NFC Championship game, Green Bay Packers at Seattle Seahawks

[Deus Irae]

Seattle's committed 4 turnovers and a boatload of penalties
Seattle's offense hasn't done a damned thing beyond those turnovers
Green Bay's had excellent field position pretty much all game long
Green Bay's had 2 "and goal" situations
Earl Thomas had to leave the game for a while, with an arm injury
Despite the above, Seattle's still allowed just 16 points, and has picked off Aaron Rodgers twice.


And people wonder why so many of us don't want the Patriots to have to deal with that defense?

Root hard for the Seahawks. Their offense has been exposed as limited and flowed. It will be BY FAR the easiest offense to defend. They are clearly the preferred opponent, I doubt the can do it, but hoping, Watch for more read option stuff

It makes a difference for the Pats because that game earlier in the season would have gone their way if it wasn't in Lambeau.

Basing the results of the past game is terribly foolish in my opinion.

For one Devonte Adams hadn't even become comfortable in their offense yet, and still managed to take advantage of our poorer options at the CB3-4 spots. He's now a much bigger part of their gameplan.

You're also making a huge assumption that we'd be able to stop both Nelson and Cobb again--as well as stopping the run vs. Lacy. Maybe we'd get lucky and all of those things would line up like last time?

The difference of opinion lies in how we view our defense. I still think they have issues.

Looks like they need Lynch to bail'm out.

 

[Bobsyouruncle]

Lynch has ridiculous balance.

 

[patriot lifer]

Lynch is inspiring some hope on the Seattle side

 

[Skree]

Lynch must have downed a bottle of Adderall during the half

 

[FrodoBagginz]

A good drive for the Seahawks. Last time that happened we had our first landing on the Moon.

 

[DaBronxPats14]

For bein home Hawks get alot of false starts & off sides.

You're also making the assumption that our offense wouldn't have torn them to shreds had it not been in Lambeau. We still only lost by 5 points in one of the hardest places to win a game

 

[FrodoBagginz]

LOL

 

[Skree]

What a sack!

 

[ashley]

wow, huge play by Matthews.

 

[DefenseRules]

WOW.

 

[patriot lifer]

That's a heck of a sack

 

[Mark12]

Matthews is a monster

 

[Delicate Genius]

That was a Tebow sack.

 

[pwes]

not a chance in hell they get out of this

 

[Wheelman]

That's freaking ridiculous! They should add the 15 yard penalty on top of the sack!
