Panthers troll Rainn Wilson after he predicts Seattle win
But if you think the Instagram act was tough, you may just want to know what the Carolina Panthers pulled to the Seattle Seahawks on game day. Seattle was able to beat the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XLVIII, but fell just short in Super Bowl XLIX to the New England Patriots on a controversial play call from head coach Pete Carroll – an interception thrown by Russell Wilson right at the goal line.
Wilson’s girlfriend also became a topic of discussion in the blog world during the game when Panthers safety Tre Boston did a dance from Future’s “Where Ya At” music video after sacking Wilson.
The actor, who spent nine years playing Dwight Schrute on The Office, was born in Seattle and he loves to show his support for the Seahawks whenever he gets a chance.
Receiver Jermaine Kearse had the best game of his season Sunday in a 31-24 playoff loss to the Panthers, but will it be his last game as a Seahawk?
Not only did the Panthers win the battle, they won the Twitter war.
They didn’t do much in the first half, when they fell behind 31-0. Luke Kuechly intercepted it and raced 14-yards for a score and 14-0 lead.
Carroll said the game was “a microcosm of our season” – lousy start, strong finish.
Rainn Wilson is a huge Seahawks fan.
Naturally, the underlying storyline in yesterday’s match-up was the meeting of Russell Wilson and Cam Newton, two excellent quarterbacks that have noteworthy ties to rapper Future. Converting that certainly makes the second half different.
