Seattle Week

Hell yeah

Really?  get your priorities straight, BD!

Girl..  I'm thinking DaVante.   I'm a Kraut and my wife is Czech.

I think I'll kind of enjoy the Seattle game much more than Boys game, I expected victory today.
I really do not expect victory even though I feel we have a good punchers chance.
Capers HAS to have solutions that do not involve BJones or Hawk in space or tackling at a gap.

congrats to you and your wife and may God bless you with a healthy girl. 

I think Rodgers, MM and that Packers game plan for next week similar to today.  I think they'll rely on the running game early in an effort to keep the game close.  They'll limit Rodgers movement in the pocket, and limit long-developing, deep passing plays.  Hopefully the D can keep Seattle out of the endzone.  Much like the second half today, if the Packers need to, Rodgers will go for broke and move in the pocket as much as he can/needs to. 

 

That's what I think they did today.  In the first half, he was much less mobile, I believe, by design.

Thanks SDPF.

 

I forgot how bad Sherrod sucked in week 1.  They are showing highlights on NFL network.

I'm optimistic about next week because:

 

1. Davante Adams was  who in week 1.

2. Clay playing in the middle will be huge.

3. Sam Barrington.

4. We have found our TE again.

5. Ha Ha is more assignment sure. 

6. Peppers seems more comfortable with his position and his role playing it. 

 

What you got? 

No Turnstile Sherrod.  

 

No Harvin. He killed GB in Week 1 with 41 rushing yards and led Seattle with 7 receptions for 59 yards

Congrats BrainDead! I have two young boys who are hardcore Packers fans... And stock owners. It's quite a journey!

I'm stuck here in the middle of Cowboyland...so this win was my Super Bowl.

Having said that, I can't say that I expect the Pack to beat the Seahawks in Seattle, but this isn't the same Packers team that we saw in week one. Packers rookies aren't rookies anymore. No Harvin. Clay in the middle. Hawk and Jones spending more time on the sidelines. I like our chances....even with a one legged Rodgers.

Eff the Cowboys!  Oh and by the way Dez...later this week...you won't hear the NFL say it was a catch.  Cuz it wasn't!

Go Packers!

I give the Pack a 15% chance to win. So I'm saying there's a chance....

It was a great game!

I give them better odds than that. Tough road, but doable.

If Rodgers were 100% I would really give the Packers an edge in this game and win it straight up.  His mobility is such a key aspect of their offense but I was  encouraged by a couple of things yesterday -

1) they committed to and ran the football well

2) MM came out with some different looks - from the pistol to Cobb in the backfield

This is a different team the last time they played the Seahawks.  Defensively they are playing better and the OL is blocking better.   I also think they won't be in awe of Seattle having played there.

Seattle is playing good ball but they weren't totally sharp against Carolina either.  My hope is the Packers can limit the big plays and keep it close and get a break or two.  If they do that I think they can win.  If they start slowly and or allow Seattle to take a sizable lead they won't win.  

Good situation to be in as a Packers fan.  Not expecting a win but much like the Patriots game I would not be shocked either if they found a way to win

The decision to abandon Sherman's side of the field in the first game was a mistake. I'm optimistic for no other reason than I anticipate MM doing a much better job of coaching this time around.

Not sure if this will have any effect or not but Dan Quinn, Seahags DC is supposed to be the front runner for Jets job. I would not be surprised if he takes Tom Cable with him as OC.  Are these guys looking at the future instead of planning for the present? 

I am cautiously optimistic. If AR's leg were better, I'd be far more secure. I think this time AR/MM have a third receiver whereas the first time Adams wasn't a factor like he is now. Lacy is running better. The wrinkles with Cobb out of the backfield are new, as is CMIII in the middle, and Peppers is more comfortable along with Guion. But -- if AR has no mobility to extend plays and find that one guy who's open, then we are in trouble.

i believe the run d must show up - which hasn't been a big factor to date - if we can stop 24 we have a chance to do this.  Next to that would be keeping 3 in check, but he is really slippery, he did his magic against car, and they are bonified in the lb dept, so we can win, but we can't beat ourselves, missed tackles and not knowing assignments, etc.

