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.
Buy Seahawks TicketsAs 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.
I drove by Lumen Field yesterday afternoon while the Seahawks were inside beating the piss out of Carolina. I swear I could hear the 12's from the freeway #seahawks #nfl pic.twitter.com/f787ruoF2U

I still can’t believe the Seahawks can find someone like Jake Bobo that everyone loves & he actually caught a touchdown in the 1st 3 weeks of the season.

#Seahawks Defense just needs to be average for this team to make some noise! And need to be healthy
— Ninja (@hawksninja) September 25, 2023
If the #Seahawks are going to make a run this year, it’ll probably be by following the 2005 model of elite offense and a decent, opportunistic defense; or so coming as close to that 11 false starts record as we did today is very appropriate.

Week 3 is a dub. what a way to shine, @Kenneth_Walker9 @zachcharbon @GenoSmith3 @dkm14 @jaxon_smith1 @TDLockett12. #seahawks #win #NFL

Gotta say, I’m absolutely thrilled that the #Seahawks won today, but Jaxon Smith-Njigba’s role thus far remains one of the most confusing parts to this early season. It’s difficult not to wonder if his injury is affecting him much more than it was initially reported.

Hey #seahawks fans: our team is down both starting tackles, RCB, SS, TE1, RG and we just put up 37 points and held our opponents to 27. We also have the giants next week then a week 5 bye. We’re looking more and more like a 3-1 team that’s *just* starting to gel. LFG

I tell ya what, it felt like this was like the Giants game from 2005. The 12th man generated 11 false starts against NY that day. Today, the crowd was on fire; eight false starts. Ironically, the #Seahawks play the Giants next on MNF. Great team win for the Hawks at home, 37-27.

I feel like if we can get rid of the sloppy blown coverages by Michael Jackson, Quandre Diggs and J love then this could be a really good defense 10-15. the pass rush is heating up and run d is awesome just need the secondary to stop with the dumb blown coverages #Seahawks

With @Kenneth_Walker9 I wasn't so in on Zach Charbonnay being drafted that high.
After today, I am ecstatic.
We got 2 DAWGS in that backfield but I still think K9 is the lead pony. With the Penny/Carson debacle clearly behind us, I once again love this backfield. #Seahawks— Walker Miles (@GodzBurnerAcct) September 25, 2023

Great game and win against my better half and FIL’s team.
Loved the 12’s energy, impressed by Witherspoon, finally like and appreciate someone with the last name Bobo, lol. Good stuff considering all of the injuries.
