Divisional round: Seattle at Green Bay - payback time

[Mondio]

No need to relive 2014, but I wouldn’t say Rodgers played Horribly. It was one of the best defenses in the league in that decade and on the road coupled with a bum leg. He had a bad pass to Cobb in that game. I don’t remember anything else? That INT in the endzone was a free play, the refs missed.

anyway, we’ve faced better defenses and in particular d lines.

contain Wilson and limit the ad lib plays and it might not be much of a game actually.

bit they always seem to make some crazy plays. Of course we have to show up well or it won’t end well.

The Seahawks front 7 will be the strength of ht

Right, I was just saying it's fitting that he can get some redemption per say... On the contrary he had a TERRIFIC game against the Cowboys the week prior.

Anyways,

I think our team actually matches up well with the Seahawks this year as you can essentially make them a ONE dimensional Offense with Carson being on IR. Just provide safety help on Metcalf with Amos to avoid the deep completions. Let them throw it on every down.

The Seahawks strength on D is also their Front 7 and NOT their Secondary

 

[gbgary]

yup. that 2014 game ended with more errors in judgement than a slasher movie.

no legion of boom this time around. that dj metcalf is a handful...lynch still refuses to go down...and with wilson doing wilson things our D is going to be stretched to the limit. does our O have enough to make it a shootout? i don't think so...so they'll have to keep wilson off the field. our O is going to have to sustain drives, eat up the clock, and get points every possession...and not just for half the game. all game long! last time we had a week off we got killed. wth? Packers are 4 point favorites?!

 

[TexasCheesehead]

In all fairness, AR played HORRIBLY in the 2014 NFCCG.. it's put up or shut up time for AR and I hope he comes up big

We can make all the excuses about the onside kick being mishandled and Burnett falling after the INT, but AR played HORRIBLY...

Time to exercise some demons

With a torn calf muscle and at the time amazing cheater Seahawks defense AND on the road going into half up 16 because MM was playing safe on all calls...then Rodgers drove them back for the game tying field goal only to be let down by the defense? You think he played horribly? I’d have to respectfully disagree. I hate Seattle but they had a monster defensive unit that year, Rodgers played well for being hobbled and on the road in that liberal monsoon Seattle. I still fully blame Bostick.

I'm just being objective here. Aaron didn't have a good game. Not trying to be an a**, but he was just plain bad that game.

For the record, the week BEFORE against the Cowboys:
24/35 316, 3tds 125.4 Rating

Against the Seahawks the NEXT week:
19/34 178, 1td, 2interceptions 55.8 rating

Just being objective here and NOT a homer.

I think this will be a good time to exercise some "demons" for the team as the Seahawks secondary isn't that good this year

 

[PackAttack12]

Wilson’s career at Lambeau:

0-3 record
57.3% completions
3 TDs
6 INTs
201 passing yards/game

would love for this to continue.

To be fair, the Packers have had the Seahawks number since that game. I don’t think Aaron has to work through any “demons”.

We've played the Seahawks in the playoffs since that game???

I'd love for us to knock them out next week.

Did anyone mention the fake field goal thrown by the guy that was supposed to be punting for us?

no no brother I don’t mean to be either, I apologize if I came across as an a** either. I just wanted to state my opinion as well, I respect yours to the fullest I just happen to disagree. The Cowboys had a much weaker D and we were at home...Seattle had the #1 ranked defense in the NFL and only gave up 15 or 16 points a game. I just think Rodgers played very well and was hampered by injury and MM plays wanting to maintain the lead, he never tried to keep his foot on Seattle’s throats.

 

[OldSchool101]

I like the way the GB running game overwhelmed MN the other week. I think we can do that to any Defense remaining in the NFC except the 49ers.

btw, 5 of the top 10 scoring Defenses are now eliminated. The next best is the Ravens at #3
only the Vikings, 49ers and Packers remain in the NFC top scoring Defenses top 10 at #6, #8, #9 respectively

If I’m Seattle I’m just as concerned about GBs running game. GB just sliced through the Vikings run D repeatedly and at will. MN is the only D left in the NFC that ranks in the top 10 and Seattle gave up 4.9 yards per carry through the regular season, so they’re not exactly a dominant D.
GB and Seattle are very similar in that neither are close to dominating performances, but both have experienced QBs who find crafty ways to win. You’d have to give the edge to the home team between these 2.

