That probably benefits Seattle far more than GB considering they are used to it by now. Plus GB relies on passing more than Seattle so this will limit Rodgers somewhat. We already know that Rodgers isn't going to beat us with his feet this weekend so anything that hampers his passing ability is good news for us.

Slippery balls. I am sure they are stressing ball security this week in practice as well as sure tackling which can be an issue in the rain.

Rain does not help a passing game.we here are used to the rain so i see it as a benefit.

Normal rain doesn't really effect the game that much. Rodgers arm is uber strong, the receivers wear gloves that do most of the work for them.

But the wind, wind is where things can get interesting, and obviously if it starts to pour.

Remember last years playoff game vs New Orleans. The weather that game was crazy. it really changed the game a lot in the first half.

Apparently Rodgers said that his calf is even worse than last week,what a guy to say so,if he loses "he was not at full strength" if he wins "What a stud".

Not sure where you read that would be nice to see a link because updates over this way he said right away on Monday morning that his calf felt better on Monday than it had the day after the Detroit game.

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Aaron Rodgers said his strained left calf felt 'a little bit worse' after Sunday’s playoff win over the Dallas Cowboys, but it was a whole lot better on Monday than it was the day after the Green Bay Packers quarterback re-injured it in the regular-season finale two weeks ago.And with just six more days until Sunday's NFC Championship Game at the Seattle Seahawks, that's an encouraging sign for the Packers given that he had two weeks between the Week 17 game against the Detroit Lions and the playoff opener against the Cowboys.

Oh and the updated weather is now predicting 40% chance of rain at the start of the game and no rain half way through

After the Dallas game his calf felt worse than at the start of the game. But when comparing his calf after the Dallas game to how it felt after the Lions game he said it is much better than after Cowboy game than after the Lions game.

This should make you feel better with the 99% chance of losing he will not be able to make quite as big of an excuse

Meh I dont buy the calf injury at this point. It will be shot up and he wont feel a thing. Sure he didn't do a RW type scramble, but he has every bit of strength in his arm, and he was plenty accurate v dallas. Gonna take a big boy effort by the lob to stop him.
