Seattle should be favoured next week but it should be a good game!

[PeteLFan]

Yeah Seattle is going to steam roll the horrendous defence. Seattle has a running back for a qb who will run all over the field

Nice win and they have done more this year already than i thought they could. Win or lose next week its a been a successful year. Really proud of the group.

[KelVarnsen]

Haha stupid cowboys!

[DOOM]

Yes!

Go Packers Go!

[dirk diggler]

Seattle will score 31 points at least on that soft GB defense.... cant see Rodgers as great as he is scoring that many against Seattle.... Wilson should be ecstatic, the Cowboys would have been a tougher test for the Seahawks

[Flabbibulin]

Well, dallas made it here on a controversial call.. Will leave on one as well.

Im guessing it will be 6 1/2 at least....as it should.

[dirk diggler]

Give Dallas credit, they were not the old cowboys this year. they found ways to win this year not lose... Romo gets a lot of heat but he is a top 5 QB, played through some tough injuries

[Erick Estrada]

It's a shame the Packers can't seem to build a shut down defense. More than not it's always on Rogers shoulders to win games as their defense gets torched by good offenses at times. I think the Packers will be able to put up points on the Hawks next week but their defense will likely allow more.

Capers seems to be looked upon as a defensive guru and Ted Thompson a great GM, but this is a team that relies on 1 player more than any in the league... without Rodgers, they are as bad as the Bears. there defense will give up over 200 yards rushing next week.... SOFT.

Good explanation by Mike Pereira on the catch after the game.

They won some games last year without Rogers but yes Thompson has nailed a lot of picks on the offensive side of the ball but they haven't done a great job of finding top defensive players.

Probably the greatest challenge in NFL history considering it won the game for Green Bay (Snow Game was an under 2 minute booth review).

[M*A*S*H 4077]

I think everyone can agree that the NFL should at a minimum look at revising some of their rules. If fans, media, and players all disagree on what is a catch by the rules, perhaps the rules should be fixed

I don't cheer for any team so I feel bad for Dallas. That's a ridiculous rule. If stretching for the goal line isn't a "football move", then I don't know what is.

The NFL is micro-managing the definition of a "catch". If the ball doesn't touch the ground, it should be ruled a catch. Period.

[MillerTime GFG]

I guess we can take our tinfoil hats off (Senator Clay Davis). That was a catch.

No. It wasn't.

They aren't upper echelon on D but they aren't THAT bad either. Middle of the road in most categories (pts allowed, yds per game, etc). Where they do seem to suffer at times is getting off the field at critical times....giving up 3rd down conversions and such....and against the rush where they can be really weak at times though they did get better towards the end of the season. Also tackling has been an issue all season and its why Seattle should clobber them next week as well.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Hey I said it wouldn't get overturned. Rule is the rule though so in this case it's a bad rule and not a bad call. Bill Simmons got it though
