Seattle Seahawks @ Green Bay Packers Game Thread (3 Viewers)

[yak651]

So here’s the thing: Seattle’s defense blew up A-A-Ron.

SF’s D is 10x better than Seattle’s D right now. That front 4 is healthy. Packers in for a long day. 

glad to see Seattle our. Go Niners. 

Not the defense that worries me about GB, it's Kittle, he'll probably have 200 yards...

 

[Mr.Pack]

Welcome to Lambeau Field.

Except it wasn't helmet to helmet.

Feel kinda stupid now do ya? Bears fans....   

 

[-fish-]

This Seahawk team overachieved this season.   Getting this far with the amount of injuries they had was an accomplishment.  Other than losing a bunch because I had them +4, pretty satisfied with this season.

 

[The General]

GB will have to be way better in SF. 

To me, on the first view, live I thought he was short of the first. But it was close and once they called first, and watching the replays I thought it would stand because none of the views showed enough to change it. 

As much props as Wilson gets these days, still not enough. That guy is amazing, I was exhausted just watching others trying to tackle him. 

I guess the one shot of the Graham catch where he looked short had the yellow line in the wrong spot. First down. Hawks couldn’t get off the field.

SF pass rush is just nasty, way better than Seattle. Rodgers moves so well but I don’t see them having enough. Maybe Jimmy G screws the pooch? 

Ill take any of these teams in the SB. Gotta think KC wins it all but probably just because they looked so good today.

Russ is a super stud, Carson/Penny injury just killed them. Need a good draft this year big time.

agreed 100%. The overhead view shows his progress, but you have no idea where the ball is In relation to the line to gain, or where he or the ball hits the ground 

one view shows his shoulder hitting apparently past the line. Another view you couldn’t really tell. 
 

it was the right call. and if it was called the other way on the field & reviewed, it also would have been the right call. 

As much props as Wilson gets these days, still not enough. That guy is amazing, I was exhausted just watching others trying to tackle him. 

He had his ups & downs tonight but it’s clear this entire Seahawks team is the walking wounded. Gutsy loss. No such thing as a moral victory, but Seattle played their butts off.

They don’t lose Carson/Penny I like their chances. Need to hit on some OL/DL picks in the draft. 

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

That would be lovely. GB has not bee good against TEs. 

take every catch & yard Hollister had, and multiply them by 17.425

that's Kittle’s line.

So many injuries. 

 

[Mr.Pack]

They need to take Yellow Weasel out of the playbook. 

Should have tried the Green Weasel

 

[Mr.Pack]

San Fran -5.5 if it's GB.  San Fran -4.5 if it's Sea.  IMO.

KC only -7.5 over Tenn.  Telling.  

Both games are 7.5

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Both games are 7.5

That’s a tough #

 

[The Frankman]

Pete Carroll seems cold in this postgame presser.

 

[Ditkaless Wonders]

Wow generous spot.  This is going to be tight.

Packer fan here.  I thought he was six inches short.

 

[Mr.Pack]

but he was pretty clearly short there.

X

 

[Mr.Pack]

Never fails with the Packers.  Crazy to think they haven't won more championships with the refs and one of the best qbs of all time on their side. 

How's your offseason going GB?

 

[miapug]

Packer fan her.  I thought he was six inches short.

I was watching with my wife.  That's what she said.

 

[Mr.Pack]

Yep, refs were on their side the entire season 

Fixed

 

[Ditkaless Wonders]

Yep, refs were on their side the entire game

Like with the clearly screwed up call on the fumble that they got wrong and cost G.B. a Time Out?  Like the Offensive Pass Interference call?

 

[CletiusMaximus]

Happens every week: a ref from 7 yards BEHIND the line to gain runs in with a bad angle and marks the ball a yard ahead or a yard short of where EVERYONE watching on TV knows it should be.  WHY don't they have a referee station ON the line to gain?  You are a $1B industry NFL, you can afford an extra referee!

