Seahawks vs. Panthers: Don’t expect Saturday’s playoff game to be easy

Carolina comes to Seattle looking a lot better than the last time they met the Seahawks

This is a team that, despite losing six consecutive games at one point this season, comes into CenturyLink with two huge intangibles on their side: Momentum (a five-game winning streak, capped by the 27-16 wild-card playoff victory Saturday over Arizona), and the liberating underdog’s mindset of having nothing to lose.

They also have some tangibles on their side as well, starting with a suffocating defense.

It has been dominating since coach Ron Rivera tweaked the lineup by inserting rookies Bené Benwikere and Tre Boston into the secondary.

With top-notch linebackers Luke Kuechly and Thomas Davis, the Panthers have the capability to limit Wilson’s scrambles. They’ve also held Marshawn Lynch more or less in check, limiting him to a 63-yard average in those three games.

The result has been a series of fierce defensive slogs in which the final score looks like a Coors Field baseball result — 13-9, 12-7, 16-12. Those are the kind of games that should make Seahawks fans a little nervous: One untimely turnover or defensive breakdown, and those narrow Seattle victories could have gone the other way.

Unfortunately, we are the ones that had the untimely turnovers and defensive breakdowns...

Yep...we cannot make the same mental errors we have made the last three meetings.  The ball needs to bounce our way this time.

Why are so many people worried about what Seahawks fans think?

I sort of misspoke.

 

It's a beat writer.

 

Still, it's a good article.

So many on here want respect for our team. Respect is earned on the field not message boards. Keep Pounding! Respect is coming!
