Green Bay can run on Seattle but we couldn't!!

Sean"Big Hurt"Taylor · 01-12-2008, 07:24 PM

This game has made me sick to my stomach. We could not give Portis no room to run nor protect Collins and Green Bay is making it look easy. We have to really work on our o-line first and foremost. Ryan Grant is making Seatte's run defense seem like the worst in the league.

Different game, different conditions. Seattle's been a bad road team all year. Don't forget that Brett Favre is about a thousand times as mobile as TC.

Weather's got a lot to do with it also.

This is true, the Seahawks D are not "mudders." The snow & field conditions were a real handicap for the style of D we play and the smaller guys we have. If the field was clear (or if the game was at Qwest) you would not have seen a blowout and 200+ yards from Grant. Not saying we would have won for sure, but the weather was a big problem.

Yeah, I am sick to see how much better their o-line is. I was so high in Heyer, but in the end he looked like a rookie who was never even drafted out of college. I hope he works extremely hard this off season.

I think the problem is a lot of people forgot that Heyer was an undrafted rookie playing an away playoff game lined up against one of the DEs in the league. He got outplayed, no question. But we need to temper our expectations of him.

I thought we could go to the super bowl but after watching seattle no way
We have a lot of needed players to move up a level
Home field without noise makes coming of the ball a big help for blocking
Wish the next coach well but has his hands full

Thank you. I like Heyer, but it was a little unrealistic for people to start talking about him replacing Jansen.

No. There is no excuse. A nobody can run on them but a former ROY can't?
Ridiculous

Are you serious? So playing in Lambeau in the middle of winter is exactly the same as playing in your own climate controlled dome? Green Bay is basically magical in Lambeau in the playoffs, and I've always maintained that Seattle is the complete opposite of smashmouth. That fact, combined with the weather is what killed the Seahawks today.

SFREDSKIN · 01-12-2008, 07:42 PM

If we played in those weather conditions we would have won also.

Seattle actually doesnt play in a dome and they usually have poor weather

Yeah, I don't know who I was thinking about with the dome, but they're still a finesse team. And Hasselbeck is a whiner...

It was not Heyer, but a combination of Heyer, Fabini, and the lack of O production in the first half of our game B&G vs. da-haux.

GB has all players on their O-line, and the S N O W! It's like another man making you slow down a step on the D side.

HOF Coach Gibbs found out afterward that you have a limited number of chances with the ball during the game. I feel it was lost in the first half.

he's been the 2nd best RB since he became the starter this year only behind LT so he actually is a really good Running back
