  1. I disagree that GB lacks an elite OL. PFF has them as the second best pass pro line, just behind #1. A bad game vs an aggressive defense is allowed every now and again

  2. Seattle had 3 of their starting D Line out early in the season in Murphy, Williams and Reed. They are all back and rounding into form and could be the difference against this increasingly suspect Packers O Line. I thought the Packers were poor against the Lions patchwork D last week. The Packers just don't seem to have a leader or alpha on the offence or defence which is how their WR potpourri can hurt them. They have no one that demands the ball in gotta have it situations, and no defensive player to turn to for that clutch play. I think Seattle could win, and put a severe dent in the Packers hype.

  13. You guys need to go & watch Kurt Benkerts 3 minute long video, as to why green bays line had a bad game. It was because of the way the center was doing the silent snap. He was looking back through his legs, & when he picked his head up, they were snapping the ball. Detroit was able to key on that. & was 3 yards past the line of scrimmage, by the time the ball was getting to J Love.

  16. It seems, based on the comment section, that people are still sleeping on the Hawks. During their 4 game winning streak, they haven’t given up more than 21 points, and that game against the Jets, 7 of those points were on special teams. So defensively the last 4 games, the defense (which is a major contributor to winning championships) has given up an average of 13.75 points, whereas the Packers in that span have given up an average of an even 20. This will be a battle of defenses, and whichever team can create turnovers will win. The home team is dominant in this series, and that shouldn’t change here.
    Packers 17
    Seahawks 21
    GO HAWKS!!

  17. The "Don't-want-to-face-them-in-January Bowl" is an excellent one line summarization of this game. Underrated aspect is going to be GB's run blocking against a pretty stout run defending Seattle front–if GB can't get Jacobs going and Love is under a lot of pressure, that could spell disaster for the green and gold (on offense anyway). Much easier said than done however

  18. Can't wait – 12s gonna win 12 in a row to win the SB. Gr8 chat boys – Ur Smart!

    Big Ben took our SB40 with help from a ref who later apologised to the 12s for the worst ever refereeing in a SB. HoF Mike Holmgren & Sean Alexander & Walter Jones deserved rings.

    Good luck with injuries & health. Lucky calls on borderline decisions & we willl win

    Top reporter N. Renolds says HoF HC said JSN is a hybrid of Rice & Largent (Jerry & Steve reported to agree with the comparison)

    Top talent analyst DJ Daniel Jeremiah & Top TV pundit said Spoon is a hybrid of Daryl Green & Ronde Barber (Barber twins reported to agree).

    Lumen is a field of nightmares for cheese heads. Fail Mary game & NFC 2015 championship= GOAT NFC comeback which made dangerous Wilson cry in joy

    Aditi & Schrager report that Seahawks D has been amazing since we 10.

    Top OL pundit Baldinger says 12s OL has improved a lot since C Olu RG Laumea & RT replaced Connors & Bradford & Fant.

    Baldy says OL get better as they gel over time.

    12s will win & in playoffs. WIN & IN BABY! 12 wins in a row incoming for the 12s if they stay healthy.

    12s dont have great depth on the OL after Fant & Peters went on IR & Connors retired.
