It wasn't a catch, but neither was the pass interference on Chancellor that ultimately landed your only touchdown, I guess resentment still lingers on here. The game was officiated horribly from Clay Mathews roughing the passer to many others. You guys have a golden opportunity this year to go deep in the playoffs and a few of you are still upset about Golden Tate? He isn't even a Seahawk anymore. Had you won the game you would have lost to the Niners (who I hate with the fire of a thousand suns) even if you would have played them at home; they were simply a better team.
I get your frustration but that was two years ago. I suppose it is like arguing with Steeler fans that the Hawks weren't screwed though.
I would like to learn more about your team, who are the players to watch that weren't a part of the 2012 team? Was Greg Jennings a big loss? To the more knowledgeable fans, what matchups do you think the Packers will exploit vs the Seahawks?
Personally I think that this matchup will could possibly decide the NFC this year. You guys play both us and the Saints and I believe the three of our teams will be fighting for supremacy. We don't play the Saints unfortunately so if the Hawks beat the Packers and you beat the Saints, home field is ours BWHAHAHAHAHHAHA. In all seriousness, I was very excited to hear that you guys were first on the schedule.
Niner fans, sorry but you team looks like garbage and the great Stevie Johnson has been trash. Many rumblings that he may or many not make the team, excuse me? Colin did a little too much partying with Ricardo Lockette LOL.
Ok, so let's quit talking about the Fail Mary Bowl. I for one am sick of it. (btw, you mentioned all the bad calls against the Hawks and none of the bad calls against the Packers...there were more than one my friend. See my previous post.)
To your questions: Jennings? Packers have a deep receiving corps and some up-and-comers in Boykin, and this year's crops: Davante Adams and Jeff Janis who has been a real surprise. Nelson, Cobb and Boykin make a solid WR corps with some solid, promising back-ups. Jennings and his contract? Not a big deal.
More serious is losing Jermichael Finley, a real threat at TE. Rookie Carlos Rodgers has been looking good, but he's a rookie but there's no clear replacement for Finley yet.
In TC Packer offense has been throwing the ball to the RBs a lot more than in the past, so expect to see Eddie Lacy and DuJuan Harris with some throws their way.
What will the Pack exploit? The big difference this year is that the Packers have a legit running game. Eddie Lacy is a beast in the mode of Marshawn Lynch. He's a load, he's quick and he is very hard to bring down. Behind Lacy the Packers are in good shape with Dujuan Harris and James Starks. Force the Hawks to respect the run, punish them with Lacy if they don't, and work off that to create open receivers for Rodgers. IMO your best 2ndary guy ain't Mr. Sherman, it's Earl Thomas. He and Chancellor are the two guys that let Sherman get away all that he does.
It comes down pass rush yet again. Rodgers with time will kill you. Rodgers without time will give the Seahawks secondary chances.
