How Will The Packers Do In The Postseason?

What is the word on Nick Fairley? Saving him for the playoffs?

Injured, and I think already declared out for Dallas game

I didn't see the Dallas win in Seattle, but the box score seems to indicate that Dallas took what Seattle gave them. A lot of short passes not only to WR's but to RB's and Witten. I would bet Romo threw a lot of screen passes. Witten and Escobar caught the only TD passes for 3 yds and 2 yds respectively. Of course, they also got 115 yds of rushing from Murray and another 52 from Randle.

GB should be able to follow this pattern equally well. ...IF Stubby can resist his downfield shots every four passes, which he's been resisting a little lately.

Dallas @ Seattle 2014 Season Highlights ... SCORE: Dallas 30 - Seattle 23

Here's how it went as far as the biggest plays.

I think we make it to the NFC Championship game and then get bounced by Seattle.

It's just not a good matchup for us in any way. Dunderdummy is always dunderdummy, and Stubby is a very predictable playcaller. If the game were in Lambeau I'd say we had a 50/50 shot, but in Seattle I give us about a 20% chance of winning.

The Buffalo game screwed the pooch.

Agree on your assessment of our chance in Seattle

But I'd challenge you to look at last year's stats and then this year what Dom had done with better players and give him some credit for this year.

Giving you a chance for a Mea Culpa Wisty......just say it once. Domgenius !

REGARDLESS I don't think we'll be blaming Dom for the Seattle loss; we'll be giving kudos to the Seattle Defense which is now pretty healthy..unlike earlier in the season.

Dallas won't beat them either right now

[mraynrand]

I vote that neither Wist nor Bretsky get to give the pre-game speech if GB plays Seattle.

NO - will never, ever speak such blasphemy!!!

I do acknowledge that he has been much, much better this year - with a few brainfarts mixed in along the way; and some pathetic run defense early in the year. Yes, dunderdummy has been better this year - but, as you all know, he can never, ever be trusted - EVER!!!!

I'm awesome at pregame speeches - I really do want to kill people - literally!!! Rip their throats out, gouge their eyes out, bite their fingers off!!! No holds barred!!!

If that isn't inspirational, I don't know what is... I'll have 'em fired up right and proper mate

I voted in line with Wist and Bretsky. It's looking like a bitch of a path to the superbowl for us. Assuming Dallas takes out the suddenly imploding Lions, we'll have the perfect 8-0 road warrior Cowboys coming to Lambeau. Then more than likely Seattle where we'll have a punchers chance but shit. I'll be honest I haven't felt it all year. I've been waiting for a decent road performance that never came. This may be the best offense in the NFL but they are inconsistent IMO. While I'm more or less pleased with the defense this season Its hard to stay optimistic about them. They're usually good for pitching a stinker when the rest of the country is watching.

[King Friday]

Dallas doesn't scare me all that much. I still remember how PITIFUL their defense was last year. You don't fix that tire fire entirely in one year. The Cowboys have given up the 26th most passing yards this season. Rodgers is going to eat that defense for lunch...Green Bay is easily the strongest offense they have faced all year.

Considering the issues Dallas has had winning in Jerry World this year and their lack of postseason success in general for 2 decades...I wouldn't pencil them in at Lambeau just yet. Detroit and Dallas are just fortunate that one of them has to win.

[gbgary]

i think if we get dal it'll be pretty much an even match. last one with the ball wins.

[denverYooper]

Dallas and Seattle are both overrated right now.

Bedard has the Packers as most likely top seed to be one and done because "Dallas has a ball control offense that can give the Packers fits".

Greggy has 1/2 the equation... Dallas doesn't have the complimentary smothering defense.

Personally, I think he's trolling his old readership.

[hoosier]

Nobody scares me. If the Packers play up to their ability they can beat any of those teams. If not, fuggit, they didn't deserve to win.

Let me translate your bravado: "If the Packers play well in Seattle they likely will win."

No, the Packers have looked generic on the road all year. Seattle looks even better than last year at home. Packers will have to play well just to have a puncher's chance.

Agree 100% with that... it will be a very tough row to hoe in Seattle.

Like I said, our best chance for advancing to the SB was lost in Buffalo. If we lost in Buffalo when we knew how important a game it was - that doesn't bode well for our chances in Seattle.
