Whats up huddle, Thought I would just drop by a line, it's been a while. 

 

I have always liked the Panthers, and this board has always been filled with some awesome fans that can have logical debates and always welcomed me. Needless to say, I was pulling for the rematch in one facet or another. 

 

I absolutely LOVE this matchup, I think it will lead to some fantastic football. 

You guys have probably dissected this game every which way, so I won't get too deep into it, I just love how these are probably the last two teams out there (maybe arizona if they had a capable QB) that still have this type of defense among the "sling it all around" type offenses that are predominant in todays game. 

 

I was talking to a Dallas fan earlier in the week, and they said how "boring" the Seahawks brand of football is, and I completely disagree. I absolutely think the style of which our teams play football, defense especially is the most pure form of the game we all know and love. I watched the last 4 games that the Panthers have played, and the way you guys impose your will on other teams is fantastic to watch. 

 

You guys are confident, which you should be, your team is playing some great ball... I am totally getting my popcorn ready, as I think this game will hit the under 39.5 mark and be a 6 point game at the most... I think whoever wins this game will be the representative of the NFC in the Super Bowl.

 

Good luck gents... (Just not too much ;) )

I wish Seahawk fans on this board were douches. I like you guys too much. :)

 

Thanks dude! 

 

Classy man, good to see you here over some others. Should be a great game regardless of the outcome.

 

For sure... Every fanbase has some shitty bandwagon fans... (well maybe minus the Browns and Jags), I mean hell, you guys deal with Saints fans... who are probably one of the worst out there (close second to the Niners), but any true Seahawk fan who have endured all the shitty seasons are usually pretty humble and logical. haha

      I’m expecting a breakout season from Ja'tavion Sanders

      There's nothing wrong with Sanders,  he's a good receiving TE.  Canales just doesn't use the TE that way.  He won't get the looks to break out.

      I thought he had a few really nice flashes.  I can see him showing out this year

      Morgan & Canales

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I have heard that before--when standing in front of a full body mirror at Old Navy.  I said it, actually. Seriously, Let's go on what we know. There is reason for optimism that exceeds random opinions and negativity: 1. Last year, the offense was the priority and the interior offensive line was the focal point. Morgan addressed it in free agency and the draft. They improved.  2.  Last year, Canales pulled Young after 2 games and replaced him with an established veteran.  Instead of giving up on Young, he developed him, primarily focusing on his footwork and timing.  Continued development in his fundamentals should result in improved play.  (this is significant because some athletes rely on natural ability and do not adapt well.  They resort to old habits. This means that Bryce is "teachable" and is willing to face adversity and fight through it.  That is what you want in a QB.) 3. Morgan drafted a raw talent at WR; and we all knew he was raw.  Huddlers are already calling it a bust, but his productivity numbers were in line with the other WRs drafted around where he was drafted.  So, yes, he was a bit disappointing, but what part of "Raw" is not understood here?  Evil Bryce, then inconsistent Dalton, then good Bryce--all while facing the top defensive backs--and let's not forget about his lingering injuries--and we should understand XL's productivity.  Morgan was looking for a home run based on XL's 1-season productivity and his freakish athleticism, but I always thought we would not know what we have until year 2.  TMac alone will make XL better--a solid #2. 4.  If you blame Morgan for drafting XL, you must give him credit for making Coker a priority free agent.  In my view, he addressed WR in 2024 pretty effectively in the long view.  5.  Let's look at the rest of the draft.  Brooks?  The best RB in the draft in round 2?  Morgan was attempting to build a solid run game behind Bryce.  Wallace was a very solid third round pick at LB. Sanders is a strong TE for a fourth round pick. 6.  Not much is being said about the development of Chau Smith-Wade.  His improvement mirrors Bryce Young's, actually.  In his first 8 games, his PFF rating was 36.5.  In the final 9 games, his PFF rating was 66.7.   7.  With so many needs, Morgan hit the UDFA market with success. In addition to Coker, Demani Richardson got 400+ snaps and had a 60.1 PFF grade, including an interception. 8.  In free agency, Morgan spent big bucks on Guards, a move that made his QB better. He added David Moore, Nijman,  He signed Clowney, Wonnum, Robinson, Jewel, Chaisson, Fuller, Scott, D. Jackson, Dionte Johnson, etc.  A few years of Fitterer left him with more holes that players.  Some did not work out, but he did all this on a budget (after he splurged on Lewis and Hunt).  It is hard to get a free agent to come to a team that loses--so in some cases, Morgan had to overpay or accept questionable players. Morgan's first year as a GM demonstrated an understanding of the game like we have not seen since Polian, before his lost it. Canales, on the other hand, should be rated by the improvement of players.  Zavala, Ekwonu, Mays, Young, Smith-Wade, Coker, Wallace--all improved.  He had to overcome major losses such as D. Brown, Shaq, Dionte Johnson, Corbett--and we saw growth.  Despite all this team went through, after 8 games of disarray, This team finished 4-5 with close losses to both Super Bowl teams.  Frankly, I do not know how he did it. This year was better.  The WR room is solid with depth.  The OL room is solid with depth.  The TE room is as good as it has been in a while.  The RB room has the potential to be as good as it was when we had 28 and 34.  DBs?  Better.  DL?  Better.  Edge?  better.  The bottom of the roster?  Much better. We really don't know what we have yet, and that makes this offseason exciting.
