Could it be set up for a better ending?

[Deputy Nutz]

I would rather have Seattle come into town than New York. The Giants are running the ball extremely well and Brandon Jacobs is a monster back.

What was Hasselbeck's famous coin toss quote? "We're going to score and we're going to win!"

Help me recall the exact quote.

Al Harris, with his interception to end OT and win the playoff game, made sure that quote did not happen.

May history repeat itself!

He said "we want the ball and we're gonna score"

I so want to hear that chant next weekend !!!

Thanks, GBRulz.

We've be counting on you to make the poster and wave it in the crowd!

Seattle has definitely improved in the run the past weeks. Our OT's will be key, if they passblock well, we will have a strong day on offense.

I agree. Tauscher on Kerney is a big matchup.

[Guiness]

I really like the matchup with Seattle, they can only pass the ball on offense, which matches up well against our secondary, plus they have no tight end to speak of but I am sure we can make one a name for himself. The Packers have been attacked lately with opposing team's running game. The Packers can pin their ears back and worry about the pass.

When I first (and second, and third. I'm a little slow) that line, I thought to myself 'as opposed to what, passing it on defense?'

We are better than Seattle, bring them on.

I also think there's a little bit of that "We just watched Seattle win" effect here. The Seabags played, they won, so everyone will be talking about how they won.

They looked good in some areas, for sure. But they also didn't play an especially crisp game. I just hope that McCarthy doesn't have Faver just slinging the ball all over, especially deep.

[The Leaper]

Only if you are dumb enough to rate pass defenses on yardage. Seattle ranks #2 in the NFL in opposing passer rating (behind San Diego), #4 in sacks (behind the Giants, Dallas, and New England), and #10 in opposing 3rd down %. They are actually one of the best pass defenses in the league.

I'm not sure you can say they are one of the best pass defenses in the league when they give up the amount of yardage they do.

Also, you have to look at their numbers ON THE ROAD. At home, they have a huge advantage with the noise...and that pads their defensive numbers. On the road, I'm guessing they are the worst remaining pass defense in the playoffs.

The Packers & Favre beat Holmgren at Lambeau

The Packers & Favre beat Dallas at their place (favre has never won there)

The Packers & Favre beat either the undefeated Patriots and do the impossible, or beat manning and crew (favre being 38, knockin the snot outta a guy that might take his records)

that's cool but it's the toughest route. so.....it could be set up better.

how about:

Pack beats seattle,

ny beats dallas,

Pack beats ny,

Pack beats jacksonville!?

The Seattle defense looked so much better against Washington than it really is. They are not going to get the same pressure on Favre as they did on Collins. Collins wasn't audibiling at the line and he has no escapablility in the pocket. Packers receivers will get open if they bring 5 or 6 guys regularly.

Our passing offense is so much better than Washington's it's not even funny. Collins missed a lot of open receivers. I think we score 28 pts at least on Seattle.

Who have closed two mills now and moved them to Mexico. F them.

You're right, they should have continued losing money and doing things the old way until no one had jobs, not even Mexicans. Then again, maybe Michael Keaton could have just come in, shouted Banzi! and saved the day.

I honestly didn't know that.........you're right.....F them.

No, NOT F em. Read the book "Good to Great" by Jim Collins to understand why they did it. Then you'll say "Oh WOW!"

KC are a hero company of mine, that can take it up with P&G these days. Helluva turnaround. The alternative was bankruptcy.
