    Some people just need to sit back, unwind and...

    Game Day!

    Excited for this now. I would say Lacey will be getting a good bit of the ball and Rodgers to spread it around field without much trouble.

    Not sure what to expect with the D. I suppose we will be guaranteed a few picks seeing as its Cutler. I just hope we see some decent coverage and actually making tackles.

    All I can see is a Pack win and a good start to the season.

    Potentially costly penalty.

    Cult legend, big play/occasional TD machine who also makes some incredible brainfarts too along the lines of drops and fumbles. Was a really good 3rd receiver for years before Cobb took his place, including a 14 TD season in 2012 but wanted starting time and more money, so went elsewhere and flopped. If he had more consistency/awareness/intelligence to his game he had all the other tools to be a multiple time all pro. Still, a very good and solid WR who Rodgers knows well.

    Correction: He is the greatest WR of all timeseseses.

    Adams is already looking better this year.

    Jones? It is believed some people in GB are happy that he's back. Possibly.

    :pac:

    Run defence going to be a massive problem again. Forte with 132 already in the third quarter. Needs to be addressed if the packers are to go deep this year


  • Registered Users Posts: 252 ✭✭limerickfc


    Very important stop there


  • Registered Users Posts: 16,164 ✭✭✭✭Pherekydes


    Booom!


  • Registered Users Posts: 252 ✭✭limerickfc


    At least we got the W. Very poor overall though

    Ya the O wasn't bad by any accounts..just felt like it cause we seen so little of em, & thankfully Rodgers seems fresh and mobile..way too many penalties though was stressing the life outta me


  • Registered Users Posts: 483 ✭✭darklighter


    Pi$$ poor tackling again :mad:

    Only for Seattles O-line is so bad, id be worried about losing next wk....fingers crossed the run D improves before next week!

    Lynch will have a ****ing field day

    Yeah Lynch has always torn it up against the Packers but even still I fancy us to do them this week. I think it will be a "statement" performance -- I don't think you can coach hunger and the lads will be absolutely flying around in training this week wanting to put the wrongs of the NFC championship game behind them. I'm putting myself out there to be shot at but I think the Packers will win by 10+

    I think that's a tad optimistic, but this is a revenge game for sure.

    The Seahawks will do what they always do: beat the living **** out of us up and down the field, be bigger, faster, stronger and meaner than us, and either walk over us altogether or take the lead on when we are beaten and broken. It's wash, rinse, repeat at this stage.

    I hope I'm wrong, but I don't think I will be. And if we don't play CM III inside and a lot, Lynch is more likely to go for over 200 yards than he is to go for under 150.

    The NFC game was lost more due to the negative tactics of McCarthy and just plain 'ol throwing away a big lead and caving under pressure.

    Let's not forget that up until the Seahawks comeback, Wilson was having a stinker of a game and GB were deservedly in front. What happened after had more to do with GB caving than the Seahawks' battering finally taking it's toll imo.

    Yeah might be but just think they will be seriously ready to go for this week. Primetime slot too. I'd be more confident if the Hawks hadn't have dropped a clanger in St. Louis as that will have focussed the minds on their side too. They will also get a huge morale boost if Kam is in the lineup also. Lot of factors in this one but hoping it goes GB's way. Aslo, it's always good to throw in a bold prediction now and again and get a few people off the fence a bit! ha! :pac:

    Have lost the last 3 v Seahawks, but really should have won 2 that will go down in infamy, the Golden Tate TD and of course that game...

We are more afraid of this Seattle team than anyone we have feared in my whole time watching the team, it really is kind of disturbing.
