Would we have won yesterday?

I think we would have lost by 20. Our offense in no way compares to San Francisco, they have elite receivers and Gore is a beast. Yet, the only offense they generated was on huge runs by Kaeperick because the running lanes were open because the Seahawks had to worry about every single receiver on the field. Defensively, we wouldn't have done worse than the 49ers, that's for sure.

San Francisco scored more points yesterday than we have scored in our last two games combined against Seattle (and both were in our stadium).  So its highly unlikely we would have done as well as sf.  We have to get better at some positions on offense before we can beat a team like Seattle, especially on their home turf.

I sincerely think we could have and would have won.  I believe it is tough to beat a good team twice in the same year and just as San Fran beat us here after we beat them there, I believe the same thing would have happened in Seattle with us, with us being so much better at the end of the year than the opener (Beason was a starter (who played a bad game) and Godfrey was our leading tackler for goodness sakes).  I also believe it is Peyton Manning's year to get his second Lombardi, so I'm not gonna play the "what if" game.  I am comforted in knowing that we will get either a TE/WR that Seattle/NE want, CB that San Fran wants, or OL that Denver wants next May, while Peyton cements his legacy as the best ever (until Cam is in 15 years).

    • Well, everyone is a critic.  not much meat on the bone here in analysis but if the team needs motivation … lol   I have also heard a lot of talking head or two say that ‘Young is not in the same class as most of these teams and that in 12 of the 17 games he is the lesser QB   BR write up below  2025 record: 8-9 Last season, the Carolina Panthers made the playoffs for the first time since 2017. They won the division. Bryce Young made strides, throwing for 3,011 yards, 23 touchdowns and 11 interceptions with a 63.6 percent completion rate. Wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan won the 2025 Offensive Rookie of the Year award. In free agency, the Panthers signed edge-rusher Jaelan Phillips and linebacker Devin Lloyd to bolster their middling defense. Carolina can win with complementary football if the offense continues to trend in the right direction. In 2026, Carolina will play the AFC North and NFC North on a first-place schedule, which includes matchups against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Philadelphia Eagles, Chicago Bears, Denver Broncos, and the Seattle Seahawks. The club will have a much tougher 17-game slate than it had last year, which may lead to regression. The Panthers aren't on the same level as the league's top teams. We'll see the gap between them and division-winning clubs from the previous season. 2026 projection: 6-11  
    • If someone key is hurt and your bye week helps you by not forcing you to play without them, it is at a good time.  No way to know about that ahead of time.   I would concede that with 17 games and let’s say you are playoff bound, you would love to have it late  
    • Hate it for him personally and hope he recovers well. But honestly, reaching an injury settlement and moving on would probably be a best case scenario for the Panthers. This signing always felt like a desperate knee-jerk reaction to losing out on Milton Williams. Williams was a logical scheme fit while Wharton just wasn't. He's best used as a rotational interior pass rushing specialist in an even front. He's way too small to play the nose in a 3-4 and he lacks the length and juice to play the end. Healthy he's a nice roster piece in the right scheme at the right price but we overpaid him to play him in the wrong scheme. The signing just never made any sense to me and I said so at the time.
