SO CLOSE: For a team that just fell to 0-2 to start the season, the Seahawks sounded relatively upbeat.

Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, the reigning NFL Most Valuable Player, echoed that view, shying away from the idea that it could be a season-defining contest.
As for betting trends, we see a good bet on the OVER, per OddsShark. Marshawn Lynch is absolutely incredible!
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. After all, he already had over 70 yards on just 17 carries, so it’s not like he was having a bad day.
“They’re a heck of a front”. Lynch got dumped behind the line and the game ended without Wilson running the read option himself. “That’s about as far as it goes with us”. Your identity as a team is formed throughout the year.
“We’ve got to bounce and come on back … and face an awesome opponent up there”, Seattle coach Pete Carroll said. Every one’s important, especially with a conference opponent who is a talented team.
Last weekend was All-Pro free safety Earl Thomas’ first game of any kind since the Super Bowl February 1 and surgery February 24 to fix his separated shoulder and torn labrum. That’s why other teams have been ringing Seattle’s phone off the hook this offseason trying to work trades for him while he’s holding out. Aaron Rodgers will test the ‘Hawks secondary early and often after they gave up 297 yards through the air. “It’s what he loves to do”. His grandfather bought the family those symbolic shares when Drew was a kid.“I have three shares in frames, in fact”, Nowak said this week, one for each time the Packers have sold stock to fans.”When you drive down “The Ledge” (from his house) you can actually see Lambeau Field in the distance”. That might add a little extra motivation to play your best to protect your assets. Last season, the Green Bay Packers secluded Seahawks CB Richard Sherman by not throwing once in his direction.
But this game is in Lambeau Field, after three straight in Seattle. “The more and more reps you get, the better you feel”.
At least he used “we” when talking about the Seahawks instead of the Packers in that last sentence. “But I think Mike’s going to be fine”. There was only one problem.
“He’s coming off an injury”, McCarthy said. “He needs to come back in. Then they showed the picture on the [scoreboard]”. But he lamented the disappointing fourth quarter.
In Week 1, the Packers garnered 189 yards in passing and 133 yards in rushing. The running back battle between Beast Mode and Eddie Lacy will be exciting to watch. With Starks in that role, he had to abdicate his special-teams responsibilities.
Assuming the line for tonight’s game doesn’t change much between now and kickoff, that will be the largest spread against Seattle in any game since being a 7.5-point underdog at San Francisco in the seventh game of the 2012 season. “This is a big challenge for our offense”. “That’s what I’m talking about”.

“I love playing with that guy. Until the last five minutes, we played as well as we had the whole season”, Capers said of last January’s game.
