sloppyjoefeed Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Seahawks. The Packers are not your traditional 13-3 team. They have a ton of holes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nozizaki Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 I've gone back and forth on this and I'm finally on the Seahawks. Too many signs point to them: better QB, their coach has playoff and SB experience, and perhaps most importantly, the Packers have struggled against deep passing, where Russell Wilson has been deadly. Green Bay on the season has given up the 5th most attempts (70), 3rd most completions (30), the 6th highest completion percentage (42.9%), 3rd most passing yards (1,081) and 10th most TDs (6) on throws of 20+ air yards. Wilson tossed the 5th most throws (71), had the 3rd most completions (30), 7th best completion percentage (42.3%), 3rd most yards (1,059) and 10th most TDs (6) on throws of 20+ air yards. To me, that shows Wilson will be able to get his passing deep and in a game that should be so close, I think that will let Seattle eek out a win.

That's probably debatable, but I still think Aaron Rodgers is better than Russell Wilson. Both are great players, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both are great players, though. I don't think it's debatable this year. Wilson has 8.8 adjusted yards per attempt, Rodgers is at 7.6. Wilson has thrown for 8.0 yards per atttempt, Rodgers is at 7.0. Wilson threw 5 more TDs (31 vs 26) on 53 less pass attempts (513 vs 569). Wilson also ran for 342 yards and 3 TDs, compared to just 183 yards and 1 TD on 43 attempts from Rodgers. 2010 was nine years ago, Wilson is the better QB this year.

GB has the better run game, better defense. It doesn't help that Seattles entire offensive line is out/limited in practice. Just does not bode well for this type of game. Just the thought of a busted broken Joey Hunt trying to block Kenny Clark is giving me PrePTSD. Did everyone see what Fletcher Cox did last week? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheesehawk Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Think we are gonna get a nice showcase from the Packers rookie class in this one. Expect Savage to make a few crucial plays on the backend, Jenkins will hold it down up front as he typically does, and I think we are gonna see some pressure coming from Rashan Gary. Excited for this one. Just hope the team isnt overlooking the Seahawks. This is the best I have felt about a Packers playoff game in a long time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at DVOA, not bulk stats. Also, you don't recall the ranks of any 13-3 teams in recent memory without looking them up 🙃 Also, as I pointed out earlier, GB has dominated their opposition more than these stats let on, as evidenced by the 538 article I posted.

Shanedorf Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 from pff After finishing with PFF’s 24th-ranked defense in 2018, the Packers sit at 8th through the regular season in 2019. More importantly, their team coverage grade went from 69.6, 26th in the NFL, to 88.0, which ranked 7th. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
