Several Seahawks said they changed their cleats early in the game, and that improved the footing.
Coach Ron Rivera said he wishes the Panthers could have skipped right to the second half on Sunday and not even went into the locker room for a break. “That’s why to say it’s a microcosm of the season was pretty darn accurate”. He never had a chance to make an impact after the Seahawks fell behind 14-0 in the first quarter and then faced a 31-0 deficit at halftime. Looking for 13 consecutive wins at home at Bank of America Stadium, the Panthers have a tough opponent on tap in an Arizona team that played its worst game in a long time but still beat Green Bay 26-20. “This is a young team with young leadership that’s accomplished a lot, that’s very smart and very precocious and all of that with extremely high hopes for the future”.
Brady, who has four Super Bowl rings to their combined one, was taken 199th overall.

“I guess we’re used to it – I know we have some strong tickers”, Olsen said.
Lynch gained just 20 yards on six carries during the loss to Carolina. In between, the Panthers scored 31 points.
One plague from the early part of the season resurfaced in the first half: The inability to protect quarterback Russell Wilson. Now they are a team still with a young and talented core, but facing important free agent decisions and an offensive transition to be based more around quarterback Russell Wilson.
Hi everyone and welcome to the second matchup in the NFC divisional round where the Seattle Seahawks and the Carolina Panthers will be facing each other in the playoffs for the second straight year. He carried the ball 11 times for just three yards.
Last year’s Super Bowl is one that the Seahawks are likely trying to wipe out of their memory. “They were the better team today”.
But it was too little, too late, and the Panthers are making their fourth appearance in the NFC title game, first as host.
Well, the first factor was the play of Jonathan Stewart. “This is a complete team that we will play, as well, and we have to be on our game”.
The Seahawks also have one of the NFL’s best young linemen in second-year guard Justin Britt.

“It’s great for us and our morale to have our Pro Bowl running back out there”, Carolina fullback Mike Tolbert said.
