Green Bay @ Washington

[seahawkfreak]

Really didn't get why so many experts picked Washington.

 

[Laloosh]

Horray....now if they beat Arizona and we win we have to play in another cold as F stadium...possibly a snow game

I don't think GB has the secondary to handle Floyyd, Fitz and Brown.

 

[Cyrus12]

skins were never gonna win this game anyway...just play in a real shitty div. Cousins may not get the pay day he thinks hes gonna get.

Can't win in the playoffs with a crap D. Ask John Elway.

 

[Sports Hernia]

GB wins this unless they step on their appendages.

 

[SeatownJay]

I will say this for Washington, the field looks much better than it did when we played there in the playoffs.

Really not looking forward to another ice bowl/snow game if somehow Packers and Us make it to NFCCG

 

[MrThortan]

Looks like I will be rooting for Arizona next week. Blech! Just can't root for GB... just can't do it.

Only rooting for Arizona next week because if we advance to the NFCCG id rather play in that dome where we have done really good over playing in cold as hell lambeau field.

Is Washington's D just bad? Or has GB figured things out on offense?

 

[Ambrose83]

Holy crap. Did the "Green Beast" finally wake up?

No, they played Washington

This is the question for me.

Inclined to give more weight to washingtons crappy D but GB seems like they figured *something* out because they came out poorly and started clicking in the 2nd.

Skins D was 17th in PPG with 23.7...
26th in rushing yards per game with 122 yards
25th in passing yards per game with 258 yards

by contrast

Vikings 5th in ppg with 18.9
17th in rushing/game with 109
12th in passing with 234 yards


Seahawk D?

1st in ppg with 17.3
1st in rushing per game with 81
2nd in passing yards per game with 210(denver was 199)


In this game Rodgers had 210 passing yards so thats below redskins avg given up
GB has 130 rushing yards so thats a few yards above their average

 

[BobcatHawk]

Wow, is this the first time all four Wild Card teams advanced to the Divisional Round?

 

[MrThortan]

I am sad there is not another game on tonight. Off season isn't far away. Think I will start following the CFL to get some football sooner.

College football game tommorow night though!

It looks like it (at least for this weekend anyway). I didn't foresee this coming, that's for sure. I should have -- after all, it's Aaron Rodgers. That makes things interesting next week with the Cardinals, for sure.

How crazy would that be if the Seahawks win ... and Green Bay finds a way to win. An NFC Championship Game at Lambeau Field?!?? Who would have believed that was possible just a few weeks ago? It just goes to show you how the playoffs are a totally different animal -- where the unexpected CAN and DOES very often happen.

 

[Seafan]

You liked that!

And so did I.

I've been telling people this for seemingly forever.

I think so but I don't have ESPN or NFL Network to confirm it. I just know I have never seen it since I started watching football seriously in the 1990's.
