Seattle believes they will win. Period end of story.  Their 12th Man BS believes the same.  They are coming to the Stadium for a Coronation of the Great 2013 Seahawks.  But...this is 2014.  Should Green Bay play solid Defense, limit big plays, get off the field on D and score 24 points they can win.  Turnovers, sacks and penalties must be even or in our favor. Tall order.

Final score GB 24 Seattle 20

Keep talking Irvin.  Get Sitton and Lang fired up a little.   But I will say Irvin knows who should have won last time.  

"It just takes four guys to contribute and hopefully, we can have us repeat the same performance we had in 2012 – without the Fail Mary, though. We're going to beat 'em straight up this time."

I think it will come down to who runs the football the best.   I think the Packer's Offense and Seahawks offense can score quickly via the pass (in the SeaHags case a running QB helps, too).  However, whoever gets a lead and can run the ball more effectively, will win. They will extend drive and move the chains shortening the game.

 

Lacy =  Big Game  = Packers 27-21

Lynch = Big Game = SeaHags 27-24  (we still win the bet) 

 

 

Interesting matchup, Rodgers is 2-1 against this Seahags, if not for the bozo call in the endzone, he would be 3-0.  No doubt, Seattle is a very good defense, both against run and pass.  I expect the no huddle to be effective with Rodgers releasing the ball quick, sprinkling in some Lacy.   If Lacy can wear down the defense, Rodgers should be able to score TDs.   If they start fast, I see Green Bay winning, 27-23

Two stats that have the highest correlation with the outcome of an individual NFL game are turnover differential & average yards gained per pass attempt. Win these two categories & you typically win the game.

This is what happened to the last guy that lipped off to Linsley , I think the kid can handle it. 

 

 

 

I tend to think Seahawks will win because of how good their defense is.  They really dropped the hammer on Denver in the SB.

 

But, they play the games on the field and I will be watching!

 

My hope is that the offensive line + Lacy matches up well with their Front 7.  I would LOVE to see the Pack jam the ball right down their throats and of course, if so, much of their success will also be due to the passing threat.

 

I think the key is line + Lacy neutralizing the Hawk D, not being suffocated by it.

IF Linsley holds his spot and at least neutralizes whomever they put over him, and IF we keep Wilson in the pocket, and IF our ILBs can play better than they have, we win. It's primarily on the defense, and this is a good test right off the bat.

 

MM should look to get the TEs involved, and get Lacy off to a good start. 

 

Call it 28-24 for us.

I don't think what SEA did to DEN in the SB relates to this game.  Peyton's long ball is long gone and Rog just made it illegal to defend receivers the way SEA did in that game.  If SEA wins, it will be by different means, which they are capable of.  GB has some advantage in springing some new D twists on Bevell.  Harvin could hold the key.

Hawks 27

Pack 17

This seems like the logical scenario but for some reason, I have a feeling the Pack wins this game. Green Bay is able to control the clock and the defense gets a couple TOs.

 

23-13 Pack

SEA was not flagged ONCE in the pre-season for these new points of emphasis penalties.

Seattle got smaller on the DL with Red Bryant leaving. They're going to miss him. He was 326 lbs of run stuffing that they just don't have any more. They didn't replace his size. They have gotten lighter overall as a DL group, averaging 285 lbs. Early in the game that may not be a big deal, but getting pounded by a 240 lb. RB for 3 quarters will wear down an undersized DL by the end of the game.

Could mean they have adapted and didn't pound WR's the way they did vs. DEN.

Brandon Mebane is still a pretty big mofo at NT and while new addition Kevin Williams is a shadow at this point, he can offer his veteran insight and a few snaps a game. Williams also has the experience of playing vs Sitton/Lang 2 x per year which may be of use

15 yards. Hands to the face.

I'm leaning toward those that say the circumstances make this much tougher of a game than it would otherwise be. The post SB homecoming game to raise the banner has only been lost twice by the home team, and both were underwhelming Giants teams. I'm picking SEA 24-17, but I don't think it will have any bearing on a potential rematch in January.

 

That said, it was interesting to read McGinn's breakdown of SEA. He mentions their RT and Nickel CB as two guys the Hawks haven't shown a ton of faith in and could be exploitable. With Cobb and Matthews/Peppers doing the exploiting, those matchups could help swing the game.

The Pomp & Circumstance is over once the hitting starts...

The sea****s are way over-confident because they beat Manning and every media outlet was trying to out-do one another in slobbering Peyton's knob

 

But there is a grand canyon of difference between a 38 year old surgically- repaired statue  at the end of the season and a fresh 30 year old mobile assassin with half a year to prepare

 

That difference will become glaringly apparent tomorrow evening
