Seattle keeps mum on whether Marshawn Lynch’s time is done

Or should I be taking heartburn medication knowing the Panthers don’t know how to play with a big lead?

Despite tallying 24 straight points in the second half, Seattle (11-7) could never get over the hump. He did that while Lynch was sidelined with hamstring, calf and abdominal injuries. The Seahawks’ bruising back was nicked up at times in 2015 and his play wasn’t the caliber that we’re used to – he averaged 3.8 yards per carry and only had three touchdowns on the year.

Specifically, Newton said “a lot of guys playing with their butts tight, coaches with their butts tight” and included himself in the “butts tight” equation. “And we’ll move forward in hopes of making our roster more competitive”. “Any one of those opportunities, they’re all huge”. Carolina’s Mario Addison ripped left tackle Russell Okung’s arm out of its shoulder socket on his way to the hit that forced Wilson’s second interception of the first half. Seattle outgained Carolina 280-75 after the break and scored on four of their five second half possessions, but the hole was too deep to climb out. “It depends on how he comes back and how he works at it and all that kind of stuff”, Carroll said. We just got to keep putting it back together. We want fans coming and saying “we have to get there early because we want a good seat”. Everybody in here just feels like we ran out of time.

Things don’t get much better than that. In the receiving end, Jonathan Stewart rushed for 106 yards and two touchdowns in 19 attempts. It was the second-most passing yards Wilson has ever thrown for in his career.

And, unlike the previous wild card matchups, all four home teams pulled off the victory.

“Today is a pretty tough day, coming off the loss to Carolina, very disappointed about the outcome of the game and kind of the way it came down”, Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said during his season-ending press conference.

“We were mentally strong”. On the third drive, newly signed Cortland Finnegan intercepted Wilson on the first play of the drive to set up a Carolina field goal.

Wilson has been stellar the second half of the season.

“It validates everything we’ve done so far in terms of our development and growth as a football team”, Rivera said. He had just six carries for 20 yards. This offseason starts three weeks earlier than it has the past two seasons.

“I think it’s the right time to really turn his focus and broaden his awareness of what’s really going on in the game overall”, he said. However, he made the most of one of those touches as shown in a photo shared by Panthers safety Roman Harper after the game. Lynch is under contract for two more seasons, but he is expected to make $9 million in 2016. In addition, Lynch hasn’t always been the easiest player to manage either. We just lost the game. Carroll said that both of Seattle’s recent Super Bowl appearances had residual effects that required recovery time. I’m not going to lie about that.

-DE Cliff Avril left the game due to a neck injury. He suffered a broken ankle and ligament damage in his ankle against Baltimore in December. “(The Seahawks are) really good.

Newton’s touch on the touchdown toss to Olsen makes for fresh evidence. Instead of Lynch’s running, Seattle had to rely on Wilson’s throwing to come back.

-As long as we’re on that tip, Cam Newton traveled to Charleston in the wake of the mass shooting this summer to visit the family members of some of the victims.

In October, the Panthers caught Seattle by surprise. Stewart became the first player to game 100 yards on Seattle since Jamaal Charles for Kansas City in November 2014. A fake punt was executed well with DeShawn Shead gaining 17 yards on fourth-and-2.

The Seahawks came within a couple of minutes and seven points from pulling off the largest comeback to a win by a road team in National Football League history. And he made it back, to his credit.

Either Palmer or Newton will get his first shot at a Super Bowl. Graham Gano’s 48-yard field goal made it 24-0.
