Official Packers vs. Seahawks Discussion and Prediction Thread, 2014 Playoffs Edition

[woodbuck27]

I know, I know, everybody is picking Seattle, seems the safe bet. They have a bigger edge on defense than we have on offense, they are TONS faster than us, better tacklers, Wilson should be MVP not Rodgers, and they all have nice bright white smiles, but FUCK ALL THAT!!!! We is gonna win Sunday, its as simple as that...

The battle between the head and the heart.

Your a boost to the karma push.

GO PACKERS ! GO PACK GO !

I actually think that Rodgers injury may be a plus. I like it when we have to run the quicker timing routes and rely on the run. With Rodgers healthy we run longer developing plays which can cause a lot of troubles against a team like Seattle.

I never thought of it this way and you may be on to something. I'm hoping Eddie and the big guys up front keep the seachickens away from #12.

Earl Thomas on Aaron Rodgers: "You don't really see a lot of quarterbacks of his skin color with soul like that. And I like it."

But first, a number....Well you've got it in your blood, boy. Just let it out! (6:33)

The more I analyze this game the less I like our chances. It might be a coin toss with a healthy Rodgers in Green Bay....but not in Seattle.
So we have an unhealthy Rodgers who could start out slow like he did at Dallas due to minimal practice against the type of smash mouth team with an effective running QB and we are on the DAM ROAD

This game was lost in December when we screwed the pooch in Buffalo.

Name the last playoff team GB has beaten on the road ? Happy Hunting ! This team is a completely different team on the road. Most of our road wins weren't pretty against junky teams.

Here are some predictions and if there is a whammy upstairs I HOPE IT WORKS AND PROVES ME WRONG ON EVERY ONE

Marshawn Lynch rushes for 100 yards and Russell Wilson rushes for over 40 yards and leads Settle to a 3rd down coversion percentage between 60 and 75%
Slocum's unit causes us to cry for his head once and maybe even twice and once again MM retains him after the season
Rodgers is up and down due to consistent pressure on him
Eddie Lacy does have a nice game and rushes for over 80 yards but it's not enough for us to hang around and cause any fear in the 4th quarter
Clutch Wilson once again shows us why he's the best value in the NFL this year

Seattle Wins 26-16

Take Seattle and the spread. You'll be pissed at Green Bay but at least you'll win some money. Take it to the bank.

Save this post; I'll be celebrating with booze if everybody mocks me for being wrong !!!!!

You and I must be different people. The more I think about the game, the more I like our chances. I still admit we will probably lose, but I suppose in most games, I am worried of the loss and desperate for the team to escape it. In this one, hey, we're supposed to lose, so I'm happy for the chance to sneak out a win, and I hope they make the best of it.

I think the bolded is the part you're most likely to be wrong about. Seattle's not really pressure monsters. Bennett leads the team with 7 sacks, Irvin had 6.5, Avril only has 5. Jordan Hill was actually 3rd on the team with 5.5 but he's out for the year now. Against Carolina his 1-tech snaps in their pass rush package were taken by a November waiver claim bum. Their opponents actually out-sacked them this season despite having an escape artist QB and more than their share of coverage sacks.

I'm confident that our OL will take care of business on that front. Sadly I agree with all the rest.

Year of the whammy.

Sorry, but this isn't going to be a good weekend in WI. 33-13 bad guys. I just got word that my daughters first college game is on Super Sunday, so I suppose GB will probably win, so I will have a decision to make! Yep---I was wrong 27-24 good guys and I will miss the Super Bowl!!!!

What American college would scheduled ANYTHING on Superbowl Sunday?

[Tony Oday]

I put $200 on Seattle. Easiest money I will ever make. Love the Pack but we have no chance. It was a good run and at least we are better than the Bears and the Vikes!

Ban this troll!

Guess Tony knows more than the majority of bettors. What I've seen has most the money going on Green Bay with the points.

On Sunday Jan. 20, 2008 The underdog New York Giants entered Lambeau Field and with nothing to lose defeated the foreseen superior Green Bay Packers.

The Green Bay Packers are capable of a similar upset this Sunday in Seattle.

It's like Chuck Pagano said:

" See a little see a lot. See a lot and see nothing."

The Seattle Seahawks have their sights set on a second consecutive Super Bowl Championship. They're seeing a lot.

The Green Bay Packers see one game at a time.



GO PACK GO !
