What are your thoughts and expectations for this weeks game? Vegas has Seattle -7. I however, think we finally beat the hawks, and it will be even better beating them in Seattle. I say Cam throws for 220 yards 2TD, rushes for 45 and 1TD. I say Carolina wins 27-21. I think the seahawks will take an early lead, and the Panthers come from behind late in the game. What say you?

In no way am I calling this a must win game...But, they NEED to beat Seattle at some point, simply for the mental aspect and getting the monkey off their back IMO. 

 

Seattle has been the team we're chasing the last few years, blown games against, and continue to lose close ones to. Beat them, and I think the confidence boost alone will do wonders for the rest of the year and going forward.

You can also potentially knock them out the playoffs, and take a home win against them; which they count on to make the playoffs ever year (i.e.: if you win all your home games, and two on the road, you have 10 wins, and more likely make the playoffs).

I'm typically the eternal optimist, but I've been classically conditioned that when playing Seattle, I don't expect to win.  Add in the fact that the game is in their place, I don't feel great about it.  I'm convinced we have the personnel that can put together a winning effort, but I'm more concerned about the intangibles (long trip, crowd noise, pressure to finally win against them).

No matter the outcome, should be a low-scoring defensive struggle.

Even with Seattle on the ropes, I think they're still a very good team and we're going to have to play sound football to win.  Have they taken a step backwards?  Yes, but I don't think anyone would argue any of the teams we've played this year are better than them.  I expect another close, hard fought game Sunday.

I think if we take care of the football and our offense puts points on the board in the 1st quarter, we'll be just fine on Sunday.

As an aside, I ventured over to their board this morning, and it looks a lot like ours did last year.  "Our QB sucks", "Which RB do we start next week", and "Wilson is shell shocked" type stuff all sounded familiar.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
