Each week I like to bring to you the highlights of what opposing fans are saying about the current matchup. 

This week I visited Seahawks.net and found these tasty nuggets... 

 

On the Panthers using newly acquired receiver Norwood for intel on the Seahawks...

I doubt there's a lot of "gleaning" from Norwood,, not sure he's found our stadium yet.. 

 

He can give them our playbook, his team is still leaving town with a Loss. 

 

 Pretty dumb if you ask me to ask for ways to stop the Seahawks offense. If I'm the Carolina DC, I put Josh Norman on Jermaine Kearse and call it a day. It's not like we're going to throw to 6'7 mismatch freak athlete at TE.

Consensus is that Norwood won't be much help with insight into a dismal offensive scheme and coordinator. I tend to agree.  

 

One Seahawks fan put together this interesting video highlighting Russell Wilson's problems...

Looks to me like ole Russ is developing something Cam Newton has struggled with his entire career, namely, gun shy from a terrible offensive line causing the QB to be more worried about staying alive than throwing the ball. Have fun with that, Russ. 

 

On the outcome of the game, one Seahawks fan had a thoughtful post... 

This game will be a validation game for both teams. The Panthers are most likely going to the play offs this year, either as divisional champion or as a wildcard seeing how Carolina's schedule is really easy this year with of course 4 games against the currently horrible Bucs and Saints and another 4 against the even worse AFC south. However, I'm positive the Panthers won't be happy with just another appearance in the play offs. This game will be a good test to see if they are up to the test and able to challenge the top teams in the nfl and make a deep run in the post season.

For us it's something entirely different. We lost some tough games but the NFC West schedule is grueling this year. However, 2/3 of our most difficult games (Packers and Bengals with AZ on the road still to go) came early and it shows in our 2-3 standing right now. The Rams are a strange story as they are always strong in the division. The way we have been playing play offs should still be well within our reach and we could very well still win the division but this game will be very important for us. If we go 2-4, even a wildcard will be incredibly difficult to get as that would require at least 10 wins and at most 2 losses. 

In short we need this to get our winstreak going and the Panthers need this to confirm they are a serious threat this year. When looking at those motivations and the way both teams have been playing, I'm betting on the Hawks for this one but it'll probably be a close one.

Pretty accurate, imo. 

Overall, the Seahawks fan base appears to be less active, but higher in fan quality. It seems the emptying of the bandwagon has had an effect already. I suspect Denver's fan base has increased significantly this month.

Let's hope the Panthers effort is higher quality too...no special teams gaffs on coverage or Tyler will have a field day and blocked kicks can't be afforded on the road against this opponent, that there are no drops or turnovers in big moments for the offense, and that defense does its job. 

Would be nice too if some one  other than Cam could run the ball

i really want to believe the Panthers  can win this game but after bye week and without Benjamin, I just do not know

You have to give this fan credit.  That's a pretty honest and frank assessment of the game and what it means.  If the Panthers can go to Seattle and win, we should feel really good about our season and the playoffs.  Seattle needs to find a way to beat a good team.

Per usual, this game will come down to the 4th quarter and who makes the big play there at the end.  We have to pressure Wilson.  If we let him go to town...it's going to be a long day.  I think Seattle's D is going to try to make a statement after blowing some games this year...

Dangerous!  But I think this Panthers team has the will to do it.

Because we have zero experience in that department...

3 receptions for 25 yards on 11 targets in the last outing. Bring it on beaches!

      Good film breakdown of Young. Good and bad. Film examples

      How did this “innovative” narrative start with Canales? Just because he’s young? He truly wants to run the ball and nothing Tampa did last year was all that creative. Mike Evans ability to win 1 on 1 does wonders for an offense as a whole

      Does anyone actually think Bryce will actually be good?

      Initially, I wanted Stroud but I thought the trade up meant that, whoever they chose, it was for a reason.  There was no pressure to do anything for the entire scouting team to do other than investigate every aspect of the top 3 candidates.  Stroud had his question marks, and I think it is possible that he falters this year.  Bryce had a much worse situation here in Carolina because we neglected the OL, traded our #1 WR, did not pick WRs well in the draft, traded our pro bowl RB, and seem to disregard the TE position altogether.  Bozeman was not a good fit and we relied on an improved OL in 2022 to suggest that we were set there when we were far from it.  Fitterer had no vision, no grasp of talent, and everyone in the front office and on the coaching staff were pretending to be gurus.  Our coaching staff was a group of men earning a lifetime achievement paycheck.  It all goes back to the years of neglect for the OL.  My theory?  If Stroud had come to Carolina, he would be as mocked and ridiculed as Bryce Young.   No, he does not have a cannon.  Chad Pennington was a weak-armed QB who had success and would have been even better if it were not for injuries.  Smarts is important at QB, and so are mechanics.  Before you can address Young's mechanics, he needs an OL, Running game, and weapons. We were not really able to run play action from under center for a few reasons--play action is not effective when you have to pass the ball--other than that, the QB must turn his back to the LOS for about 1.5 seconds.  When the QB has less than 2.5 seconds to pass the ball, that eliminates that part of the play book.  Heck, even the run option is minimized when there is immediate facial pressure.  SO those who want to talk about happy feet, bouncing, etc--they are symptoms of the problem, not the problem.  A weak arm?  Well, Young's arm is between Chad Pennington and Joe Montana--closer to Joe.  His are is not as weak as some think--but he has issues with the deep ball. When you are reacting to the defense and quickly have to pass, then that takes away the strength because you don't have the base to get power behind it.  I still wish we had taken Stroud, but we have Young and if you toss him out before giving him support, you are not wise, unsmart, not unfoolish, and rather elite in your failure to attain mediocrity.  Expect growth.  How much? Nobody knows.
