Definitely not impossible; but relatively improbable.
I've got to be honest, and you may(will) think I'm crazy. I think the Packers have a 50-50 shot in Seattle. I also think we have a better chance of beating them then the 49ers. Let the hate begin
!?!
uh......
...ok, your a loyal fan. Can't fault that.
Just a quick fact. The Packers are a QB 1st type team....IE, their entire team really centers on the QB,
Since 2011 when the 49ers face those "Prolific" passers they are 13-3...and two of those losses are to Eli Although its debatable if he's "prolific".
Since 2012 the Seahawks are 7-2.
...and BTW....they are a collective 5-0 vs Rodgers.
So, just out of curiousity...are you just saying that because you want to believe that (and their is no prob with that...we're all fans here) or to you have some reason to think that?
...and for the record Seattle fans, I didn't include SF-Seattle games because I didn't even want to start that conversation.
I think the Packers have a better chance beating the Seahawks for a few reasons. The Packers are now an offense that is different than say Denver. The Packers have a power run game now. Many people don’t realize this, but the Packers this year have arguably the best running back combinations in the NFL. Lacy, Starks, and Harris are all very good. You can’t beat the Seahawks with finesse. Denver proved that. I think the Packers can run on them, and this will open up the deep pass. You won’t see the Seahawks playing up like they did against the Broncos. Also, the new NFL rule on holding hurts the Seahawks greatly, as they do hold more than other teams
http://www.denverpost.com/renck/ci_2626 ... s-hit-from. The Seahawks D, I think, will be hurt by this. The Packers offense this year could be the best Rodgers has had because our run is very good now. The O line looks very good, and the Packers wide receivers are good. In fact, the Packers guard combination is one of the best in the NFL.
I also am not sold on Russell Wilson. The Seahawks run game is what supplies their offense. They lost Golden Tate, and their receivers aren’t great anyway. The Packers match up well with their pass. Tramon Williams,Sam Shiels, and Casey Hayward should be able to contain the Seahawks receivers. As for the running game I think the Packers proved they Can stop it somewhat. With Rodgers playing the Packers last year were one of the top run defenses in the league. When he left, they moved close to last. Call it the Rodgers effect. Look what happened when he came back. The 49ers running backs didn’t run well against the injury ridden Packers in the playoffs. So, I believe the Packers D will play better with Rodgers. The Packers have also made several improvements on their D line. Lynch could be a little rusty.
Another reason is because I am a Packers fan, and I can't bring myself to think "THE PACK" can lose to the Seahawks. Green Bay is looking for vindication. They are a collective 4-1 against Rodgers don’t get me on the warpath about the “Fail Mary”, and yes Seahawks fans it was a fail :th2thumbs: .
