Seahawks vs Panthers Divisional Playoffs Review

I am so tired right now...but definitely excited! The Seahawks are in the NFC Conference Championship again! According to ESPN, this is the first time the defending world champions have won a playoff game since the Patriots in 2005. If that's not a sign of an elite team, I don't know what is. There's no time to sleep now, though. We've got to win next week and then kick some ass in February so we can get that repeat! And today was definitely a positive first step in that direction. Last year, if anyone remembers, the Seahawks lost control in the second half of the divisional playoffs and could have lost the game were it not for the fact that New Orleans was flagged for an illegal forward pass to end the game on a ten-second runoff. Yesterday the Seahawks were in control for the whole game. There was never one moment where the Panthers had the lead, and only one where the score was tied. The offense had a terrific game, and the defense was as always dominant. I can see the Seahawks winning it all this year. I feel more confident about this year than I did about last year.
