Official Packers - Seahawks Game Thread 1/18/15

I'm really hoping it doesn't get sloppy. I'd hate to lose this thing based on a receiver losing his footing and a defender getting a pick 6 as a result.

It's pouring now. TV just had a shot of Arod under an umbrella and a torrent of rain coming down.

Too bad it's on turf. A muddy field would at least be awesome, classic football speaking.

I remember a classic Packer game (I think it was in Baltimore and a playoff) in the Glory Days. All the Packers on offense were covered with mud. Paul Hornung's uniform was a solid sheet of mud. ...EXCEPT Bart Starr's uniform was absolutely clean as if it had just come out of the dryer. LOL

No mud perhaps, but if they pull out a win today, this game goes down in the annals of all-time great wins and cements McCarthy (needs a win like this and maybe another Super Bowl) and Rodgers (inevitable but today would cross him over the rubicon as an all-time great) into immortality. Strong statement perhaps but an upset win on the road like this under potentially extreme conditions against the defending Super Bowl Champs as a huge underdog at the toughest place in the league to play in the NFC Championship? That tops the NFC Championship in Chicago. Other than the historic weight of the rivalry, the Bears weren't in the same league as this Seattle team in terms of accomplishment and quality.

The first game I ever saw was a rainy, muddy game against Detroit in 1974, about age 7. Shockingly, my mom was screaming and yelling at the TV! I got to deliver the paper the next day and the headline in the sports section (in Iowa, no less) was "Lions sink in mud." Packer fan ever since.
