It's damn near blasphemous to make a statement like that. But Rawls definitely has a bit of beast mode in his game, that toughness and physical style of running. He's probably faster than Lynch, at least the last couple years of his career definitely faster, and he also had that quick cut ability Lynch did so well:
Rawls is the real deal. He has a great knack at finding the holes, he's patient (unlike Michael who just ran into the backs of the lineman) and knows just when to cut wnr take off a different direction:
What it really is going to boil down to is if Rawls can stay healthy or not. He worries me a little bit just because we obviously saw him take a major injury last year, get injured again very early this season and then get banged up a bit in his return and had to leave a game early (last week or the week before). He had a fantastic game yesterday, obviously his best game since last season so we'll see if he can hopefully stay healthy. Pope looked good in his few touches so ideally I'd like to see him get more carrier to take some of the work load off Rawls so he can be healthy and fresh for the playoffs. If so, then yes, Super fucking Bowl

Seahawks bring back Jeron Johnson, waive George Farmer
Now 27 UDFA's on the active roster, and only one 1st round pick (ET out, obviously)...

As the internet connoisseur you often say you are, you most likely already saw this but maybe for the less savvy;

Dope hit, I had not seen this thanks!
Snow likely for Packers-Seahawks game 5-9 inches.
This will come down how well the Seahawks can run the ball vs Green Bays short passing game, which has been on point as of late.
The leading rusher for the Seahawks in 2016 is currently the starting RB for Green Bay. The leading rusher for Green Bay out of active players is Aaron Rodgers. That's crazy haha. I wanted to hate on C-Mike but he was giving so much praise to his "brothers" and was saying he misses them and stays in touch with everyone, so best of luck to him. I don't think he'll be a factor though.

So what's everyone's gut for Sunday? Another big game, seems like every week.
I heard some crazy stat that the Seattle haven't won in Green Bay since 1999? That's crazy! Time to end that bullshit. Aaron Rodgers is 15-2 in December at home which is nuts but on the flip side Russell Wilson is also Mr. December, "16-3 in the month of December with 35 touchdowns, nine interceptions and a passer rating of 106.2. That December passer rating is the highest in the NFL since the 1970 merger."
Those impressive stats conflict with each other so something has to give. I'd say this is a 50/50 matchup - on a neutral field I'd favor the Seahawks 70/30 right now but because:
-it's in Lambeau.
-at 6-6 trailing Detroit, GB absolutely needs a win to keep their playoff dreams alive.
-it's going to be nasty cold & snowy.
-Earl Thomas is out and Rodgers loves to tske shots deep center field a few times a game.
Are all reasons why this is a even matchup, despite GBs lack of running game and defense being 23rd in the league in points allowed at 25.2 points per game.
Without much of a running game, GB had been doing a lot of dink and dunks to pick up short gains and they've been very efficient with that style of play lately, which is the one area the Seahawks defense can struggle against at times, so that combined with Rodgers ability to throw deep at any given time is going to be very difficult to deal with.
Despite GBs points allowed, they are actually pretty good against the run, #9 in the NFL, so while this could be a big opportunity for Rawls to be a huge factor, in may boil down to Wilson and his ability to keep drives alive through the air or on the ground. The o-line will have to repeat what they did against Carolina last week.
I think it will be a little higher scoring then some predict, but close nonetheless, probably something like 27-24, and given their history its almost certain some crazy controversial play will happen that may decide the game.
