Cowboys or Packers - who would you rather face?

[droider]

Been thinking about this all week but still undecided. I would say Cowboys if Rogers didn't have the lingering calf issue, but that's a huge factor that limits his mobility.

These two teams are very even across the board, thus it's very hard to find the edge. Of course, we already beat the Packers but lost to the Cowboys this year.

My gut says it'd probably be harder to beat the Packers twice, rather than the Cowboys once.. but that's merely a trend angle.

Running game = Dallas (slight)

Passing game = Packers (slight due to Rogers' health)

OL = Dallas (slight)

DL = Dallas

LB's and Secondary = Packers

ST's = even

Coaching = Packers (slight)

Intangibles = Packers?

Road performance = Dallas (big)

Seahawks are built to beat teams like the Packers. Hoping they beat the Cowboys, but I like the Seahawks regardless.

Definitely would rather face the Packers. Cowboys match up better. Best O-Line in the league along with Murray and Dez is tough to stop. Plus, I'm not sure how healthy Rodgers really is.

I really hope they stick Sherman on Dez all game if they do end up playing the Cowboys. I don't think Maxwell or Simon can handle him all game.

We need Maxwell back regardless of opponent, Simon was just getting abused out there.

Yeah Simon was getting abused, but that not the norm for him.

Cowboys

Funny that i am saying this after my posts on how they got handed the game against Detroit right? well they did but i would still rather face the Cowboys. The Hawks Defense is more than a little pissed off that they let Dallas beat them in Century Link earlier this season. They would be out to put some hurt on the boys.

Yes he was rusty that was for sure. Not a normal game for Simon so i don't sweat it much.

Agree that we are built to have an easier time with the Packers. At the same time the Cowboys beating us earlier could garner that extra motivating factor. But yea either way I would like our chances.

Yea I wouldnt worry to much about it. Let's give credit to Benjamin as well. He is a stud and I think will continue to prove it in the future.

The potential revenge factor has me leaning towards a Cowboys rematch. I think the Seahawks players would like the chance to prove that the first Cowboys game was a fluke. From a fan's perspective, a rematch with the Cowboys would prevent people from suggesting that the Seahawks had the easiest path to the Super Bowl (as if they have control over that) by first beating a Carolina team that finished under .500 in the regular season (and that beat an Arizona team with no offense and a defense that ran out of gas from trying to prop up the offense) and then beating a Packers team with a gimpy quarterback, both at home.

He would, and they would go right after him over and over.... Sounds like Max just had the flu, so he should be back...

Doesn't matter much to me. Both teams will be tough to beat. That said, I believe Seattle will beat either if they play their game for 60 minutes. Looking forward to the game tomorrow though. It should be a good one.

I don't know how eager I would have been to watch the Sunday games if the Seahawks had lost. I probably still would have watched them, but enjoying them would have been an entirely different matter. I'm looking forward to them now.

Don't care. Bring 'em on!

Cowboys of all the losts we had of the last 2 years for whatever reason that loss to them at home in the regular season left the worst taste in my mouth cowboy fans were coming out of the woodwork acting like they won the superbowl

I'd rather see the Cowboys. Just for the simple fact of Aaron Rodgers, I still don't believe Romo is clutch enough to win here in a NFCCG. Stop the run, best you can, and put Sherman on Dez and I think we will be fine.

Revenge against the Cowboys would be great but I don't see them beating GB. They didn't play well at all and the refs carried them at the end against GB because the whole lame "Ice Bowl 2" crap is a lot easier to market than a rematch against Detroit. Unless they solved a lot of issues in practice this week they're going to get creamed up there.

 

[JMR]

I'm with the revenge crowd. Bring on Dallas.

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

Don't care. Whoever we play we'll beat by at least 2 touchdowns!

Rematch against Detroit???? Whaaaaat?!?!?! Detroit would have came to Seattle and The Pack would have got the Panthers. But Yeah a Dallas/GB match-up in Lambo would draw better than a GB/Panthers and it markets better.
