It's not really ridiculous at all. Certain teams matchup better with the Seahawks than others. The Panthers have given us fits for the last 3 seasons because they're a very physical team with an imposing front 7.
The Packers are not that type of team. Take it as a slight if you wish, but the more finesse pass happy teams typically don't fare nearly as well as the physical, smashmouth teams do. That's why the 49ers were so imposing until they self destructed this year, the Panthers, the Rams, even the Cowboys with their offensive line.
You guys also caught the Panthers at a different time than Seattle just did.
I will say writing the Packers off as some garbage team is also woefully off.. but teams like the Seahawks are not the ideal matchup for you guys
The way you justified it before was ridiculous by acting like hardly beating a good Dallas team makes the Packers not good.
Also, The Packers just ran the pall down the throat of the best run defense in the league. Then just defeated one of the smashmouth teams you just listed. The Packers are not as finesse as you think.
Cam Newton is a turnover machine with an offense that is okay. The Packers and Panthers are not nearly the same level of team, regardless of matchups vs. Seattle.
119 total rush yards is "running the ball down the throat" of another team?
ffs... get a grip kid. dont call people out for exaggerating one thing and do the other yourself.
you were an unfortunate rule away from needing a 2 minute scoring drive to win, at home, with two weeks rest.
Dallas is not the best run defense in the league. Detroit was, who gave up 70 a game and the Packers got about 150. I figured saying best run defense in the league would be a big enough indicator that I was talking about Detroit, considering they were the only best run defense in the league.
Also, as I've said to another poster. Dallas is a good team, something Seahawks fans definitely should know. It's not like beating them in a close game is awful by any means.
you said "just", so you can see some confusion. 152 yards of total rushing is good against that D... "running it down a team's throat" though?
you seem to be hanging on the hyperbole of posts as some sort of indication of a lack of class or respect of knowledge.
people are trying to have some fun as well as talk. its exciting, for both teams.
the game will hinge on whether Green bay can run. if they can, Green bay will score. If they score, Seattle will have to match. I believe the Seahawks superior run offense, balanced passing attack and #1 D is enough to win a game at home.
and Dallas sucks. not because they arent good, but because they are Dallas. surely you understand noone is going to acknowledge that. I would imagine 125% of this board was rooting for the Packers on Sunday just because the Cowboys were a bad matchup for the Seahawks
enjoy it, throw a little back.
