I'm inclined to agree. I'm not saying I think they'd lose if they play the Seahawks. Seattle does scare me the most, followed by SF if Justin Smith is healthy.
The Seahawks have the prototypical defense you'd need to beat the Patriots: they can get pressure rushing four, their linebackers are athletic, and their secondary is big and physical which could be problematic for our diminutive receivers. You're right in saying that Gronk and Hernandez would be the key, and I really cannot wait to see them both healthy and playing simultaneously.

The problem is that they are getting back a lot of key players that were injured. Sam Shields and Clay Matthews, both coming from injuries, are playing really good. They will be getting Charles Woodson, Jordy Nelson and Alex Green any time soon.
Also, they're getting back to the run game: 110+ yds over the last 5 weeks. But most importantly, I don't want to see them in the SB because it would be a huge task to stop an elite, mobile QB AND cover these guys: JJones, Randall Cobb, Greg Jennings and Jordy Nelson.

Tell me about it. I would love to have this guy on my team instead of the **** CBs we've had for the last few years. Instead, we are all butthurt because he made fun of our golden boy. You should check out Twitter, nothing but Pats fans talking crap to Sherman when news came out of the test results.
I'd take this guy on my team any day. And if we had been lucky enough to get him, we'd all love him, just like we loved Rodney. He's only a jerk because he plays for someone else and talks trash to us.

I also like Belichick vs Carroll in a rematch on any field.
I'll take Bill every day of the week, but he has been outcoached at times (Coughlin especially). I look at it as "nobody is perfect." Still, Petey is a great football coach and on a given day could outcoach anybody.
Wilson is doing a lot more things now than he was back when we played them. Their offense is just much better than it was. Obviously Sherman plays now. It would be a great matchup.
What is weird about that tidbit is that they are fully under the radar. Everybody is gah-gah over the rookie QBs to the point of forgetting all about GB. Big mistake. Like with Brady, if Rodgers has a big day there aren't many defenses or rookie QBs that will keep up with him. Well, there are none.
He's only a jerk because he plays for someone else and talks trash to us.
I wouldn't even call him a jerk. He's just doing what they all do. No sense in getting into a knot over one more mouthy guy. On the field Brady may talk more trash than any QB in the league but we have a way of calling that "Passion for the game." The way I see it he and Sherman are the same guy playing different positions. Interesting matchup!
Dude's got swagger. Good for him. I'd love to have a ticked off TB12 get another shot at this guy. I would wager the outcome would be different.
that plus the fact he called the patriots a "gimmick offense" after the game...both he and earl thomas.

"He’s the greatest quarterback to ever play the game. He goes from being a rookie that nobody is expecting anything from, to taking over with people saying he can’t do it, to winning three Super Bowls....It should already be obvious he’s the greatest quarterback to ever have played. "

You're right, and it's because they had struggles early on, and started out 2-3. People basically wrote them off then, and what they've done since has been ignored.
The Packers are 26-5 over the past two seasons, even counting the screwing they got in the Seahawks game. They've won 9 of their last 10 games, with their only loss coming against a Giants team that has shown it can match up with them. What team does that seem awfully similar to?
The Packers are the NFC version of the Patriots. The only real difference between the two teams is that the Packers have a better two-year record despite have played the harder schedule during that time.
