Seahawk Fans Expecting Blowout in Week 1

So I was talking to a couple guys I work with from Seattle today, and they are not even remotely concerned with the Panthers in Week 1.  Their comments basically revolved around things like "We should just hope their defense doesn't injure any of our guys because they are so nasty" to "I doubt you guys can even top 200 yards in offense against us" to "Russell Wilson is going to carve up your joke of a secondary (which does have some legitimate plausibility) to "Cam will be pouting with his towel on his head by the end of the game."

 

Heck, one of them didn't even realize they played us Week 1.  I think most of their fans are solely focused on their home opener in Week 2 against the 49ers.  They have certainly fallen hook, line, and sinker on the Super Bowl hype out there.  I hope that is the case, because I think they are in for a rude awakening.

 

I told them both the Panthers Defense was nasty this year too, and they better hope they can protect their 5'10" Golden Boy back there.  Oh yeah, and there is that small detail that we should have beaten them last year had Cam not made the worst throw of his professional career to Hartsock in the endzone. 

 

Anyway, prepare to be disrespected big time over the next 2 weeks.  Seahawk fans and the national media are going to promote this game as basically a fifth preseason game for the Seahawks as they prepare for San Fran in Week 2.

 

Opening Day can not get here fast enough.  Here's to proving everyone wrong.

Does any team overlook opening weekend?

 

I mean some show up unprepared in general, but no one overlooks opening weekend.

 

i can see them being more interested in week two.

 

they've got the 49ers in seattle. it's a more important game.

I don't really blame them. A lot of people think they're the most talented team in the league while our offense can barely even move the chains. If they aren't careful though they're going to fall into the same trap that we did last year though; having massive expectations and then after week 1 feeling like absolute poo.

      I would write “give remmers tight end help” on a yellow sticky note and stuck it in shulas playbook the night before superbowl 50.

      Nothing wrong with it at all until you start telling others they are bad fans or not fans. But you are the good fan because you never say negative stuff about the team.    I did many years of that type of uninformed fanning because there really was no info and coverage like there is with the internet.    I mean, I used to go to the store and get Street and Smith’s annual football issue. That was about the extent of what you could get if you didn’t live in a big city with sportswriters covering and reporting.  There was no video to look at or replay the games and if you didn’t live in the market you could only rarely see your football team play.    TI have fanned since being a kid in the early 1960s, and as late as 1995 - ‘97 I lived in Atlanta and good luck getting more than 3 or 4 games a year on TV. No radio either. No print coverage outside of an AP recap and box unless they played Atlanta.  People today that have always had the network connection don’t know.    I wasn’t very educated about the Panthers until I finally got internet.
