Panthers have no shot against the Legion of Boom

SEAHAWKS (-10¹/₂) over Panthers; Under 39¹/₂: The defending champs fiddled around for the first couple of months, but at the end of the season the Seahawks rediscovered their identity. In the final six games, all wins, the Legion of Boom defense gave up 3, 3, 14, 7, 6 and 6 points. Who’d they play in that span? The Niners twice, the Cardinals twice (once with Drew Stanton at QB), the Eagles and Rams.

All credit to the Panthers for winning their last four to get to 7-8-1 and steal the division title. Ryan Lindley couldn’t make them pay for their mistakes last week, but Russell Wilson and the LOB will, for sure.

Seahawks, 27-10

Might as well pack and go home?

You do realize that if they were playing Atlanta instead of Carolina we'd be saying the exact same thing. Its not a slight to the panthers, just reality of a really good team playing a good-average team AT HOME.

Its ok. The panthers can win this game, but no one will be surprised if they don't, that's all.

Uh, you really think they would be saying the same thing about Julio Jones Roddy White and Matt Ryan?

 

C'mon man...

We're a "good-average" team, yet we're one of the final 8 alive?

Don't really see what's so outrageous about this prediction.

Our rag tag, duct taped together receiving core is at an obvious disadvantage to the best secondary in the 21st century

 

SEA is 27th in passing this year so does that make our secondary the Duck Tape Crew?

    • Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field. 
    • At least we don't need to hear overreacting about towels ...
    • Actually there is, try being a Charlotte Hornets fan. I mean the team fuging moved at its peak and hasn't recovered since and that was 25 years ago
