squeaking out a 12-7 win.

Having been to Seahawks.net and Reddit since the game ended, Seahawks fans have been very classy. They have also been very complimentary of our team and it looks like we earned a lot of respect yesterday.

 

Examples from Reddit:

 

Ahoy!

Just wanted to pop over and say gg. I was on the edge of my seat the whole game. Honestly, I think the Carolina front 7 is so damn good. I'm so jealous of the pass rush you guys were able to generate.

The ejection was kinda weird. Breno is kind of a bruiser (he had ~6 personal foul penalties in the first half of last year, but has cleaned that up) and I'm sure he said or did something suspect. Still, even after the flag I was surprised at the ejection.

Anyway, there have been a couple of Panthers fans posting over in /r/seahawks and they have all been classy. I hope that's the vast majority of your fanbase. (there's always a few loons in every group - especially on the nets)

All in all, I hope that no one was seriously injured and both teams have a great season.

Oh - I used to think Steve Smith was a jerkyjerkface, but I honestly think he's just an extreme competitor and I wish he was on our team. He's awesome.

 

 

Seahawks fan here, your D is legit scary and you'll make some noise in the NFC south this year I guarantee it.

 

 

Hey guys, Seahawks fan here. I'm not usually into the whole "enemy" fans visiting other subreddits thing and being friendly but...

Holy poo. You guys owned Marshawn Lynch today. It's been said many times, but DAMN! Your front seven are badass!

Also: Cam and Smitty looked good, and there's no way that Olsen gets nearly so many drops in the future as in this game.

I think you guys have enough talent this year that Rivera cannot fug up the season. I think you guys will win the NFC South. I mean that! No other team in your division has the offense + defense in one package.

Anyway, it was a nailbiter, and that means it was a really good game. Watch out NFC South!

 

 

 

And from Seahawks.net

 

Your D line looked awesome today. You guys have a very bright future.

 

 

Man, Salute. Your team is legit, gave us hell on the best part of our team by stuffing the run, Cam looks a lot sharper than he has ever looked.

NFC South should be on notice, Panthers are good.

 

 

Great game, and a more than fantastic showing for that Carolina Defense. Wow.

Cam looked patient and took what the 'hawks gave him. Unfortunately, Carolina came up a little short. Plenty of games left, and I can see that squad winning a lot of games down the road.

I agree. Seahawks were on point yesterday too. Was a real brawl.

[dave-o]

Maybe they wanted to thank Charlotte for its hospitality...  The group of Seahawks fans in front of us went on and on about our city...  They were season ticket holders in Seattle...

Our only hope.

Edit: There are sore winners in every fan base, glad you blocked those fools from misrepresenting what seems like an overwhelmingly classy fan base.

Sorry but I fit that bill.  I registered after the game because I belong to Seahawks.NET and they mentioned you guys and I wanted to extend my sincere wishes for a good season the rest of the way.  We had a few classy Panthers fans show up to congratulate us on the win.  Always refreshing versus the usual smack talking sore losers we all come across.  

 

I've been a diehard Seahawks fan since they came into the league in 1976.  So you can imagine I've had my share of heartache.  This year may be THE year but who knows?  The Panthers was a valid scare for us on the schedule, especially being on the road, 10am (yes that's a factor for us) in that Carolina heat.  Then, when you add to the mix that you guy's are actually GOOD (especially that front 7, WOW), we knew we were in for a battle.

 

I don't think the game disappointed in that regard.  I thought Cam and your offense was pretty sound, more so than last year.  A good mix up.  A play here or there and this could easily have gone the other way.

 

Keep your heads up, you have a good team and a defense that will be a force to reckon with for sure.

 

See you down the road!  Good luck and good health!

I just could not help but feel like Zod is being too much of an over-protective parent, here. Sheltering us from a potential harm that does not yet exist.
