Official On To Seahawks Week

[Tony Oday]

The Vikings beating the Saints REALLY helped the Packers. If we can win this week we will go to the SB.

I get this, but are you still that afraid of this year's Saints after that performance at home?

I spend the second game wondering if we should be more concerned with the Chickens.

I think this Seattle team is not as good as the one that beat the Packers in 2015, neither offensively nor defensively. I think this Packer defense is better than that year's version, but the offense, I dunno. Rodgers played on one leg in that game, but he was good, really good. Lacy was good, too, but Aaron Jones is a better big threat.

I think the defense will be slightly hamstrung because Wilson is so mobile, but they have some speed on defense now. I think the defense will do its job - this will be on the offense to perform. The offensive line needs to block well, running and passing, and Rodgers, well, he needs to be better than he has been lately.

And the usual no turnovers on offense has to happen.

I think this game's on the offense. The Packers are a better team, IF Rodgers plays better than he has.

Holy Fackrell can catch Wilson.

Look, I'm a Packers and Rams fan. My dad's side is from Random Lake Wisconsin. I have James Lofton rookie autograph from Packers camp in 77/78? (My dad was a lousy father by the way).
But as was shown in the first round. The league enjoys screwing with you. The Packers are weak this year
They either lose this game or vs SF.

[texaspackerbacker]

As I said, the Saints were/are overrated. I wish I had the guts to predict they would lose in Pick'em (hindsight is 20/20) - I didn't have all that much faith in the Vikings either. I at least gave them the minimum confidence points. The Seahawks just barely got by the worst of the NFC playoff teams. We should dispatch them without too much difficulty.

As mid-week begins to approach that “Beast Mode” shit is starting to give me nightmares.

Don't jinx it!!!!!!

I hope I am not jinxing this game by saying that the Packers seem to be the better team and really ought to win this game. Seattle's defense ain't what it used to be, nor is the offense. Wilson is carrying that team.

As you all know, I'm normally pessimistic, so this is weird.

My big fear is that LeFleur won't have them ready, ala the SF game.

If you and Tony Oday give up the pessimism, not sure what catastrophe will strike.

The Packers have shown their top vulnerabilities: On offense it is the speed rush, on defense, it is defending the run. The Seahawks have the ability and inclination to speed rush like SF or San Diego. Their best strategy would be to come after Rodgers with wild abandon. On offense, a mobile Wilson always keeps them in the game and will be key, especially since they will struggle to run against even a weak Packer run defense. Seattle has the remarkable tendency to play to the level of their opponents and to almost always be in the game to the bitter end. The Packers inefficient and inconsistent offense will oblige, unless they unleash a heretofore unseen package for the playoffs (such as say 5 plays directed to Jace Sternberger in the middle of the field - this is unlikely considering Sternberger has a 100% drop rate). If the Packers aren't ready for the Seattle pass rush, they can easily drop this game as well.

[Freak Out]

Run the damn ball. Just keep giving it Jones and Williams and let Arod kill them when they least expect it.

[RashanGary]

Defense has been consistently dominant in the redzone. The Seahawks defense has been consistently below avererage.

This is a game we should win. The Packers offense needs to stick with what it does best because the Seahawks aren't good enough to stop them. If the Packers line up and trick themselves by trying to trick the opponent, we lose.

Always been my argument about cheering for a certain opponent. You want to play whoever lost, not whoever won. But you always have to play the team that played better last week.

This seems like a good spot for my quick analysis. So....I was cheering for a team! I'm glad we drew the seahawks. Our bane all season has been the TE position, and its a strength for Philly and a weakness for the Seahawks.

Also, our weakness is our own TE position, and no one neutralizes the TE better than Bobby Wagner (except Jimmy Graham). Basically the strength of their defense eliminates something we don't have anyway.

I expect a lot of running between the tackles sort of like the Dallas game to neutralize Wagner's pursuit ability. Right at the gut. Put a helmet on Wagner straight up. Play action deep passes. Could this be the game MVS catches a deep pass (instead of dropping them)?

My Biggest fear in losing this Game is Turnovers...After Watching the Badgers Shit the Bed like fat kids on 50 cent taco night I have a feeling it will come down to what team Capitalizes on the Turnover Battle. The ball will be Slick during the late game making this game a Coin Toss.
