Packers have opened as 4 point favourites. I think the spread should be at least a point less given “it’s hard to cheer against russ wilson, he’s such an optimistic and complementary person. A good dude.” Meanwhile our guy is a complete dick.

Come on, you know the league will not suspend him for the game. They'll harumph about reviewing it all carefully, then fine him, maybe suspend him after the game for the first three games of next season or something.

Bill Huber, SI https://www.si.com/nfl/packers/news/special-teams-go-from-hot-mess-to-hot


Through Week 12, Green Bay’s special teams ranked 26th in our five-category rankings. It was a ranking salvaged only by the work of kicker Mason Crosby. Over the final five weeks, it:

- Improved from 21st to 17th in starting field position on a kickoff return.

- Improved from 21st to 18th in opponent starting position following a kickoff.

- Improved from 29th to 21st in opponent net punting average.

- Fell from 21st to 24th in net punting average.

- Fell from fourth to fifth in field-goal percentage.

[pbmax]

While Ervin has delivered consistently good field position, Green Bay’s kickoff-coverage has allowed just 19.5 yards per return the past eight games compared to 29.2 yards the first eight games.

Meanwhile, under Zook, penalties were an enormous issue. Last year, the Packers were guilty of 26 penalties – only one off the league lead. This year, the count is down to 13 – tied for the sixth-fewest.

Interesting how Ervin has changed things. Tremon Smith was not in a good situation for a punt returner. Either because they did not trust him or the blocking was horrendous, he fair caught everything. Ervin returns many more, and more effectively, even though he was cut for a punt return fumble.

But even with kickoffs, he shines compared to Smith. Smith has two 30+ yard returns and Ervin is still out averaging him by 3 yards per kickoff.

I suspect the kick return blocking has been better than the punt return, but having a threat seems to have lifted the efforts of both units.

[Freak Out]

Hawks have played great on the road this year...they will be tough even with ancient RBs on the field. If the Clown get suspended that would help things.

[yetisnowman]

Clowney definitely targeted him. He definitely won't be suspended. I'm not sure where that is coming from. The league issued a statement after the game saying it was determined the contact was incidental. They aren't going to do a 180 in a few days and suspend him. It was just crafty enough on Clowney's part to not look super aggressive and purposeful. But he definitely leaned in to the hit to drive Wentz's head and neck into the ground. Dirty but savvy in a scumbag kind of way.
I really think we are the better team, but frankly Russell is the better qb right now. He is super accurate on deep balls that result in huge plays. Aaron isn't. Execution on those plays could be the difference.
On the other hand Philly hung in there and was a few plays away with McCown. Eliminate the monster plays, and Rodgers just plays pretty good and should be a W.

[pbmax]

Diving headfirst into a player going to the ground should just be an ejection.

Its serves no purpose except to threaten injury. Just need to dive on top of the player if its head first and you don't want them to slide forward or roll for yardage.

[George Cumby]

I spend the second game wondering if we should be more concerned with the Chickens.

[Fritz]

I think this Seattle team is not as good as the one that beat the Packers in 2015, neither offensively nor defensively. I think this Packer defense is better than that year's version, but the offense, I dunno. Rodgers played on one leg in that game, but he was good, really good. Lacy was good, too, but Aaron Jones is a better big threat.

I think the defense will be slightly hamstrung because Wilson is so mobile, but they have some speed on defense now. I think the defense will do its job - this will be on the offense to perform. The offensive line needs to block well, running and passing, and Rodgers, well, he needs to be better than he has been lately.

And the usual no turnovers on offense has to happen.

I think this game's on the offense. The Packers are a better team, IF Rodgers plays better than he has.

Look, I'm a Packers and Rams fan. My dad's side is from Random Lake Wisconsin. I have James Lofton rookie autograph from Packers camp in 77/78? (My dad was a lousy father by the way).
But as was shown in the first round. The league enjoys screwing with you. The Packers are weak this year
They either lose this game or vs SF.

