NFC Championship GB@Seattle (2 Viewers)

[Leroy Hoard]

lol at "the Russell Wilson era"

Just wait until the Luke Willson era begins.

 

[Burl]

OK, I'm convinced. Rodgers and Green Bay should just sit with the crowd and watch Seattle go up and down the field unopposed. Most senseless game in NFL history, they should move the line to Seattle -80. And they will still cover.

Seattle 96

Green Bay 0

Ridiculous, even the Seahawks can't shut out the Pack

Gonna have the revise it to Seattle 96 Green bay 2

Green Bay gets a safety at the end of the game because Wilson runs out the back of the end zone to help run the clock out.

 

[Tanner9919]

hey , the Giants were 7 pt underdogs in the SB v. Buffalo, no one game them a chance to win - especially Dan Fouts who said it'll be a 2-TD win for Buffalo.still laughing at Dan Fouts to this day..

Giants were 13.5 dogs to NE in XLII - beat them outright.

NE was +14 vs. Rams in SB XXXvI - won outright.OK, ok, they cheated, but...

point is,just because a team is a huge underdog both on paper with matchups and Xs and Os, plus vegas lines, doesn't mean they can't pull it off..

I think the Sea/GB game is going to be an epic Championship game, like Niners/Giants Jan - 1991 ( '90 season)

or some of the Dallas/SF games of the 90s.

I expect GB to play at a very high level,and overtime wouldn't surprise me..

last team with the ball wins this game..

I give GB a MUCH better chance to win then I do Colts @ NE..that game is over before it gets started..NE 31-Indy 10.

Interesting. The bolded part seems to contradict the "point" you were making earlier in your post.

No one denies that Seattle has a great defense, however, does anyone else think their stats may be a little inflated? Certainly this has minimal bearing on anything and is just pre-game noise, but Packers fans are looking for anything to give them hope and fill the time until the game start.

Here's the Murderer's Row of offenses Seattle played the last 6 weeks in the regular season (QB/leading RB for the game) - four quarterbacks that were backups at the start of the year (plus Kaepernick), one great RB (that they stuffed) in McCoy, and some average to below average RBs. They should have, and did, dominate this segment of the schedule. Credit to them for executing.

week 17: Shawn Hill (backup), Tre Mason (#20 in rushing, 4 tds on the year)
Week 16: Ryan Lindley (#3 Backup), Stephan Taylor (backup, 3.3 yd ave, 1 TD on the year)
Week 15: Kaepernick (very average passer, lower than Kyle Orton on rating, just above Teddy Bridgewater), Carlos Hyde (backup)
Week 14: Mark Sanchez (backup), Shady McCoy (one of the few real RBs they faced and they handled him, #3 rusher)
Week 13: Kaepernick, Frank Gore (#9 rusher, decent, 4 Tds on the year)
Week 12: Drew Stanton (backup), Andre Ellington (#26, 3.3 yd ave, 3 tds on the year

Green Bay's defense is nowhere near as good, and seem to always let teams hang around way too long. That's very troubling since I read Seattle outscored opponents something like 100 points in the second half (I think over the season, but it could be shorter than that) [and in the 4th quarter, in the last six games above they outscored the teams 45-0].

Listening to Packers beat writers and player interviews on the radio this week, they sound loose and that their experience earlier in the year will at least help them mentally with what to expect at the CLink. I don't expect they'll throw much at Sherman though - that guy is awesome. Will be interesting to see the Seattle injury report today - I saw their starting RT and DT did not practice yesterday, not sure if it's anything (listed as knee/shoulder I believe).

Agreed, we have played some weak QBs. The same is true with the "murderer's row" of defenses GB has experienced in their second half "surge" of running the football. I see two good defenses and the Packers lost to Buffalo. I think Lacy is screwed personally; he should be hoping Kam has an off-day otherwise Lacy could end the game with another concussion.

 

[ScottyDog]

Past performance is generally the best predictor of future behavior. Those of you who are saying that the first game is not meaningful, are just upset that GB got routed. I guarantee both teams watched film from the first game and got some form of game planning from it.

