Seahawks Win Mariners Don't

The Seahawks beat the Carolina 

Panthers at home 37-27. A big difference 

was the Seahawks had five field goals

while the Panthers had two.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter

the Panthers scored a touchdown to

make it 22-20. Just about three minutes 

later Ken Walker scored his second

touchdown of the game making it 

29-20.  About five minutes remaing in

the game the Panthers went on fourth and seven after a penalty in their own territory

and didn't make it. Had they punted they

may have had a better chance in winning.

Jake Bobo caught a five yard touchdown

less than a minute later and Tyler Lockett

made the two point conversion making it

37-20. The Panthers scored a touchdown

at 1:40 left in the game. Had they decided to punt instead and stopped the Seahawks

they may have won. We will never know.

The Panthers threw for over 300 yards while rushing for 44 yards. Showed the

Seahawks did good job against the run

and still need to improve against the

pass. Geno Smith completed 23 of 36

passes for 297 yards, one touchdown

and an interception. Besides the two

touchdowns Ken Walker had 97 yards

on 18 carries. Second round  rookie Zach Carbonnet had nine carries for 46 yards.

Both averaged over five yards a carry.

Though he had no touchdowns DK

Metcalf had a good day catching six

passes for 112 yards.

Next week the Seahawks play the 

New York Giants on the road on

Monday night football. The Seahawks

always seem to do well. The Giants 

on the other hand are 1-2 scoring

43 points while giving up 98 points

in the three games. The Seahawks could win. 

The Mariners lost to the the Texas 

Rangers for the third time so they were swept in Texas. The Mariners come home 

to finish the season. Three against the

Astros and four against the Rangers.

The Mariners can still win the division

or make the wild card however they

really need to win four of the remaining

games at least to do so.  T-Mobile

Park should be full and noisy. The 

Mariners need to go with their

best lineup. Sunday's final

was Texas 9 Mariners 8. Luis Castillo

should start on Monday against the

Astros.  Go.M's.
