GB announcers noting how GB was celebrating on the sidelines after the INT...

Were they expecting them to be dejected?

They should have been celebrating a pick 6. Burnett very likely could have scored on that play.

bostick, burnett, capers, mm, and the dbs (late)...were the biggest goats. bostick confessed it wasn't his job to go for the recovery, burnett went brain dead, capers and mm went conservative, dbs suddenly couldn't cover anyone. this wiped 4th and 26 (or whatever it was) right off the map.

If the Packers had bigger balls they would have won.

Comment woodbuck27:

No real Green Bay Packer fan should ever forget this game. It will forever be memorable for me because there is so much to learn from it.

Learning comes more from failure than success.

A bloggers play by play look at the entire game. This is actually fun to read and a different reflection on what most of us saw LIVE.

Seahawks Jon Ryan does 'the belt' celebration at Mike McCarthy


Tom Pelissero, USA TODAY Sports 8:17 a.m. EST January 19, 2015

SEATTLE — A national TV audience saw Seattle Seahawks backup tackle Garry Gilliam celebrate his touchdown on a fake field goal in Sunday's NFC Championship Game by mimicking Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers' title belt celebration.

Far fewer saw Seahawks punter/holder Jon Ryan doing the same move with gusto toward the Packers bench — a move he says he'd been waiting to unleash on his old team for years.

"I did the belt," Ryan said, laughing, "right at (Packers coach) Mike McCarthy."


Comment woodbuck27:

There's not much a pro athlete enjoys more than having an outstanding performance Vs your former team.

" There...that's what you get for releasing me."

I cannot tell you how very often that comes up in the NHL.

It's simply 'Ohh So Canadian'.

http://www.king5.com/story/sports/nf...take/21928607/ Apparently Schneider was the one who cut him back in 2008, and admits it was a mistake. Oh, really? You mean because Derrick Frost was a downgrade? Ryan was not spectacular, but cutting him started the 1 year eras of Derrick Frost and Jeremy Kapinos in successive years. Oy! At least Masthay has provided some stability at that position. I would agree with Scheider that it was a dumb move to cut him. I can't remember if he had a punting competition with Derrick Frost in TC or if Frost was simply brought in off the streets.

what asshole decided to bring this thread back from the dead?

i think it should be locked, then burned so none of us ever have to visit this memory again

[denverYooper]

I just want this stupid season over already. Can they just play the superbowl today and be done with it?

[woodbuck27]

This is the Game Thread and all Packerrats felt about this historic loss in a NFC championship game. It's like a kick in the nuts that smarts for awhile. I do know this much:

a) You don't learn anything running from it. You embrace the loss from every advantage of dealing with the truth.

At the same time.......

b) You don't allow the burden of it to hold you down.

It goes to Mike McCarthy's Presser this week and the bottom line if it's backed up:

well guess what, we the fans don't have shit to learn from this thread, nor do "we" need to adjust anything

He's back on land. Advised the builders you wouldn't need that many lifeboats.

telling the captain to go ahead and take the northern route at full speed, because he doesn't foresee there being any icebergs this time of year

IIRC, Ryan was cut days before the regular season opener. Rumour was that the Packers had their eye on Frost, and when he was cut by Washington Ryan was punted and they brought Frost right in and signed him.

I think he went on to a front office position in the NFLPA.

At this point I feel like I'm over the loss, but seeing the game tomorrow will probably bring back the memories

On that day I believe most of Packer Nation would agree that the Green Bay Packers were for by far most of that game the better team.

We try our best here to slice and dice it and analyze it all. To better understand what caused every missed point and blown play. That's why a forum such as this exists.

That's why I discover stuff like this;

http://www.packersnews.com/story/spo...game/22173121/

We're not back in High School and enjoying Pepper Rallies...Rah Rah rah... it's all Packers !

We rather look at everything and hope to see and agree with what the Packers Powers need to do to avoid the mistakes that obviously went down in that collapse. That's a struggle in itself here with different personalities, emotions and personal agendas that too often have little to do with a focus of Green Bay Packer needs (improvements). When we know we've got it right we have to remain patient with Ted Thompson and Mike McCarthy.

For example... how long we've waited for Packer Head Coach Mike McCarthy to dismiss Shawn Slocum. Now should DC Dom capers stay or go? How will the poor punting position on the Packers be cleaned up?

I feel this way:

The Green Bay Packers have now lost three straight games to the NFC Champion Seattle Seahawks. I see that organization as a road block to the Packers getting another Super Bowl win in the Ted Thompson, Mike McCarthy and Aaron Rodgers era. I look for and read all I can about that last game in Seattle. If I simply could forget this game or imagine I could ! Would I be able to seriously deem myself a dedicated Green Bay Packer fan?

This to me is simply another frustration I endure as a Packer fan; one I'll survive to see a better result.

GO PACKERS ! GO PACK GO !!
