Game Day Open Thread - Week 15: Seattle at Carolina

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.)

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.

First Half Cap
Well this has been a boring half of XFL brand football. I've seen better execution in New Jersey. Yuck.

On the plus side, the Hawks have shutdown the Panthers rushing attack and Moore is some semblance of pass rush away from immolation. Whatever the offense does, the defense should be able to cave in on this rice paper thin offense. So, short of disaster it would be very hard for the Hawks to lose this. Unfortunately, the offense looks primed to provide that disaster.

The offense has jumped into the way-back machine, forgotten every lesson of the last 5 weeks and decided to do their best to make this a matchup. I have given Holmgren a hard time, but I never expected this. Frankly, it's an embarrassment. One, I thin--eh, hope, will be corrected during the half. Holmgren is better than this. Post decline Holmgren is better than this. Take the field to start the half, run the ball with Morris to the left. Give your D some sort of edge and watch them throw Moore and the Panthers' O into the thresher.

The Hawks still have an outside shot of getting a bye. Hook the coaching staff to an IV of Geritol and let's get this shit done. Sea-HAWKS!!

If you listen to the radio broadcasts, you would almost think Raible is getting paid off to spin the Alexander thing.  Seems like "there was nothing there" on nearly every Alexander run.  I know the offensive line isn't where it should be in terms of progress, but they can't be getting steamrolled every time Shaun gets the ball.

I just don't feel right rooting for the Rams, even though they are facing Green Bay, and the Seahawks need the Packers to slip up for an outside chance at the number two seed in the NFC.  

Packers/Rams is the game being beamed back to Hawaii along with Jaguars/Steelers.

The call
like I've said before, the issue is that they've really shown no capaticy to stop us on short passes.  We've dropped some balls and that makes it look worse, but we're giving them a free pass with a draw.

The Seahawks need about 40 yards or so for a semi-comfortable Josh Brown attempt (given the conditions) or 63 yards to get to the end zone.  

Seattle has all three of their timeouts remaining.

lots of blame to go around
The Seahawk defense let Carolina convert on nine of 18 third downs.  There was also zero pass rush all day.  

Still, it's not like the offense got clicking soon enough.  

Sickening.  You'd like to minimize the number of these games over the course of the year, but between this loss, the Arizona loss, and the New Orleans loss...

I can almost deal with the Pittsburgh loss just because it was hilariously bad and they didn't show up against a high-calibre team.  They just didn't have it, and there was no way it was going to be in the cards.  The above three losses I mentioned, those all hurt, and they're all games that should have been won.
