[QUOTE="byau, post: 593412, member: 10571"] I think it's fair to say the Seahawks will likely win. I don't want that to sound like overconfidence or homerism. The vegas line, listening to ESPN 540 Wisconsin, sports analysts, etc.. the majority pick the Seahawks to win. And I myself would be more surprised by a Seahawks loss than a Seahawks win. That out of the way, of course the Packers can still beat us. Two signature losses the Hawks had: San Diego (week 2), Dallas (week 4?). I don't really count Kansas City or St. Louis - those are more outliers to me. The San Diego and Dallas games were similar and watching the whole game, didn't seem like the loss was much in doubt no matter how close the score. What happened in those games? Opposing O dominated the Seahawks D. (In San Diego, there was help with the 100 degree temperature) What did they do? The running was not spectacular (in Dallas it was a threat). Short passes. A few long passes, but mostly short passes and a lot of patience which meant long drives keeping the Seahawks defense on the field. And the short passes are the ones that can work against Sherman and the secondary Not a lot of scrambling! Romo can't scramble. Rivers? Not so much. And both teams opposing offense arguably played their best game ever. [B]So how does that bode for the game this Sunday? [/B] Can the Packers run this offense? Yes of course. * Not a lot of scrambling * lots of accuracy and short routes * the occasional long ball * threat of a rush The Packers probably do it better than the Cowboys and the Chargers. But the Seahawks are different now too * those games happened week 2 and week 4, * very early on well before the defense was clicking and attacking. * The defense really did not click and attack until Thanksgiving. * Also Kam Chancellor was not playing well during this time. So while the Packers can definitely execute that game plan better than the Cowboys and Chargers (much better), they will have to contend now against a Seahawks defense that, when in sync and attack mode will be more immune to such an opposing offensive attack. With Bobby Wagner playing lights out and Kam Chancellor back to being his Bam-Bam self, going short routes will be much more difficult. Hawks D playing this way now they would not have lost against the Chargers nor the Cowboys. Result? The Packers need to play their best game, the Seahawks will need to have a few issues on D, and if that happens it'll be a toss up. So yes I will be surprised at a Seahawks loss, but doesn't mean the Packers can be taken lightly. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
