Slaughter Bowl Game Thread

PrintThis is also an open thread to talk Seahawks. I'm out all day finishing up Christmas shopping, etc.
Instead of telling you what you already know, that the Steelers have the best run defense in the NFL and should atomize the Panthers run-first offense, here's a set of questions that attempt to put into perspective just how one-sided this matchup is.
Which will Jimmy Clausen do: Throw more interceptions or convert third downs?
Which will Jimmy Clausen do: Throw more passing yards or throw more interception return yards?
Who will total more yards on offense: Rashard Mendenhall or the Carolina Panthers?
Which unit will score more points: The Steelers defense or the Panthers offense?
Which unit will account for more net yards: The Panthers offense or the Panthers kick return team?
Who will finish with more time of possession: The Steelers first team (as determined when Ben Roethlisberger checks out) or the Carolina Panthers?
That's a tricky one.
And of course: In which quarter will Steve Smith beat Jimmy Clausen to death?
My money's on the third.

Haha
We were watching tv and that commercial came up and she thought it was pretty. I told her it was hideous and that I wouldn’t buy it because when people see us in public together, they’d assume correctly that I gave her such an awful looking thing.
Is that the open heart one?
Or is that Zales?

I actualy got my girlfriend something from Kay.
Sapphire necklace.

Yes.
I think.

Here are my predictions before I head out:
Clausen will convert more first downs than throw picks. This will be achieved in garbage time.
Clausen will pass for more yards than interception return yards.
Rashard Mendenhall will net more yards than the Panthers offense.
The Steelers defense will outscore the Panthers offense.
The Panthers kick return team will total more yards than the Panthers offense.
And thanks entirely to a grind em out style, the Panthers will barely beat the Steelers first team in time of possession.
Of the Seahawks defensive starters these are the only ones I am confident will return
Chris Clemons, David Hawthorne, Aaron Curry, Raheem Brock, Earl Thomas.
Everyone else we’ll either get rid of or will lose in free agency (yes I think we’ll manage to lose Mebane).
Accustomed to mediocrity.
Doesn't he get a rise in pay next year (lockout pending)?
Tats has just not looked the same after the injuries.
Accustomed to mediocrity.
I know.
But I doubt Pete Carroll gets rid of him. And I assume Lofa would be the type of player willing to take the pay cut to stay around.
by Scruffy Lefty on Dec 23, 2010 3:05 PM PST up reply actions
Maybe he gets one more year
I love Lofa but he’s probably been Seattle’s worst performing LB.
What about Tru?
Accustomed to mediocrity.
Considering how quick they were with Wilson.
I would assume they try to trade him. Someone would take him.

Brock's not a starter and why are you confident he'll return?
I doubt they’re going to find 7 new starters on defense in one offseason.
They found about 5 this season.
This wooden soul of mine, it cannot ever climb from places it has fallen: In between where light can shine. It never falls in line, it barely has a spine, like branches severed from the vine. Like it was faulty by design.
Dump him once.
And he is only on the team because of injury. So I’d assume so.
by Scruffy Lefty on Dec 23, 2010 3:21 PM PST up reply actions
I see us keeping the starting D-line and LB's pretty much intact as is
as for the secondary, yikes.
The rookies are safe and that’s about it. I’d be willing to bet Milloy retires, Jennings goes bye bye and Tru gets traded. Babs, Roy Lewis and Kennard Cox are a coin flip.
Earl Thomas = God-send
by Modrik Zutar on Dec 23, 2010 4:20 PM PST up reply actions
I'd love to keep Lewis around on special teams.

Maybe Lofa takes a Big pay cut?
and stays, unless someone offers you a third?

The OSU players getting suspended is stupid beyond belief
Pryor could declare but he’s not close to being good enough for the NFL.

So who else had their car break down with shopping not done?
Anyone? Anyone?

But what you did was the smart thing to do anyway. ;-)

I came real close!
My car alarm activated itself randomly though my car remote’s battery was dead. Had to walk to a radio shack to get new batteries because the alarm system wouldn’t let me start the engine.

If we assume that Pryor declares for the draft,
where do you guys think he’ll be drafted?
and do you think he’s a candidate for the Hawks?
Pryor sucks
And he’ll go undrafted or make it in the 5th-6th and not factor.
Accustomed to mediocrity.
I'm not against a Late Round Pick on Pryor
That being said, we should spend anything higher than a 4th (or maybe even 5th on him). But dude’s got tremendous physical gifts, certainly worth taking a peak at. Could even be a WR or Tight End in time.
Got a bottle of Sailor Jerry to get me through this game
Also the only way I can survive Matt Millen.
Is that the light at the end of the tunnel, or the headlights of an oncoming train?
I love me some JStew.
It will be fun to see how well he does against an elite rush-defense.
And, by the way: can we sign, like, the entire Carolina offensive line?
...
Sweet
We’re tied for 1st in NFL in allowing opening drive touchdowns. The Panthers and Seahawks have allowed 6.
Accustomed to mediocrity.
And by my count we've allowed an opening drive touchdown in 5 straight games including last week.
Accustomed to mediocrity.

Clausen does have pretty decent awareness
Despite the awful stats, he doesn’t look lost out there.

Fox didn't get the memo that the Wildcat is dead.

Being 2-12 and fighting for your job
means going for it on 4th down using a rookie QB against a beastly defense. Wow.
Earl Thomas = God-send
at the beginning of the 2nd quarter I mean

Wallace runs past half the secondary
Millen somehow says “This is all Ben Roethlisberger”
Accustomed to mediocrity.
Considering he drafted Harrington 2 years before Roethlisberger declared
I guess he’s mad.
That entire 2002 QB Draft Class was horrible.
Accustomed to mediocrity.
Well I guess Garrard is the exception
Seattle drafted some dude in the 7th named Jeff Kelly. Southern Miss QB.
Accustomed to mediocrity.
Yeah, Mike Wallace has speed.

Millen: "He pulled out too early."

Yep.
It’s a legitimately great show that appeals to all ages.

That's Mark Hamill??
No wonder that show is amazing! The dude is a solid voice actor. Castle in the Sky? Joseph King of Dreams? Anyone…?

He at least has some pocket awareness.
Not much, but for a rookie, it’s decent.
And on the few times he doesn’t checkdown, his arm strength is okay. Accuracy is another issue entirely.

So in other words, he's playing like a rookie surrounded by terrible talent, but doesn't look like a lost cause.

Seahawks 2011 offense?
Earl Thomas = God-send

I'd trade Terrill, Jennings, and Tatupu
to see if Clausen can be any good.

I wanna know who the person was at NFLN who looked at this Week 16 matchup before the season and decided it would be perfect for a primetime slot.

Roethlisberger is the master of the self-sack
He’s done it 3 times tonight.

2 third down conversions to 1 interception.

Theismann and Millen have resorted to making fun of two fat people in the stands.
Accustomed to mediocrity.
Carolina's only 2 wins are against the NFC West
And they were up 14-0 on Seattle.
Accustomed to mediocrity.
WHOOOO!! I picked 27-3 and it happened
But I did also pick Bucs 47 Seahawks 17 so you might as well give up on the game thread.
Good night all.
Accustomed to mediocrity.
Understatement
Fucking AMAZING game.
