Good thing we have a good game manager & not an elite QB.

Mental resilience.

That's what I'm seeing from this defense even though they keep giving up big plays.

Griffin runs down McCaffrey.

Flowers with the big open-field tackle despite surrendering big chunks.

McDougald with the pick through the sore knee.

That's what gets me excited for the future with some of these young guys.

Sometimes you win when you are out played. IMO, that was the case today.

I'm so glad we won that. It was getting frustrating with how many fumbles we caused and didn't recover. I didn't keep track but it had to be about 6...

Definitely a strong team win.

10am start, away game, down to the wire, had to go the length of the field twice at the end of the game to win it... can't get much better.

Oh and we have the tie breaker now with Carolina.

Statement Win. Playoffs chances just went WAY up!

Some issues to fix up on the defense though. What McCaffrey did today cannot happen, and we had nothing resembling a pass rush.

Boy were we gashed today. Russ magic, SeaBass accurate, GREAT WIN

They tried to shut down the run and mostly did. But we actually have a Quarterback to punish em

Glad I changed my prediction last night LOL!

Wow what a great game. Felt like a real playoff game. McAffrey is stupid good. We had no answer for him all day. Luckily we made the stops when we had to and made the big plays when we had to. Enough to take down a surging Cam and Panthers team at home.

HUGE WIN!!!!!

Unbelievable come from behind classic Hawk victory. Best game all year. So many clutch plays from Wilson, Lockett, Carson and Sea Bass. Hope is alive for the playoffs!

Too bad we didn't have Tavarius Jackson to throw that 4th down TD pas to Moore or the bomb to Lockett.

I'm sure it would have worked out the exact same way.

Russell Wilson throwing the bomb (and hitting for a TD) to David Moore on 4th and 3??
Wow... balls of iron, huge balls, to make that throw. Just glad they didn't hamper his mobility on that throw to Lockett to set up the game-winning FG.

So proud of the fight in this team. These guys never quit. They very easily could have had a handful of turnovers, but the ball bounced in the Panthers. I don't think this can be understated, Carolina had won their last 10 home games. This was a playoff game - and we won it. Proud of you guys. Go Hawks!

That’s what happens when a team underestimates an Elite QB! Go Russ! DangeRuss

No disclaimer to appease Debbie and Nancy? Russ remains to short game manger?

D played poor, but so did theirs. They couldn't stop RW in the second half. It was a battle and not really outplayed. Recover just one of those 5 fumbles and the game might have been over ages ago.

Point trying to make this wasn't a lucky outplayed win. They freaking earned it.
