Seattle Seahawks @ Carolina Panthers

I knew this game would be a grind out... In the Heat game 1 of the year on the road 10 AM game... This is gonna be a tough one.. Hopefully we can get it done in the second half...

again, you are reading way too much into the first game and not even the whole game

No, I just have some expectations of the most hyped team going into the season. SB contenders cream the teams that they should cream. The line needs to block better and Wilson has to get the ball out quicker. I'm starting to wonder why he can't get the ball out quick. The only time he does is on those WR screens. If he can't throw the slant then we have issues. It doesn't even seem to be in the playbook.

We got this...the offense is finally moving the ball...we just need to execute and finish drives

Wilson's playing dumb football right now. If he's not able to hit a quick slant or underneath routes over the middle then there's going to be some problems for him this year.

Yeah, call out Russell (the guy who has completed ten straight passes) instead of the O-Line that is getting dominated by Carolina's front seven. That makes a lot of sense.

my only worry about wilson this year is they changed his release point in the off season so he can throw higher balls over the line. What we have seen several times in preseason and in this game is he seems to have the same muscle memory for how hard to throw some of the routes and ends up sailing them too high with the new release point. Not only is that drops, but at some point it will lead to interceptions as well.

It may be good for him in the long run, but there could be some bumps in the road while he works on it.

Russ just need to do what comes natural... No reason to change what works... He had no problem throwing over the line last year... He needs to just do what he does...

Ah, so you had way over-exaggerated expectations due to media hype and are ready to call it quits after one half of one game. Can't argue with people who make up their minds so carry on.

Seahawks defense giving up 5.1 YPC to the Panthers in the first half (13 carries for 66 yards)

Seahawks offense only averaging 2.8 YPC on offense (12 carries for 34 yards)

Going to have to pick up both of those aspects in the 2nd half. The Seahawks need to find some balance on offense.

Not too worried. Seattle outscored opponents 231-120 in the second half last season (including playoffs). They have always been really good at halftime adjustment under Caroll.

In other semi-Seahawk related news...

Matt Flynn's replacement Terrell Pryor is 11 for 15 with 114 yards with an INT and 56 yards rushing in the first half

What was their scoring in the 1st half?

Simple question. Why don't we hit more quick slants? You can't be a solid qb in the NFL if you can't hit that route. We hardly ever throw it and we need it. QB's need to play the middle of the field.

233-169

Nice to see Kearse.

Wilson is now 11 for his last 11 according to the play by play guys.

And most of it is behind the first down marker. Good for rating but not good for putting points on the board.

 

[seahawksfan234]

Nice play by the Panthers safety breaking up Wilson's string of 11 straight completions.

AMAZING catch by Sidney Rice!

Likely to be called back due to holding though...

 

[blstoker]

Holding? Geez!

 

[seahawksfan234]

Penalty #5...

 

[seahawksfan234]

Penalty killed that drive.

Another reason to get rid of the ball quick. He's got to figure out how to deal with the defense that Carolina's putting up right now or this team is not going anywhere.
