NFC Championship GB@Seattle (2 Viewers)

[The General]

Weather update! Just flew over the stadium which was pretty cool, no rain, sun breaks actually. Pretty thick clouds all around. Was crazy bumpy and is pretty windy at airport which is about 20 miles south. Don't think weather should be too much of an issue unless the wind really gets crazy.

Correct. No rain right now but still getting a few gusts. Honestly, I hope it calms down and we get good weather.

All right everyone: enjoy the game! I'm off to the stadium to drink a few beers and get prepared to yell.

Jealous. Make some noise GB.

 

[Mr.Pack]

I don't think this game will be remotely close. If it were played at Lambeau, I think it could be a classic. But in that environment, with Rodgers hurt (and Lacy not 100%), it's going to be a bloodbath. The seahawks are a lock to demolish the Packers, and I really don't see any way Green Bay can even keep it close. I think the Packers lose by several touchdowns.

Agreed.

Lock.

Stone cold lead pipe lock that Seattle wins today.

Maybe once, or twice. I get that for a quick laugh. But over and over and over again? Do yourself a favor and go listen to a CD of your daughter. You'll smile and feel better. GL today.

I'm smiling and feeling good. Thank you.

The Seahawk fans want to throw disrespect and trash down, I'm all for it, just agreeing with them. I'm a lover not a fighter.

 

[Mr.Pack]

A Packer fan behind me on my flight has 50 yard seats 18 rows back. Super nice guy, just handed me a coin with a peace symbol on it that he made. He's handing them out to all Seattle fans. Trying to buy good karma! May have to leave it on the plane...

Did you tell him he's wasting his time by going today?That Seattle is a LOCK today?

You have a some type of inferiority complex going on. Seattle is the favorite to win but upsets happen all the time. Should be a great game.

None at all.

Just find the disrespect and trash in this thread to be laughable, so I'm agreeing with you guys.

Too bad we couldn't have talked football, but 90% of the talk in here was basically "Seattle will win easily, that the Packers have no chance"

So, I'm happy for you guys, good game.

The conditions don't favor the Packers at all. A wet slippery field and 20 mph winds. Sadly, the Seahawks and their lack of humility move on

Not sure why you think this. Lacy should thrive in this.

And QB's always say rainy conditions favor the passing game because the WR's know where they are going, but the DB's don't. Also, the DLine has a tough time getting a push in these conditions.

always better for the Oline in these conditions - Dline has to rush and are always moving their feet - if you can set and punch when they only have one foot on the ground, it's easy to move them off their rush (honestly, fun as hell to do it to them). Having said that, the field (from photo's) doesnt look slippery enough/wet enough to matter that much.

I guess. Feels like there's about 3 people in here that are even remotely talking #### to me and even they are adding some stats.

 

[smackdaddies]

Personally, I think it comes down to the Packers O line. They finished the season great. If they can keep the four man rush off of Rodgers and open holes we can win.

What the hell, I don't believe it, but Packers 27-17. Go Pack.

Open holes Lacy is the most important player on the field today.

Watching Fox. Damm, I am pumped up for this game.

 

[sho nuff]

Honest question here.

If I root for the defending super bowl champions, who are also the #1 seed, who absolutely took apart the team they're playing in the NFC Championship game earlier in the season, who are playing at home, and who are almost a unanimous favorite among the media, and a large favorite at Vegas, and I think it's likely that they win, does that make me an obnoxious homer?

No, not inherently...because you dont act like one.

It makes others jealous.

Why would any Packers fan be jealous of you?

Hey Packer fans. I get that you're all about trying to take the "disrespect" angle, the "no way they can win" angle, and the "who has Seattle beat" angle. I really understand it. I remember last year when everyone said it was a lock for the Broncos to win it all. It sucks.

If you do manage to pull it out, congrats. I'll come back by for some crow later tonight (I'm going to the game so I'll be offline shortly). I'm hoping for a great game and it was fun with the banter this week. Cheers.

It's not you we're really concerned about as you're not the one shooting your mouth off. You and most of the Hawks fans are respectable here.

I think we're all waiting for HE WHO SHALL NOT BE NAMED to show up if the Hawks lose.

ITS has you in the palm of his hand...for sure.

Those of us that think the Seahawks are likely to win for football reasons are unimpressed with your response, which is basically to refuse to actually talk about the game. Not your finest hour so far in here, GB.

We've been through some stuff. I'm still nervously waiting for the other shoe to drop.

I can relate to this. I started getting into professional sports just after the Sonics won their title in the late 70s. The Seahawks had their shot in the middle 80s, but that Curt Warner knee probably sank their chances. After that we went 21 years without a playoff win. That many consecutive years of failure has an impact on a young man passing through his formative years. I've grown up watching the other shoe drop year after year in Seattle.

Hell, until the win last year the greatest Seattle sports moment I can really relate to were both wins getting a team a shot to win to earn a shot to get to a title game (95 Mariners over NY and 83 Seahawks over Miami).

Truth hurts.

I have not refused to talk about the game.... at all. Only a handful of Sea. fans have, and I have interacted with a couple of those.

Good God, I would hope my finest hour would not be in this thread.

Have you read this thread?

Richard Sherman unhappy with Rodgers avoiding him

Why would he try to throw at him, if the WR is covered?

That would be a Jay Cutler move, throw to the covered guy, not the open guy.

I just don't understand all the hub-bub over this. You execute the gameplan and throw to who is open. Making throwing at Sherman a priority is like saying winning the game is secondary.

You play to win the game.

But yes he does. His thoughts are like many Seattle fans. It's too bad really, cause they should win today easily so it will be 2 more weeks of that.
