For the Packers to go to Seattle and win on a Thursday nite , the first game of the season, every player, coach, trainer, and equipment man will need to bring their BIG A game along with some good luck. The Seahawks already look to be ready to hit the first play of the first game at 100% ready to go. Coach McCarthy will know this and will know that he and the Packers have to be up to the challenge before they leave for Seattle. Seattle's running attack, M.Lynch, will be looking to rip holes in the Packers D-line. They will need to be ready to stop a top tier running game. Their Defence finished 1st last season and they will be very physical this season. The Packers O-line will need to protect Rodgers and open holes for Lacey, a tall order against Seattle.
The game will be very close at the half with Seattle leading 14 to 13 .
When the teams return in the second half, A.Rodgers and the Packer Offence will come out gunning. A Rodgers to Nelson TD will be the lone highlight of the 3rd qtr. . The Seahawks score early in the 4th qtr. with Wilson throwing to his TE. With a 1 pt. lead , Seattle recovers a fumble and starts down the field. At this point, the Packers defence holds the Seahawks from scoring a TD, but not a field goal. Seattle kicks off to GB with 1:47 remaining on the clock. Lacey has just gotten better as the game has progressed and is ripping off 5 and 6 yard burst as A.Rodgers hits his receivers for 8 and 9 yard grabs. With time running out the Seattle defence stiffens to stop Lacey at the 2 yd. line with 22 sec. remaining . GB calls timeout on 3 rd down and Rodgers walks over to talk with Coach McCarthy. It is amazing that they can hear each other as the Seattle crowd. Rodgers returns to the Packer huddle and calls the play. He lines up in the shootgun with Lacy in the backfield . The ball is snapped and all the receivers and the TE start their routes. Seattle has chosen to bring the house to get at Rodgers. Rodgers cooly tosses a basket pass to Boykin in the left rear corner of the end zone for the
TOUCHDOWN ! The Seahawks protest , but to no avail. Crosby puts the cherry (extra point) on the victory cake.
Seattle can do little with the kickoff and the 8 sec. left on the clock.
Packers Win ! 27 to 24