Lol - people watching from their couch know the spot better than a ref standing on the field. 

 

[The General]

One of the replays with the yellow line he was clearly short but apparently that line was off in that one.

 

[Ditkaless Wonders]

If the line @ S.F. is 7.5 I would take S.F. and I am a Packer fan.  

Maybe Jones does what he does and has a great game after a mediocre one this week.

 

[Ditkaless Wonders]

Still, I'll hold out hope next week.  

 

[The General]

You got Rodgers you got a good chance.

They shut down Dalvin Cook so hard to expect a ton out of AJones. Any given Sunday though.

Stone cold lock of the year. SF 66- GB 3

Lock and load

I ain’t lettin you talk me into a jinx, so I will have to decline to agree with your reverse jinx attempt here.

SF 31, GB 23

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

GB gonna take it

That statement could be interpreted as a positive or a negative and now I’m too confused to properly retort.

 

I’m hoping for an entertaining game. 
 

...That Green Bay loses. 

 

[Chaz McNulty]

The yellow yard marker had to be off.  From the angle from the right side of the field his helmet hits the ground at the yard marker.  The ball is at his chest in all the other reviews.  The only thing I can thing was that they didn't trust the yard marker.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

lol that's the intent

 I'm right no matter what!

*i’m

my mother is also hoping for a Niners win, but I don’t think she posts here. 
 

mom?

yellow line was off

 

[Chaz McNulty]

Who had a worse game, Russell Wilson or Lamar Jackson 

Did you watch both games?  It wasn't close.  One QB played well and one didn't (outside of fantasy football).

 

[Dinkle Heimer]

Malik Turner...you are dead to me

That drop pretty much blew it.

 

[Chaz McNulty]

yellow line was off

Tough to say.  The official yard marker is on the other side of the field.  Not sure which is correct.  

 

[KingPrawn]

Maybe so. Maybe neither is correct. But those arguing he didn't get the 1st down are basing it on the yellow line shown

 

[Alex P Keaton]

Russell Wilson is so dangerous and tough to beat.  Hats off to him; once they stopped handing the ball to fat man Lynch, that offense was cookin’.

Congrats to the true Seahawks fans and team on a good season and a very tough battle the 2nd half today.

To Pete Carroll on the other hand, nothing I have to say about him is appropriate for this board.  Love to see that guy lose.

I was so worried he was going to injure an O-Linemen with the amount of times he runs into their backs.

I would love to see him penalized for all of the times he comes well on to the field.  I hate that.

 

[Ditkaless Wonders]

Love to see the Packers defend Lambeau.  

I keep in mind how short-handed Seattle was.

Hope the Packers did not have any injuries which will hamper them next week.

 

[Ditkaless Wonders]

Did they ever follow up on the ten second shot during the two minute warning T.O. of the trainer looking at Alexander's right wrist?

 

[Ditkaless Wonders]

the who in the what now?

Jaire Alexander.  They had a sideline shot on a trainer examining his right wrist, ulnar side.  The shot was during the stoppage during the two minute warning or there abouts.

106 QBR

vs

63 QBR

hmmmm

A joke

 

[Alex P Keaton]

Seattle lost because, yet again, they had a terrible offensive gameplan.  That offense, without Carson/Penny, does well when Russell “magic water cured my concussion” Wilson is running around like Fran Tarkenton and making plays.  The entire offense played poorly in the first half.....then they let Wilson take over, down 21-3.

My questions for Mike Pettine:  why do we ever play a zone?   At what point this season has the zone worked?  Is there a single game you can point to where it was successful?

 

[Jayrok]

Russell Wilson could play for the Bengals and I wouldn't bet against them winning two playoff games.  Guy is phenomenal.

If I had asked you in August if you would accept the Packers in the NFCCG what would you have said?

While I agree somewhat with your overall point, just have fun with it man. The Packers are 1 game away from the Super Bowl.
