The Seahawks defense still has a lot of work to do and injuries are piling up like laundry in a college dorm. However, Seattle got the job done at home against the Panthers on Sunday, taking down Carolina 37-27. After a stunning loss at home in Week 1 to the Rams and an overtime shootout with the Lions last week, winning by 10 points is a comfortable margin and reassuring about this team’s outlook for the season.
Perhaps the most reassuring thing about it was the impact that the crowd made on the game – as the Panthers offense committed eight false start penalties. It’s been years since the building was that loud and if it continues it will help re-establish this team’s lost dominance at home.
As you might expect, Seahawks fans are for the most part elated. Here’s how they have been reacting on social media to this week’s win over Carolina.
