On the road to Seattle

[philit99]

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?

#1 rush defense v. #1 rush offense

#11 pass defense v. #22 pass offense

I thought you were asking for directions

This should be the pièce de ré·sis·tance of the early season, and the Panthers need to finish these tired, undermanned, overrated clowns, and their midget QB in their hallowed home.

And of course, this should place the Panthers on a roll for their next 3 games, along with the end/2nd half of the season.

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).

The 0-5 terrible Lions only lost by 3 points there and hell basically beat them unofficially.. It comes down to one thing.. Are we 3pts better than the 0-5 Lions?

[L-TownCat]

what if they agreed to do that but gave you the seats behind the banner?

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.

Football doesn't work that way. The matchups are different for every team.

I would say yes and then move down to the lower level. Duh...
