(Cam)"...And than Russel Wilson told me they could beat the Panthers in Charlotte"

"Hey Russ check out out my new backflip!"
"Not bad Eric, I'll meet you in the endzone when you're done."

Looking forward to a hard fought game by both sides, West coast teams traveling to the east coast usually have a big disadvantage. But with a stout D and a solid running game will the Seahawks be able to overcome?

Panthers are looking to get a W after such a disappointing loss to the Falcons, look for them to start out strong for the second week in a row.

Players to watch:

How will Cam rebound after such a disappointing loss? Looking to see some key leadership out of him this week.

Will Marshawn Lynch run for 200+ yards against the Panthers? Probably. This will definitely be a key guy the Panthers will have to shut down if they expect to win.

Charles Johnson(and for the most part the whole Dline) needs to continue what we saw last week and get pressure on the QB, if we can rattle the Rookie early on we might force him into making some costly mistakes.

Also let's not forget it's October so don't be afraid to sport you pink for the game!

Injury Report

Out: Mike Pollak
Doubtful: Chris Gamble(Captain Munnerlyn), Jon Beason(Luke Kuechly/Jason Phillips).
Questionable: Geoff Hangartner(Garry Williams).

i'm worried about marshawn against our poor tackling D. i'm worried about our cutesy tricky gimmick offense against their athletic defense. they probably have an advantage on STs as well. maybe we can pull it off at home but wouldn't be surprised if we didn't show up for this one.

also looks like we'll be without gamble, beason, and hangarwhatever. so our crap defense becomes even crappier

That's just great that Gamble is out. Just great. Now we can watch Captain Munnerlyn go out and prove again that he's a legit starting CB in this league. I honestly don't think any other nickel corner in this league talks about starting as much as him.

I'm guessing the Seahawks passing attack centers around getting tall receivers matched up against Nakamura and Munnerlyn and throwing jump bals all day.

I foresee a bad day of tackling and not that many opportunities to rush Wilson.

Better hope the offense shows up and protects the ball.

I hope we utilize Kuechly more, I would like to see him play 80% or more of the snaps on Sunday. The guy needs snaps if he's going to reach his potential. Leaving him out on 3rd downs is a waste of his talents.

Its going to be a lot of fun to watch Marshawn go for 300 Laughing

I love the power he runs with, the way we tackle on that side he could have a career day.

Great introduction...it's gonna be how well we contain the skittle man that will determine this game.

So i'll actually be at this game. Hoping the boys can pull it together against a pretty mediocre Seahawks offense (outside of Skittles) enough to give us a W. I've only been to two games that were actually wins out of like 10. Laughing

I'm gonna go waa~~y out on a limb and make a bold prediction by saying that we hold Lynch to under 100yds rushing and the Seahawks as a team to 300yds or fewer of total offense. I say Lynch about 87yds rushing and Wilson about 190 yds passing.

Still, you gotta think if there's not at least 8 defender's (perferably 9) in the box on every first down or short yardage situation I'll be very dissapointed.
