It starts now.
GB can't run against Seattle DL. Seattle can't protect WR outside. Seattle has a horribe OL.
Bennett can't be defended if Seattle safeties takes away deep boundaries.
Josh Jones is going to be a beast blitzing out of the middle.

Burn 'me like we did last time.
I hate those fukkers more than CAPackfan hates the Cowboys.
I would pee in Pete Carroll's Starbucks coffee if given the opportunity.
Making trip out for the game with wife & daughters, can't wait! Game will come down to turnovers & which team can make big plays in passing game.
The Seahawks were one of those teams in the league that I never had anything in particular against. I thought it was cool that their fans largely brought the wave to the NFL, they seemed rabid and fairly informed.
I could even respect some of their history going back to the Steve Largent/Jim Zorn era and into the early 80's, Chuck Knox was a good, long-tenured coach, and they had some pretty good teams.
But then. it's like the swirl started during or right after Holmgren's time there, the flush was completed during Mora's years, and now it's the floaters that are left with Carroll.
Almost like the Cowboys. 'Cept I've always hated the Cowboys with a passion that burns red hot. Now I have plenty of hate to go around the league....
Just hope Phat Eddie has one of the worst games of his career.
I don't see them being successful running the ball with their present o-line vs. our d-line. Their best running option may be Wilson running for his life out of the pocket.
I hope the ST are up for defending fake FGs. 
Favorite part of last time we beat them at Lambeau: shot of their famous D on the sideline yelling at each other after Rodgers carved them up for another TD. Part anger at themselves and each other, part stunned that any NFL team could make them look so bad.
Russell Wilson last 3 games vs GB: 655 yds 4 tds 10 ints Avg QB rating 59.3
Last year, our defense largely throttled Wilson for most of the game. Although he had that leg/ankle injury, being better on defense should produce the same results this year.
Their game plan can't be anything we haven't seen before and I don't think they're significantly better on offense at any position, with the possible exception of RB. I expect Lacy to run hard, but he can be contained.
Bring extra China food, hurl it into the backfield to distract him.
While it's possible Lacy could get more carries, he is essentially 2nd fiddle to Thomas Rawls, and some say Lacy is perhaps even their 3rd back on the depth chart. So it's really Rawls that GB will be looking to stop. For now, Lacy appears to be more of the Hag's James Starks type of role, at best.
PTSD.
Kill them.
Say what you will about Dom and his inability to figure out Kapernick, he's got Russell figured out real good.
Talked to my brother yesterday, he and his wife will be there and expect to come home hoarse as hell. 12th man my butt....
In 5 games against GB Russell Wilson is 3-2 but his numbers are worse on average than other teams. Last year in particular he was horrible but he also couldn't run or scramble well and that's a big part of his game.
I expect him to play better than the 2016 game but in the end if he throws for 400 and the Packers win I could care less. Bottom line they need to beat those guys if they want HFA. Plus you don't want to want to go to ATL on the negative side of the WL column
I admit I'm a fan of Russ after meeting him a few times in school and seeing his career progress.
I do think his arm and legs are the biggest chances they have to win. Lacy and Rawls shouldn't have much success. Wilson can extend plays if we can't wrap him up and make plays downfield. Maybe a corner, but I don't think Dom will blitz much Sunday.
No idea what our offensive game plan will be. You have to think getting Ty going has to be a priority, either getting it to him in space, draws, wide pitches etc.
Depending on how the OL holds up, and how Seattle plays us will dictate how often we have to go to the dink and dunk approach.
I feel good about this one as I think as long as we limit fumbles we'll outscore em

Why hope?
it is as simple as our D making that happen.
i want our D to have a great game.
if that means Lacey has a poor game, then so be it.
let the best win.
and, I hope our D wins. Not only against Lacey, but against Wilson as well.
make no mistake, this is still a very good Seahawks team. Atlanta is also very good.
the Packers will be fortunate to exit these two games at 1-1. Possibly Super Bowl good if they get through at 2-0. These are the best two teams in the NFCC other than GB.
dal, might make a little noise, but the cream is Atl, Sea and GB.
how we stand after week two will probably go a long way towards home field advantage. If, if GB makes the playoffs. Nothing is a given......

Headed to my first Lambeau game this weekend and will represent Bako, Ya! (Seen plenty at County Stadium, and other venues--just not at GB as yet!)
Hope we come out of the tunnel smoking hot!!

