Has the beat Seattle ship already sailed?

Let's face facts.  Zod knew upon the departure of DeAngelo Williams the board would be lacking in threads that irritated the masses.  He had to go outside and recruit some new talent.

Grass ain't always greener on the other side of the fence now is it?

Bet you guys would love a good "Why on Earth did we run Williams 20 times for 20 1 yard gains last week" thread about now...Well, sorry.  That ship has sailed.

Is it national pirate day or something?

 

And Rayzor, I'm sorry, I know you tried to keep everybody from "attacking" PU, but he wore you down too. lol

he just makes it too easy for people and he gives them plenty of opportunities. low hanging fruit.

Yes I get the whole notion of "any given sunday" yes I know in the NFL anything can happen and any team can win, I get the cliches, I really do  I understand the excitement of the upcoming matchup and a undyimg desire of wanting to beat this team. I hear some fans say that "if we dont beat Seattle now, then we never will." One simple question remains however, has that ship already sailed? Are we already past that point? Are we already at the point where the Panthers are just doomed to keep losing to the Seahawks?

Lets look no further than last year. Last year we faced a reeling 3-3 Seahawks team filled with distractions.. The Marshawn Lynch distraction on if he would return the following year. The Percy Harvin trade distraction just 2 weeks prior to playing us. The distraction of Russell Wilson not being liked by some in the locker room. Remember "black enoughgate?" Whispers swirling around the league that some Seahawks players didnt like Wilson and didnt think he was "black enough." Amid all this, THIS was the end all be all game to finally take down the 3-3 Seahawks against the ropes and at home in Charlotte.. If there was a ripe time to take down Seattle, we had it on a silver platter, ofcourse, we all know the end result of that game.

I know this might be considered a debbie downer post, but I promise my intent is not to kill spirits or bring the mood down, I just wonder a simple question.. Why now? Yes I get the "on paper" stuff.. On paper our D line should dominate their bad O line, on paper Olsen should be able to expose Chancellor, on paper we should contain a hobbled Lynch, I get the football aspects on why we should beat them, but unfortunately, for reasons unknown and things that cant be explained, all that stuff seems to fly out the window when it comes to beating Seattle.

I know some of you dont believe me but I promise im just a realist, im not a negative nancy or debbie downer.. Hell, just go back and look at my previous posts when we played the Bucs and Saints, I know many of you saw my "Saints is a guaranteed win" posts or the post I made in real time during the 3rd QTR of the Bucs game already doing a victory lap, I certainly wasnt being negative then was I? I  was 100% confident we would man handle both those teams and I posted aplenty about it.. Unfortunatley however, I am of the opinion the "beat Seattle" ship has sailed. Just like I was ecstatic I was wrong about Luke's situation, I would love nothing more than to be wrong again come  Sunday night. 

Tell the truth are you the guy that used to post at an inferior site called PantherTrain?

      BREAKING!!! Panthers signing Packers LT Rasheed Walker

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      It’ll be interesting to see how the board falls I completely agree with you on TE for us The safety from Oregon would be the cherry on top for Evero’s defense/scheme.  If a OL’men is there that you love it would be very hard to pass up. This fan base seems to just see Walker as a stop gap but I wouldn’t be so sure. He’s the same age as Ekwonu. He’s had a much more impressive career arc/progression than Icky has. He’s the better pass protector. As far as I see it if Walker has a good year I’d bring him back over Icky. Ekwonu isn’t some elite franchise LT. Playing next to Lewis is going to be great for Walker much like it has been for Icky. We definitely need to get younger/cheaper on the OL though so for this reason alone it’s still top of my list come round 1 if board falls this way  Could also use another corner with Mike Jackson’s deal up after this season and needing a nickel but Corey Thornton looked really good in that role in the limited time we got to see him. However he’s coming off an achillies injury and you never know with those.  Then as mentioned above we do still have a need at WR. As far as “weapons” go it’s kind of a 2 man show with Tmac and Coker and neither is a burner. If Jordan Tyson is there at 19 and we can have a young WR group locked up for cheap that’s a huge advantage cap wise  And don’t forget linebacker. That clip in Devin’s Lloyd blueprint they used from Evero saying they need more intelligence there could’ve been left out for Wallace’s sake but it’s true. Wallace is lost in coverage. Pair a smart linebacker with Lloyd and that’s a group with Wallace and Cherelus being depth

      The fact that this is even a discussion is a testament of the level of front office badassery that's going on.

      Not always. LT was for the Giants. So was Ray Lewis. Von Miller was moreso than Manning his final year in the season that shall not be named. It's usually the QB, but not always.
