WHO TERRIFIES YOU in the PLAYOFFS

SEATTLE


Dear Packerrats

Russell Wilson and the Seahawks are coming. They look like the best team in the NFC

[Joemailman]

Nobody terrifies me. But I think the Packers and Seattle are clearly the class of the NFC. Both teams have a great homefield advantage, so whoever is the #1 seed will probably be favored to win the NFC. It's looking like the Packers may need to win out to get the #1 seed.

[Bretsky]

Seattle is a very rough matchup for us
They have the defense to dominate that game now that they are healthy and the QB traits we struggle with

I don't want to see them

[Cheesehead Craig]

The injury fairy. If we're healthy, I like our chances vs anyone.

I don't think the Packers struggle with running QB's as much as the did a couple of years ago. The Packers are much more athletic in their front 7 than they were then. Peppers outside, Clay inside, and Ha-Ha at Safety is a huge difference.

[King Friday]

Seattle is horrifying in their own stadium, where your offense can't hear a damn thing.

Seattle is much, much more beatable when they are on the road. The Eagles were DOMINATED today, but the Hawks only won by 10. If the Eagles actually get that INT with about 3 min left, which probably goes as a pick six, it is an even closer game.

Getting HFA over Seattle is a priority. To a lesser extent, that is also true of Detroit...because their place wouldn't be any fun in a playoff environment.

[smuggler]

I would feel comfortable against anyone but Seattle or Detroit.

[pbmax]

No one at home.

But each of you should continue to send letters, emails, Tweets and other bon mots to Rodgers to keep him angry and chippy.

[Maxie the Taxi]

Terrified? No. But the team I wouldn't want the Packers to play would be the Cowboys. Their OL is big and bad. DeMarco Murray is a gasher. Their D is getting better and better. And Romo is Favre-like enough to be dangerous. Plus, they're peaking.

I'd rather play Seattle.

They have no defense. It is Cover 2 Marinelli style, but I suspect the Packers would score 40.

I hope you're right. Maybe what I dislike about the matchup is the prospect of Aikman in the booth and the Cowboy fans' insufferable arrogance.

Yes, didn't the Eagles, who looked anemic as hell today, score 33 on the cowgirls' D on turkey day?

[George Cumby]

Terrified? No. But the team I wouldn't want the Packers to play would be the Cowboys. Their OL is big and bad. DeMarco Murray is a gasher. Their D is getting better and better. And Romo is Favre-like enough to be dangerous. Plus, they're peaking.

I'd rather play Seattle.

I'm not skeert of a Romo led offense. I'd take the Pokes over the Buzzards any day, home OR away.

I agree on Seattle... don't think we can beat them anywhere we play them.

Hoping someone else can knock them.

Athleticism, or lack thereof, isn't what has beaten us against read/option/running QB's - what has beaten us against those kinds of teams is lousy coaching, i.e. our players were not prepared, they were continually out of position and faked out of plays, they're always taking false steps and buying the fakes, they routinely abandon their own gap and responsibility, etc...

I agree that we've gotten better at playing against those schemes, but that isn't saying much - Seattle embarrassed us pretty good in week 1.

All of that is coaching.

If your players in are the right positions, and then still don't make the plays - then that is on the players, and perhaps "athleticism" might be a part of that; but that isn't what has been getting us beat against those types of teams. The sad fact is, that our players are rarely in positions to make plays b/c of lousy preperation and coaching.
