Lost to the Bills because Jordy dropped a sure TD pass, and because Rodgers didn't see Jordy on another play running wide open on a broken coverage. An anomaly.Originally posted by Tony Oday View PostLost to the pathetic Bills who played two high safety all day and exposed this offense. Got crushed by the Sea chickens in their house, got embarrassed against the Saints and didn't beat a decent team on the road all season. It's Iverson except for the body bags.
Lost to the Seahawks at a time when the Packers just weren't very good. They were lucky to avoid an 0-3 start. The current Packers don't resemble the team that played in Seattle.
The loss to the Saints was the last game before making the switch with Matthews which transformed the defense. The Packer team that matters is 8-1 with a blowout win over the Eagles and wins over the Patriots, Lions and Cowboys. That's pretty good.I can't run no more
With that lawless crowd
While the killers in high places
Say their prayers out loud
But they've summoned, they've summoned up
A thundercloud

Its crazy. So many of the 'experts' think because Rodgers has a sore calf we somehow have morphed into the Jacksonville Jaguars or Oakland Raiders.Originally posted by denverYooper View PostThe Packers are really in a good spot. They've got the league's best offense, their best OL, the (hobbled) MVP, a good running game and a much improved defense. Their defense can play well without relying on turnovers. Special teams still sucks but it is what it has been -- a liability that often leaks field position. And yet, they're getting very little respect in the media. Tanier might have been the most positive about their chances in this game and picked them to lose by 2. This is the moment where M3 thrives.

Good post. Except - all those were at Lambeau... Change the venue and have a 100% ARod and I'd say we'd win. Flip it - we still have a shot (as any team does any week). But it'll be the biggest test Pack has had in years.Originally posted by denverYooper View PostFirst, the Packers had to prove themselves by beating the Eagles. They destroyed them.
Then, the Packers had to prove themselves by beating a Patriots team that many had as the best in the league. They won that game and never trailed from start to finish.
Then the Packers had to prove themselves against a physical Lions team that beat them up earlier in the year, with the Conference title on the line. They won that game even though Rodgers went out for 8 minutes and played hurt.
Then the Packers had to prove themselves against the sexy upset pick Cowboys with their big, bad OL and 3 MVP candidates behind that line. They won that game with a hobbled quarterback.
The Packers were 3-1 against teams that played in the divisional and 1-1 against teams that are playing this weekend. Unfortunately the 1 is the team that they play next.
This is another test, the toughest yet, but this Packers team has hit a lot of checkmarks they haven't been able to hit over the last few years. I think that we're going to see a team that puts up one hell of a fight on both sides of the ball and might just be able to pull the upset. It's just something the greats have to do sometimes. I'm not saying they're among the greats but they've got a great shot, starting this weekend.
Hoping for a good, clean and fun to watch game.The measure of who we are is what we do with what we have.

Who did Seattle beat?Originally posted by Tony Oday View PostLost to the pathetic Bills who played two high safety all day and exposed this offense.

They lost to the pathetic Rams, they lost to the Cowgirls at home, they lost to the Chargers and Chiefs
Where is Seattle's signature win? They beat the Broncos by 6 and beat the Eagles by 10.
Their best win of the year is against GB in the first week.
They just went through a bunch of teams playing with a 2nd or 2rd string QB and SF who imploded at the end of the year.But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

You got me on the common factor on that list. Repped.Originally posted by Fosco33 View PostGood post. Except - all those were at Lambeau... Change the venue and have a 100% ARod and I'd say we'd win.

Still, they've won a lot of games against quality opponents. They haven't been able to pull off that kind of record against quality teams in a while, even at home.
This is one more test. Can they do it on the road?When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro ~Hunter S.

Oakland gave 'em a scare. I think it was a one TD game into the 4th quarter....Originally posted by Pugger View PostIts crazy. So many of the 'experts' think because Rodgers has a sore calf we somehow have morphed into the Jacksonville Jaguars or Oakland Raiders.

Doesn't Bretsky's advice on sex for women mostly involve more sex with women?Originally posted by SkinBasket View PostIf she followed Bretsky's sex advice, she's probably got too many kids to go on the internet anymore. Or she's dead. Either way.Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

Datone Jones. Only Packer to get his mitts on Colin Kaepernick when he left the pocket in a hurry. If Seattle pulls Marshawn on passing downs for Turbin, Jones will get in (might also get in to for injured Boyd) and he is long and fast enough to help Peppers chase him down when Matthews flushes him.Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs.

There was an NFL Network panel of three and they gave GB the following odds to win on Sunday: 25%, 20%, and finally 10%Originally posted by Pugger View PostIts crazy. So many of the 'experts' think because Rodgers has a sore calf we somehow have morphed into the Jacksonville Jaguars or Oakland Raiders.
That's franky not true.
That would be 2014 Seattle : 2014 Green Bay :: 2014 Tampa Bay : 2014 Green Bay
which does not make any sense. I could see 25%, maybe, because Rodgers is hurt, but usually 35-40%

I agree... just hoping it's still a game at halftime, and we don't get too embarrassed.Originally posted by Tony Oday View PostLost to the pathetic Bills who played two high safety all day and exposed this offense.

I'll argue we always have a punchers chance with Rodgers, but we need a shit-ton of luck and breaks to beat the Seahawks. They are just a vastly superior team.wist

The Bills defensive line has Mario Williams, Marcell Dareus, and Kyle Williams. The Seahawks don't have any tackles as good as either Kyle Williams or (especially) Dareus, and don't have any linemen to the level of Mario or Dareus in general.
