Observations from watching the Seahawks...

[packers11]

I think the 'BIG FIVE' could be very effective vs the seattle defense... They have talented LB's and love keeping on the field, and this might be the right counter attack for it...

I think we'll need to run the ball (and obviously not turn the ball over) more than anything.

Packer's keys to getting a W:

1. Keep Favre's jersey clean. The Seahawk's only real hope in this game is pressuring our offense into turnovers.

2. Pressure Hass. He is too good of a QB to let him sit back there and have time to find targets.

3. Crosby will need to be clutch in this game.

I think if Tracy White, K-Rob, and the rest of the ST's have the kind of game they're capable of, then Seattle doesn't have a chance with the Packers' having a short field. Anyone know how Seattle's ST's are?

I would prefer attacking the LBs by putting RBs into some routes. I like 3 WR sets with a TE and RB...let Koren and Lee eat them up in the slot.

Man, how did you not win coach of the year?

I think Woodbuck is starting at Right Guard this week and backing up Center

Woody takes one to the house.

I don't think TT will let Woodbuck on the roster after all the nasty things he's said.

Without the architectural amplification of their home crowd noise, the D Line of the Seahawks won't be off the ball as fast as they were versus Wash.

yOU ALL ARE GIVING THE hAWKS WAY TOO MUCH credit. They were 3-5 on the road in a crappy division. We are better than them and the Packers will show it come Saturday.

GBRulz has not started the official game prediction thread yet, but I want to go on record predicting a close Packer win.

Packers 30

Sea Urchins 27

gonna be close, but low scoring.

Seattle will come ready to play. Click below to see how they played in the divisional round last year:

I like the thinking. Force Seattle into personnel packages that don't allow them to feature their strengths. Five wides, or, to me, four wides and a running back. I hate to see Favre without a running back to help block in case of blitzes, or to have as a threat to hand the ball to, so defenders can't just pin their ears back and rush.
