1st half was a complete beat down by the Packers.

[MadtownPacker]

Damn, first win since 2008. That’s crazy it has been so long.

Fans bitch about the jet sweep, but it was the right call with Seattle selling out with run blitzes to stop Jacobs.

The end of the first half clock management was a little perplexing.

The end of the first half clock management was a little perplexing.

There's been a bit of a shifting end of half/game management due to the ability of teams to drive a few yards and try for long FGs

No saying they did it perfectly, but teams value leaving zero time on the clock more than in the past.

Thought the first half went great, second half not so much. Fortunately, Geno went out and we were never really pressed

MLF sums it up after scoring the 2nd half TD:

It was big time, because it felt way disjointed in the second half," LaFleur said of the final touchdown. "That's the reality of it. I thought there were some opportunities there we just didn't capitalize on. Some was a lack of execution and some of it was terrible play calls."

This I agree with, and I am one of the fans that bitch about this.

But in other weeks, the teams weren't run blitzing up the middle. 8 men in the box crashing forward over and over.

100% agree. Sometimes MLF calls that sweep too many times, and every team knows it's coming. Against an A gap blitz it's a good call though. Eventually the O gets an explosive play and the D stops blitzing. In the meantime the wear out those DTs and pick up 6 yard gains.

They were pretty efficient and stayed on schedule with their downs/drives in the 1H, in the 2nd half the SEA D focused on shutting down the run and MLF was too content to run into their teeth. Would have liked to see more screens and creativity. The QB spin and handoff to RB move didn't fool SEA this game.
I thought their D was fast and aggressive, but I also thought GB left a lot of points on the field.

End of 1H clock management was not good. It actually reminded me of end of CHI-DET Thanksgiving game.
Also the challenge in the 2nd half was dumb, MLF is terrible at challenges.

Yeah, it's not always the right call. I'd like to think he called it the other times after seeing something from the opposing defense and he lost the game of cat and mouse when the defense didn't do what he expected. I don't really know though.

I attended the Seattle game. There was at LEAST 30% cheddar in the stands. The rolling "Go Pack Go" chants were non-stop and louder than any I can remember. Even after the game as fans were walking down the zig-zag ramps to get out of the stadium, the vehemently raucous "Go Pack Go" chants continued well out into the streets of Seattle.

I lived in the Seattle area for over 20 years and have attended other Packers/Seahawks games but never anything like this. Overwhelming.

A-Aron even commented on how the Packer fans showed out in Seattle.

Do that many people make the trip from Wisconsin? Or do the Packers have a large fan base out there?

I would guess the latter. Seattle is a nice town, but probably not an alluring December destination for Wisconsinites.
