The Seattle Seahawks are riding high after beating one of the best teams in the NFL in a hotly-contested bout against the Detroit Lions.

This was exactly what Seattle needed after a rough opener against the Rams.

Now, the focus for the Seahawks turns to a struggling Panthers team, and they should have one singular goal in this matchup; dominate one of the worst teams in the NFL.

There is an easy way to tell just how good a "good" team is-how they handle games against inferior opponents (in addition to how they play against their better competition).

The Seahawks appear to be good. The Panthers appear to be terrible and they will be without their starting quarterback.

The outcome should be obvious before the game even starts.

There is no middle ground here. If the Seahawks really do want to prove themselves as a deep playoff contender, they need this game to be dominance personified. 

What the Cowboys did against the Giants in Week 1 should be a good place to start.

It seems hard to imagine the Panthers will find any way to keep this game close, but anything like that happening would be bad news for Seattle.
