Who thinks we'll actually beat Seattle on Saturday?

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.

    • Don't have to be miss cleo. His weakness are length, athleticism, creating his own shot, defense, finishing at the rim,  Strengths - shooting and IQ.   Likely won't work as non athletic shooters don't typically work.

    • I live in Indiana and took a trip that weekend to watch my two friend's teams play (Chiefs and Vikings) IN Minnesota when they were playing at a college field, I think TCF? Anyways, our plan was to watch the game (noon game) then do some shopping at the Mall of America, I wasn't planning on watching the Panthers play Seattle since I was out sight seeing and walking around after the noon game had ended. By the time we were walking back into the Mall the Panthers were down by 2 scores in the 4th or going into the 4th and we were all thirsty from walking around for 2.5 hours after the Vikings game so we decided to postpone shopping until after we ate. We found this nice little sports bar inside the mall that had the game on. Man, I'm so glad we skipped shopping because that was probably the most excited I've been in some time for a win. Beating Seattle in 2015 felt like the "monkey off the back" sort of feeling and I knew we had finally arrived as a team. The entire bar erupted when Cam hit Olsen for that walk off TD. Literally one of the greatest moments of my life. My friend wasn't so happy though lol, by the time the Panthers game ended ALL of the stores inside the mall had closed and he wasn't able to get any souvenirs. It was his first time watching a Vikings game live and making a trip like that so he was legit upset lol. I on the other hand couldn't have been happier.
