Last week the Packers finished off their 2014 preseason with
a solid win over the Kansas City Chiefs at Lambeau Field. The Packers finished
the preseason 3-1, but the record means nothing in August. Now, all the games
count. The Packers will begin the 2014 season on the road in Seattle , and looking at their schedule at
this moment, this is their toughest game of the entire season.
The Packers spent the entire offseason preparing J.C.
Tretter to be the starting center. However, Tretter got injured against the
Rams and has been placed on injured reserve with designation to return so now
rookie Corey Linsley steps into the role. The Packers have faith in Linsley,
but his lack of preparation and lack of experience may get the better of him in
this game. If he falters, the Packers have practiced with Josh Sitton and T.J. Land
The running backs look ready to go. In each of his two
preseason appearances, Eddie Lacy played the first possession of each game and
dragged the Packers offense down the field to a touchdown. James Starks and
Dejaun Harris also had great preseasons. If the Packers are going to win this
game, these three are going to need to come up big.
The new look defense looked awesome in the preseason for the
Packers. Julius Peppers has been good and Jayrone Elliot has been a gold mine.
Expect Dom Capers to change out personnel to give the Seahawks different looks.
The rumor though is that Capers has something up his sleeve for Seattle tonight. The
Packers had a lot of closed practices during training camp and the rumors are
that they were preparing something special for Seattle .
At the end of the day we believe this is going to be a close
game, very close.
Final score, 24-20 Seattle. (We're sorry Packers fans.)
