I think the most critical match-ups are team related:
1) Jags Defensive Pressure vs GB Offensive Protection. Are we smart and talented enough defensively to get pressure on Rogers. Need to disrupt Rogers bigtime.
2) Jags defensive Chemistry vs Confusion. Very young defense (with a lot of new players, inclusive of free agents) coupled with a rookie defensive coordinator doesn't sound like a recipe for success.

Gus's defensive wizardry vs McCarthy's offensive schemes is going to be a thing of beauty.
The fact that the Seahawks defense totally collapsed after Gus's departure shows his defensive intelligence can overcome any offensive schemes or internal defensive deficiencies.

Other than Rogers vs our pass rush, this is one is key.
McCarthy has a detailed game plan to attack our defensive weaknesses.
Dopey Gus has a gameplan to "just go out there man and compete and get better man! Let's go play Jay-gwires football man!"
McCarthy will make adjustments at halftime based on what worked and what didn't work in the first half.
Bobblehead Gus halftime adjustments are "were down by 30 but we did some good things out there man! I'll look at the film later man and fix some of the problems. For the second half we really need to go out there with more effort man and demonstrate our spirit man!"

Add to that the fact that Seattle's defense beat Green Bay's offense when Gus Bradley was there.

Sorry...I couldn't resist.
