Hello Packer Backers.
Seahawks fan, newly minted here when I saw this thread. Instead of talking about the game or anything about my team, I'll just mention a few things about you guys:
Awesome thread: welcoming opposing fan base "officially"
Awesome team: that really develops players, and I respect Rodgers. I wrote a post on our own forum about elite teams in my mind (Patriots, Packers, Seahawks) and what makes them elite, and Rodgers is a perfect example of what happens with getting the right talent in and developing that talent. Specifically citing as an example Rodgers drafted as a backup, going through McCarthy's QB school, etc. You have to think the Seahawks are modeled/inspired by this, (obviously with the John Schneider connection)
Awesome fanbase: I remember reading an article that came out earlier this year about the Packer fan base being the #1 fanbase, including talking about the "old school" fan mentality with Lambeau and parking cars on people's lawns and getting to the game. That's a long standing old school fan base.
Lastly, I believe that the two elite teams in the NFC are the ones that are also battling it on the field Sunday and it only feels right. Trials and tribulations through the season and we see that the elite teams do find ways to win. So regardless of whatever is going on with each team, you can't count either of them out.
May the best team win
