This game was kind of a double-edged sword.

As a pure football fan, it was loads of fun to watch.

As a Panther fan, it was more "Man, why can't we look this good?"

I asked in another thread a while back...but here I am again.

In Seattle, they have THE most conservative coach in the NFL and continue to win, year in and year out.  Pete is a defense first guy, and in their healthy years I think that Russ and Cam were about neck and neck as far as being "great" players.

What makes them so different than us?  How can they be so consistent, and we are the exact opposite?

And it isn't the division, that division has been pretty damn good for a while.

What is it?  I sure as hell can't figure it out.

An offensive line made up of 1st round draft picks and a 2nd in Britt. They've been playing together for quite a while and they're not going through camp looking to make wholesale changes seemingly every fugging year like Carolina does. Seattle, Pittsburgh in their prime, New England, among others have one thing in common when it comes to personnel- they all have O-lines made up of guys who've been together for a few years. They can add or lose a guy here and there, but you never see them swapping out 2-3 players every season.

That can explain this year, but a couple years ago Seattle had the worst O Line in the NFL...still kept winning.

One day I'll figure it out, but man....it's tough to figure out exactly what their deal is.

Wilson is the 5th most sacked qb this year and is always been behind bad pass protecting lines.

Russell Wilson is good. It's not really a mystery.

Lots of QB's are good, I'm asking about their ability to consistently be good.  The Packers have a great QB and they are about as up and down as we are.  Same with quite a few other teams.

My question isn't how good Russ is, we ALL know that, my question is how are they able to maintain their consistent winning record over the past 8 or so years?

What is so different about the Panthers and the Hawks that we literally cannot win back to back seasons and they are in the playoffs every season?

      TMac to finish up Feels good after pads came on. Physicality is a little different, playstyle is a little different. Refs let the players play, so he has to earn his stripes to get calls and just has to be better playing through contact. Focusing on staying confident and listening to coaches. Not much has changed for him, still trying to be his authentic self. Was asked about boxing practice he was seen doing. He's done that since he was a kid because his dad was a boxer and taught his siblings. Was the youngest and got beat up the most, but now he's the fourth of sixth children. Boxing helps with his cardio and being reactive with his hands to the ball + DB. Admits to struggling the first couple of days, hats off to the DB corps for making him better every single day but had his best day on Wednesday. Even the best get got. Just have to remain confident in preparation and abilities. Confidence will take you only so far, and that's where his resilience plays a factor. XL is authentic and great to have in the room. Can rely on him to be the same guy every day. They make each other better. Everybody feeds off of each other and when one person wins they all win. Happy to be a part of the receiver room. Was asked about how he was laughing harder than everybody else at XL getting his feet in the water off the back of the boat: "Man he needs to be stopped bro... He can't be serious but he was serious. It's all good." Playing against the increased amount of press he's facing in practice is helping him get more physical. His job is to catch the ball, so if it touches his hand he has to come down with it. Only catches with one hand if he needs to, but that gives the QB a bigger catch radius. Had a pregame routine where he did a 360 one-handed catch, but doesn't do it anymore. Working on being a pro: Getting into the facility early and getting treatment, eating better, etc. Just wants to win re: rookie goals. Anything he can do to help the team win. "I'm looking for to the season man and keep pounding."

      DJ Wonnum up next Felt the defense came out ready to work at all levels and took over practice. New standard around here. Young guys have to know they're coming in to work. Last year was not the standard. Nic and Princely are fun. Different personalities but loves what they bring to the room. Sky is the limit for them. Nic sits next to Wonnum, Princeley sits next to Jones II. Allows them to be better mentors. Feels great and ready to go Incoom's athleticism allows him to bend and get low even to compensate for not being the biggest guy. Can set the edge. EDGE guys are helped when the ILBs can get home because it allows them to be a little more free while still in scheme. DB being back means his dominance is back. Can set the edge from the 3 or wherever he's at to make the runs bounce to the EDGE guys. Winning mentality and standard this year. Championship level from practice to how you live off of the field. Accept greatness and excellence with guys wanting to come to work every day. Not settling for anything less. Been in guys' shoes that are fighting for roster spots so he knows how to address them. Remembers not knowing what's next, especially as a rookie. Have a clear mind and ask the older guys a lot of questions. Has a good relationship already with Pat Jones II due to knowing each other and talking football all of the time. Can make hand gestures and know immediately what to adjust. Taking care of his body and excited to start the season. Getting it acclimated to football again by being able to tackle and bring players to the ground. Didn't know they were playing live tomorrow. Don't tell me it'll be "thud." Browns next week will allow them to hit somebody else and get a feel of what a different team is doing. Also allows the team to see where they're at on offense and defense. Ready to play football. Not worried about the QB matchup for Cleveland, going to play hard regardless of who is back there.
