Carolina Panthers Prepare For Seattle Seahawks

They also met in the NFC Championship game in 2005, which was a 34-14 blowout. “The only thing we changed was size”. That’s why Newton is the presumptive MVP with the 15-1 Panthers.

The rivalry between the Seahawks and Panthers continues this Sunday at 1:00 pm ET. “I like guys like that”. “He’s been an exciting player to watch”. However, they’ll have to bring in more weapons this time and will need to do a better passing game to defeat a Cardinals team that brought them down last month. They’ve allowed only one offensive touchdown in 62 possessions over that stretch. The Panthers have the sixth-ranked defense and are fourth against the run. “It can be a good formula”, Rivera said. “We always come back when it is time to play championship football”. “I do see the similarities”.

Kam Chancellor (31) of the Seattle Seahawks celebrates after scoring a 90-yard touchdown off of an interception in the fourth quarter thrown by Cam Newton (1) of the Carolina Panthers during the 2015 NFC Divisional Playoff game at CenturyLink Field on January 10, 2015 in Seattle. However, with how things are shaping up for Seattle following their stunning wild-card round victory over the Minnesota Vikings, the stars might be aligning for the boys in the Pacific Northwest.

Wilson was actually better on the road this season than most QBs are at home (17 TD/6 INT, 107.7 passer rating, one rushing TD) but how much of Sunday’s poor start in Minnesota was affected by the weather?

“I think we learned from our mistakes. Russell can throw the ball as well”, Allen said. Maybe just maybe. As I looked at the schedule and seen our first few games Jacksonville, Houston, NO, and Tampa. “If you feel like he can beat you with his legs and his arms, then that’s when you’re in trouble”, Irvin said. It can be a good formula.

Webb is the Panthers’ third-string quarterback, but he’s also lined up at wide receiver and this season has developed into a special teams stalwart.

Remember, it was only a year ago, in Super Bowl XLIX, that Seattle gave us all that wonderful gift of watching them give a second consecutive Lombardi away by not doing exactly what they’re best at doing. Doug Baldwin has that juice. After practice in the locker room, players showed no signs of being anxious about the impending showdown, with some breaking into dance at one point. (Tyler) Lockett can fly. “They’re not a big pressure team”.

The Panthers had 39 takeaways (24 of them interceptions) and just 19 giveaways.

Meanwhile, the Seahawks boast the NFL’s top run defense, limiting opponents to 81.5 rushing yards a game.

That makes the Panthers’ running game more different and unsafe than any other in the league, according to Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman. Seattle had a 9 point lead late in the game, but the Panthers’ rallied back and won. That will ultimately determine how many times they face off.

“The Panthers are a great team and that will be a special game”, said Seahawks defensive end Michael Bennett.

That diversity makes the Panthers a tough team for which to prepare.

The Seahawks will play the Panthers on Sunday in an NFC divisional playoff. The Hawks have struggled against Tight Ends all year and Olsen is one of the best. “He’s a playmaker for that team, so he’ll have the ball, whether he’s throwing it or running it”.
