Predict The First NET Meltdown...

[AROS]

Just for fun...NOT saying any of these will happen but I'm interested to hear what you think.

 

[BigMeach]

I can see what you chose! nanana

.NET chat, half time of week 1 when we're down 10-0 before dominating the second half.

Those first two options are really brutal; Either one would result in some serious weeping and gnashing of teeth, but I'm going with the Panthers because it seems more 'likely'.

 

[themunn]

the first time we go behind at any point in any game.

even if it's just 0-3 in the first quarter

It already happened when Harvin wasn't participating in the first day of training camp.

For me, personally, it will occur when Aros (definitely) and/or RockHawk (possibly) break their pledge to attend the Seahawks game in Houston.

 

[FlyingGreg]

Definitely losing to the Panthers. I think a vast majority of the fan base has that one inked as a "W" in their season predictions.

Going to be a tough game. Panthers got a lot better last season after we barely beat them... on the road, in the humid heat of the Carolinas in September, 10 am Pacific time, the week 1 anomalies that seem to occur every year .... the usual suspects.

I think we will be itching to make a statement and will win, but that's one of those games could see melting the board down if we lose.

I won't be concerned with the Rams on December 29th, because we'll already have the division won, with a first round bye, and home field advantage. Our starters will be resting.

 

[FargoHawk]

I predict the meltdown will be due to a key Giacomini penalty.

 

[Sarlacc83]

It already happened when Harvin wasn't participating in the first day of training camp.

Good point.

 

[Smelly McUgly]

I'm really going to try not to melt down. There are only sixteen games, though, I treat every one like do-or-die here. Plus losing to the Niners, Rams, or Cardinals is just unacceptable on every level to me.

 

[Hawknight]

First melt down will happen before the season begins ...as soon as someone who we really like gets cut from the team...(just a prediction)

I voted Carolina. I think Seattle goes 8-0 at home again (though Tampa [streaky, weird team] and New Orleans [even bad Saints teams can win anywhere] concern me slightly). Since Qwest/Clink opened in 2002, the Seahawks have had four 10+ win seasons. During those seasons Seattle had a combined home record of 31-1, with the only loss coming to a bad but dangerous Saints team (2007). Add postseason home games by those four teams and the record climbs to 34-1. When Seattle posts 10+ wins, they don't lose at home, period.

As far as the division, all Seattle needs to do is play focused, mistake free football and they will have a very strong shot at 6-0 in the division. Their four most mistake prone games last year were all in division play (the three road games + Rams at home), and they still went 3-3 with a massively positive point differential over those six games despite that.

Losing to Altanta would suck a lot. But not as much as losing to the Colts. Both are at 10am, and both worry me. In the case of the Colts, it's not because they are a good team, but because they are exactly the kind of team that beat us at 10am last year: bad, but clutch as hell. Plus if the Colts win then the idiotic Luck hype-jobbers will never shut up about it. It would please me more to beat the Colts 60-0 than to win at SF 60-0, though obviously I'd like to win both games. Something about the Colts just gets under my skin, and I'd love to see the Seahawks make a statement when they face off.

Carolina scares the hell out of me too, though at least with Carolina we match up very well against their offense. I expect a very tight game. Their defense was on the rise and that was before they added two of the better DTs in the draft. Carolina has drafted well the last few years and the team finally gelled at the end of last season. I think their front office is flying under the radar.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

The fact that the opener is a very close game, and people are freaking out because we didn't win by 3 touchdowns.

 

[FlyingGreg]

@ Houston then @ Indianapolis is a critical 1-2 punch.

 

[Smelly McUgly]

I feel like Indy is going to play down to their Pythag this year, but I guess Andrew Luck is a guy to worry about regardless of the team around him even at this point in his career.

Yeah, but do chat meltdowns really count?

 

[bestfightstory]

I cannot imagine this team following up this Championship offseason with a loss at Carolina.

I think we pisspound the Panthers.

I think either our offense OR our defense shows up and ABSOLUTELY DOMINATES while its counterpart plays competitively enough to secure the win.

@Houston followed by @Indy concern me.

And the home game vs Tampa is a concern, as well.
