Maybe Rodgers and company understood that none of their receivers had the ability to straight outrun Sherman and that Sherman was simply too good to take a risky chance against. Thus why they put Boykin on Sherman the entire game and let their two better receivers go against the lesser backs. Can't say it wasn't a bad tactic. Packers still managed to put up 16 points on the Seahawks
.
which is more than the Broncos put up

It'd kinda be nice to see the 49ers win it all before Harbaugh bolts. Same for the Lions with Suh.
Neither will happen of course, and that makes me happier.

I know he's in the doghouse for being a moron and taking out the kicks but I'm seriously baffled why Harris didn't get the ball yesterday.
Screens, short passes, etc.
Screens, short passes, etc.
There was absolutely nothing outside on the run and the Packers ran one singular screen pass.
Simply not part of the game plan. He's useful when you can stretch a defense but the Packers weren't doing that yesterday.
I am a hater but I love seeing salty/douchey Rodgers on the sidelines when things are going south on the team.
He looks like such a bitch. He doesn't share a lot in common with Brady (he had a penis, great arm and can outrun a dead turtle) but that is one thing they have in common. Probably the only thing.
Too bad I won't see that again for a long time. GB is going to be really good on offense this year if they stay healthy. And with a real running back they might just choke out teams once they get a double digit lead.
Ez what do you think of the coaching at GB? Team was sloppy last night and is making the same mistakes on defense for several years now. Do they just fire Capers or is fatso on the hot seat if they are one and done?

Best defense of all time was the 70's Steelers. Unlike other teams like the Bears, Ratbirds Rams, or Eagles, they didn't dominate for one year and disappear. They were monsters for consecutive years, winning 3 championships in that span. In fact, their most dominating season didn't culminate in a SB win due to injuries to the RBs.
(They started to decline in their 4th championship season).

Wow that really is a great story. It is horrible that his child is sick, but it is really nice of the team to help him out like that.
jnc, they Eagles defense didnt continue to dominate because its best player Jerome Brown fucking died and then a bunch of guys left during FA, also Buddy got fired and replaced by a moron named Kotite.

And why would I want them?
I just wish the pack would have been more competitive in this game. I wasn't really expecting to beat the champs at their house but was hoping we'd be in the game and put up a good fight but that didn't happen. The second half was a complete disaster. It just feels like no matter what happens this year now this game is going to haunt the pack all the way up until the playoffs. Gonna be a long week 
I know you didn't ask me but I wanted to chime in anyway. They'll probably never fire McCarthy because he won a Super Bowl, so he's practically untouchable (even though I personally think McCarthy is a very over rated coach). If the defense keeps playing like they did against Seattle, Capers shouldn't make it through the year. But McCarthy and Ted Thompson don't seem to have the guts to do anything dramatic like that, so Capers will dodge bullets until the very end of the year
and then come back for the 2015 season
I wasn't expecting the Pack to beat Seattle in Seattle but I expected them to be a little more competitive. Their defense looked like a college level squad all game, and the entire team looked like they didn't have a clue in the second half.

Guys. Opening day. I said it before, Pack had no chance.

Only one man will defeat Sherman this year!
This, Sherman is a joke and should stop calling himself the best in the NFL.
he plays on one side of the field and is scared of the other. I wish Rodgers would of at least tried to challenge him a few times though.

"I was a teammate of Deion Sanders and it was easy when opponents threw away from him cause we rolled coverage away, but it was harder when San Francisco or the other Elite QBs would throw to him cause the whole field would be in play"
Darren Woodson on First Take. Truth
"Brett Favre would of threw to Sherman"
Stephen A Smith. Lol that's saying something but also true.

