Recommended Posts

Lets assume Dallas wins tomorrow of course, and we head to Seattle

 

We had their asses the last two THREE seasons

We've lost the same kind of game every time; not scoring TD's, settling for FG's and FG attempts, just heartbreaking losses where we could have had any of them

 

What do you see being different this time around? Can we go into the lions den and get this one next week?

We have to score. We have to show up early defensively and really make a statement. The biggest thing to me is containing Russell Wilson. Marshawn isn't a big scare to me. We know what he's capable of but our run defense is good. It's containing Wilson and the secondary staying sharp.

Playing Seattle in Seattle, on primetime, in the playoffs, is a WHOLE DIFFERENT ANIMAL!!!! Not to mention they have beaten us 3 straight times at our own house. I know it's been very close every time we play them, but we are talking about going into their house in the playoffs. Should be interesting.

I will be totally honest, I never expected to beat either GB or Seattle and I still really dont expect to win next week and frankly thats fine, ofcourse I would love nothing more than to win but being a realist I dont see it. This year was already a success, we proved this year we are truely a battle tested team, we are back to NFC champs, back to back playoff contenders AND we won a playoff game, we took the next step and this is what good teams build off of and I fully expect us to be a 11-13 win team next season no doubt.

I say we mix it up big time next week, I want us going for it on every 4th down, go for 2 pt conversions after every TD, maybe a onside kick, just do random poo the opposing team wont expect, seriously, why not?! We are playing with the houses money, we got our playoff win and got that monkey off our backs, lets face it, it is HiGHLY unlikely we beat GB or Seattle, why not just mix it up and do completely random poo they wont see coming and see what sticks

Hop over to the Seachickens forum and see what they're saying about us.... They actually anticipate a 30+ point win... They're in for a treat next week if the Cowgirls can take care of business tomorrow.

 

I hope their team is half as cocky as their fans because we have a team built to give them a run for their money.  I honestly fear Green Bay more than the Seaturds, their personnel matches up a lot better against us...

Agreed. Only hope against the Packers IMO would be controlling ToP and playing D like the Bills did. Having a less than 100% Rodgers would help. I'm very confident against Seattle. If we can play D the way we did today I honestly can't see Seattle putting up a TD on us, and no more than 3 FGs. And with the way Stew is running I think we can drop 20 on them. They struggle against TEs and power runners like Stew.

    • Not sure if they are happy but realize they can’t upgrade everything this year and are content with the group
    • Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers  
    • While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