Lynch and Lacy are very similar RB's and as others have pointed out, they have similar stats. I have posted it before... I call Lacy "Baby Lynch." Seahawk fans need to be less sensitive in the comparison. At this stage Lynch is the better of the two. Lacy getting hurt in game one was a large blow.

GB could win, but won't. A hobbled Rodgers dooms them. Seattle 34 GB 20.

Watch film yes...but that past performance means exactly squat in the postseason as far as who will win. Not upset GB got routed in game one. If they come back and win this game...that game means what exactly? Nothing other than the Packers didn't get the NFC title game at home (though, that game means no more or less than the Buffalo, Saints, or Detroit losses in terms of record and home field for the playoffs).

Agreed on Lynch and Lacy...both very good powerful backs. One more on the end of his career...one just starting hoping he has a career that goes as long and as well as Lynch.

It means something that the Hawks won... Saying otherwise is being delusional.

It means that day the Hawks won...and yeah, it affected playoff seeding.

Do you think that win means anything about this game other than it being played in Seattle?

Not how the game progressed or was played...but simply the win or loss?

Talk about delusional.

Did NE beating NY in the regular season when they went undefeated matter when NY beat them in the SB?

Not really...and that was played much closer together.

These teams are both very different than week 1. There are thinkgs both will study as far as how they played situationally...but the outcome of that game means zero right now.

I keep hearing the Green Bay team is different than week 1. The fact of the matter is they had the #1 seed in their grasp but went into Buffalo and lost to a physical team with a back up QB. With so much on the line, they wilted. What about playing for the right to go to the Super Bowl against a team that is even more physical than Buffalo?

 

[Sabertooth]

It's a big point spread and I think too big. However it's one score. One bounce, one fumble.

 

[JFT Ben]

Yeah, that really stunk. Jordy dropped a probably TD that he's still kicking himself for. Certainly their lack of road success against winning teams (0-5 the last two years) is concerning. But they do enough good things to have a shot in these games, just shoot themselves in the foot often enough to lose.

 

[proninja]

I don't see how Seattle can have a chip on their shoulder when NO ONE is picking Green Bay. For crying out loud, most of the Green Bay fans are picking Seattle. If anyone has got a chip on their should, it is Green Bay for everyone doubting them.

New to following the Seahawks, I take it? Sherman and ADB remember how many times each team passed on them, and I'm pretty sure they eat snacks with a chip on their shoulder.

Yes...they lost to Buffalo...Lacy went 15 carries for 97 yards in that game averaging 6.5 per carry.

Now predicting injury because Kam hits hard...nice.

They are different than week 1...as has been properly laid out by several fans. Seattle is different also.

Sure...they lost to Buffalo on probably Rodgers worst day in quite a long time...even then, anyone who saw the game saw a beautiful pass to Nelson crazily go off his fingers that likely changes how that game goes. Those things happen for sure.

I just don't know if I would be out there predicting that Rodgers will again have his worst day.

Yes, there are probably at least a half dozen guys on the team that are characterized with playing with chips on their shoulders......Doug Baldwins' other nickname, "boulder on shoulder" is for a reason.

Aaron Rodgers hasn't done much against Seattle, you know. And he's hobbled. An average of what he does against Seattle while healthy probably isn't going to be good enough to win the game.

I think he has his best game against the Seahawks this weekend, personally.

Why the Packers Road Ends in Seattle... By Mike Heller The Big 920 AM Milwaukee

Posted Wednesday, January 14th 2015 @ 2pm
When the Green Bay Packers walked off the field an 8-point loser to Buffalo one month ago today, it was, in boxing parlance, a knockdown punch in regards to making it to Super Bowl 49. The Packers have fought back…winning every game since. The ringside judges (more boxing ) have the Seahawks ahead on all scorecards. The fight continues Sunday in Seattle, and all the smart money is on the reigning champions.

