Who thinks we'll actually beat Seattle on Saturday?


Sam Mills Fan

Recommended Posts

What's your gameplan to victory? Any reasons besides how "we're due" or "we're a team of destiny" or "I have a feeling"?

 

I think we lose 31-13, similar to the Sunday Night Football game in New Orleans last year. We've improved and we've had a successful season where I can see us making a Super Bowl run next year, but at the end of the day, we still have Byron Bell at LT and presumably Brenton Bersin at punt returner.

I have a hope...using logical arguments with that hope....we're going to have to do what we haven't all year and not have any turnovers on offense, no lapses on ST, and no big plays given up on defense.  That hasn't happened in a single game yet, so the only thing to say for that is maybe this is the game, finally.  Maybe all the wheels finally click and we go over the hump.

 

I have hope, but logically, we're going to have to fire on absolutely every cylinder and if we do win, I worry this'll be like the Chicago game in 05 where we expend so much energy and get beaten up so much we won't have anything left for the next round.

 

But we're in, and until we're out, we have a chance.

I said 17-13. And I don't know who scores either. I'm thinking we go up 7-0 early in the game as usual, Seattle goes down and kicks a FG, we punt, they punt, we punt, they punt, we punt, they fumble, we score a TD, then Bersin fumbles, They score a TD, then Cam fumbles, they kick a FG, we run the clock down and kick a FG with 16 seconds left and win.

 

Or none of that happens and Seattle scores 17.

the record shows it will be a low scoring ball game.  I don't expect them to come close

to 30 points.

 

Our last three games against them we've lost by 4 or 5 points...we can beat them and we're due.

 

Two things....we could have beat San Fran last year but we made dumb mistakes and penalties.

 

We beat Arizona but made dumb mistakes and Cam didn't have a good game.

 

If Cam plays well, we have more than a chance.  I was hoping for a little less sloppy game Saturday,

meaning we learned our lesson from last year.  I'm 50/50 right now, but I certainly think we can beat them, even on the road..

I said this in a post earlier. We will have to play the most consistent football we've ever played. We have to catch every ball, throw it accurately. Defensively we need to play as sound/disciplined as we've played all year.

 

I think we can, but the stars would need to be aligned. I don't want to make predictions, but I would say if we play our best game we can win....... I think we have about a 30% chance of that happening. Just not enough speed to get it done on offense, while at the same time, holding them to a lower point total. Similar to all the other games we've played against them, similar outcome.

    • Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.   
    • Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying. 
    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
