Media is setting Seattle up for beatdown

Like the Panthers needed any extra motivation to beat the Seahawks next week, but the NFL media and social media are adding fuel to Panthers fire.

Many in the media are downplaying the Panthers 4-0 start as nothing more then being a byproduct of an easy schedule. The Panthers are starting to show they're growing tired of this narrative as indicitive of some of their answers to that question in recent press conferences.

Some pundits openly doubt the Panthers can succeed vs the second quarter of their schedule, that starts with Seattle. Yahoo sports Frank Shwabb has  the Seahawks and the Bills ranked ahead of Carolina in his latest power rankings, going as far as to predict the Panthers will be the only currently undefeated team to miss the playoffs entirely.

I know we've not faired to well against the Seahawks in the recent past, but I feel this is the Panthers year to clear that hurdle, and after October the 18th Seattle may request that the media not do them anymore favors by marginalizing future foes again.

Panthers 24

Seahawks 10

If any game mattered the most in this season. I believe this is it. Going in after a bye week, were we've not faired well in the Rivera Era. Going against our nemesis, Seattle that has had our number for several years. All the games we've played in the regular season against them have been close and been literally decided by not only 7 points or less but that one play that could have won it for us. 

 

This is going to be a test..I expect nothing but greatness from this squad come Sunday the 18th.

Before everyone says we suck after the bye week a 100 more times answer me this. Have we ever been 4-0 under Rivera before? 

Exactly. This is uncharted territory and we have already gotten off to a fast start which is uncharacteristic of Rivera teams. Well this team is going to win after the bye aswell and spank that seachicken ass.l

I remember the image of Cam watching the Hawks come out of the tunnel during the playoff game. And of course that pick 6 at the end of the game. There's no way he comes out and lays an egg. Certainly we can lose this game. But I believe Cam is going to ball out and get that W.

I just hope to God when Wilson is forced out of the pocket and scrambles and then throws a 40 yard bomb, and it floats up there and hangs, that someone can get into position and pick that poo off! He is the luckiest bastard when he throws it up like that, surely we can get someone into position!

Hey Russell this is Josh, but you can call him Mr. Norman.

I've been predicting that we'll beat Seattle & Indy out of this upcoming stretch.  (Not sure about Philly... would be a wonderful surprise if we can beat Green Bay, but not expecting it.)

I'm thinking 20 - 17 Panthers in Seattle with 3 or 7 of our points coming off of a Seattle turnover.

      Boy the flyers look good early. Lots of bad plays and slow start by our team. Hope that changes before the score changes.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      I guess I should have stipulated outside the sacred cow.   I complained from year one that Bryce should compete for and win the starting job on his own merit but no he was just handed it. I have been right there with everyone that wants competition.  But I don’t really have a huge problem with it for this season the way it has gone because where are the viable people we don’t have to trade for? I actually am okay with tiny hands Pickett because he is so close to Bryce arm strength wise and to be honest, skill wise. Probably. And it is only a one year deal.  That also takes into account that the QB class is looking stacked next year and if Young fails miserably then we get either a reset or a real competition and there will be more guys that I would like looking at in the FA QB class next year as well.    I sort of accept where we are this year and look at it as another treading water year (at QB). I just want to get to next year with some clarity. More than anything. And they did empty out the room. Again, who was really there for us?  And I know it would not be a true competition at this point anyway. They are giving him the year, like it or not.    Also I don’t give a poo about winning games IF he sucks and or goes down after sucking because draft position and that stacked QB class.  And I want out from under him So Bad.     So I guess it is several factors that lessen my anxiety over his backup this particular season.    I am not trying to convince anyone, but you asked. That’s how I look at it.