Green Bay’s Mike McCarthy and the Packers are travelling to Seattle Friday, a day earlier than normal—not a big deal. The BIG deal is, that the Packers have to go anywhere. When Green Bay lost on December 14th in Buffalo, they lost home field advantage in the playoffs. I said it then—“Losing at Buffalo will hurt a lot more on January 18th than it does on December 14th.” Seattle is the best team, and the best “home-team” in the league. The Packers are changing their travel plans for Seattle…too bad they are travelling at all.

It’s not all “doom and gloom.” Green Bay lost 36-16 in Seattle on September 4[SIZE=small]th[/SIZE], but both teams are dramatically different today. Percy Harvin was a difference maker then…now he’s gone. The Packers played their passing game to just 2/3’s of the field on opening night (Richard Sherman)…I can’t imagine they’ll do that again. Clay Matthews was a force on the outside then…now he’s moved inside and the Packers defense is better. Maybe the Packers are better equipped to prevent Russell Wilson from running and throwing his way to another Super Bowl. Or…not.

There is a “bottom line” thinking here that prevails. Seattle is better. Seattle is the best home team in football, the Packers best player is not healthy, and Green Bay has not given any reason to believe they can win a BIG GAME away from Lambeau Field.

The Road to SB49 goes through Seattle, where the Seahawks have lost just twice in the past 3-seasons. The Packers, meanwhile, haven’t beaten a playoff team away from Lambeau since October, 2012. I would have picked the Packers to win…if the game was in Green Bay. I might have given the Packers a “coin-toss” chance to win in Century Link Field if Aaron Rodgers was healthy—he’s not. There are no absolutes in the NFL, so the Packers CAN win Sunday… but … they won’t.

Sadly, Seattle is the end of the road for the Packers. You can blame Buffalo, and what happened there, one month ago today.

ADB = Doug Baldwin?

So the 42nd ranked, 66/825/3 receiver, which was the best of his 4 years in the league, is mad because teams passed on him?

I think the big difference for Rodgers is the Oline. They're much improved, not to mention last time Bulaga got injured and his replacement was embarrassed (he's no longer on the team). Add in Lacy had a concussion last time, his rookies have developed since that game, and they had an awful gameplan...Packer fans like myself are hopeful.

But realistically, I think Rodgers' bad calf cancels out any gains made since week 1.

25% chance to win sounds about right.

Meh, I still say Seattle crushes the Pack, easily 96-0 like someone else said.

 

[johnnyboy8102]

I think Lacy may be able to run a bit better than people think. J-Stewart had some decent runs before the game got out of hand last week.

Packers only have Aaron Rodgers, and he only has one good leg.

Game over.

Let's just call it a season and go golfing.

 

[sho nuff]

Packers don't play well against physical teams..... Hawks are as physical as they come

Detroit says hi.

 

[ImTheScientist]

I think Lacy may be able to run a bit better than people think. J-Stewart had some decent runs before the game got out of hand last week.

Stewart had the threat of Cam Newton running....and is much faster than Lacy.

[ImTheScientist]

Hi....

If they are your benchmark for physical you have a treat coming Sunday.

 

[Sabertooth]

Green Bay is so going to win this game. Can't wait.

 

[Longtucky Lemmings]

I just don't get these sweeping generalizations that the Packers, as a whole, don't play well against physical teams. I would argue that the o-line has held up just fine against physical teams...and was even holding up just fine against Seattle Week 1 prior to Bulaga's injury. I think we will see a "surprisingly" strong effort by the Packers' o-line and I bet Lacy has a better game than most expect.

Having said that, I do agree that the Packers' receivers do not typically do well against physical corners. Jordy is a real talent but I've seen physical corners knock him off his game. Cobb's game is predicated on quickness but he isn't the strongest so if a corner can get a good jam on him at the line he can be taken out of the quick passing game Green Bay thrives on. I do believe Seattle (assuming Maxwell is healthy) can effectively neutralize Nelson and Cobb.

