NFC Championship: (1) Seattle Seahawks vs. (2) Green Bay Packers

Re: NFC Championship: (1) Seattle Seahawks vs. (2) Green Bay Packers

I'm mildly surprised by the tone of Packers fans here. Thought they would still believe in their team after that emotional win over Dallas. Let's not forget, the Cowboys beat Seattle this year. Now that was before they got hot, but let's not act like Dallas was a pushover. Any win in the playoffs is against a good team. 16 games weeds out the weaklings.

I won't go as far as to say that Wilson is just an average QB with a great defense, but it certainly helps to be backed up by those guys. Allows you to do some things you might not do if you know your defense won't hold. It will be interesting to see Wilson's trajectory in the next 5 years. It will be hard to top what he and his team have done. Natural regression, right?

I'm also big on Lacy running and running often, even with Starks. Those are guys who are going to give SEA a taste of their own medicine (both on a physical level against the defense, and of course in reference to the power running of Lynch).

It's absolutely an uphill battle for the Packers. I think the Seahawks might be a legitimate all-time great defense and subsequently team. Should be a great game for the NFC title. Looking forward to it.

I'm a Green Bay fan in Seattle and I'm just as surprised at Seahawk fans tone. Local radio guys saying Carolina had them more concerned than Green Bay does. They keep referring to the week one match up where Green Bay started a rookie center, rookie Safety and had Clay Matthews locked in at olb. Not to mention the game plan to only use half the field was terrible. 16 games later things have changed a bit.

I do believe Seattle will win, but Oakland gave them a game here. I don't Green Bay is going to roll over and hand them a trip to Arizona that easily.

Max Unger will practice today. Byron Maxwell should be fine. #Seahawks

I do like Tharold Simon, but he was getting worked against Carolina.

I want Seattle to win and they may be the team I want to win it all. Should be a good one.

What a game by Rodgers against Dallas, but at Seattle with Rodgers less than 100%? Davante Adams had a huge game last week, even better than the stats indicated. I think he'll have to be a factor this week if Green Bay is to pull this off.

I think he will. I think this post season is his coming out party and a hard stiff arm out the door for Cobb.

With that said, Nelson needs to show up. I think all 3 WRs need to contribute for them to pull this off. If Rodgers throws another bomb on the money that Nelson doesn't bring in, it may be the deciding play this time.

The Packers come on the field with 49ers uniforms and beat down Seattle and everyone cries and Richard Sherman 2014 never happened

You think Cobb is on his way out? I love his game. Adams has been sensational as a rookie but has had some drop issues, hasn't he? I wouldn't cut bait just yet, but I don't know the financial situation there. Haven't forgotten the first time I saw Cobb touch the rock in the NFL.

Not getting too crazy, Pack, lol. Adams still can't hold Cobb's jock strap. But Cobb is going to want to get paid (rightfully so), and the better Adams looks, the less likely GB will be willing to pay him what he wants.

I think Cobb is going to chase $$$ and really don't blame him. He should get a nice pay day.

They're going to pay Cobb whatever they need to.

He's a different kind of guy than, let's say James Jones or Greg Jennings. He's way more important to this offense than either of those two were. And there's nobody else like him on the roster. Adams is nice and looks like a potential star, but he's not the same type of guy Cobb is. Cobb is way more versatile. I think they'll pay him.

Also he's 24 this is a completely different situation than the others imo.

here is the cap situation: http://overthecap.com/salary-cap-space

I agree when comparing to those two, but do you think they value him more than Nelson? They aren't going to go in with a plan to pay all 3 of these WRs. I don't think any team would, and the Packers specifically.

And don't get me wrong, I love Cobb and agree with his versatility and all. I just can't wrap my head around how they make it all work.

I think they make it work or come asking around Mr. Rodgers and Mr. Matthews neighborhood.

They don't need to worry about Adams for another few years. The talent level drops off from Cobb on down.

Rodgers isn't getting any younger, either.

They don't have to pay all of them. Adams is on year 1 of a very cheap rookie contract. Nelson just got extended. You extend Cobb now and by the time Adams is up for extension both Jordy and Cobb contracts are up again and who knows what the roster looks like at that point.

The same way we made it work while paying Driver and Jennings and Jordy and James.

Not to mention, we don't let players that we drafted high(1st/2nd round)walk just willingly unless they've proved they cannot contribute or make an impact for us and Thompson usually gives them all the time they need and then some before making that decision. So yeah, Cobb ain't going anywhere next year or the year after.
