    I think the Packers and Dallas both have the ability to play with Seattle. The reason is their ability to effectively throw downfield effectively. You have to be able to do that against them. If you just throw short all day, their big DB's will pummel you. Both teams can run enough to make Seattle respect play-action, both have offensive lines good enough to give their QB time, both have a top deep threat, both havea QB who can throw deep and move around enough to buy time. Dallas already did beat Seattle this year. However, if the Packers end up the #2 seed, and Dallas #3, the Packers and Dallas would meet in the divisional round.

    Me thinks we is in trouble if we meet Seattle in Seattle. Does anybody know how the playoff schedule looks? Maybe we get lucky and Seattle loses before we meet them in the playoffs. I think Dallas could beat Seattle, Dallas is getting hot at the right time. Green Bay is not getting hot at the right time.

    Getting the #2 seed would be very helpful for a lot reasons. We could be Seattle on the road, but I wouldn't bet on it. This team hasn't shown me they're up to that task.

    ** This Poll might should have been posted next week yet all the same:

    The (2) Green Bay Packers (if the Packers defeat Detroit in Week 17):

    Do the Green Bay Packers have a chance to be in the Super Bowl? Realistically that's possible with their high powered offense. Aaron Rodgers is the premiere QB in the NFL and he has weapons in WR's Jordy Nelson and randall Cobb and Company. Eddie Lacy is just great as the RB Green Bay needed to take some heat off the passing game.

    The Green Bay Packers and being realistic. The NFC representative for the Super Bowl. The Packers best chance disappeared Week 15 in Buffalo.

    Home field advantage is huge for the Green Bay Packers. For some reason the Green Bay Packers don't play well on the road. To get to the Super Bowl how can that be magically reversed? ** The Packers have to win the NFCN. The Packers need some help in terms of another team handling Seattle, a tall order. That has to come with Green Bay defeating the Detroit Lions this coming Sunday.

    I see two teams in the NFC with a good shot to play New England in the Super Bowl. I see both (2) Green Bay and (4) Detroit on the outside of both (1) Seattle and (3) Dallas.

    The (1) Seattle Seahawks Offense:

    Seattle is playing lights out right now. That result to date has been peaking stadily over the last five weeks. If you watched last nights game in Arizona your aware that game demonstrated pure domination. The Seahawks 'O' had 596 total yards Vs an NFL's top-five defense.

    The combination of Russell Wilson and *** Marshawn Lynch has always been formidable. Now it's much more as Russell Wilson is growing in confidence and creativity. Russell Wilson is difficult to disrupt and his ability to scramble takes away the blitz.

    *** Marshawn Lynch's run last night for six was the best offensive play I'vge seen all season. That was nothing short of spectacular and deserves the Offensive Play Of The Year Award. If you missed it here it is:

    Seahawks react to Marshawn Lynch's run: "He's a bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, continue to say bad, man"

    Tony Drovetto ... Seahawks.com Writer & Producer


    Seattle is peaking at the right time and the NFL's most complete team is rising to hit on all cylinders. The biggest thing I see is a real team effort led by a very solid Head Coach who's into every play. Pete Carroll coach's a team that celebrates every single play among themselves and he celebrates with them.

    The (1) Seattle Seahawks DEFENSE.

    There is 'only' one other team in the NFC that plays better on defense 'on paper' and that's the Detroit Lions. The Seattle defense is 'the Predator'. Seattle has allowed 6.7 points and 169 total yards per game over the past three weeks.

    The Legion of BOOM is for real and a terrific secondary. Richard Sherman's dominance and Byron Maxwell's closing speed and tackling ability adds to the outstanding play of FS Earl Thomas and SS Kam Chancellor. They have a solid front seven in DE"s Michael Bennett and Cliff Avril and DT's Tony McDaniel and Kevin Williams. OLB's Bruce Irvin and K.J. Wright team up very well with the outstanding playoff MLB Bobby Wagner.

