"We want the ball and we're gonna SCORE!" :laugh:
I bet we won't hear that again if the game goes to OT.
I think Seattle has a shot here. Their defense is exactly the kind of defense that frustrates Favre. They have really strong cover guys and a great pass rush. If they can get Favre running things could get interesting.

Holmgren should have a pretty good idea how the Pack is going to play and what most of their formations are...Granted, it's been a couple of years since he was their coach, but some things should still be the same...
(Kind of like Super Bowl 37 when Jon Gruden, who was fired by Al Davis the previous year, took the Tampa Bucs to the Super Bowl and beat the Raiders! I really thought THAT ironing was delicious

Holmgren knows nothing, he hasn't been there for six or seven years. If you're a Seattle or Green Bay fan, you're a dumbass. . . if not I forgive you.

How does being a Seattle or GB fan make me a dumb ass? Fuck you.
I DID say he had been gone from GB for a couple of years...he left Green Bay after the 98 season...actually almost 10 years ago, (IMO, still only a "couple" of years ago in the general sense of the term) but still...Holmgren should still have a pretty good idea of what to expect from the GB players...not only as their former coach, but as a dammed good head coach.
Were you born an asshole or do you have to work at it?

That'd be a dream come true. :thumbsup:
I'm afraid, however, that they'll blow it at home next week.

Calm down there sparky, I meant you're a dumbass if you're a Green Bay or Seattle fan and you thought Holmgren left "a couple of years" ago. And just admit you were wrong, who the hell uses the term "a couple" to describe "ten"? Nobody. That's even beyond the use of "a few," although you could have at least at a chance at arguing that one. A couple means two.
And after 10 years, he will know nothing. In this case, you're a dumbass if you're a football fan and actually believe this.

Nah, I don't think so...he may not know every individual play they have in their playbook, but Holmgren is smarter than you apparently give him credit for. He probably still has old GB playbooks that he uses to help study for games against them. Does that mean they will beat Green Bay? Nope, especially not if they play like they did yesterday.
You didn't answer my last question...
You didn't answer my last question...
That's a tough one to answer.. I mean I had to work at it, to improve, but is my desire to work at it something innate? Is my talent? I'm not sure. I mean Michael Jordan was born gifted but he still had to lean to dribble, so I suppose the answer to your question is a little bit of both.

I am sure you know this, but Matt only said that because he was in the company of friends. He was quite chummy with most of the GB players then, as he stated afterwards.
As for the game, well GB will have their hands full, but if my Seachickens had to lose to someone, I would rather it be GB. However, I would be so farkin happy to see the Giants and Hawks win to create a NFC championship in Seattle. I will be back the day before so I could make it to the game. Ohh to dream...
Oh yea, GO HAWKS!!!!!!!!!

Should be a close game because Favre aside GB is not as good as they appear based on win/loss records plus they have no consistant running attack ... I'm going to go with Seattle in a tight one, but it could easily go the other way.
My prediction: Seattle 27 - Green Bay 24

Good thing no one cares what a dipshit like you thinks.
