Sunday will be a nightmare for the Seahawks. 3 reasons why:

And what makes him so good. Like Cam, RW is a playmaker. This is like opposing fans saying if we get a hand on Cam we have to take him down. So much easier said than done and that's what makes these two QB's great. 

But yeah it's annoying as f*ck, when RW scooped up that ball Sunday and hit Lockett who turned a 10 yard catch into a 35 yard gain I said f*ck it and left my seat and sat in the bathroom so I could warm up. I mean, I was probably heading there anyway (it was so cold) but that play was the nail in the coffin.

3. The Seahawks didn't play one East coast game this year, so how can you use this statistic?  If you want to go by past statistics then go to the Seahawks beating Carolina in Charlotte the last 3 games going to 2012.

ah yes, the ole 2012 year...was a great year for rooting for an NFL team all of a sudden, wasn't it?

I understand Seahawks fans getting mad about the post, very surprised at some Panthers "fans" getting mad. Is this still Carolina Huddle or did I stumble onto Seahawks.net?

 

As for the "nightmare", I'm only stealing what that Washington Post dude did by saying this game would be a "nightmare" for the Panthers.

C'mon guys, you're really stretching things here.

1. The Seahawks have played their best football without Graham and Ricardo Lockette this year.  The feeling around Hawks fans is that Graham is overrated and was having a difficult time adjusting.  He had a few good games before getting hurt but all in all he's not being missed (particularly his aversion to blocking).  Baldwin has had a career year and the Hawks picked up Tyler Lockette who has more than made up for any loss in Ricardo.

2. Don't think for one second that Olsen's big game or any perceived weaknesses in Chancellor's coverage game has been overlooked by anyone - if you don't think they're gameplanning around defending Olsen and he's flying under the radar then that's wishful thinking.  But don't put alot of stock in a Minnesota game where conditions were 30 degrees below freezing (and 50 degrees below freezing after windchill)...those conditions wreck a football game because people simply cannot perform optimally as they would under normal conditions.

3. The Seahawks didn't play one East coast game this year, so how can you use this statistic?  If you want to go by past statistics then go to the Seahawks beating Carolina in Charlotte the last 3 games going to 2012.

Can I just say you have one of the most creative nicknames for the Panthers by an opposing fan I've seen? Kudos.

 

Re: Jimmy Graham, the point is that Jimmy Graham is kind of a Panthers killer and WAS one in the previous matchup. Even if he wasn't great during most of the season, he was great against the Panthers and I can promise you the Panthers are happy he won't be there. That's a fact. The Seahawks are still a very good team without Graham! I agree with that! But they're not as good against the Panthers as they would have been with Jimmy Graham.

 

This will be far and away the best Panthers team you guys have played in Charlotte and all previous games came down to the wire. Can you say this year's Seahawks are far and away the best we will have seen?

Does anyone realize that the 2012 Seahawks were coming off a 7-9 season and only made it to the playoffs as a Wildcard team that lost in the divisional round? Why does everyone try and insult Seahawk fans by implying that they've only been fans since 2012? At least say 2013 since that's the year we dominated the NFL and won our first Super Bowl. 2012 wasn't any more successful than 2010, 2007, 2006, or 2005, so it's just baffling to me why that year is used to imply that everyone jumped on the Seahawks bandwagon, when there was really no sudden increase of overall success and thus no actual bandwagon.

YEAH GUYS GET THE CORRECT YEAR WE ALL BECAME BANDWAGON FANS JEEZ!!!1!

Well either the credibililty of people making this statement is questionable, which means we aren't bandwagon fans, or a bunch of people really did become fans in 2012 and since the team wasn't overly successful that year all the new fans aren't bandwagon fans. :)

But that's when Jesus's prophet on Earth joined the Seahawks so 2012 makes sense.

the mission here is to limit the 2-3 big plays that RW creates and find a way to create our own. 

Yup. Instead of trying to hammer him with a big hit on one of his scrambles and whiffing badly, our guys gotta just wrap him up for a loss. 

Potential negative yardage plays turning into first downs are damn near as bad as turnovers.

I think Russell Wilson is an excellent MVP caliber QB but he seems to generate some serious luck

No lie before the game I was talking to a friend about how it seems the last few years that in big games against Seattle teams always find the craziest ways to lose to them when they seemingly have them beat. Naturally the Seahawks then win because of a botched snap and a missed chip in. Not taking anything away from their talented team and what they've earned, but man they've gotten some crazy luck up there.

My Russell Wilson Nut hugging in-laws can't understand why I dislike him so much.  It's not the Jesus water or the crying.  It's the luck.  Their response is "it's all skill".  Which is bullshit because if Cam would've picked up that botched snap like RW did last weekend and hurled it down the field, you bet your ass there would have been some damn defender there to intercept it.  Honestly it's all butthurt on my part that I've never seen someone skillfully keep a play alive and there is always someone there.  It's like playing playground ball.

Hell I was giving you bandwagoner boys an extra year to pad your stats as true 'fans', just trying to help out.

its because the stolen '12TH' man thing, 2012 was the first winning season with Wilson...all the fans wear the 12 and it all just added up

Yes, if I was a non-Hawk fan I would hate that about RW. As a fan I just LMAO because it is so predictable. D-End chases RW3 out of the pocket, RW3 twirls around, takes two steps forward, and throws a teardrop high in the air to a waiting receiver way down the field.

There are some players that RW3 can't twirl very good against, #1 on the list is Aaron Donald, that guy is amazing.

I honestly believe Seattle's passing attack improved when Graham and Lockette went down. Norman will contain Baldwin to an extent but they line him up in the slot occasionally for a mis match. Tyler Locket will also give us trouble in the slot running quick slants. Kearse always shows up against us and going up against McClain will definitely result in plenty of targets. 

This is why I believe we are in for a shoot out. They will not be able to run so it will be lots of throwing and broken plays with Wilson scrambling. 

Yeah. Luke Wilson will probably have a good game against that zone too unless the dl manages to plant Wilson
