I was listening to a radio sports show last night, Fox radio. Not sure who he was, but he still has Seattle going to the Superbowl and even if the Panthers are16-0...doesn't think we have enough experience in big games or enough offensive weapons to win SB50. 

What a fool. Seattle won't even come close to the playoffs, let alone Super Bowl.

If they beat the Cardinals on Sunday, they are only one game out of first place in their division, with some easy games left on their schedule.

It's in Seattle, they'd still be behind Arizona and will lose to them there later. Vikings, Rams, Steelers are probably losses as well.

Seattle has represented the NFC in the Superbowl two years running.  Calling any of their games "probably losses" is ridiculous. They aren't as good as they have been, but they will definitely be in the playoff mix.  Wouldn't surprise me at all if they made the playoffs.

The Vikings are 6-2 and that game's in MN. Seattle has struggled on the road even during their Super Bowl years. Rams already beat them once and that was without their best player, Gurley. Steelers would be a top team if Ben had been healthy the entire year and he'll be back for that game. From everything I've seen out of the Seahawks this season, they are not as good as any of those 4 teams. And not even close to the Cardinals. Could that change? Sure. But barely beating the Romo-led Cowboys and the 49ers just to get to .500 isn't anything to hang your hat on. And the Clausen-led Bears and Lions... They've shown absolutely no resemblance this year whatsoever of the team that went to the past two Super Bowls. And until they show that I'm convinced they won't come near the playoffs.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
