Going to be a tough one. Offense needs to get in sync.

I feel like we're going to win comfortably tonight. I'm probably wrong.

I'm right there with you on the former. Had no worries about Chicago, serious reservations about SF, and we only lose to SEA if we defeat ourselves with drops, holds, and the random bad bounces (*given the seeming frequency of those events, I suppose one ought not rule out this possibility).

In any case, Greg Jennings is planning to put the team on his broken groin, doe, and I expect Jordicai, Jones, and Cobb to all look that much better being bumped down 1 spot in the wr rotation. Love that Ced Ben is a captain tonight, and hope to see Saturday look a pinch bit more competent. Hope the youth movement on defense continues and the rotation of Moses, Perry, Walden continues to complement Claymaker in his quest for sack dominance. Really, reaaaaaaally Worthy see's similar snaps this week despite what I think (hope) is a healthier dline.

Finally, Rodgers is due for a Godgers like game, and tonight should very well be that night.

Get. it. on.

I don't know how healthy he is, but it would nice to see Alex Green get some PT and break a long one on either a draw or a screen.

Offense needs to get in sync and stop stuttering. Gotta step up tonight against another good defense

This. Let him give it a shot. IF effective, better Alex back there among the big guys than Cobb (even tho I love Cobb - keep him in the slot). Plus Alex can block the blitz pretty good.

Line is only 3.5

Troublesome.

I picked Seattle to cover too. I don't feel confident about this game at all.

Seattle overpursues everything so screens, delayed handoffs (not too many), double moves, and a healthy mix of play action will help take down thus young defense.

I'd like to see some designed rollouts to change things up as well.

Relax enjoy the blow out. The offense is going to be lights out. Going to put on a show tonight. All your going to hear the rest of the week how the Packers are back as the best team in the NFL and nobody else is close.

Chuck is going to play well tonight. He always dominates rookie QBs.

The Packers have won their first road game of the season each year under coach Mike McCarthy, a six-game winning streak in road openers that is the longest current streak in the NFL.

:geek: The more you know...

They also won every opener under McCarthy. That streak was broken this year.

I don't see a blowout happening unless Seattle has multiple turnovers, their defense is easily above average.

Barring Seattle not turning it over 3 times or more, the only other way i see an easy win is the Pack connecting on multiple long gains in the passing game which hasn't been the case the first two weeks. Seattle has a quality secondary though, so if they can generate pressure on Rodgers, this could end up being a game in the 20's instead of the 30's where the Packers would prefer it to be. Not letting Lynch go for 80-100 pus yards will also be huge.
