On Monday, September 24th, 2012, one of the best teams from the 2011 NFL season comes marching into CenturyLink Field with a 1-1 record and a (many would argue) justified expectation that they will win their matchup with the home underdogs, the oft-forgotten Seahawks from South Alaska. Despite the fact that their record last year was 15-1, despite the fact that they have the best quarterback in the league, and despite the fact that their franchise has won 4 Superbowl Rings in 5 opportunities, the Green Bay Packers are a mere 3 point favorites over the Seahawks, who've never won a Superbowl and who have spent two years with a losing 7-9 record. After the jump I'll give you a few good reasons why the Seahawks just might pull out an upset and send the Packers to a losing record with two losses against NFC West opponents.

A lesson in humility...
Gravity... is working against me. Gravity... wants to bring me down... - John Mayer
I don't think John Mayer wrote that song about a disappointing Seattle Seahawks loss, but it sure seems relevant to me right now. Coming into this season opener against the Arizona Cardinals, I think it would be safe to say that fans' expectations of our team and especially our new starting QB were somewhere near the ionosphere, whereas now they probably more reasonably reside closer to Earth. It is apparent that "Hustle" Wilson is not going to perform like he did against the Chiefs this preseason in every game, or perhaps not even most games. Heck, he might have a repeat of this week for the next 15 weeks. I'm still convinced that he is our starting QB going forward and can/should turn into a very good NFL QB.
I'm going to break down the positions and grade them based off of what I saw, with the disclaimer that I only got to see most of the second half, as I was on a plane for the first half.
