Joey Gladstone 33 Posted January 8, 2008 Another key to the game: the play of DT Rocky Bernard. If he's 100%, he's as good a run-stopper as anyone out there. Think Grady Jackson minus about 75 pounds but just as hard to move. If he can help clog up the middle, Grant's one-cut-and-go style might not work as well as it normally does. Our most underrated guy the past 5 years. He can create some pass rush up the middle too when his legs are fresh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sho Nuff 720 Posted January 9, 2008 Our most underrated guy the past 5 years. He can create some pass rush up the middle too when his legs are fresh. I agree about that guy...especially with the uncertainty of the Packer guards for this game. On the other side...Pickett and Corey Williams could be big factors for GB as well.

It's an old tradition at FFToday started by Walter34 for Packer/Bear games.... Didn't work out that well for him; but that's what made it so funny ...much like this thread Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Didn't work out that well for him; but that's what made it so funny ...much like this thread Gotcha. No worries, donhaas. If this game was in Seattle or Seattle had a legit Tight End, I might think the Seahawks had a chance. I'm also not sold on Hass having the kind of game to compensate for the SH's lack-luster road record. They just seem to be a less talented version of the Packers. I will, of course, come back to this thread on Saturday and eat crow if I am wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Gladstone 33 Posted January 9, 2008 I have no idea why we've never done anything at TE during Holmgren's tenure. I'm glad we lost out on Graham, while better then what we have he's only a slightly better pass catcher then Heller. Pollard is past his prime. We made a run at Shannon Sharpe his last year, but he decided to go back to Denver. We wasted a first round pick to reach on Stevens and then waited around for one half decent year and a big choke job in the playoffs. Something needs to be done about this in the offseason.

We wasted a first round pick to reach on Stevens and then waited around for one half decent year and a big choke job in the playoffs. Something needs to be done about this in the offseason. Yes Pollard is old, but he's had a much better season than I would have figured him to have. But at 35, how many more years like that are still in the tank? Prolly zero. The Stevens choice was pre-Ruskell and if memory serves, he had "character" issues in college (maybe someone else can confirm or refute that), so I doubt that he's the kind of guy the Hawks would choose today. I am hoping they use a 1st day pick on a pass-catching TE so that we don't have to rely on Pollard next season. My preference for the draft is that 1st day picks go for (1) a starting LG, or possibly a new LT to ultimately replace Jones (2) a new TE, and (3) a new safety, since Grant and Russell are both veteran FA pickups, and while playing well this season, we could use some new blood there. I know a lot of people want a new RB but it seems like you can get good talent in the later rounds on RBs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

listen2me 23 1,952 Posted January 13, 2008 Wasn't on all game...because I was watching the game... Hi Seattle Fans Great effort today. The Packers gave you all but 3 of your points.....2 TDs off fumbles and one FG via roughing the kicker. Couldn't stop Favre, couldn't stop Grant. I didn't hear Kerney's name once. Julian Peterson who?.... You guys were wrong. Packers fans were right. That is all. No biggie. Everyone is wrong sometimes. PS: PhillyBear.......Seattle isn't in the same class as Dallas and GB.

cheeseboy 0 Posted January 13, 2008 You are absolutely right. I am now convinced the Packers will win and win big. I was foolish to think anything else. Yes, yes you were I will say congrats to Seattle...they have become a class organization, and like the Packers are poised to be good for a long time regardless of personnel changes...and I know it's hard for the long-struggling fans to contain themselves, but the smack talk this week was as hilarious as it was over-optimistic.

I was at the Packers' 1995 Divisional win in SF, when we went up 21-0 in the first quarter and coasted to the victory...in the first half I was getting a lot of crap from the 9'rs faithful about it being a long game...and as we all left the 'stick all I heard was "I hate the loss...but I hate the Cowboys more, don't let them win next week". I must have heard that 20 times after the game, and if Seattle had won I'd be saying the same thing...
