Well...Well.. Winning the #1 seed has it's rewards. Now the worst team to advance in the NFC side of the playoffs comes to Seattle. To say they are an underdog is an understatement. They are 11 point underdogs.
Seattle has beaten the Carolina Panthers on three consecutive meetings all in Carolina's stadium over the last three seasons. Albeit low scoring affairs.
Now Cam Newton and his entourage comes to the CLink after winning that right last weekend beating a visiting Arizona team on the skids after losing to Seattle in the regular season. Almost EVERY team the Seahawks beat goes out and loses their next game. That stat is astounding in that it has been a constant for over two seasons.
I see this as nothing more than a tuneup for the NFC Championship game again in the Emerald City on the 18th of this month.
Newton has never played against these Hawks in the wall of noise generated by the 12s. Whether Seattle is officially the loudest stadium in the sports world or #2 it's damned loud...So much so that THIS Seattle resident doesn't go to the games anymore in person. It's just too painful. Plus you can't even go outside and smoke anymore which I find BARBARIC!!!!
I digress.
Cam Newton will put up a fight for about a qtr and a half and maybe even taste a brief lead as is not uncommon in Seahawk games as of late. ORRrrr... Maybe the Hawks will just come out and steam roll the Panthers from the first to the last whistle. Whatever.
Don't expect the Panthers to win their first game next season. The odds are ridiculous that they won't.
