The excuses have begun now. On Sunday, the Panthers came out swinging on the Seahawks jumping to an early 31-0 1st half score. Everybody was shocked, whether you were a fan of either team or not. Nobody saw that coming. Some Seahawks fans seem to think the early start was the sole reason for their team losing and being eliminated.
The Seahawks have played 4 playoff games at 10am under Pete Carroll. They have zero first half points in those four games.

Bad refs, bad field, another 10am start. Seahawks have to work 2x harder than any other team. — cover32 Seahawks (@cover32_SEA) January 17, 2016
@zjwhitman wondering – what is the records for NFC West teams playing 10am games? Is it happening only to Seahawks?

Story on the 10am starts. More a function of west coast wildcard teams, added burden vs non west coast clubs https://t.co/byOZglqtoa — Jeff (@BeastQuake) January 18, 2016
So the @Seahawks had to play 10am pt so the damn @ufc can have free fight night on @FS1. #Ihateyou

Lmao the Panthers game is at 2pm next Sunday. @NFL you are a fuckin joke on how you did @Seahawks with their 5-7 10am games this year!! — MeekLovin (@MikoSuave206) January 18, 2016
I have thought about it and I believe the seahawks lost because of the 10am start.

When will the @NFL understand the disadvantage of west coast teams having to play at 10am PST? @Seahawks#GoHawks#CamSucks — Stevenator (@SteveParkerLive) January 17, 2016
