2014 NFL KICKOFF

WILSON, SEAHAWKS kick off Super Bowl defense against RODGERS, PACKERS


WEEK ONE PREVIEW

Green Bay Packers(0-0) VS Seattle Seahawks(0-0)

September 4,2014

Seattle,WA

SEATTLE- The last time the Green Bay Packers traveled to the Pacific Northwest injustice happened. The Seahawks won the game 14-12 in what is known as the infamous failmary. But that was two years ago, tonight these two teams are set to kick off the 2014 season as Seattle hangs their first World Championship banner in front of the 12's.

"We had a special year last year." Head Coach Pete Carroll stated. "Great group of guys in this locker room are hungry to do it again."

But that was last year. It's a brand new season and the Packers are just as hungry as the rest of the league.

"They had a phenomenal year last year. Give that team credit, give that coaching staff credit. " Packers Head Coach Mike McCarthy stated. "It's going to be a tough challenge for us in a place like that. We have to play smart football."

Packers Quarterback Aaron Rodgers is looking forward to the task ahead.

"I know exactly how they feel. Winning the Super Bowl and witness the banner being hung. It's exciting." Rodgers said.

Despite the bad taste left in the people's mouths after that 2012 game, many are calling this a "Grudge Match". Some are laughing it off, other's are vocal about it.

But tonight, it's going to be a more physical challenge as the Packers must face the Seattle Super Bowl winning Defense.

Russell Wilson will have plenty of help as Seattle looks to defend their crown. Percy Harvin, Jermaine Kearse, Doug Baldwin, Sidney Rice will be his targets. Let's also not forget the best Running back in football Beast Mode. But that's just the offense, the real superstars of this Seattle team is that Legion of Boom Defense. Richard Sherman, Kam Chancellor, Earl Thomas III, Byron Maxwell will look to cause the Packers offense fits. But we can't over look the front seven Seattle has this season. Michael Bennett, Cliff Avril will lead the rush while Brandon MeBane, Malcolm Smith, Bobby Wagner, and Bruce Irvin will be right behind them.

"They have a very good defense over there. We need to take chances against them but also be very careful." Packers Aaron Rodgers stated.

For Aaron Rodgers, his Packers will take the field with second year back Eddie Lacy, James Starks while his targets will rely on Jordy Nelson, Randall Cobb, rookie Davante Adams and first year man, Tight End Colt Lyerla who won the job in Preseason.

SEATTLE,WA- It was a epic game to kick off the 2014 season as the defending Super Bowl Champions Seattle Seahawks(1-0) defeated the Green Bay Packers(0-1). However Seattle picked up the win in a fashion that they are not accustomed too. It wasn't the defense, it was a Russell Wilson game winning Drive as time expired that sent Seattle in to the win column as Steven Hauschka's 29 yarder gave the defending champs their first win of the season.
However the Seahawks and Packers both struggled on the defense side of the ball. That's uncommon for the LoB which propelled the Seahawks their first Lombardi Trophy in Franchise History just 9 months prior. The Packers racked up over 400 yards of total Offense (419) as Aaron Rodgers despite completing 45% of his passes racked up 253 yards and 4 TD's against the Seahawks defense. They did however pick off 12 twice.

"We knew coming in it would be a tough game for us on offense. They have a really good defense over there. We knew we had to take chances to give us a shot." Packers Quarterback Aaron Rodgers stated.

"It's a tough place to play in. Great football team over there. I knew we're going to have to take chances and adapt as the game went on. Seattle deserves credit." Packers Head Coach Mike McCarthy stated.

"Not very happy with how we played as a unit. We won the game though but we have work to do tomorrow as a defense." Seahawks Cornerback Richard Sherman stated.

"It was a hard fought win for us but Green Bay has a lot of playmakers over there. That was a hard game for us and it came down to the wire for sure. " Seahawks Head Coach Pete Carroll stated.

The Seahawks will look to take the momentum on the road as they head to San Diego as the Packers will open their first game at home against the Jets.
