View Full Version : Denial Anger Bargaining Depression Acceptance

I will be stuck at stage 4 -depression - for rest of my life.

About 10 things had to go wrong for Packers to lose. Whole team played not to lose - MM gets blame.

I don't care that Packers aren't going to SB. It would have been nice, but no biggie. It's the way that Packers lost that is so unreal.

These types of losses seem to happen to the Packers a lot. The "act of God" losses. 2003, 2007, 2009, 2014 (probably missing several).

Now the plus side is that the Packers, unlike many other teams, are in the playoffs often. So they have more opportunities for those losses. It's time for the football gods to bless Green Bay instead of some other fad team that won't be in the playoffs in two more years.

Actually, I think this loss was more confusing than any other sports loss I've ever seen. It just was such a shocking reversal, I've never been on such a losing end before.

Tonight I hired a fair female companion. I did not want to be alone. She stayed for an hour then left me all alone to go on with my miserable existence. Whatever happened to the wondering and wondrous 60's, a time when love was free?

In times like these, I - a wretched dreamer at the far, far, left - am glad I don't own a gun. If you do own a gun, just remember: You are not alone. It's times like these you learn to live again...

Hi kids:

I'm just watching the replay of my recording of the game.

The Packers played sloppy on 'O' in the first half with too many missed opportunities and conservative play calling.

It got worse for the Packers offense in the second half; yet there's just under 7 minutes left in the 4th Qtr.

Still....

The score is 19-7 Packers and it looks like we're going to pull this game out.

Does Aaron Rodgers have corrected vision? Does he have some kind of music playing in his head; being after all in Seattle a day early before this game?

GO PACK GO !

The overall mood of the forum seems to have shifted from "We don't expect to win" to "This loss is a travesty and someone must be held responsible." Maybe I need more time but I'm not there yet. The performance in Seattle was mostly a pleasant surprise. In fact I'm pretty sure the Packers are the better team.

But I am very tired of being the better team for most of the game and losing anyway.

True, but most of that probably due to us having the game in the bag and pissing it away. Those hurt the most, for me anyway.

that's the sanguine view. If you make the playoffs 7/9 years and win one Super Bowl, you are going to lose 6 playoff games and you won't like it. Even if you were to win 3 superbowls, which would be as great a run as any team ever, you still have to suffer four playoff losses. Practically, realistically and statistically, the best of the best teams are guaranteed to lose a lot of painful playoff games.

I definitely disagree. I watched those blowout divisional games versus Dallas following '93 and '94 seasons. I far preferred the close loss in '95.

Deputy Nutz
01-19-2015, 09:57 AM
but in 1995, the Packers demonstrated that they had made progress with competing with the Cowboys. Now if the Packers went in to Dallas in 1995 and took an Early two touchdown lead, playing with the right attitude, and then to see them piss the game away? I would much rather have watched the 1994 and 1993 games then have my nuts dragged through the coals.

At least with Brett Favre they got there in back to back seasons.

The Packers and Aaron Rodgers blew a golden opportunity to at least get back to the BIG SHOW another time yesterday.

MM and Aaron Rodgers and today not even Packer Nation know why that is the case.

We've got posters in here that actually want to blame that loss on an insignificant Brandon Bostick.

That Brandon Bostick's contribution was vital to a Green Bay Packer victory in Seattle.

He's being Woodbuck facetious. his argument is that Bostick was never considered a critical element BEFORE the game, so therefore he shouldn't be pointed to AFTER the game to have done more (like Rodgers). It's a crazy Woodbuck half argument. Bostick is a nobody, who inserted himself into the game in the worst possible way. But he shouldn't be blamed - Stubby and Rodgers - or someone else with more influence should be blamed. It's a half-assed argument, but it makes half sense.

Today I just keep thinking that I want to just quit watching football and do something more productive with my Sundays.

This is my thought. The Packers are a better team than they were 2 years ago. That's not easy to do when you're picking 20-30 in the draft every year and paying your QB 20 million. Packers, Seahawks and Patriots are the elite teams in the NFL right now.

Restructuring isn't going to be a problem this year. The salary cap is taking a large jump. The problem with that is that contracts will be bigger go forward. Cobb's contract will be bigger than Jordys simply because the economic picture has changed.

Shirley you're not saying that Brandon Bostick was insignificant to that game...

TE Brandon Bostic's negative role in the game cannot be denied but instead of pointing fingers at any Packer player or coach look at what transpired in the second half from a team stand point.

In that second half Green Bay scored 6 points and Seattle score 22 in regulation time. They got lucky and won the toss in OT and a bad OT rule dictated their winning on an opening drive TD. Score

Seattle 28 - Green bay 22.