Didn’t Jordy drop a TD pass too?

 

[PackinMSP]

I mean... I think we match up REALLY well with against the Seahawks this time in the playoffs actually lol

Obviously just two main things:

They have some guys in their Front 7 too account for, which is why they got 6 sacks today
Make sure to put safety help on Metcalf to avoid deep completions

jones having a day is imperative.

the ball's got to come out quick. no dilly-dallying. if jones can run, play-action will delay some of that rush.

considering the circumstances I know what you mean..

But MM and everyone always "blaming" that loss SOLELY/ENTIRELY on a fringe/back up player like Bostick is retarded

I mean obviously even going after the onside kick was selfish, but we should have never been in that situation in the first place. Our D actually played PRETTY DAMN well, until the late comeback, in that game too if I remember correctly

 

[TexasCheesehead]

Pete the cheat pulled out every trick he could imagine for that game robbing the USA of what we all wanted....Brady vs Rodgers, instead we were treated to One of the dumbest plays all in Super Bowl history, pass don’t run On the 1. Never before had I rooted for NE but that day I celebrated like a die hard patriot on that INT and laughed at Pete and Sherman’s reactions to it.

defense played well..... until a complete collapse..so kind of up in the air. That ridiculous lob for a 2 point conversion is still stuck in my head that Seattle did. Oh and just wanted to mention this, Rodgers 2 picks that game.. first one was to rookie devante Adams who I feel could have played the ball better (jumped wayyy to early) and grandstander Sherman picked it off and the second pick was a timing route were Cobb or Jordy ran the wrong play ( not sure who) they both ran a curl and I think Cobb was supposed to run a out route.

 

[melvin dangerr]

what do you think about the hit on Wentz by Clowney? fine/suspension?

Neither Wentz was a runner who didn’t give himself up, it was a bang bang play, Clowney was never known as a dirty player.

 

[melvin dangerr]

A couple of arm chair opines:
This game is 1and done, Dbacks and linebackers needs to tackle I mean tackle better with no fear, receivers need to get open quick, Devante cant do this alone, Arod don’t hold the ball to long take off and slide, would rather see you get a few yards than take a bad sack and hard hit because they will be trying to knock you out the game, ST”s a good game please!, MLF your team had about 2 weeks off to rest and prepare coach 4 Qtrs of football! And finally I’m bribing the weather man to make it miserable for Seattle hope I paid enough....

 

[gopkrs]

Neither Wentz was a runner who didn’t give himself up, it was a bang bang play, Clowney was never known as a dirty player.

I thought it was Clowney aiming at Wentz's head when he was already down. Helmet to helmet and after the play. Can't imagine why it was not called.

 

[OldSchool101]

jones having a day is imperative.

Absolutely it does. That starts with our OL also.

But make no mistake I’d much rather be defending the Eagles Sanders/Scott verses our Jones/Williams. The Eagles losing Jordan Howard down the stretch hurt them some, even taking into consideration that Sanders stepped in and played admirably, the Eagles would’ve been better off with a Howard/Sanders1-2 punch.
While McCown played admirably in Wentz absence. The game with Wentz and Howard would’ve been much more competitive. Seattle got to play a favorable matchup in a #2 QB and #2 RB. Sanders also missed a very key 4th down conversion late 4th quarter. It was slightly behind but he tried to run before he caught the ball. It was a walk in 1st down and couldn’t been the tying score.

 

[Mondio]

I thought Clowneys hit looked pretty intentional. Surprised it wasn’t flagged. He had a whole stretched out body to contact and he went right for the head when Wentz was down.

It did look bad but they were both going down, I hate dirty play but after about 6or7 play backs just couldn’t call a foul, again if he had done it before yes I would agree.....

 

[OldSchool101]

It was clearly a forearm to the helmet which gets called 90% of the time. There was several questionable non-calls that we need to learn from.

You may also recall another play where the Seattle D held the Eagles TE for several seconds with both hands on his arms before the ball even arrived. It was blatant in nature and not even questionable. Plays like that are detrimental and absolute drive killers.
These refs are letting them play on D is a likely conclusion.
