GBFAVRE4 0 Posted January 6, 2008 Philly, you cannot be serious! I was in attendance the last time these 2 met in the playoffs at Lambeau, and I plan to be there Saturday. (I've been to many GB games, but that was definitely the coldest.....) I imagine the line opens at GB-6 This game shouldnt be that close. It will be electric, and the Hawks are not in the same category as GB. (Offense, Defense, SPT) We will break down each position as the game gets closer. I 'seriously' predict: GREEN BAY 31 Seattle 14 DUN, DUN, DUN...DUH DUH DUN DUN DUN GO PACK GO!!! (Packer fans know what I mean...) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

scrotch 0 Posted January 6, 2008 I think that Seattle's defense is every bit as good as Green Bay's. Seattle gives up about 8 more yards/game than the Pack, so not much difference. I think Green Bay has the advantage on offense, but on a good day I could definitely see Seattle keeping up with them. I think where Green Bay has the greatest advantage is the fact that Ryan Grant can run much better than Alexander/Morris. I expect a close game, but Grant should help the Packers keep drives alive and they should dominate time of posession, which more often than not will win you the game.

dogbert 0 Posted January 6, 2008 If they let Grant run the ball. They could get into that 5 receiver set and just throw. This is Brett's last chance of winning a superbowl so I predict the old gunslinger is going to come out. He'll throw one or two picks which will keep Seattle close. 31-17 Pack.

t.j 35 Posted January 7, 2008 B, I played football in Montana growing up. We were all used to cold weather, it didn't really bother us. But we would still practice indoors if there was ice on the field. It's just not productive to be running around half-speed due to the field conditions when that's not the condition the field is going to be in come game time.

Agreed...that one game does not make the team soft. Did you expect Favre to come out...with 30 mph sustained winds and gusts from 40-50 mph and say he is going to light Chicago up? Its a dumb attempt to criticize the team. Its a Seattle fan holding onto hope that bad weather will play into Seattle's hands. But they rely on the pass even more so than GB does at this point.

You should be more concerned about your Cowboys this week guy . You've got Romo vacationing with Jessica in Mexico during the bye week, your biggest threat on the field will not be 100% and he's busy trademarking "I love me some me" during his bye, and you're playing a team that's playing pretty well with a strong running game, an adequate passing game, and a vicious defensive line looking to eat Romo and Jessica's unborn love child. You better hope TO is healthy for this game. Dallas has been awful without him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Softer than the Seahawks? I think not. Is there a team considered softer than the Seahawks? Maybe it's the uniforms. Maybe it's the city their from. Maybe it's their franchise RB. Maybe it's their road record. I'm not sure. I don't think a Seahawk fan needs to be calling any other team soft. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
adam smitty 0 Posted January 7, 2008 I'm expecting this game to be close, at first I thought the Pack had a clear advantage, but Seattle has a very good pass rush and the linebackers that may be able to slow grant down. If the 5 receiver sets are working as they have most of the year, I think GB will still pull this off, but it should still be a hecka good game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll give you Alexander, and our away uniforms are a little gay. But I wouldn't ever classify Walter Jones, Matt Hasselbeck, Lofa Tatupu, Patrick Kerney or Rocky Bernard as "soft". in fairness I don't consider the Pack a "soft" team either. I'd much rather be playing Dallas this week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Timinator 0 Posted January 8, 2008 I like the Packers at about 31-17 depending on the weather. Gotta admit though that both these teams are a little "soft" for playing in Northern cities. The Packers earned this term in Chicago a couple weeks back. Hey, I love this team, but a little wind doesn't make the lousy Bears a better team. Luckily the Seahawks' offense is even softer than the Packers. Both defenses are solid. The difference in the game should that the Packers can run better than the Hawks. It's still weird having Holmgren come back for playoff games. I just read Bob Harlan's book yesterday. Holmgren loved coaching in Green Bay, but wanted to try his hand as GM. I bet after Wolf retired, he was kicking himself wondering how many more Super Bowls he and Favre could have gone to. Holmgren always got the best outta Brett by not backing down and McCarthy is the first coach since who was willing to do the same. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
texasclaw 0 Posted January 8, 2008 I will definitely be betting the line if its -9 or -8.5. The Seahawks should cover. I think this one will come down to a field goal. Both defenses can fly to the ball. Both rushing attacks should be nothing more than a checkdown at the line or occasional inside handoff to keep things interesting. Both Special Teams are capable of taking it to the house. The really interesting thing will be to see how one of the youngest teams in the NFL reacts to postseason pressure. I could see Grant putting the ball on the ground and Bigby getting burned on either a double move or play action. I have to give an edge to GB now as Woodson and Harris should be able to neutralize Hackett and Engram. However, Seattle might just go 4 wides + Morris and take to the air. If that's the case it will truly come down to Favre vs Hasselbeck and who has the mental toughness to avoid the big interceptions and keep putting points on the board. This will be my favorite game of the weekend without a doubt and should be a good one. Packers 24 Hawks 21 in OT Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jackson did look a bit better in the last game...yes it was Detroit...but I am talking more from his decision making and quicker making his cut rather than being hesitant as he had been in the past. I actually like Morris better than Alexander. 3 deep? So...what does it matter if your depth is better if Grant does not get hurt? As a group of 3, Seattle may be better. I think special teams is pretty close, but I would give Seattle the overall edge. Brown is a very good kicker...Mason, a rookie who has had some struggles. Punters are close. Burleson has done very good in punt returns...but the Packers return units have been very good, as have their punt coverage units. Grant got dinged a little but so far looks fine. And good news for GB was that Spitz practiced yesterday and barring a setback should be good to go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