[texaspackerbacker]

As I said, the Saints were/are overrated. I wish I had the guts to predict they would lose in Pick'em (hindsight is 20/20) - I didn't have all that much faith in the Vikings either. I at least gave them the minimum confidence points. The Seahawks just barely got by the worst of the NFC playoff teams. We should dispatch them without too much difficulty.

I hope I am not jinxing this game by saying that the Packers seem to be the better team and really ought to win this game. Seattle's defense ain't what it used to be, nor is the offense. Wilson is carrying that team.

The Packers have shown their top vulnerabilities: On offense it is the speed rush, on defense, it is defending the run. The Seahawks have the ability and inclination to speed rush like SF or San Diego. Their best strategy would be to come after Rodgers with wild abandon. On offense, a mobile Wilson always keeps them in the game and will be key, especially since they will struggle to run against even a weak Packer run defense. Seattle has the remarkable tendency to play to the level of their opponents and to almost always be in the game to the bitter end. The Packers inefficient and inconsistent offense will oblige, unless they unleash a heretofore unseen package for the playoffs (such as say 5 plays directed to Jace Sternberger in the middle of the field - this is unlikely considering Sternberger has a 100% drop rate). If the Packers aren't ready for the Seattle pass rush, they can easily drop this game as well.

[Freak Out]

Run the damn ball. Just keep giving it Jones and Williams and let Arod kill them when they least expect it.

[RashanGary]

Defense has been consistently dominant in the redzone. The Seahawks defense has been consistently below avererage.

This is a game we should win. The Packers offense needs to stick with what it does best because the Seahawks aren't good enough to stop them. If the Packers line up and trick themselves by trying to trick the opponent, we lose.

[bobblehead]

I get this, but are you still that afraid of this year's Saints after that performance at home?

I spend the second game wondering if we should be more concerned with the Chickens.

Always been my argument about cheering for a certain opponent. You want to play whoever lost, not whoever won. But you always have to play the team that played better last week.

This seems like a good spot for my quick analysis. So....I was cheering for a team! I'm glad we drew the seahawks. Our bane all season has been the TE position, and its a strength for Philly and a weakness for the Seahawks.

Also, our weakness is our own TE position, and no one neutralizes the TE better than Bobby Wagner (except Jimmy Graham). Basically the strength of their defense eliminates something we don't have anyway.

I expect a lot of running between the tackles sort of like the Dallas game to neutralize Wagner's pursuit ability. Right at the gut. Put a helmet on Wagner straight up. Play action deep passes. Could this be the game MVS catches a deep pass (instead of dropping them)?

My Biggest fear in losing this Game is Turnovers...After Watching the Badgers Shit the Bed like fat kids on 50 cent taco night I have a feeling it will come down to what team Capitalizes on the Turnover Battle. The ball will be Slick during the late game making this game a Coin Toss.

Okay, whew. Thank you CleftCrusty. I feel worse now, which is to say, I feel better.

If Seattle uses speed and goes after Rodgers and can shut down the run (or if The Flower pulls a McCarthy and abandons the run early), then the defense will be forced to both contain Wilson (which negates the wild rushes of Dr. Z) yet pressure him enough to keep him off balance. No easy task.

It's just that the Packers defensive weaknesses - good running backs and tight ends - are lacking for Seattle. And if The Flower puts the game in Aaron Jones's hands instead of Rodgers's hands, Green Bay really is, I think, more talented. It's one of those games where if they don't win, I'll be really pissed. This is unlike the NFC Championship game against Atlanta a few years ago, where it was abundantly clear the Packers did not have the speed to keep up with anything Atlanta did, offensively or defensively. I didn't feel too awful about that game - the Packers were clearly inferior.

[RashanGary]

Seattle defense just isn't very good. The linebackers make running a little more difficult. Might be a big game for the passing gsme, honestly. Lazard and Adams are the two most reliable we have.

And like bobble said, MVS might get a couple deep shots. I expect AR to hone in to prevent a repeat performance

[RashanGary]

Seattle should bracket Adams, stop the run and hope Lazard and MVS can't beat them. That's the obvious way to play vs green bay.

So..... Can Lazard, Allison and MVS catch the ball? Let's hope

[Cleft Crusty]

I feel worse now, which is to say, I feel better.

