Moving on to Seattle, what are your thoughts on the game

[Jeremy Igo]

This is approaching must win status for both teams.

They typically play each other very will in a close game.

 

Is that what we are expecting this week?

[jfra78]

We're at home so we will get the good version of the panthers.

[GoobyPls]

We play better at home, my main worry is that  Wilson is gonna run on us like crazy.

I'd love to see our talented defense actually play at least at an average level. Watching overpaid 1st and 2nd rounders totally poop the bed doesn't make for a great Sunday afternoon. All that money and we're getting below average play.

On offense I really don't want the ball going to mediocre talent when we have an abundance of top tier talent. Run Cam/CMC, throw to DJ/Samuel/Olsen/CMC mostly.

It seems to me the NFL is dividing into to types of teams, the dominant offensive powerhouses, and the rest. Seattle and Carolina are in "the rest" category. We should be in an ugly struggle with Seattle and it's anyone's guess which team might come out on top. One key to this game will probably be boneheaded plays and blown coverage. Our Panthers have looked clueless and unprepared in their last two games, so until I see otherwise I expect the trend to continue.

Prediction: 

Panthers take the reigns early. Then proceed to give up a 3-score lead to barely win the game in the 4th quarter.

I have no confidence in this team.

We get behind early, it’s over.

[Wanderlai]

All about momentum and we have none. Blown out big time then lose a game we should have won. Our mojo is shot. Seattle on the other hand is doing better than expected. We lose and it’s game over for the playoffs.

Both teams are top 10 in opponent rushing attempts per game (Carolina is 6th, Seattle is 5th), but both teams are worse than their perceived rushing defenses are. Carolina is 15th (4.3 YPC allowed), Seattle is 28th (4.9 YPC allowed). Should be interesting as we both would prefer to run the ball and control the clock.

Likely to stay close and come down to turnovers/special teams.

Float on

When in doubt ,  paddle out..  

Team Comes Together for  late Nov ~ Dec Run to the Playoffs

Seattle is just behind Dallas in the team I'd rather beat every year.

The Seahawks are always a tough out. It's winnable, but we'll have to certainly play better than we have the last couple of weeks to give us a legitimate opportunity. It's just so hard to say which Panthers team will show up.

[gmonjimbo]

This game is all about the Panthers defense. They have to get off the field on 3rd down, stop the run, and get a takeaway. Panthers can't afford to drop any games at home. No more excuses about not being able to practice properly because of the rain, heat, etc. 

[PandaPancake]

As long as Washington is the DC nothing good will happen

[pantherj]

One thing that's driving me crazy is that we spend all this money and draft currency on DTs, yet we're weak at DT. I'm cringing just thinking about Seattle gashing our run defense. Our DTs look like they don't want to play football anymore.

Always rooting for the Panthers but I'm feeling Meh.  Just preparing myself for an average performance.  I believe Wilson will use his legs to keep the drive alive and keep it a one score game.  Panthers will have to pull out a last quarter come back.  Just haven't seen enough to believe the Panthers can keep up with a shoot out against the Saints to take the division.
