Game Day Open Thread - Week 15: Seattle at Carolina

Image_114_tiny by Shrug on in Game Thread

at
December 16, 10:00am Pacific
Bank Of America Stadium
FOX

It's a rematch of the 2005-06 NFC Championship game, drama quotient much lessened. Not sure who's starting at QB for the Panthers -- either relative newbie Matt Moore, or Wilford Brimley.

Commentary here and at our Panthers blog, Cat Scratch Reader, which incidentally is my favorite blog title in this whole SBN ecosystem. Let's see who's really Double Live Gonzo, and who will suffer a Death By Misadventure. Wango Tango. Wango Tango, indeed.

(Apologies to all those born after 1975. I don't feel we got to ch-ch-ch-change.)

i'll try to put up some "field's eye view" comments tonight when i get back.

i sure hope our guys come out with their foot on the gas rather than with their foot on cruise control.

Guh, Shrug, the Nuge has no generation...
just a trail of animal corpses in his wake.

not wearing my Hasselbeck today
Gotta save it for the playoffs.

This game probably means nothing, I highly doubt we catch Green bay, but I would still like a W.  10 wins just feels so much better than 9.

Josh Brown is better than you. The Rest of the team is worse.

Moore is relaxed...
what is the guy, dead? I'd be puking my guts out.

Not too much football left.
For no good reason, I'm really looking forward to this game.

Field Gulls
Needs a pre-game show.  The hungover analysis and extensive discussion of Brian Russell, Boone Stutz, and Josh Scobey would be so much better than the crapola on Fox.

pitch to the short side on 3rd and short
perhaps my least favorite play call ever

by Dids on Dec 16, 2007 10:09 AM PST   0 recs

Wow.
Yeah, let's run a short yardage play in Gray's general direction.

Hell if the Panther's farted in Gray's general direction he'd move out of the way...

by PositivePaul on Dec 16, 2007 10:10 AM PST   0 recs

yay
Seahawks can't get one yard on two tries, and on defense they give up a gigantic pass play already.  

Great stuff, really.  

Sports and Bremertonians. Because we can.

Huh, didn't expect that.
Who's starting at FS?

Terrill
Was four yards into the backfield on that run play.  Screwed it up for the Panthers.

by jeager on Dec 16, 2007 10:13 AM PST   0 recs

Well shit.
I wake up and see Shaun lose yards (Due to Chris Gray) and Mo lose yards (due to a bad play call and Chris Gray) and then that huge pass?  And that near TD?  This is an ugly way to awaken.

For the record, the NFL Gamecenter application sez there's an 18-mph wind coming from the southwest.

So even though Mo go more carries last week
Shaun's still functionally starting?

Is this trying to make Shaun feel better, or has Mike really not learned?

by Dids on Dec 16, 2007 10:18 AM PST   0 recs

Hmmm.
Holmgren + Alexander:: Hargrove + Ibanez

frabjous day
Good day to have consecutive three-and-outs.  

This was like any week leading up to a game involving the Panthers, except without Sean Salisbury doing some obligatory Jake Delhomme ballwashing.  

Sheesh, this is an icky start.

Was juggling the ball as he went out of bounds from what I saw.

Less Shaun plz

Running game is once again a shaun suckfest.
Redhead's pretty cute in the Verizon commercial.

Steve Smith.  They should let Moore throw the ball downfield.  He's playing well.

I love when Alexander splits wide...
I mean I hate it because it's stupid, but it's funny how the defense just sort of ignores him.

He got velocity on his snaps.  

That's just as good as the reason Bill Bavasi picked up Ramon Santiago a couple years ago: "he can pick it up and throw it."

as soon as the play calling gets its head out of its ass, the Hawks should come alive.

plaque
Nice result there from Plackemeier.  

Of course, the likelihood of good Plackemeier punts in the next quarter against the prevailing wind is probably not good.

Actually we just got a first down just like a minute ago.

Fumble on the play and let' see...

ten seconds left on the clock, and that WILL BE the last play of the first quarter.

Because that fact is what people were wondering about.

This game is putting me in a surly mood.
