It would really benefit us if Rodgers was a little bit more mobile, but if McCarthy can craft a better gameplan than he did in Week 1, I definitely think we can come out on top. Nobody is giving us a chance, and that's what I love so much about it. We have the goddamn MVP on our team.

We're a much different team than we were in Week 1. Yes, Rodgers is gimpy, but Seattle's offense lost a gear losing Percy Harvin. Yes, it was the right decision for Schneider and company to make, but Harvin was a key cog in the formula for beating us last time.

If we contain Lynch and play a relatively mistake free game we can get it.

He may have been easing off to make sure he could make it the entire game.

While I doubt they will ever come out and say it, I do believe Rodgers and the team were being cautious trying to limit any strain added to his calf protecting him for the next round. But as the game wound on, they realized if they don't open it up some they won't have a next round to protect him for. Its hard to say what might have happened. In the end, they did enough to end up with the win. And at this point that is all that matters.
