I liked it/I didn't like it (Seattle Edition)

It took a lot to keep the fans from coming to Lambeau:

Jason Wilde retweeted

Carroll gave a great explanation of Aaron Rodgers' greatness on his first TD pass

 

 

Alex Van Pelt said after the game that in practice, if there's a defensive offside or other infraction, Rodgers insists on continuing the play out, running a scramble drill always ending in a shot play of some type.

 

Practice makes perfect, even improvisatory practice. Chasing perfection, catching excellence.

We are witnessing history and greatness.  We are incredibly fortunate as Packers fans.

That quote from Carroll... epiphany for Pete when he realizes he has a QB who can run the read-option, but he needs a QB who can scramble with a great hose.

 

 

 

Pete talking in great detail about Aaron beating the safety he paid great deals of money for while Kam sits at home. He's such a dumbass. 

 

If Aaron had two good wheels last January we'd be talking about Lombardi number 6 right now. ****!!!!

 

It was those ****ing Glazers. Everything they touch sporting-wise turns to ****.

Practice doesnt make perfect. Perfect practice makes perfect. 

 

Thanks Vince. 

 

But that pass...

Love: Ragnar going for broke on his contact. 

New game... read all quotes about AR's greatness as Christopher Walken. Add coma's as necessary.

 

We are, witnessing, history, and greatness.  We, are incredibly fortunate, as Packers fans.

This might need it's own thread. Let the implosion begin!

Couldn't happen to a more Carroll team.

Honestly, I'd be pissed if I were him too.  Fans should be pissed as well.  What kind of team trades their pro bowl center on a terrible o-line PLUS a first round pick for a pass catching TE they don't plan on using in the pass game?  It's just ridiculous, made even worse b/c the receivers on that team are terrible.  Graham should be getting 10 targets a game, minimum.  

 

And it's one thing for Graham to pick the Seahawks and have it turn out bad, it's another when Graham had no choice in the matter.  If the Seahawks miss the playoffs and Graham has a bad year, he may refuse to play next year until they release him.  

Something tells me Fox will single Jimmy with Jared Allen and Jimmy will go off for 180 and 3 TDs and this dischord will go away like that. 

 

Somehow Fox will eff this up. Seriously. He lost 43-8 to Seattle in 2014 with a good team. 

 

Go away John Fox!  

I see the Seahawks' problems continuing for a bit. Wilson seemed to be all over the media over the spring/summer, including a story in SI on how they got rid of the SB boondoggle -- all because of Wilson. It came off as "Wilson the Team Savior." To say nothing of how he is "the chosen one." So much of what Wilson has said and done has to come off as BS and egotistic -- even for that team.

 

Do I see the Bears winning? Unfortunately, no. But I think it will be closer than expected.

That's a lot of drama for one team just two weeks into the season.

I don't do this often, but I'm definitely rooting for the Bears this week.

It's (almost) easy to root for the Bears when a) they have a snowball's chance in Hades, b) they pose no threat at this point in time to GB, c) the backup QB plays, and d) they are playing Petey's dysfunctional band of egos.

Ya, at this point in really not about the Bears so much as it is yearning for the opportunity to watch the Seahawks implode around Russell and Pete.

I hope Pete chokes on that big bowl of dicks he can eat. It's not so much fun when the call doesn't go your way, is it Pete? 

If there are 2 people on Earth I want to beat soundly, it's Carroll and Sherman. And they both took it up the wazoo Sunday night. What a great week to be a Packers fan!

 rancid-ass defense

 

 

Graham needs to get open more. He's used to Brees throwing him open so he never really had to do much on his own, but Wilson isn't that type of QB. Wilson follows the system and the plays to a T and while  QBs like Brees and Rodgers' brand of improv is throwing difficult passes in tight spaces, Wilson's brand of improv is scramble and either run or his the wide open received. If Graham isn't wide open or even a little open then he's not getting the ball, that's his fault. He's the most physically gifted TE in the league and he can't scramble around and get open? Bull.

Just like with Harvin, Seattls got the bright idea that they would acquire an uber talented player to change the offense and it turns out that player is a wiener. This feels like they did a deal with no thought to how Graham would fit or how they would use him, they just knew he was shiny and they liked him...and they traded away a pro bowl center and a first round pick.

Well, he's obviously been talking to Olivia about Aaron.  Because we've all been told that Ciara obviously knows nothing about Russell's hose.

Two for flinching?

 

Here's what Kam Chancellor texted Stephen A. Smith: "Ima go help my teammates that are understanding of my position and the ones who aren't. God forgives all, why can't i? Time to help us get back to the big dance . I can address business after the season. Me and Marshawn started a mission 2 years ago. I can't let my Dawg down....Real talk."

brilliant holdout strategy, great job.

Meaning he'll hold out next year. 

Sink the team then return as the savior.

It seems that all these extended hold outs in in injury.

missing that pay check.

In time to miss two of the three toughest games on the schedule (at Arizona being the other)  and face Jimmy Pickles and Da Bears (Still Suck).

i am glad we won the game, but you know the excuse-o-matic will be "well we didn't have kam, now watch what happens"  and they are going to absolutely destroy the bears, then all the circus starts up again, super...

I was shocked to see how average that secondary was without Chancellor on Sunday (last week too).  If there front 7 wasn't so good, the Packers hang up 35 - and that's with just 1 great receiver.  So I understand why Chancellor is pissed: Sherman and Thomas get all the credit for being the best CB and S in the NFL while Chancellor was just a piece of that unit.  Now you see that it's probably Chancellor who is the best player in that secondary and Thomas/Sherman are only as good as Chancellor lets them be.  Problem is that's not how they're being paid and it's pissing Chancellor off.  

 

This team is hanging on this year but I don't see how this works going forward.  They might have the worst depth of any team in the league and it's only getting worse.  Bennett and Chancellor will hold out again next year, while another bevy of free agents will want to get paid (Okung, Rubin, Mebane, Irvin, plus their whole WR corp).  Plus you have to deal with Lynch and his $11.5m cap hit next year (will he be worth that at age 30?).  Not even Lynch can run behind that mess of an o-line.  

 

EDIT: Thought I'd add that they're paying Cary Williams $6m per year to be their second CB......lot of money in that secondary for their hopes to hinge on just one player.  

should we start a pool on what day Kam pulls his hamstring?

it's the holdout way after all.

Earl Thomas is a great safety. Sherman is overrated.

Kam is good, but he's no Leroy Butler

That's easy. Pez. Cherry-flavored Pez. No question about it.

 

That's easy. Missin' the money. He's not forgiving nobody. That locker room has to be real interesting...

Ima go help my teammates that are understanding of my position and the ones who aren't. God forgives all, why can't i?

 

Is this a veiled shot at Russ Wilson? Weird statement. 

Obviously, God is a fan of $$$.

 

Can I get an "AMEN!"?

Why does a fourteen year old girl need an 'amen"?

Confirmation class, like, duh!

Hmmm.
