Here we go again... A Seahawks Dynasty?

My goal with this dynasty is to as closely replicate the NFL as possible. I am using 32 team control on this franchise, while playing all games as the Super Bowl Champion Seattle Seahawks. I am following all real life supsensions/and injuries to start off the dynasty and will adjust rosters and depth charts from there. So without further ado, lets get the season started, and we know who's kicking it off this year...

The Seattle Seahawks welcome the entire NFL to kickoff 2014 in the Emerald City. There will be many great pregame festivities downtown, including a concert by local rock legends Soundgarden, and Pharrell Williams, but those are just appetizers for the main event that will be taking place in CenturyLink Field Thursday night. The defending champion Seahawks will welcome in the Green Bay Packers, a team many feel will challenge them for their throne this season, as well as a team that no doubt still has a bad taste in it's mouth from the infamous "fail mary" of two years ago. Will Aaron Rodgers be able to figure out the Legion of Boom? Or will another team fall victim to the 12th Man in primetime in Seattle?

Game Notes
Seattle is 6-10 all time against Green Bay, and had lost three straight before the "Fail Mary" game. However Green Bay is only 2-3 in games played in Seattle as the majority of this series has been played on the frozen tundra.

Players to Watch

Offense:

Aaron Rodgers - QB: If there's a QB in the league with the swag to go right after the LOB it's this man. Aaron Rodgers has never lacked for confidence and flair, and will have no problems going right after the Seahawks strongest link.

Defense:

Clay Matthews - OLB: This is a potential matchup nightmare for the Hawks on Thursday, Matthews is an elite rusher who can switch sides. Expect him to do that a lot in this one to get himself matched up with Hawks rookie Justin Britt.

Prediction: Make no mistake about it, the Packers are more than a worthy challenge for the Hawks to kickoff their title defense. I wouldn't expect a blowout like night games in the past, but in the end, the 12th man's energy once the Super Bowl banner drops will be too much for Green Bay to overcome in this one.
