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 you calling anyone out for vanishing after a team loses. You've made a career out of that here.

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.

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.

Ugh. I guess I regret typing that now. I was trying to be funny, but I realize now we aren't going to lighten up and this was in poor taste. Sorry GB fans...

Has this clown who already got inked with back-to-back Lombardi's been linked yet?

New Tattoo by Hawks fan LOL if they lose either Sunday or in the Superbowl.

 

[Sabertooth]

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.

I'll say it, Green Bay with a gimpy Aaron Rodgers is going to win.

 

[fantasycurse42]

These two teams are terrible... I'm confident Ohio State could beat either of these teams.

The Packers had to get help from the NFL to pull it off against the best NFC team last week and the fraudulent Seahawks will get spanked by a healthy Patriots squad in 2.5 weeks.

That is all.

Look, everyone is making this out to be some kind of David vs. Goliath situation which it isn't. No more the Fail Mary game was.

Good luck in the Super Bowl to some of you Seattle fans.

 

[The Kerminator]

Let's face it. The Packers don't stand a chance against the defending Super Bowl champs. Everybody knows it. The Seahawks know it. The Packers know it. Vegas knows it. The NFL knows it. The only reason they are playing the game is for the television revenue. I mean, why else would they be playing it? The Seahawks are far superior to any NFL team. Not only this year but to any NFL team to ever play the game. What amazes me though is that the Seahwak's fans somehow manage to stay so humble.

winner winner, chicken dinner

KP should be called KingTroll Very sweet

Not trolling. I'm serious. I'm not sure how the Packers are going to handle this. Jason Wilde tweeted that the Packer players don't even want to get on the plane. Not sure how Ted Thompson or McCarthy are going to convince them to board. Thinking of flying down to Kiln to convince Favre to come back for one game. Pretty sure he can add to some of his records. May have to appeal to the NFL to put some of the players on the NFL exempt list so they can go out and sign some local players from the Blizzards.

[Bruce Leroy]

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 does mean something. The Hawks would be 11-5 had they lost & Green Bay 13-3. The Hawks would be coming to Lambeau instead.

Mucho bravado coming from almost every 'Hawk fan. I find that interesting.

Probably time to shut it down. This thread has turned into the packer fan equivalents of its taking his bait.

Aaron Rodgers and Russell Wilson have the two highest passer ratings in the post season in the history of the NFL. Aaron Rodgers is not in first place.

Kind of surprised me too. Rodgers (7-4) has a 105.3 and Wilson (5-1) has 109.6. Solid numbers for both.

edited to add a point of reference:

Tom Brady: 88.0

Peyton Manning: 88.5

 

[Bruce Leroy]

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

We'll all be here, some of us with a Golden Glow. Know why? Because we have 13 World Championships & we're working hard for #14.

To be the best, you gotta beat the best. I wouldn't want it any other way

 

[CapnJB]

At least Russell Wilson isn't the me-first glory hound that Aaron Rogers shows himself to be by insisting on inserting himself into the captain's photo before each game.

And RW doesn't have some stupid belt dance either. Just the most recent ring.

Meh. I'm a huge Seahawks fan and Aaron Rodgers doesn't bother me that way. He's earned it IMO.

If the worst thing my QB does is a belt dance that came from days being 2nd string and goofing off in camp, and photobombing pictures...I feel pretty good about the guy.

Its not like he is out there wearing uggs or something (at least I hope not).

[JFT Ben]

and Proninja: there's a lot of fans in Wisco too who really like Russel Wilson, the ex-Badger. I'd go so far to say that if the Packers weren't playing the Seahawks this week, or any given week, many would be rooting for them as a team against SF, Dallas, NE, or any of those teams that GB has a history with. I know I was pro-Seahawks the last two Superbowls, and will this time if they make it vs. NE.

Yes...I like Russell Wilson...was nothing but class in Wisconsin and handles himself well.

Heck of a player.

I like quite a few of Seattle's players or respect them. Earl Thomas and Kam for sure.

Carroll...nope, never liked him when he was with NE, USC, and not now...just something about him has always annoyed me.

All these nitpicky little stats really don't mean anything. It's really more for you to pump yourself up than it is for anyone else because it really doesn't amount to a hill of beans.

Alex Smith has a postseason QBR pushing 110 too. So what? QBR favors game managers. If you get a gaudy QBR without being ultra-conservative, then you're saying something.

Wilson has been the steward of a mediocre offense every year. No shame in that. But let's not pretend he's carrying his teams to glory.

If Rodgers wins his second ring this year, he'll have carried his team to its second title during his reign. If Wilson wins his second, he'll have ridden his team there for the second time.

Wilson has been the steward of a mediocre offense every year.

Seahawks had the #9 offense in the league this year.

Not at all surprising. They have a strong running game, a very resourceful Q.B. who is cool under pressure and can hurt teams with his legs or his arm outside the pocket (he is everything folks thought RGIII was going to be, and more), and their magnificent defense gives them the ball often, and in good field position.

These Seahawks in many ways remind me of the 60's Packers. What's not to like? (In many ways they are their own thing.)
