Well the Packers are now in Seattle and the oddsmakers have the Pack as 7+ point underdogs. Over and over I hear how this game is gonna be a blowout by the Hawks. Aaron Rodgers is not going to be able to run unless something about his calf injury changes drastically in a day. And if you’ve ever had a calf injury…you know that is not the way it works.
Apparently, the Seahawks even have better shoes with Marshawn Lynch’s $1,100.00 gold cleats making 
headlines today. Well how can this poor, outclassed Green Bay Packers team deal with that? I got a few ideas…
Here’s how:
The Green Bay Packers are going to pound the rock with not just Eddie Lacy but also James Starks and our offensive line is playing better than the Cowboys offensive line right now (and the Cowboys slaughtered the Seahawks early in the season). With Bulaga in this game the protection will be more sure. By the end of the game, Eddie will be near that 100 yard mark and Marshawn will be heading to the locker room to hang up his gold cleats for the year and once again refuse to talk to reporters.
Aaron Rodgers is going to throw over pressure when Eddie doesn’t run through it and Lacy will also have a bunch of yards catching out of the backfield. Jordy Nelson will have one or two opportunities and will make big plays in this game, just watch. Nelson is great against corners playing outside leverage with a safety over the top. Sherman is not as good against the receiver on inside routes, his forte is to pick off the throw to the outside. Add Devante Adams and Randall Cobb and the Packers whole offense has a different look and a different swagger. Adams could well have a career game in this one as the Packers will be looking for matchups.
On defense…is it just me or can you tell that Julius Peppers wants this in the worst way. He never 
plays outside himself and he is not quite as disruptive as in his younger years but what a great addition he has been to this defense. Russell Wilson is the most hurried quarterback in the league, and also one of the best at extending plays, so the Packers defense will have to bottle him up and bring him down a couple times to be successful in this game.
All in all…these are the right two teams to be playing in the NFC Championship game. I see few giving the Packers any hope…but I disagree. We are gonna will this one home, it’s a team sport and this Packers team will not be denied!
So what do you think? Let me know on the Facebook fanpage or in the comments below.
Go Pack!
I think we will win this one too. No one is giving Green Bay a chance.
greenbay all the way, show these people what yall working with and the moooonnnneeeyyyy. haaalllaaaa. GREENBAY baby ALL the WAY
I’m taking Packers all the way! When they got beat early in the season I said, we are going all the way. As the saying goes “GO PACK GO”. R E L A X ….. lets get loud Packers!
I’m a Packer Fan they will win this Game GO PACK ALL the way
I think Lynch will pat more in fines than he paid for the shoes(they must be NFL licensed/approved) and The shoes don’t make the man.I think Sddie will have a big day and look for Cobb out of the backfield to also shine. GO PACK GO !!! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8U-Ddq9yz6w
pay more in fines that is lol
I think the Packers love being the under dog. They seem to play better, and with more confidence. GO PACK GO !!!!!!!
We lost to the Lions the first meeting. We made adjustments and conquered the second time.
Thank you! I loved your article. It’s what I have been saying all along. I, too, am so tired of no one giving the Packers a chance or saying that it will be a blow out. Of course, it will be a challenge and we have to play clean. But, Seattle is totally beatable and I feel good about this game. Go, Pack, Go!
I’m a believer! GO PACK GO!!!!!
cheese nation! Packers will beat them seacawks! GO PACK GO!!!!!!
The Packers owe the seahawks after Game 1 of this year and the fail mary of 2012. Go Pack Go!!!!!!!!!!
I am cautiously optimistic, I’m sure Coach McCarthy has devised a game plan to keep Aaron Rodgers safe as well as to give Green Bay the Best Chance to win. Aaron will hit players in the slots as well as hand off to Lacey and Starks. I believe our Defense Will play well enough to win this football Game… Green Bay 24 Seattle 21
I believe that the Packers will play the best game of the season. Go Pack Go
Adams was a green rookie that first game and Rodgers went out on the same play Bulaga went out. They are a lot different now. Also Guion was coming off a preseason injury and was just feeling his way along in that game. Brad Jones was a starter in the game. Enough said! Finally the Packer defense had to pay special attention to Harvin last game. I just wish Aaron was in better physical condition.
