    Packers showed toughness today. Seattle is overrated as they have dominated a string of backup QB's. They won't beat the Packers again.

        Wild card round is interesting. You have to give Dallas the edge over Detroit thanks to the Lions horrible record on the road against good teams...but if any team is capable of containing the Dallas run offense, it is Detroit. The Dallas defense isn't particularly stout either, so the Lions will have the chance to score some points. Carolina is going into the postseason very hot...and they are playing entirely on house money at this point...my bet would be that they dispatch Arizona.

        If the Lions can pull off the upset, I think we get an easier matchup in the divisional round...but so does Seattle. Neither Carolina or Arizona scare me. They are not much different than the Lions...relying on defense to keep their team in the game due to meager offenses. Against a team like Green Bay, who doesn't turn the ball over, those teams face long odds. Dallas is the only team with a chance to win at Lambeau IMO. You know that is the matchup FOX is drooling over at this point.

        Seattle will be tough to beat in their house. Their offense is weaker than last season...they really struggle to put points on the board at times. The Packers run game is key. If we can hurt Seattle on the ground like we did against Detroit, we stand a good chance of pulling the upset. Seattle doesn't have a dynamic receiver to torch us anymore. If you can contain Lynch, Seattle will be lucky to score more than 17.

        As long as Rodgers gets back close to 100% with the extra week off, I give Green Bay an almost 40% chance of getting to the Super Bowl. Seattle has a slightly better chance...let's say 4 in 9. I really don't see much of a chance for anyone else at this point...Dallas might have about a 1 in 6 chance, and anyone else is an extreme longshot.

        Right now...it is tough to say Green Bay will beat Seattle in their stadium. Green Bay has not been a strong road team and their special teams is a major liability at this point. If I was a betting man, I would put my money on Seattle.

          Can Carolina be expected to give the Seachicken a game in Seattle?
          Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

            I don't think that is a walk-over for the Seahawks. Carolina is probably the team that Seattle would most like to avoid, as their defense probably keeps them in the game into the 4th quarter.

              Detroit is 4-4 on the road, Dallas is actually 4-4 at home.

                We lost a great opportunity to head to the SB when we f'cked up in Buffalo
                Homerism aside, I don't see us being able to take the jabs Seattle gives us before they knock us out

                  Detroit's inability to get to Rodgers does not bode well for them at Dallas though. Dallas' OL may be playing even better than the Packers.

                    Seattle getting winner of Ariz/Carolina game so that's a walk over advance to NFC Championship game. Hawks have the clear advantage to represent NFC in Super Bowl for 2nd straight year.

                    Sad but true.

                      If the Packers make it to the Super Bowl, I don't see any reason they don't take out the AFC championship. They just need to get past Seattle (assuming both win in the divisional round).

                      The Packers ability to run on the Detroit defensive front is encouraging. As was their willingness to play a shorter passing game and let the WRs earn YAC. If the line stays healthy and Rodgers health holds, a game vs. Seattle is probably a 50/50 shot for the Packers.

                        I predict Packers wins a Divisional Round and loses the NFC Title Game to Seahawks. Seattle is not overhyped yet even the Seabirds are beatable but it's on their turf and they're the top team for a reason.

                          Yes, showing we can run on that defense was great. Before this game they were #1 against the run, #13 against the pass and #2 in total yards (the seachickens are #3, #1 and #1 respectively). I suspect had Rodgers been 100% that game isn't close. Thank god we have an extra week for him to heal.

                            Seattle is near unbeatable at home and there front four have shown to be able to pressure Rodgers w/o blitzing. Their LB's are very fast and at home they are stellar against the run.
                            Their secondary is still probably the best in the NFL.

                            To me they are clear favorites at home. I would have considered us slight favorites at home...but slight. They are built to beat us. They are way better than Buffalo. If you look at our wins on the road we have not excelled there.

                            I have not read logic besides our gut feeling as Packer fans that would sway me o believe we have anything better than a 25 percent chance

                              They have guys like Bobby Wagner at LB and we have Brad Jones and A.J. Hawk. Sam Barrington is a nice player, but still only 2nd year and Clay is obviously playing out of position because of Jones and Hawk's production. May we find a tackling/covering machine like a Bobby Wagner, and in the 2nd round so as not to overspend on an obvious pick. Seattle does a great job filling their roster and not overspending.