Looking at it closer:

In the 2nd half:

Passing yards:

Seattle had 195 ... Green Bay had 56

Rushing Yards:

Seattle had 143 ... Green Bay had 72

Total Yards:

Seattle had 338 ... Green Bay had 128

3rd Down Efficiency:

Seattle 8 of 16 for 50% ... Green Bay 3 of 14 for 21.4 %

What did this really add up to? It translated to Green Bay allowing the biggest second half comeback in NFC Championship history. If it reads better in terms of Seattle gaining the biggest comeback? You select your poison.

I'm actually reading posts in here now claiming this edition of the Green Bay Packers is superior to those teams with recent year playoff failures.

NO....clearly this is the worst defeat by any Green Bay Packer team in Green Bay Packer playoff history. That was clearly an ugly loss by the Green Bay Packers TEAM.

Sure simply redirect and ridicule and well as some will do ...shrug it off. Do that and when you see the Packers fall again next season you've got your standard losers response. How has that worked for 'YOU' so far?

This Green Bay Packer fan believes it's finally time to at least determine a plan that might encourage a greater result for the Green Bay Packers.

A model of HOPE for Green Bay Packer SUCCESS far greater or beyond tramping on inferior teams in the NFCN.

Capisce !?

The Packers were really in a position for the "perfect storm" to happen. If they had been ahead by 14 or more points or ahead by 10 or less points, they most likely win the game. It was specifically being up between 11-13 that caused the problem.

'Special Teams have to be comprised of roster players with 'Special' talents and every member of any 'Special Team' should be coached to ensure that their assignment sure. Reference Brandon Bostic and the Seattle successful onside kick.

Seattle Seahawks at 02:09 (Onside Kick formation) 4-S.Hauschka kicks onside 15 yards from SEA 35 to 50, impetus ends at SEA 48. RECOVERED by SEA-13-C.Matthews.


All that is on the back of the Special Teams' coach. The Special Teams coach has to be selected by the Head coach.

Shit shouldn't roll up hill. The fact the Packers ST play is poor has to fall on the Coach and ultimately HC Mike McCarthy for retaining Shawn Slocum.

Next season will be Shawn Slocum's 7th season as the Packers ST Coordinator if Mike McCarthy doesn't finally smarten up?


Packerrats is consistent in it's criticisms of the Packers ST's. That has gone on since the 2010 Season Super Bowl win. The Packers ST play is Ranked 22nd in the NFL.


How many times I read posts here last week that spoke to the effect that this NFC championship game would come down to a comparison of ST play and predictions that... if the Packers lost it would be much as a result of poor ST play.



The Seattle Seahawks kicked ass on ST's. It was a lot more than a successful onside kick.



Green Bay took a 16-0 lead into the locker room at the half.

Looking at the Packers punting:

In the second half Tim Masthay punted 44 yards (to Seattle 8 >>> Seattle 22); 44 yards (to Seattle 29 >>> Seattle 34); 37 yards (to Seattle 44 >>> to Seattle 46); *** 30 yards to Seattle 31 ... and 7 Seattle plays later Seattle scores a TD on two consecutive Russell Wilson runs.

*** 4-14-GB 39 (4:00) 8-T.Masthay punts 30 yards to SEA 31, Center-61-B.Goode, out of bounds.

The Green Bay Packers need to find a punter. The Packers punting is Ranked 29th in the NFL.

The loss sucks, but I'm moving on. I used to get really wrapped up in this stuff, but not any longer. I was upset for a day or two but then I just let it go.

Yeah, me too, but I still would give my left nut to have won that game.

I agree. I usually give it hell for about three days but yesterday I had too much else on my schedule.

Yet when the team you support has the greatest collapse in it's modern history.

This one is especially right for more introspection and that in spite of the fact a loss in Seattle was probable.

Comment woodbuck27:

If the officials see that and call that it would have changed to location of the ball for the kick off.

4th Quarter:

Two-Minute Warning ! :

2-7-GB 32 (1:56) (Shotgun) 3-R.Wilson pass short right to 82-L.Willson to GB 24 for 8 yards (50-A.Hawk; 38-T.Williams).

1-10-GB 24 (1:33) (No Huddle, Shotgun) 24-M.Lynch left tackle for 24 yards, TOUCHDOWN.

TWO-POINT CONVERSION ATTEMPT. 3-R.Wilson pass to 82-L.Willson is complete. ATTEMPT SUCCEEDS.


GB 19 SEA 22 Plays: 4 Possession: 0:44

Green Bay Packers at 01:25 4-S.Hauschka kicks 61 yards from SEA 35 to GB 4. 33-M.Hyde to GB 22 for 18 yards (83-R.Lockette).

A positive difference for the PACKERS if Hauschka must kick from the Seattle 20 yard line.
