Pumped Packers itching to avenge NFC loss to Seahawks

The Seattle Seahawks will be hoping to pile more pain on the Green Bay Packers in their week two clash at Lambeau Field. They looked like your average defense last week against a Rams team that put up 34 points on them in an overtime loss.

At least he used “we” when talking about the Seahawks instead of the Packers in that last sentence.

Nevertheless, even with Wilson setting a brand new career-high for cross makes an attempt in a single recreation, the Seahawks bread-and-butter dashing assault appeared sharp.

The Seahawks opened overtime with an onside kick, as Bradley Marquez caught Steven Hauschka’s popped-up attempt.

Without a doubt the biggest issue for the Seahawks right now is the holdout of Kam Chancellor. Seattle has won its last three matchups against Green Bay, including last year’s NFC Championship game in Seattle. The team is being careful with its playmaker during the week so he can be ready to play Sunday night against Seattle.

The game also marked a less-than-stellar showing for tailback Marshawn Lynch, who managed only 73 yards on 18 carries.

Seahawk Nation is feeling a bit like the Chicken Little Society – the sky is falling. Offensive line coach Tom Cable said they were targeting the wrong players to block at times and weren’t able to get into a rhythm.

“We’ve had the opportunity as a football team, I think individually everybody has had the opportunity to go through last season”, McCarthy said. We’ll start it off with the Packers. In the most recent clash between the franchises, Seattle stormed back from a 16-0 halftime deficit to book their second consecutive trip to the Super Bowl. “Outside or inside -he’s got great ball skills, intelligent, understands route concepts really well”, Rodgers said. He hasn’t thrown an interception at Lambeau since Week 13 of the 2012 season, a streak of 512 consecutive completions. That’s a pretty incredible streak for the two-time MVP.

By winning in Chicago on Sunday while divisional rivals Detroit and Minnesota were losing, Green Bay is just the fourth team in 49 years to be the lone unbeaten team in the division after one week.

This is it for the Packers.

The Packers intercepted Wilson three times and held him to 12 yards passing and a 0.0 passer rating in the first half of that NFC title game; that’s how dominant the Packers defense was. The Seahawks defense is more vulnerable now than ever, and Rodgers has to take advantage of that. Receivers James Jones and Randall Cobb combined for three TD’s, so Rodgers definitely has some weapons to work with.

“I can assure you, it’s not something that’s talked about much”, Packers linebacker Clay Matthews said of the revenge aspect of Sunday’s rematch.

Let’s look for some help from an insightful response from Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers when Green Bay got off to a rough start. You can watch a live game stream here. But, as ESPN reported, the Seattle Seahawks will be facing a different Green Bay Packers this time around. The Bears consequently rushed for 189 yards in Sunday’s loss, the second most in the National Football League through week one.
