On the road to Seattle

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.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