If I could, I would put LSD in his gum. And watch his play calling mirror the end of his last super bowl.

I couldn't.
The key IMO is the SEA defense vs GBP offense. I expect the Packers D to be able to control/handle/manage the Seahawks offense. Need Rodgers et al to score 30+.
Might as well put this here. SI's Andy Benoit with some observations about the Packers.

I would pee in his car heater box whilst he was getting his coffee that you peed in!
And I'd poor coffee into his urinal while he peed.
just to create a sort of symmetry

Why?
--Uh, for touting, like Petey, the BS that the Fail Mary play was anything other than an incorrect call by an attention-whore incompetent official.
--For playing the worst game of his life in that championship game and somehow winning.
Cheap coffee is best for urinals.
From the Benoit/SI link above... ?
It will be interesting to see Ty Montgomery in Year Two at running back. He’s shown flashes of keen vision and, while not Le’Veon Bell, he runs with patience. We know he’s valuable as a movable chess piece, but the Packers are hoping he can be a sustaining ballcarrier in the two-back ground game that Mike McCarthy often uses heavily to stabilize the offense.
Huh?
From the SI article: You might have noticed during draft coverage, that when the Packers picked defensive backs Kevin King and Josh Jones in the second round, a beaming Dom Capers appeared in the war room to shake GM Ted Thompson’s hand. That’s because Capers, the team’s nine-year defensive coordinator, can run his actual system when he has cover artists he trusts. That system is comprised of inside linebacker blitzes and, as we saw at times last season, cornerback edge blitzes. Disguised coverage rotations are common behind both tactics.
The Wizard has his tools.

Correct. Oh, Dom...
Remember Quinton Dial is meeting with Packers today. Dom's toolbox might not be completely full yet...
The 49ers on Saturday released Quinton Dial, a two-year starter along the defensive line but someone who was not a good fit in their new scheme. The team also placed Chris Jones, who had been the team’s second-string defensive tackle throughout the offseason and preseason, on injured reserve, ending his season.
Dial started 26 games over the last two seasons. Unlike nearly every other starter on the team, he played in Thursday’s finale and didn’t even get to start. That honor went to rookie nose tackle D.J. Jones and defensive tackle Chris Jones. Dial had played both positions in the offseason.
The move means it’s likely that D.J. Jones, a sixth-round pick out of Ole Miss, will make the squad as the backup nose tackle. With Chris Jones gone, the team still may be searching for a backup defensive tackle.
Dial was a fifth-round selection in the 2015 draft. His best position is as a defensive end in a 3-4 scheme, the style of defense the 49ers used in his first four years in the league. San Francisco switched to a 4-3 scheme in the offseason, one that uses a nose tackle.

Check out the picture of the reporter. He looks like he's 12.
Tidbits from MM presser today:
Both Ahmad Brooks and Chris Odom will practice today. "Full-time preparation," coach Mike McCarthy said of integrating them into the Packers. "That's what's gone on since both guys have arrived."
"Ty Montgomery is our starting running back," Mike McCarthy said. "His development is over. It's time to go win games. ... He's a big part of what we do and how we play."
Packers already had two training camp practices dedicated to Seattle and Week 1 and a "bonus practice" today in advance of Sunday's opener against the Seahawks. "I thought we got a lot out of those two practices," Mike McCarthy said.
Mike McCarthy on the WR cuts: "It's tough. We lost some good young guys and we were fortunate to get a couple back, too."
McCarthy said Winston Moss will be spending a lot of time with Ahmad Brooks and Chris Odom this week to get them ready. #Packers

McCarthy on Ahmad Brooks: "He's been here all weekend getting acclimated. I think he'll be an excellent contributor to our defense."

This needs to be saved for game threads.
dam / dom, what's the difference
Haven't read them yet, but might as well put these here.
Best parts as always are the 'fans' comments at the end of the article. A lot of x4 DNA in there, seemingly...
Hilarious. A quote:
Two years ago the Packers played a road playoff game without their top four wide receivers after Randall Cobb got hurt in the first quarter of the game. Aaron Rodgers miraculously willed this team to overtime with not one but two last ditch hail-marys to a 5th string WR. The defense then gave up the winning score in OT in about 38 seconds and Rodgers never saw the field again.
The events of this one game epitomize the entire Aaron Rodgers Era.
"Capers has a lower approval rating among Packer fans than Trump at a Black Lives Matter rally held in Mexico"
