Excellent write-up, SoS. Very nice read.

Agree very much that the entire game rests on the Lynch vs The Pack match-up. If he continually rattles off big gains and runs clock, Rodgers stays off the field, limiting his chances to drop easy scores over your puny (well, gigantic, actually, considering they're) defensive backs.

For the passing games IMO

Chancellor will likely be on Finley all day. He should be able to keep him in check. Your oversized corners (probably Browner) will take away some of Jordy's value. I expect Jennings to have Thomas shading his way along with Sherman. That should limit his effectiveness. Therefore, we will need Rodgers to have his accuracy and decision making skills at their top level. I also expect Cobb to lead the team in catches and receiving yards. He will need to show up big for us to have success passing.

On the other side, I think Bush gets a lot of early down action because of his ability in the run game and his instincts with mobile QBs. If Seattle had any receivers this could create a mis-match. Rice will be a non-factor as Tramon is a superior player and shuts down better receivers for breakfast. Woodson should shut down Baldwin. Tate will likely get either Bush on early downs or Shields on late ones. If Edwards sees playing time you can expect Shields. Our safeties will likely just play deep zone thanks to the lack of hawks receiving talent. Unfortunately for Russell Wilson, I don't think he'll have very good passing numbers.

If Okung plays (heard he's questionable) then it should be a close, surprisingly low-scoring game. Probably 24-20 Packers. If Okung is out, then I expect the Packers defense to dominate. 27-10 Pack.

I wouldn't dismiss Golden Tate. Dude has seriously been coming on as of late and he looks focused, which has been his main problem in the past. I think he could have a huge game if you guys disrespect him and ignore him.

Seahawks are better than Packers in every way. Na-na-nuh boo-boo, stick your face in doo-doo.

If the GB is going to win they need to shut down Wilson. No passing game then the D line can be stacked for Lynch. Hawks will need to use other methods to relieve pressure to Wilson other than just Lynch. Wilson needs to throw a better long ball because they look like hail marrys to me. Hoping to see a better long ball last week but still about the same from pre-season and week 1. Also his passes can be high causing his R's to reach.

Can't rely on our ST's to keep making big plays like weeks 1and2. But we have the 12th man and have history of playing well on MNF at home.

Hawks win.

Lynch Lynch and more Lynch as long as the Packers don't put up 2 scores on us fast.

Real talk:

1) I want to pass all over you because I don't want this ending up a Turbin/Lynch vs Green/Benson battle Mad

2) I'm beyond scared of your DBs and Clemons. If somehow we can get around them (using 3, 4 receiver options...oh God, Finley) then this will be a piece of cake. I don't think it's going to be.
3) What's up with Russell Wilson? I love the kid and wanted him for Green Bay badly, but it looks like he's throwing a baseball when he throws. Dude is like yes or no in categories. Super short, very fast, beast of an arm, and the worst touch I have ever seen in my life Laughing

if he can get that together I think he's going to be an All-Pro QB. Just looks like he wants to get the ball from A-B but doesn't care how it gets there.

Packers 42
Seahawks 28
Patriots 0

Both teams have a good shot at winning this game. Here's my opinion as to the keys for the Seahawks:

Seattle
The Packers have an elite pass rush and above average secondary, yet have allowed 140 yards per game this season against the run- that's 5.1 yards per attempt!

Conversely, Seattle is top 5 in the league in rush yards per game, and has already played two top rush D teams. What will Seattle's game-plan be? You do the math. Now, having a game plan vs executing that will be two very different stories. Bevell needs to be very good at establishing the ground game while not being too predictable. It's clear we are going to run the football, but I suggest not always running on 1st down.

The Packers' D is more flashy then stout. It's built to withhold the "NEW" NFL- the Air attack NFL where QBs drop back and throw it 45+ times a game. Well, Seattle's offence is opposite to that, and will challenge that philosophy.

If the Seahawks can take advantage of the crowd noise and get a few big plays on ST/D, then let the O establish the running game/ PA, then it will be a victory for the Hawks. If the Seahawks get behind quickly 14-3, then the pass rush and secondary will be too much for them to overcome.

I'll be surprised if Cedric Benson gets 50 yards in this game.

I expect Randall Cobb to be your leading receiver. Although, Jordy Nelson COULD have a decent day against Brandon Browner. How is he against the press?