    They all play like Pro Bowlers.


    (3) Dallas is solid and 'Road Warriors'.

    I'm pulling for Dallas because they managed a win this season in Seattle and therefore get a nod over the Green Bay Packers as a team more likely to defeat (1) Seattle . Tony Romo is playing the best I've seen him play. He's focused and in command looking very confident behind a solid OL with pin point pass's to his receivers Dez Bryant, Terrence Williams, Cole Beasley, Dwyane Harris and TE Jason Witten. RB Demarco Murray should be back to full speed. We know how excellent he's been this season. He's one very mentally tough man to be out there contributing in Week 16 after a left hand operation for a broken bone earlier in the week.

    The Dallas Defense is ranked 22nd. That's not good in any rematch with Seattle. Yet the fact remains that Dallas travels well and has already defeated Seattle in their house this season.

    The (4) Detroit Lions:

    This Lions team is capable. This Lions team is finally looking much more healthy. This Lions team has a formidable DEFENSE.

    This Lions team has to do something next Sunday that it rarely does. It must defeat a Green Bay Team that looks near impossible to defeat in Lambeau Field.

    They were also fooling around full time with the no huddle and running everyone out of set alignments that did not vary in the entire drive.

    So it was easy to lock up WR in bump and run coverage. If you think back to when the offense finally launched itself this season, suddenly there was motion and WR stacks that made man coverage a much harder proposition. Plus in the last 2 weeks, Cobb has been in the backfield to get him single non press coverage on LBs.

    It won't be the same story if they play them again, even if they avoid Sherman.

    I DO hope the silent count has some different timing this time around, after Linsley has eight games of experience.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    I'd like to see the Packers win the next four in a row.

    Da Pack are da Team of Destiny should they win the North. If, and only if, they win the North. And I'm not just saying that b/c I'm biased.

    It's a QB-plagued league, so think about it. The guy that OWNS the Packers, Colin "Poser" Kaepernick won't be in the dance. True story: As a one share owner of the Packers, I was at the last shareholder meeting, and lo and behold, there was Kap sitting next to me - I mean, the dude owns the Packers. I was like, yo, Kap, haters say Wilson and RGIII don't act black enough; well, you don't act white enough, dude.

    Furthermore, the only QB in the NFC who isn't intimated by Rodgers' presence, Drew "Hotshot" Brees, won't be in the dance. You could cut off Brees golden right arm and he would still be capable of beating the Packers with his left arm. That's how good Brees is.

    Romo is Romo. He's prone to choking when the pressure intensifies in the clutch. Dude's so bad in the clutch, he mishandled a PAT one time in a playoff game. A fucking PAT! Yo mama's so fat, she farted and made Romo mishandle an easy PAT in the clutch. Ha-ha Clinton's dix!

    Matt Stafford, love the guy. Unselfish and humble. How unselfish and humble? Stafford is the only alpha male in the world who would help a loser virgin lose his virginity to a hot chick instead of fucking the hot chick himself. No, the guy ain't gay. He's just nice and humble. A gunslinger, through an through. Good news for the Packers, the new administration in Detriot prohibits Stafford from gunslinging. A gunslinger needs to gunsling. If he doesn't, well, shit happens.

    Ice Ice Baby (Matt "Ice Ice Baby" Ryan) could give the Packers some problems, but Atlanta's defense lost its pride when Sherman marched into that lost city and sunk it underwater. Matt Flynn would have little problems eating out alive that Falcon D.

    That Midget of the Great Northwest is overrated. He's not the athlete Kap is. A game manager, through and through. Now the midget's D is great. Gulls defensive linemen are C4MR. The LBers are fast and furious. The safeties are MOFOs. The Corners? Well, Sherman is a great field general. Rodgers is scared of this D, alas.

    Shucks, Rodgers hasn't played at an elite level in his last few playoff games. In a QB-plagued league - yes, plagued - Rodgers needs to carry the Packers. He needs to be the QB of Destiny.
