Louis in a 2002 embarrassment? Plus those home losses in 2003 (Falcons) and 2005 (Vikings)?Yet that ‘97 win is all that people remember.And no, there will be no New England-Green Bay rematch this year.Prediction: Seattle 30, Green Bay 27, with Favre throwing three picks.
Seattle’s defense, which looked good against Washington last week, is going to force Favre into more of those classic playoff INTs.Favre continues to get all the love from the media, despite the Packers’ having no postseason success since the QB’s lone Super Bowl win against the Patriots in 1997.Don’t all those subsequent playoff losses mean anything?Six INTs in St. Outside of Favre, the Packers are a young, inexperienced team.I’d go with Seattle in a nail-biter, with the game being decided on a last-second field goal. There’s talk of coach Mike Holmgren stepping aside if the ‘Hawks don’t get it done this year and how many more years does Shaun Alexander have to get his Super Bowl ring?Obviously, Seattle has something to play for here. This could be the Seahawks’ final hurrah, and they should come out hungry.
The score was 24-zip by the time Favre found the end zone.The Vikings, an 8-8 outfit who had already lost twice to the Pack in the regular season, knocked off Green Bay at Lambeau in 2005, despite the controversy surrounding then-receiver Randy Moss and his mooning incident.By the way Favre threw four picks in that one.Even the Seahawks took the Pack to overtime four years ago before Matt Hasselbeck’s interception cost Seattle the game.Seattle, meanwhile, has more playoff experience. Seriously what Lambeau mystique and Favre magic is everyone talking about?Favre couldn’t beat the Falcons five years ago when former stud Michael Vick led Atlanta into Lambeau and won impressively. the red-hot Redskins, when their defense came up big.And have the Packers really played that great themselves?Don’t forget that soft schedule they got to play the Rams (3-13), the Raiders (4-12), and and Chiefs (4-12)…and had to get a late rally in the fourth quarter just to pull one out against KC.They also twice played the lowly Lions, who allowed a league-high 27.75 points per game (yes, worse than the 1-15 Dolphins) and the Panthers (7-9) and Broncos (7-9) too.Then there’s the recent playoff past for Brett Favre and Co at Lambeau Field. Louis when the Rams botched their final scoring drive comes to mind).But the ‘Hawks won when they had to, including a huge win against the Cardinals in Week 14, and another in the Wild Card round vs. And yes, they had some lucky bounces go their way (the finish against St. Talk about overrated.All the experts on ESPN chose Green Bay to knock off the Seattle Seahawks in Saturday’s NFC divisional tilt at Lambeau Field.Regardless of what happens Saturday, I don’t understand why everyone is on the Packers’ bandwagon.True, the 10-6 Seahawks haven’t looked great, and play in the weak NFC West.

Frank Gore San Francisco 49ersGore has put together two straight “down years” of 1,000-yards rushing, and arguably so, simply because of his remarkable talent.The 49ers are once again determined to run the ball, and if the offense around him can develop some consistency, he could get back to his 2006 numbers.Gore is too talented to put up mediocre stats for three straight seasons.6. An additional year to develop would’ve helped tremendously, but I can’t blame him for chasing the dollar signs.Mullens has great athleticism for a seven-footer (a white boy at that), and could potentially be a superstar. That season, the Falcons’ offense was led by TJ Duckett and Warrick Dunn, and Vick was used mostly on play action roll outs and designed runs.The Vikings already have one of the better running backs in the league in Adrian Peterson and are the proud owners of a tight end, Visanthe Visancoe, in the mold of Vick’s former favorite target, Alge Crumpler.Assuming Favre doesn’t decide to return again, and arguably even if he does, Vick would be the most talented quarterback on the roster.
Although I rooted for him, I just never took a great liking to him. Maybe it was because he replaced Kevin Greene. Will he? Won’t he?
