In the mean time, let's hope that worst defense in the league can run over Favre.

Go Hawks.  Get the ball and score, alot

++ The Hawks stow the pass rush in the overhead compartment. D overwhelms their line. Offense is efficient. The Pack can't stop Seattle's 3 and 4 wide receiver sets. The rushing attack is seldom but explosive, Morris + Weaver + Alexander record 150+ rush/receiving yards. The Hawks early lead snowballs, Favre can't set up, and the deep game is shutdown. Grant is mostly shutdown by the second half, but when he rushes Seattle turns it into a run sack. A heroic Favre makes terrible decisions, helps turn a small lead into a pick filled rout. Hawks win by two touchdowns+. Telling stat: Seahawks safeties combine for 2 or more interceptions.

+ Hawks provide decent pressure. Seattle is inexplosive but methodical through the air. The Packers rush game is stifled, but not shutdown. The Hawks mix up the carries enough to provide a compliment to the passing attack, but it isn't terribly productive in of itself. The Pack's deep passing game is kept in check/shutdown, but Seattle (Babs) allows long first down conversions. Slow game, dogfight, one team wins in the end by a late field goal/touchdown, OR one preserves a field goal/late touchdown lead for the victory. Telling Stat: Matt Hasselbeck 300+ yards.

0 Hawks provide some pressure. Favre finds open men, men downfield. Green Bay can open the playbook. Grant is contained, but breaks some long runs. Hasselbeck is solid, but hurried and makes mistakes. Alexander is run into the pile, averages 3 or fewer YPC. The Hawks cover corners and front seven force the Packers into punts, but also allow long completions/long runs. Seattle is playing close, but from behind for most of the contest. The Hawks make it a game, but never pose much of a threat in the fourth. Packers win close, but commandingly. Telling Stat: Beck Int + Alexander fumbles = 2+

- Hawks provide very inconsistent pressure, are forced to blitz. Favre finds open me, men downfield. The Hawks rushing attack is completely bottled up. Holmgren abandons it midway through the second quarter. Multiple passing attempts + little chance of Seattle rushing = sacks and forced throws. The Packers stake a 13+ point lead in the second half, begin to ride the run, Grant breaks 2 or more very long runs, has a very good YPC despite being stopped for most of the contest. Seattle puts up points and yards, but are very turnover prone. The game gets out of hand for the Hawks - miserable 4th quarter. Telling Stat: < 50 rushing yards.

- - Packers attack, sack and dance all over Seattle's offense. A demoralized defense allows big plays on broken plays. Brett Favre grins like he's drinkin the sizzurp. Pack roll to some obscene, one sided victory. Tellings Stats: Floyd Womack, any snaps, Seneca Wallace, any snaps, Alexander, 2+ fumbles.

In any of these you can add in some fireworks by Nate Burleson, but only in the "+" scenario do I think it could be decisive.