I'm hoping that these two, Davante Adams, and Richard Rodgers, don't screw up Randall Cobb's chances at a big pay day.  Love that the Pack has great receivers after Jordy and Randall, but I want Randall to stay and get an extension and cash to go along with it.  JMHO.  

Cobb and his pay day have nothing to worry about by the performance of the rooks (nor anyone else). That is crazy talk. First off, Packers need great targets and they have a plethora. They have players in every stage of their careers, development and salary which is perfect. He was HUGE yesterday and has been especially productive and clutch down the stretch. He is Rodgers go to guy when the Packers NEED a conversion and he almost always delivers. He is the factor that allows the offense to make in game adjustments to whatever the defense is trying to do by moving him around. His flexibility in lining up all over the field allows Rodgers to move him and take the defense out of their calls in before snap adjustments. He has hands like nobody on the team. He will get paid and I have a hard time believing that the Packers would not be the team paying him.

Hey, thanks CHEEZE, needed that.  

 

On to Seattle.

 

Watching the Panthers game the other night gives me real confidence.  They stuck with them,  no reason the Packers cannot.  Play relatively error free, clean football, keep the refs out of it and hold Wilson on 3rd down and the desert awaits.

Seattle safeties Earl Thomas and Kam Chancellor had 22 tackles, a pick, a forced fumbled and three passes defensed Saturday night. They dominated, particularly Chancellor.

 

The Packers will want to watch tape of Seattle’s Oct. 12 meeting with the Cowboys for a clue on how to limit the impact of the safeties. In a combined 150 defensive snaps three months ago, Thomas and Chancellor had a combined 12 tackles with no sacks, picks, forced fumbles or fumble recoveries.

I actually am more optimistic about this game than I was about the Dallas game.  The reason I think this way:

I just don't think Seattle has the same level of weapons on offense than the Cowboys do. 

This Packer OL is not even close to the same one that played in week 1.  Sherrod wont be playing RT and LInsley is way better now.

We are seeing more players such as Adams taking a step up

Lacy is running (for the most part) angry

Carolina for quite awhile hung tough against the Seahawks and they can do it why can't we?

 

I do worry though about Wilson's ability to extend plays and Lynch's running and of course how much Aaron will be able to move around.  As for playing in Seattle?  man that is a tough place to play but having played there before really will help the Packers.

 

 

 

Are saying that there are people here that have business being naked? lol

One way Seattle has impressed me is the way they play the second half. Most of their games are close at halftime. Then they seem to blow the doors off their opponents. They always seem to get a big turnover. I think their coaching is pretty good at finding the tells in an opponent's scheme.

Stating the obvious but the game has to be mistake free.  Rodgers coming out for the second half stating they were making boneheaded mistakes.  Can't pull that **** in playoff football.  A week off with Rodgers rehabbing showed.

 

Got the kinks worked out, stay in that 4th quarter mindset and execute.

 

Seahawks dissing Lacy in today's Sam Farmer column in LA Times: DE Michael Bennett: "Lacy? He had 12 carries for 34 yards. I could do that. It was just another offensive player."

 

Hope he shows Beast Mode who the Hulk is.

 

MM: more screen passes.

I don't think GB needs to change much on D for Seattle. I imagine Seattle will dust off the read option a handful of times. Seattle OL isn't Dallas though. Not close. Key to Lynch is getting bodies on him fast. 

 

GB is a different team than week 1. Adams, Linsley, and Peppers. Peppers might have been the best player on the field yesterday. 

 

Then again Seattle is a different team as well. No Percy but this new cracker TE Luke Wilson looks like an absolute matchup nightmare for GB. 6-5 255 guy that runs a 4.5 40. Whatever GB plan was for Gronk needs to be repeated. 

 

And can someone please run to CVS this week and get Lacy a rescue inhaler?!?!? Can't have any asthma episodes on Sunday.

 

This is do-able. But it's got to be played as clean as the NE game. 

Add in the "unnamed" Dallas pusscake who states Seattle will waltz because Dallas was the only team to match up.  

 

Win the game and you can talk.  The level of sulk is hilarious.

Lacy's asthma was triggered by the cold, and he did get treatment on the sideline.
