Today the Carolina Panthers can earn respect across the country by finally defeating the Seattle Seahawks. 

I am in Seattle and will be covering the action from the field. Follow @carolinahuddle on twitter for updates. 

Who: Carolina Panthers at Seattle Seahawks

Where: Centurylink Field

When: 4:00 EST

TV: FOX

Panthers Keys to Victory

- Find a pass rush. The Panthers are playing a very bad offensive line. They have to find a way to apply pressure to Russell Wilson. 

- Big Plays. The Panthers will need at least two big passing plays for 30+ yards to keep that Seattle defense somewhat honest. Ted Ginn has had a good year, he is needed again now. 

- Let Cam be Cam. Cam is having a MVP year and is hungry for a win today. Turn him loose. Heck, I would be fine with Cam calling the plays all day today.

My key to the game is Luke Kuechly. It may be hard for him to get into a groove, but we need him to shake it off to stymie Seattle's production. 

Third down conversions allowed are crucial, as we haven't been able to get posing teams off of the field without a turnover. This is where it's good to have Luke back.

Honestly, I can't remember the last Panthers regular season game that matched the excitement that I have for this game.  There have been games with bigger playoff implications, but I'm looking forward to this game more than I have any Panthers non-playoff game in an extremely long time.  There are so many questions that can be answered by this team today.  Are we as good as we think we are?  Can we finally beat the Seahawks?  Has Cam Newton taken that next step completely?  

Regardless of if we win or lose, the most important thing is how we play.  Seattle is a very good football team that plays their best ball at home.  I want to see a turnover-free, competitive game from the Panthers.

And on the subject of regular season games I have highly anticipated, this is probably up there for me with:
2008 MNF vs Buccaneers, 2013 MNF vs Patriots, 2013 vs Saints (2nd game).  There are probably a couple of more like from 2005, but we had kind of a big gap between playoff appearances.  I guess you could throw '14 vs Falcons (2nd game) in there, but that was basically a playoff game.

Very excited for this one.  There is one thing that worries me about this game and that is the punt team against Tyler Lockett.  Every time we lose to Seattle it is because of of one or two plays.  If we lose I think it will be because of a big return(s) as that part of the team has been shaky for us.  We are a better team than Seattle, if the Special Teams plays them even then we will be 5-0 at days end.

Two key strategies for offensive success IMO:

1) The Seahawks will be without Jordan Hill, their stud DT. So, we need to run J-Stew up the middle relentlessly. Do not rely on the read option run game vs the Seahawks. They're way too good and fast at defending it.

2) Get Ted Ginn lots of touches in the short and intermediate passing game as well as a few timely deep shots off play-action. Ted Ginn has elite speed and will be a mismatch all over the field. I really liked Shula calling a crossing pattern for him in the Bucs game. We need more of that.

To all Panther fans, this is the most exciting (and important) game of the year.  We get this win and that would do so much for the team going forward.  I hope Rivera has the team pumped to the point of explosion.  I agree with Jeremy on letting Cam be Cam.  I have a good feeling about this game.

      Canalas’ play calling next week

      Who believes after Rico went off that Dave will go back to Chuba, go very pass happy again, run Chuba 7 times, and give Rico 5 carries?   he has a weird obsession with wanting to pass it over and over with Bryce.

      I never once said I believed in Sam. Only that he’s proof that the Jets and Panthers are bad organizations. You spent all that time on me. I’m flattered.

      Story of the year. Get down massively to Arizona, look like your first NFL game to throwing for more than 300 yards and getting the team to within 40 yards of a come back win. Get down 17-0 to Miami, execute the offense to outscore the Dolphins 27-7 the rest of the way. Defeat the Falcons 30-0 throwing for like 150 yards. Personally, I think it would be great to have retained Darnold. Darnold in this scheme with Canales would instantly make this team a contender for the NFC South. However that didn't happen.  I don't know what you do because when they run game gets shut down, and it will get shut down, you have to depend on Bryce to play efficiently. On one third down ball to someone (I forget who), when he was rolling out and made that throw close to the sideline to convert, the TV people would talking about how special that was. What I saw was another receiver streaking all alone 45 yards downfield, with about 5 yards of separation. Even while rolling out, an average QB is able to deliver that ball, signed, and sealed for a touchdown. Bryce's lack of deep ball ability is the achilles heel to this offense and it's something that can't be fixed.  I would love to be able to draft Carson Beck. I think he took a lot of crap at UGA which now seems unwarranted. Looking at how inefficient their offense is now compared to how it was with Beck at QB, and now how he has gone into the system Cam Ward was in and outperformed him massively in just pure execution and efficiency, along with the physical traits, tells me he will be a Top 3 pick. We won't have a Top 3 pick though. So what do we do? I have no idea. Canales is too good of an offensive coach for us to get a Top 3 pick and Bryce is inconsistent enough to get us a Top 10 pick. So absent finding a guy like Nix with tons of experience and good enough measurables, which requires great evaluations, I just think we are stuck.
