    Capers did exactly what I expected him to do... he came out with his small bag of the little tricks to start the game, he ran some 3-4 and he covered everyone one up pretty well - then he reverted to his nature, i.e. the 2-4.

    Can't remember what series it was... 2nd quarter I think, he came out and lined up in his default 2-4 alignment, and that was it - all coordinating and coaching went out the window. It was autopilot 2-4 after that. He sprinkled in a couple of wrinkles here and there, but for the most part, he reverted to his default defense - the 2-4.

    It was a disaster - just as it's been a disaster for the last few years. Capers had 2 months to draw a gameplan for this game - and this is what we got... more of the same.

    I'm dead serious when I say he should be fired today - it would be an unprecedented move, but the season is lost already b/c of Dom. Cut him loose now, and maybe they can right the ship by the end of the season.
    I saw everything from a 4-3 to a 0-6 last night. From what I saw the most popular formation was a 3-3 with Peppers at end. But your obsession with formations doesn't matter, every formation requires tackling. Every formation in football requires that you not rack up penalties. Despite the poor individual efforts Capers's D kept the Seahawks to 4/11 on 3rd down. Considering how terrible the offense was, there are a LOT of brass and players that deserve blame before Capers. I'm no Capers fan, give him a chance and he'll give you a chance to say I told you so. This definitely wasn't it.

    The two things I worry about with this team are nose tackle and the sight of Sherrod taking the field. That's not too bad of a worry list compared to other teams.

    Nobody seems to be taking the Packers, but I will.
    Rodgers will be masterful, Hyde & Hayward will make big plays.
    Packers : 31
    Seahawks 24

    The great QBs always manage to put together games over the course of their career where they can't be stopped, no matter the opponent.

    Rodgers is due for one of those.

    I'll go Pack 27 Seattle 24. I think our elite offense is better than their elite defense. I think our defense will surprise. JMO of course.
    All hail the Ruler of the Meadow!

    Jump ball in the end zone as time expires, sherman has the pick but Cobb steals it, the call is TD.

    As much as I'd love to see this, I say lets save this particular play for the NFC Championship game. It'll hurt more.

    Packers 24-20

    Packers 24
    Seahawks 14

    Wilson gets picked twice, new D off to hotter start than O.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    Boykin shines and Sherman publicly apologizes for farting from his face drain too often.

    I hope we beat the seachickens just to shut their arrogant fans up. Ever since the SB they think they are the best thing since sliced bread.

    Not joining the group drunk on Kook Aide for this one. Packers won't win this game. Wilson is an emerging QB and I'm not confident GB will pressure him enough for him to make more than one mistake..and we need that.
    When AROD is facing 3rd and 7 in key situations, we'll have multiple rookies lined up at C,TE,WR....as Seattle is bringing the house. We don't have the horses to win this one early on.

    Seattle wins 24-`16
    LIFE IS ABOUT CHAMPIONSHIPS; I JUST REALIZED THIS. The MILWAUKEE BUCKS have won the same number of championships over the past 50 years as the Green Bay Packers. Ten years from now, who will have more championships, and who will be the fart in the wind ?

    Expectations are already low for me. A win would be great, getting out of this game healthy is my goal. Packers are clearly the underdog.

    I have visions of Lynch breaking tackles and running for 10 - 12 yards at a shot. The defense playing undisciplined and letting Wilson scramble for 1st downs.

    Ugh, this game is gonna suck.

    Packers 17, Seattle 34

    That's kind of the way I see it too...

    A victory for us would be keeping the score from getting out of hand, and getting out of the game healthy.

    We have 15 more games after this one to try and build up toward the playoffs... my hope is that the players will mature and gel over the course of the season, so that come playoff time we will be a legitimate contender.

    On a selfish note - I need Harvin to go off... I benched Nelson and put Harvin in my starting lineup in one of my money leagues

    Shit.

    I have to play Harvin, too.

    Pack 24 Sea dipshits 21 on last second Crosby goal kick.

    I'm rootin' for my money fantasy team to lose.

    Man, I'm getting nervous already.

    Almost every one of the self anointed "experts" is picking Seattle to win - http://nflpickwatch.com/ - the only exception is some shmo from Bleacher Report. Bleacher Report doesn't have the mojo to disrupt the karmic reality.

    Packers are a virtual lock to win tonight.

    The main reason most are picking the seachickens is because they all think our defense will be the same mess we had last year. It is inconceivable to them that our D could get any better. On other forums with fans of all teams only Packer fans give us much of a chance and when we do we're called hopeless homers. I hope we surprise a few people tonight.
