I'm wondering what the weather will be and how it will affect the game. Rain would slow down the run, which I would see as a plus for GB. Slow down Lynch, and that helps our D.

I don't think the running game for either team will be effected, but could bode well for The Packers air attack.

Receivers know where they are going, get a slippery field and creating separation is easier.

2012 opened against the 49ers and ended in the post season with the 49ers.
2013 opened against the 49ers and ended in the post season with the 49ers.
2014 opened against the Seahawks.

When the Packers have to out finesse a team (e.g. Patriots) they rise to challenge. When they have to out physical a team (e.g. 49ers, Seahawks) they tend to try too many cutsie plays that blow up in their face. I wouldn't say the opponents out coach Mike McCarthy, but it is no secret that McCarthy often is his own worst enemy and out coaches himself.

This was a great season and unfortunately all good things must come to an end.

Packers 13
Seahawks 24

Not to diminish what Seattle has done winning 9 out of their last 10 games but they have not played against a team in those 10 games with a QB ranked higher than 19th other than Eli (6) which really doesn't count because the Giants suck anyhow. Seattle was aided greatly by virtue of playing Arizona twice with their 3rd string QB and also the 49'rs twice who took a huge step backwards this year. Especially on offense where they were often horrible.

This in contrast to the Packers going 8-2 in their last 10 but playing against QB's ranked 2,5,9,10,13, and 14th.

In a QB driven league where passing the ball is king a defense can look awfully good playing teams that don't do it very well. No doubt Seattle is good but maybe their #1 ranking against the pass isn't that impressive considering who they faced. Looking at who the Packer have played their ranking may be just as impressive. The Packers are the most well rounded team the 'Hawks have faced in a long while and I have this feeling they are quietly confident of their chances Sunday.

Seattle certainly doesn't have the luxury of inviting the Packers to throw the ball and cheat up to stuff the run. They will have to play us straight up and hope Rodgers isn't in a zone. This is not something Seattle has had to deal with in a very long time. If the Oline has a good day this will be a Packer victory.

Then again ...

Below is a list of the top ten teams with the lowest defensive team passer ratings.
[list=1]
  • Cleveland Browns
  • Buffalo Bills
  • Cincinnati Bengals
  • San Francisco 49ers
  • Seattle Seahawks
  • Houston Texans
  • Green Bay Packers
  • Denver Broncos
  • Detroit Lions
  • [*]New England Patriots[/list]

    i don't think we stand a chance at winning this game.

    I hope they just look respectable.