I believe that the Packers got what it takes to win in big games, Aaron Rodgers is going to be awesome despite the calf injury also Eddie Lacy, Jordy Nelson and Julius Peppers will step up big time cos defense wins big games
Rodgers is incredibly accurate. His planting leg is good so he just needs to adjust to his limited mobility. The Packers are a hungry team and they are peaking at the best time. Peppers and Matthews, along with the rest of the defense will be fired up. McCarthy is also peaking. If the Packers want to win the Superbowl, they have to beat any opponent.
Go Pack roast some seachickens!!! The PACK will rise up and win.
Football is a team sport but ultimately you need to beat the man in front of you. Every man on the Packers can beat every man on the Seahawks. Packers will win the game.
I’m always happy when the “experts” think the Pack does not have a chance. That is usually when we come out and blow them away and surprise everyone! Being the underdog gives the Pack the edge. Go Pack go!
Poor, outclassed packers team??! whoever you are that wrote this article You are an ignorant fuck! it’s tough to win on the road no matter who you’re playing! and by you saying the Packers are poor and outclassed just shows how stupid you are. stop making it sound like they can’t win they have enough talent on the team to beat anyone.. they can still make big time plays even with Rogers calf injury
I think you missed the sarcasm in the article. You might want to read it again. I won’t call you an ignorant fuck.
We are a totally different team then the team that lost the first game Our center Linsley has grown immensely. We can and will run the ball Adams will have a big game and using Cobb out of the backfield will cause match up problems. The Lombardi comes back home Go Pack Go
To win we must get at least one turnover against the Hawks and not turn the ball over once. If this happens we will win the game.
GREENBAY all the way. show these people what yall working with and the money. haaahaaa how u doing. luv yall PACKS
Believe in the team so a whole, not one or two players. GoPackGo!!! All the way! I’m a believer!!!
i believe…..the Packers will go all the way to the Super Bowl… GO PACK GO
Seattle has pushed the Packer’s around long enough…..time to pay back….go gettem BOYS
Some facts and my opinions;
The Hawks are near the bottom of the league in defending TEs and RBs in the passing game. Look for Quarless, Richard Rodgers, and Lacy/Starks to have a big game. Rodgers cannot take sacks and hits in this game. If he’s sharp and gets rid of the ball quickly, he can shred this D similar to how Rivers did in San Diego.
The key to beating Wilson and the read option is to keep him in the pocket. This is done by maintaining gap control and not being overly aggressive on the edges. In the read option, the QB reads the OLB and then makes a decision to run inside or outside. In week 1, Matthews constantly took himself out of plays by trying to beat the OT around the outside, which opened running lanes on the outside for Wilson and Harvin. If Matthews and Peppers maintain their gaps with bull rushes, they’ll stuff the read option and come up with big plays. Then there’s Lynch, who demands gang tackling. Capers know all of this, and hopefully learned from week 1. I’ve not been a Capers’ fan since 2011. This is a make or break game for Capers, in my opinion. We’ve got the talent on D, now we have to make plays.
I expect a nail biter. But if GB gets up by 2 scores early, it takes Seattle out of their ground and pound game, which could make this a lopsided GB win. 31-24 GB. Go Pack go!
I live in texas and as a CheeseHeads fan my family and i will be screaming at the top of our lungs.
GO PACK GO…. Cowboys didn’t stand a chance last week. I think it’s going to be an interesting game Packers All the way
SEAHAWWWWWK!
SEAHAWKS GONNA STOMP CHEESE BAY
SEAHAWKS SEAHAWKS SEAHAWKS!
It will be a good game and the Packers will show the world they are the best in the NFC today! Only thing the Hawks got going for them this game is noise and that does not win championships! Even with Aaron playing on one leg so to speak he is ten times the QB than Wilson is and will pick apart Seattle this game! Eddie/Starks will pound the ball throughout this game to take the wind out of the Seahawks sails. Pack wins 23-17
In hindsight, I believe I called this pretty well. The Packers took advantage of the Hawks weakness over the middle with TEs for much of the 1st half. But then, for whatever reason, they started forcing the ball into the Seahawks’ strength on the outside in the 2nd half – and our offense struggled big time. With 1:25 left in regulation, Rodgers again went over the middle for big plays to get the game tying FG. Had we stuck to what was working all along, we blow out the Seahawks.
Baffles me how Rodgers does this consistently in every game. One only needs to look at the targets and completions to TEs from 1st to 2nd halves of games to see the huge difference.
