As has been pointed out by myself and others - it all depends on if the Packers offense is willing to take what the Seahawks give. That means be content with a short/middling dink/dunk type game instead of playing home run ball. Assuming it's Packers/Seahawks in the NFC Championship, you'd have to guess that Seattle will play a lot of 2 deep safety or cover 3 and dare the Packers to run and/or be content with short passes. They did that yesterday vs. the Lions and - what do you know - they methodically moved the ball down the field and put up 28 points and 377 yards of offense up on the #1 DVOA defense (or the #2 defense in the NFL's regular stats). They even ran the ball more than they passed it yesterday, with 23 passes and 38 rushing attempts.
The key will be what Capers can scheme in this hypothetical matchup. They should hopefully play it smarter than they did the first game. No experimental packages they were trying to "hide" during the offseason, no freaking out about Percy in motion. Just keep Wilson unsettled (aka Matthews playing spy) and do your best to contain Lynch. Our corners should be able to handle their WRs. And no Brad Jones. Leave him in Wisconsin, please.
