Matt Hasselbeck Is Out

QB Matt Hasselbeck hasn't practiced all week and backup QB Seneca Wallace hasn't been able to practice either. Former Cleveland starting QB Charlie Frye had been getting all the reps with the first team and the scout team, so Seattle signed a QB for the practice squad just so Frye didn't have to throw all the passes in practice.

I've been assuming Hasselbeck would skip practice, but be good enough to play on Sunday.

Instead Frye will get the start on Sunday. At least one Seattle fan is hoping Frye will spend the entire game handing the ball off to RB Julius Jones.

This changes everything. Frye doesn't have the arm to throw downfield, so this allows the linebackers and safeties to play closer to the line. Seattle was having a lot of trouble getting all their new receivers adjusted to the complex offense and now throw in a QB who has even less experience with them. Now this is a game the Packers should win, and it becomes a huge problem if they can't win against a team that is sinking as bad as Seattle.

Frye has potential

Don’t count us out! We still have a wing and prayer :)

Frye is honestly gotta be one of the top 10 3rd Stringers in all of the NFL right now…we can pull this one off……..

Time to start drinking here in Seattle

That has got to be one of the best backhanded compliments I’ve ever heard. Classic!

Feeling pretty satisfied with the Brewers playoff appearance

LOL

Not sure what to say at this point, maybe my quality of season tickets will drastically improve and we will get a great 1st round draft pick next year. If you don’t beat you guys tomorrow I think our season may be done, 1-3 we have come back from before, but I don’t think I have seen many come back from 1-4.

My neighbor is from Greenbay so it has been a fun week thus far and should be fun tomorrow, may the best team’s second/third string win! (As you guys seem as equally banged up!)

A good defense

can bail out a horrendous offense. Anyone who is in the NFL can play football, also, it IS sort of why they’re there.

And on the flip side

I really have a hard time saying Aaron Rodgers handing the ball off in practice and not throwing the ball counts as “practicing” in either. It could be an ugly game tomorrow.

He's still a lot better

Rodgers wasn’t even allowed to throw a tennis ball before the Atlanta game, and he still went out there and threw for over 300 yards. Not everyone is 100%, but all the starters should play.

With Seattle, they’re without three of their four top receivers from last season, and a QB who’s never played a regular season game for them. Plus the Packers pass defense is outstanding (the run defense is what’s in the toilet). With little pass offense, it might be really ugly for Seattle.