I like that he says "to" and not "at." Those interceptions would've been helpful to the Packers cause I am sure.
If only Rodgers would punch a few women, maybe Stephen A. would like him....
This is all being fast tracked by Papa Johns and Peyton Manning in order to free their scrappy wide out.
Favre would of had a 50/50 chance of INT or TD

Just saw this tweet. Very interesting point. With GB losing their right tackle, their plan to avoid Sherman really worked against them as two of Seattle's sacks came from the right end with Rodgers' back turned to the rusher.
Of course he would have. He does have the most INT's in history.

Sherman had 8 ints last year on very few passes against. I dont think forcing the ball to Boykin while he is covering him is the answer. GB definitely should have thrown to other guys on that side so as to not shrink the field, but throwing picks just to say we challenged Sherman seems dumb.
Definitely. Favre's strength and weakness was that he didn't give a shit and thought he could beat anyone.
Honestly, I kind of miss that. My biggest complaint about Rodgers is that he holds onto the ball for too damn long and doesn't take enough chances. Rodgers takes a lot of unnecessary sacks.
That would certainly be dumb, but putting a better wide receiver like Nelson or Cobb against Sherman wouldn't be. I don't think Sherman would have shut down either as easily as he did Boykin.
But why would you even risk shutting down one of your better receivers if Seattle shows absolutely no interest in putting their best CB on your best WR?
Well, I really don't think he takes enough chances. Rodgers in my opinion plays conservative for a guy of his talents. He has the strength and accuracy to pull off some Favre level shit (in a good way).

We all know Favre would've made several terrific completions on Sherman
Only to throw a crucial Int that would cost them the game.

Yup you clearly misunderstood what he meant. Also I Stephen A said "Thrown at" not "to" I just rewind it to see if I misheard it.
If Nelson was on Sherman and Sherman would be in man all game he'd get thrown at without question. That would not happen. He's never on an island against any receiver all game. That's not how their defense operates.

Chances of that drug deal happening by this weekend? Slim.
That would have to happen for welker and Gordon to be unsuspended.

techies is here and its a nightmare... EUUGGHHHH
well at least the game was close for a little bit (just watched it on game rewind)
Run d was terrible but that's nothing new.
ILBs wouldn't start for a goddam arena league team, jesus christ why does capers still have a job?
Rodgers was shook the first half, especially that pass when he already had the first on 4th&3 wtf
Those delayed handoffs and pitches to lacy went absolutely nowhere most of the time, had to get the yards all by himself. But he got concussed again? Fucking A :\
Bulaga being out sucks, wish the oline could all be healthy and you know, good.
All in all the better team won ¯\_(ツ_/¯ RIP Hito

If I recall correctly, the Bears were throwing it at Sherman during the preseason. They were getting good yardage too. Not much trying to go over him, but I remember a drive where Cutler (or whoever the QB was at the time) kept throwing it towards the right side on comeback routes getting solid gains.

If anything I think the Seahawks actually came off looking worse.
We've known what the Pack is for years - Dominant QB, powerful offense, shitty defense. That hasn't changed.
Conversely some of the Seahawks mystique got rubbed off yesterday. While they still have a dominant secondary, that front seven looked flat. Disciplined, but flat.I'm also still unimpressed with Russell. I've never seen a scrambling QB get so many clean throws. Obviously that's in large part due to the offense Seattle runs though.

Odds on Jim Schwartz being their head coach by the end of the season?
Trading everything for Watkins when you don't even have a NFL starting QB on your roster...good luck. Sucks because EJ seems like a cool guy but he's in a horrible situation and isn't getting better; apparently he doesn't even have a QB coach.

Cam Newton was throwing today at Panthers practice. DeAngelo Williams provided injury update, telling reporters Cam was not limited today.
smh DeAngelo stfu, it's called gamesmanship
People underestimate the importance of PA to their offense, Lynch is the entire foundation it stands on. Everything they do is dictated from that base, even most of Harvin's plays that weren't outright off the bat were the same.
Lynch is a dominating RB, and Seattle has crafted the absolute perfect system for him. So many people were WAY jumping the gun saying they can be the same without him. I think it's going to be a DRASTIC downgrade.
