    Seattle isn't as good as they've looked recently (they are good, but not unbeatable). If we're gonna knock the Packers defense for feasting on weak QBs - since losing to the Chiefs the Seahawks have faced the Cardinals starting Drew Stanton, the 49ers twice with Kaepernick, the Eagles and the sinking Sanchez, and the Cardinals starting Lindley. Not exactly a murderer's row of excellence.

    Dallas can for sure beat Seattle. They've shown a consistent balance on offense that most teams don't.

    The Packers can beat Seattle if they have a game plan like they did vs. the Patriots.

    Can the Packers channel that kind of mojo twice? That remains to be seen.

    Mark Twain attended a Wagner opera and reported "opera isn't as bad as it sounds."

    They beat Pats at home. How'd it go with that "silent count" in Seattle?

    It wasn't the silent count as much as it was the "only work one side of the field" and "let's debut a defense we've tried to avoid in live scenarios to keep it secret" strategy that ended up doing them in.

    And the flawed "play a backup Tackle who they subsequently cut halfway through the season" strategy. Come to think of it, it's almost like they were handicapping themselves on purpose.

    That sickened me that we played so scared against Seattle week one with a QB like Rodgers. Last night, if the QB for the Cards was any good he would have had a 60 yard TD thrown against Richard Sherman. The throw was bad but it still should have been a 40 yard completion... but then the receiver dropped the ball.

    Michael Bennett declared the Seahawks defense the "greatest ever" last night. Of course the Seahawks fans rally around that, talking about how their recent dominance (since the Chiefs game) is so great.

    They then say that injuries aren't an excuse despite the QBs they played. Of course, then you bring up the games vs. the Chiefs and Cowboys, and it's because there were injuries.

    If there's any team and fans that I'd love to see get their bubble burst, it's Seattle.