How do you bracket Adams and double up Jones? That leaves nobody to spy AR and Lazard can have a career game.

[RashanGary]

Seahawks season injuries

Lost starting center for year in october
Missing left tackle
Mychal Kendricks out

Clowney has core injury so their pass rush is blah

It's gonna come down to containing Wilson. Hes good at escaping one guy, but we easily have three guys who can win one on ones against a beat up OL

[RashanGary]

How do you bracket Adams and double up Jones? That leaves nobody to spy AR and Lazard can have a career game.

I would take my chances on Lazard if I'm a DC

I hope you’re right, gotta like you’re optimism.
But that Russell Wilson is like a slippery Eel and that Beast Mode freak is giving me nightmares right now.

[esoxx]

And if The Flower puts the game in Aaron Jones's hands instead of Rodgers's hands, Green Bay really is, I think, more talented.

Well yeah but that's the issue right there. The Flower could put the game in Aaron Jones's hands and Rodgers could audible it right out of his hands and in to his own. Whether the Pack runs or passes on any given play is ultimately up to the QB. That's not necessarily a bad thing given AR's experience and heft, but it could be if AR gets too pass happy.

[RashanGary]

Rodgers may need to run for 2 first downs
Seattle is gonna dare Lazard to make a few plays. Let's hope he does.
Teams are gonna dare us to go deep now, until we hit it. Let's hope we do.

And then even if they're playing the run let's hope we can be steady with 3 or 4 yards and no penalties.


Defensively.... Redzone stands will be needed

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Rodgers has been running less and less. Not sure anyone assigns a spy to him anymore.

Teams still spy on the Great Arm of Butte to keep him in the "well", or pocket. They'd rather face Pocket Rodgers than Scrambling Rodgers. Detroit did alotta spying a couple of weeks ago. In fact, so much, Patrica looked like an Iranian spy.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

I, too, would be pass happy if Flowers was covering. Tre Flowers plays like Gunter out there. Attack the Flowers!

[RashanGary]

Ain't gonna "stop" Wilson so have to hold them to 3 a couple times. Defenses can get more aggressive down there cuz the endzone takes away the deep threat. We need to get 2 or 3 guys to him to stop him

[Anti-Polar Bear]

The OC, Brian Schottenheimer, was around when McCarthy was in Kansas City. Seattle runs alotta the matchup based stuff that McCarthy did once upon a time in Green Bay. They even have the scrambling drill shit that A-Rod once made famous. J-Alex likely will be shadowing Lockett. Will King be able to shut down DK Metcalf, whom Gutekunst shoulda drafted?

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Ain't gonna "stop" Wilson so have to hold them to 3 a couple times. Defenses can get more aggressive down there cuz the endzone takes away the deep threat. We need to get 2 or 3 guys to him to stop him

I ain't too worried. Lil Russell has never been able to impregnate Lambeau Field. But should I be worried? King ain't as good as many Pack fans think he is, and Metcalf is better than many Pack fans think he is.

Could someone please explain the rules of playoff overtime now? I thought they played an extra full fifteen minutes, but apparently not.

[run pMc]

My understanding is it's 15 minute qtrs until someone wins, and it's sudden death - if a team scores a TD or safety, game is over immediately; HOWEVER if the 1st team scores a FG, other team gets a chance to tie/win.
Teams get 3 TOs and there are no coaches challenges - all challenges are done by the replay refs.
There are probably some other details I'm missing and I'm sure Google can be your friend on this.

[pbmax]

Could someone please explain the rules of playoff overtime now? I thought they played an extra full fifteen minutes, but apparently not.

There was a year or two where there were different OT rules (sudden death and modified sudden death). They are now using the new modified for all games. Just no opportunity for another tie.

My recommendation to Packer fans would be to watch that game right up to the final interception and then turn it off, assuming, like a Bond villain, that the rest of the game will go to plan.

Packer d train:

7th turn over percentage
12th redzone scoring percentage
14th passing ypg

Thats a solid defense playing it's best ball down the stretch. Six weeks ago they got a bye week, cleaned some stuff up and applied it well. Now they can take that momentum and the young guys can gel together even further considering they all stayed healthy and played together.

