Good post. I appreciate the respect and we'll be happy to talk football with you during the offseason.

I have been on this board since around 2009, usually post whenever we play.... I usually like hearing the other side of the coin on our boards as long as they are reasonable. Didn't mean to "blow up your forum", hopefully the 10 seconds you spent reading this wasn't too much of a burden. 

this is why i don't visit other teams boards. you get very little football content and a whole bunch of headless chickens running around. i learned this back in 08 and by the responses here, that seems to hold true.

Somebody needs to be doing it.

The games are always close when we play. Turnovers typically decide the game. Big mistakes at a bad time are a death sentence. 

Two great defenses facing two great quarterbacks that threw for a combined 44 touchdowns and 2 interceptions since the middle-end of November. 

Who the fug knows what's going to happen?

I say Panthers win, 23-16.

Don't worry about it. Some guys on here can't be civil. As long as you are not being a friggin idiot, It's all good. Some forget it's only a football game

Hey all, been a while since I posted, but over the years I have loved coming over to the forums whenever we match up, some of the more level headed fans on the net. This little contest is turning into quite the rivalry and i'm beyond stoked for this Sunday. 

First off, hats off to you guys for a great regular season, some people are finally starting to give you the credit you deserve, but not nearly enough. Honestly, with the way you finished out the regular season last year, it didn't take a brain surgeon to figure out that you guys were going to be for real this year, and a crash course (again) in the playoffs was likely around the bend. 

True, the Seahawks are a much improved team over the last half of the season, and is definitely a different team with their entire offensive approach and defense finally being healthy. However, the Panthers have looked like a buzzsaw in the final half of the season, and not enough people are pointing out the fact that they have been playing unreal ball as well. I love Russell Wilson, and without him, we would not be in the position we are today, but Cam deserves the MVP for a reason, he has finally taken that step that people were waiting for him to take for so long and he is going to be in that elite tier for years to come.

Carolina poses a very tough threat to the Hawks, because not only is their defense a legit top 5 defense, but your offense has been very tough to stop. Anyone that has watched Seahawk games with any frequency knows that the biggest threat when it comes to the passing game is a legit tight end that can run a proper seam. When the Seahawks get caught off balance and have to get away from their zone game and have to play man, which doesn't happen often, really good tight ends have a way of making us look silly. I heard Greg Olson cat is pretty dang good. That is one of my biggest concerns on offense. 

On defense, Josh Norman is a fuging freak, and he will be one of the best corners in the game for a long, long time. That guy does things that no other corner in the world can do. Of course with Kuechly anchoring that defense as well, our offense is going to have a tough time capitalizing in the redzone, and that is my biggest concern on defense in that, I think we will be able to have some opportunities in the redzone, but a bit concerned that you guys will hold us out when it matters, and thats what the game will boil down to. It's been awesome seeing the development of your team, especially your defense. The Panthers have always reminded me of the Seahawks with the way they ran their team, and what they wanted to do with the ball, and it's only fitting that we meet again in the same round we did last year, albeit a different venue.

The Seahawks need this win to prove that we can also win on the road, and not just at home. But the winner of this game will come down to ball control. I don't see a 34-31 type shootout game, I see long drives and a lot of work from Gano and Hauschka (hopefully we won't have -7 degree temps) and it will probably come down to a couple redzone drives at the end of the game. No matter the result, both teams have a lot to be proud of and it's going to be a hell of a fight all the way to the end. Cheers, let's have a great one, and of course, thanks again for having me. 

Prediction - 17-13 Hawks
 

I think it will be a close game but unlike some prior years....I think it will be a slightly higher scoring matchup than some.  2 reasons, Carolina is the highest scoring team in the NFL and I do think your D (despite being great) isn't as great as previous squads.  Plus, I think Seattle as they have improved as the season went on got away from the Lynch ground and pound.

I think it will be a close back and forth game that goes into the 4th q.  Then as we often see in sports, the entire season the Seahawks have been plagued with getting beat in the 4th quarter (despite advancing Sunday we saw it again)...and that will be what ends Seattle's season.  4th Q....LOB can't stop Cam.  Carolina while they have flaws, doesn't have this steady cloud over them of repeat behavior like Seattle.  Just feels like Carolina's year to make a big push.  Doesn't feel like that for Seattle.   Carolina wins 24-20.

Good post and welcome back

[CatMan72]

Good stuff OP, will be a great game for sure. The week 6 matchup was an instant classic and both these teams have improved since then. 

I'm predicting 24-17 Carolina.

Just a little known fact..Cam use to date Ciara..so he hit it first..

while Russell is still waiting..

[Montsta]

The last five games between these two teams have been combined for 72 points for the Panthers and 95 for the Seahawks, making an average of roughly 15-19 as a final score. That's incredibly close and the only one that looked way worse than it was is last year when we were about to score to make it 24-24 and Chancellor picked it and took it back to the house to make it 31-17. 

Most people on here don't like Seahawks fans because they are annoying and arrogant, but I guess all fan bases suffer from a similar affliction. 

I truly think we will win this as long as there isn't some monumental special teams fug up like, oh I don't know, a missed chip shot field goal or a block where Kam jumps over our long snappers head three fuging plays in a row with no adjustments. 

Sticking to a Panthers win though, 23-16. Hoping for 35-0 though.

Well, unless we have a sizable lead going into the 4th quarter.

Looks like Cammy Cam already may have hit that
