Wow, Green Bay's defense really came to play today.

The big question will be if they can sustain the intensity. If Seahawks D matches it, they might be able to turn the momentum.

Because if you dont make it in the 1st Q you are down 7-0 with all the momentum gone. Take the points right now. Blame them for not converting to a TD but kicking the FG is just good defense.

I can't stand playing conservative.

87 seconds

Of course TDs are better but 6 points half way through the 1st quarter against a team giving up 8 ppg in their 7 game win streak is still a good start.

Same kinda start as last years nfccg.

Really Aikman? All 32 QBs? Geno Smith has something to say about that

How is there no flag there?

of course no call

Same kinda start as last years nfccg.

Our defense gets owned by the ravens scrubs but nelson is dropping passes left and right here wtf.

Nelson channeling his inner Welker today. Awful drop even though refs missed a face mask.

GB running well...I am surprised

I am for "let them play" but that face mask should have been called.

that was an interesting spin by Lacy

Lacy looking good so far.

Green bay struggling with these and 1 yard situations

You can look at it as playing smart and the odds. If GB was down 7-0 and kicked a FG I wouldve understood the argument.

why do you want the pack? A super bowl against them is no gimme

2 reasons.

#1 I don't want Seattle to win it all.

#2 I think though GB is a very good team Seattle generally is a tiny bit better so i want a slightly easier match up. Both be tough though.

The #1 strategy for Seattle to defend Lacey is for Seattle to get ahead in the score so that it forces GB to abandon the run.

That being said, if GB gets well-enough ahead, then Seattle's going to struggle considering the questions at WR.