The wildcards in the passing game for the Packers are going to be the rookies - Davante Adams and Richard Rodgers. Adams isn't particularly fast but it could be argued he is the most physical of the WRs. Combined with his strong hands he can win 1-on-1s against anyone not named Sherman. Rodgers, the TE, is big, physical and will catch anything that comes near his hands. He can be a real weapon in that 5-15 yard range Aaron Rodgers will need to succeed in on Sunday.

Again, I don't think Seattle's d-line has a huge advantage on the Packers' o-line and I expect a better running game this time around. What will define how competitive Green Bay plays and any chance they have of winning is if at least 2 of their 4 receiving threats can win their 1-on-1 battles. If they don't, they don't stand a chance.

 

[ImTheScientist]

Green Bay is so going to win this game. Can't wait.

I enjoy Sabertooth tears.

I see a lot of posts eluding to this like Lacy didn't play in the game or much of it. His injury had no bearing on the first game.

I also don't Seattle having Earl Thomas back to fumble any punts this time.

 

[Sabertooth]

This game is going to come down to handling Russell Wilson on third and longs. If they can do it reasonably well, the Packers will win this game. If they can't, they won't.

 

[Sabertooth]

You know something else? Seattle has played against exactly two elite running backs this season. Both surpassed 100 yards easily on them.

This ain't a broken down old Frank Gore or a lightweight like Andre Ellington coming to town this week. It's Eddie Lacy baby, and he's gonna feast.

23-133-2

 

[Burl]

If Green Bay wins this weekend, which I personally don't think they do, this thread is going to be EPIC. With all the Seattle chest thumpers in here today, that thread will be glorious. I hope Green Bay wins just so we can all see it.

Lacy has struggled every time he has played seattle. He is too slow through the hole and the hawks tackle well. If he had a history of success against them then maybe. I think he will see this once and have an "asthma attack" or "concussion".

At least one of the chest thumpers won't show up if GB wins. That you can count on.

Id guess most of the other Seattle fans will show up and be classy about it though.

If GB loses...I wouldn't bet on any of the Packer fans running away to hide.

Lacy has struggled every time he has played seattle. He is too slow through the hole and the hawks tackle well. If he had a history of success against them then maybe. I think he will see this once and have an "asthma attack" or "concussion".

Every single time...emphasis on "single".

If Green Bay wins this weekend, which I personally don't think they do, this thread is going to be EPIC. With all the Seattle chest thumpers in here today, that thread will be glorious. I hope Green Bay wins just so we can all see it.

and if Seattle wins? You will see the same thing you did week 1 when all the Packer fans vanished. Very few came back.

At least one of the chest thumpers won't show up if GB wins. That you can count on.

Id guess most of the other Seattle fans will show up and be classy about it though.

If GB loses...I wouldn't bet on any of the Packer fans running away to hide.

I find it funny you both type the same thing at the same time.

As a Packer fan myself. I hold no illusion about who I think will win this game. I give Green Bay maybe a 25-35% chance.

See that's just pulling a number out of your ### though. I give them a 50% chance to win. Based on both teams losing only 4 games this year.

You like being either just ignorant and wrong...or just a liar don't you?

Not saying its a great chance...the point is that actual GB fans will stick around...say congrats and so on.

The loudest of the Seahawk fans never sticks around after a loss. Even other fans of his team know this and talk down about the guy.

Nothing is 100% sure.

Conference championship 7+ point underdog wins:

The 1990 Giants (+8) upset the powerful 49ers.

The 1998 Falcons (+11) bested the dominant Vikings.

The 1999 Titans (+7) knocked off the Jaguars for the 3rd time that season.

The 2001 Patriots (+10) defeated the heavily favored Steelers.

The 2007 Giants (+7.5) went to overtime to defeat the Packers in Brett Favres final Green Bay start.

The 2012 Ravens (+8) pulled away to end New Englands bid to make back-to-back Super Bowls.

Not saying Green Bay with a gimpy Rodgers WILL pull an upset...just that it certainly can happen, and Rodgers is one guy I wouldn't bet against.

Aren't we all just pulling it out our ### though? None of us have any idea what is going to happen.
