I think the biggest question in this game is the flags... I'm SURE the Seahawks DBs will test the refs and see if they're willing to keep throwing flags, or if they do as they have in the past, gotten used to PI and not throw the flag on them every time.


Honestly I think I'd kind of love AND hate this idea... but Packers are working from behind, Rodgers throws a hail mary pass... it's not caught but out comes 3 flags for a clear PI call.... moves Packers into scoring and either a short pass or Lacy bulling his way into the end zone for the touchdown and the win. [grin1]


Of course it'd be nice to not need any flag help to win [-o<

I expect a loss in this game just like last year in San Francisco.
We'll play a good game and get screwed on a few calls.
I want to see us run the ball on them and keep moving the chains.
That team absolutely destroyed the so called greatest offense ever assembled last year in the Super Bowl.
To take them lightly and expect a win is pretty foolish.

Make no mistake about it, I certainly want the Packers to come out victorious (and healthy). I just do not see how they can beat Seattle Seahawks.

Seahawks good running game vs Packers weak run defense. edge Seahawks.

Seahawks best back four secondary vs Packers high flying passing game. edge Seahawks.


Seahawks are a more physical and punishing team than the Packers and that crowd is gonna stifle the no-huddle far more than it will do good against the Seahawks.


The only thing I'm seeing from fans saying Packers will win is ... cuz they will! Quite a bit of koolaid there, which hey no issue there. I just am curious on the HOW they will win. You know, other than by scoring at least one point more than the enemy lol

Precisely.

The biggest thing the Pack has got going for it, besides Rodgers, is that everything is against them.
That makes the Packers very dangerous.

The Packers are deemed the lesser team,
the lesser team
can always find somewhere soft to attack.

Seattle also has a fairly weak offensive line and their running game I think is a bit overrated.
Our defense overall actually looks like it matches up pretty well with their offense.
Their line is really weak on the interior where we are weak vs the run (we have the adv there as far as pass rushing), they are strong at the T positions but that's where we are strong on D at OLB.
The big issue for us is going to be if our offensive line can hold up because we've got the horses on the outside and in the backfield to do some damage no matter what D they face.
Seattle is certainly the most talented team on the schedule this year but GB rarely gets blown out so I'm expecting it to be an exciting game win or lose.

I expect a wide open scoring fest in contrast to the last time we were there.
The officials are going to be calling all those illegal contact penalties early in the season, if not the whole season, but for sure in the beginning. That will hurt defenses like Seattle's whose strength is their secondary.

Our strength on O is magnified while there's is descreased. I like that setup.


Harvin is a Packer killer and I expect him to go off in this game.


40+ from Seattle on us... I just don't know how many we can put on them.


Gimme a 48-47 Packers win ala October 17, 1983.
Not sure we'll get it but that's what I want.

Who has a better game running the ball?

Lynch or Lacy?

There will also be two quarters of lulls, but we'll have a chance at the end.

I tried to feel those "positive waves"
[obscure cinema reference], but I just can't.

Seattle 38, GB 17.

Rodgers sacked seven times.
Seattle has time of possession by nearly 10 minutes.

Sorry, dudes, its going to be a 6-10 year.
