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.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      By electro's horse · Posted

      Wow I can’t believe the panthers tried to trade up, failed, but still got the guy they wanted to trade up for. I wonder if anyone else has ever said that next you’ll tell me they had Hunter and Brazzell graded as first rounders.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      I don’t think people are saying that picking up the option is a call for the pitchforks. We would have had to do things differently a couple of years back to make declining the option a valid move. We didn’t and here we are. People largely accept that. The pattern it adheres to, reinforces the nausea we feel when the idea of an extension, and at top of the market no less, comes up.  One that he hasn’t shown he deserves.   Same as he did not deserve to be drafted 1.1. Look at Pavia and what really is the difference? Bryce is a nice guy and Pavia is an asshole lol. They are both no margin for error non day one talents. One went undrafted.  Probably should have been drafted day three anyway. The other was way over drafted.

      We hate losing. I don't know Bryce to hate him. His play as a QB, I absolutely hate. It's just not good enough. If there were a lottery held to select the order and all 32 starting QBs could be drafted as the starting QB for whatever team selected them, how long do you think it would be before Bryce's name was called? Top 10, top 20, bottom 8? Think about it.  For me, having never seen back to back games with franchise QB level performance in 3 years tells me what I need to know. We still need to be looking for our solution at QB.