These are better teams coming up,. But we match wrll to the injury riddled run game and now pass first offense of Seattle. Also, our guys are young but have stayed healthy all year so this bye week should really being them together further.

I EXPECT a really good game from the D. Seattle is the best offense we've played in a while so i do expect about 20 points given up.

Can the offense score 21?

I think the key defensively is to not give up chunk plays. If they're gonna score make their offense put together a 12 play drive.

If we score 20+ it should be a win.

Like said above... Bulaga played half a game then got a week off. Dude is gonna be in tip top shape and knows how to play football. That's good.

But Clark is our second best defender. I really hope he's healthy. Don't want to see too much Montravious.

[RashanGary]

Zadarius
Clark
Preston
Alexander
King
Amos
Martinez

That's probably our top 7 defenders. We have guys who can make big plays. We Really do have a good defense. Clark makes life harder for Wilson. Really hope he's available.

Didn't think we could beat NO... but since MINN did us a favor, sort of.... not sure we can beat SEA either, lol.

Wilson is so much better than Rodgers, I think it's an uphill battle. If we can dominate TOP, we have a chance. If we are dependent on Rodgers, we're one and done.

Lol, Wilson is a better player but we certainly don't need everything to go right to have a chance.

[Cheesehead Craig]

That's the bad news. Good news is Bulaga and Linsley look ready to go.

Joe Buck and Troy Aikman with the call. Might as well get used to it. They'll be calling the Super Bowl. :pack::glug::pack:
Vitale was a limited participant but it had nothing to do with injury.

I liked when he threw 5 INTs against the Packers. I'm no Rodgers apologist, but this is just what you do so why am I responding.

What is it with torture porn this week? 2 years out of the playoffs and everyone thinks they are the (former) Cubs.

I'm pretty sure Clark will be out thete Sunday. Playoffs and all that. But I am concerned at how ineffective he becomes when he has to play while injured. Not his fault. But they need him to be disruptive Sunday.

Same with Preston Smith. Beginning of the season, it was the Smith Brothers wreaking havoc. But Preston has fallen off the cliff, probably due to injury. They need him to be a force again on Sunday.

Yep! I'm so disappointed that Clark has a back. I hope he's fine. Same for Preston.

Zadarius is our best defender but Clark is a very close second. Very close. We NEED him if we want to be at our best

Slightly less worried about the Seahawks:

Mike Garafolo @MikeGarafolo
#Eagles QB Josh McCown tore his hamstring off the bone vs #Seahawks. Surgery coming, as @Tim_McManus said. Sources say it’s a six-month recovery. He’ll basically be laid up for six weeks.

Mike Garafolo @MikeGarafolo
Injury happened in the second quarter for McCown. Played through it. Remarkable toughness. There were also no more QBs left because Nate Sudfeld was inactive.

The Packers very own Bill Buckner moment. Maybe if they win another Super Bowl they can bring him back for a field appearance like Boston did with Buckner and all the wounds will be healed (mostly).

Me likes reading stuff like this:

In their history, Seattle has a 4-11 record on the road in the postseason and has never won at Lambeau Field in the playoffs (0-2).
Overall, the Packers are 11-3 at home against the Seahawks and have won their last eight straight at home against them.

[pbmax]

My feeling is that the Packers will win. As per usual this season, it will not likely be dominant, it will b painful at times and we won't get an answer to the Rodgers dilemma about ignoring certain receivers.

I'll take the ugly uncertainty.

So to let the rats know how lucky I am, last night I got a call from an old friend who asked if I wanted to go to game cause he had extra ticket. I cried like a baby and told him I was sick in bed with the flu. P.s. I almost went anyway ��

You think it's easy to be me? Being constantly pessimistic, worrying about the other team's strengths and Green Bay's weaknesses? Even when the team is leading by two touchdowns I think back to that NFC Championship game in 2015. No lead is safe, no score causes unadulterated joy for me. It can always go into the toilet in the blink of an eye.
