The Packers totally destroyed the Seahawks at Lambeau Field yesterday.  Aaron Rodgers had a short day completing 12 of 23 passes for 237 yards with 1 TD pass and 0 INTs.  He also carried the ball 1 time for 9 yards.  Matt Flynn got in on the action for the Packers yesterday by completing 4 of 6 passes for 36 yards as he finished up the game.  Ryan Grant played very well yesterday before taking a seat as he carried the ball 16 times for 97 yards (6.1 ypc) with 2 TD runs.  Ahman Green pitched in with 29 yards rushing on 8 carries (3.6 ypc) with a TD carry.  Brandon Jackson was very inspired when he got into the football game as he carried the ball 5 times for 20 yards (4.0 ypc) with 2 TD runs.  He also caught 3 passes for 19 yards (6.3 avg) with a TD grab.  Greg Jennings led the way for the Packers in the passing game yesterday with 4 grabs for 111 yards (27.8 avg).  Jermichael Finley pitched in with 3 grabs for 80 yards (26.7 avg) in this game.  The Packers finished up with 417 total yards on offense (153 rushing, 264 passing) in this game.

The defense was also outstanding for the Packers yesterday.  Linebacker Nick Barnett led the way for the Packers on D yesterday with 9 tackles, 1 tackle for a loss, 1 sack and 1 QB hit.  Safety Atari Bigby was also a game changing playmaker yesterday as he finished with 7 tackles, 3 passes defensed and 2 interceptions.  A.J. Hawk pitched in with 6 tackles, 1 pass defensed and 1 interception.   The Seahawks finished up with 291 total yards on offense (115 rushing, 176 passing) in this game.  The Packers are now 10-5 on the year and they have clinched a wildcard spot in the NFC.

26-year old safety Nick Collins has been outstanding this season for the Packers.  He has played in 14 games for the Packers this season and he has made 47 tackles, 2 tackles for a loss, 1 sack, defensed 12 passes and he has 6 interceptions.  The Packers really have benefitted from the big plays that the secondary has made this season and Collins has been a big part of that.

With the Packers turning into a amazing passing team Ryan Grant has done a solid job of giving the offense some ground support.  He has played in 14 games for the Packers this season and he has carried the ball 255 times for 1,105 yards (4.3 ypc) with 8 TD runs.  Grant has also caught 25 passes for 197 yards (7.9 avg) this season.  The 27-year old Grant has really made the front office happy that they stuck with him after his sub par 2008 season.

The Packers are going to come out angry this week as they should have beaten the Steelers.  Aaron Rodgers will likely torture the Seahawks this weekend as they are allowing 249.4 yards passing per game and opposing QBs have a 94.8 rating against them.  Rodgers will move the ball around using all of his receivers this week and the Seahawks will have no answer for that.  Ryan Grant should also have a big game for the Packers when they turn to him to help run out the clock.

The Packers need to get after Matt Hasselbeck early and often in this football game.  As soon as he sees he is going to have a long day he will be putting the ball up for grabs quite a bit.  The Seahawks don’t have much of a running game for the Packers to have to worry about.

PREDICTION:  PACKERS 34, SEAHAWKS 13

The Packers’ D blew this game as the Steelers won on the last play of the game!  You can’t blame the offense for this game as they shredded the allegedly good Steelers’ D.  Aaron Rodgers completed 26 of 48 passes for 383 yards with 3 TD passes and 0 INTs.  He also carried the ball 3 times for 22 yards (7.3 ypc) with a TD run.  Ryan Grant didn’t get much of a chance to run the ball in this game as he finished with 8 carries for 37 yards (4.6 ypc) with 1 TD run.  Greg Jennings (5 rec, 118 yards, TD) and Jermichael Finley (9 rec, 74 yards, TD) led the way in the passing game for the Packers yesterday.  Donald Driver (3 rec, 76 yards), Jordy Nelson (4 rec, 71 yards) and James Jones (2 rec, 36 yards, TD) led the way in the passing game for the Packers yesterday.  The Packers finished up with 436 total yards on offense (60 rushing, 376 passing) despite only having the ball for 24:38!

The defense didn’t play well overall but they did have some standouts.  Rookie linebackers Clay Matthews (7 tackles, 2 sacks, 3 tackles for a loss, 3 QB hits) and Brad Jones (5 tackles, 2 sacks, 3 tackles for a loss, 2 QB hits) led the way for the Packers’ D.  The Steelers finished up with 537 total yards in this game (65 rushing, 472 passing) yesterday.  The Packers are now 9-5 on the year.
