Name the Game Nominations

[Harlan Huckleby]

This memory deserves a catchy name. "The Fail Mary Game", "4th and 26", "The Ice Bowl" are taken.

I got nothing much

The Bostic Bowl
The Collapse
Pain in the Rain

[Joemailman]

The Collapse works. Too many things went wrong to name it on one play or player.

[red]

yup, the collapse sums it up perfectly

nothing more needs to be said about it

[mraynrand]

The Confidence Game

[Freak Out]

The Crying Game.

[Harlan Huckleby]

The Confidence Game

good

[Harlan Huckleby]

The Crying Game.

strong, very very strong

[Harlan Huckleby]

I kinda like "Bostic Bowl" because it is memorable, I know it is not fair, but that was the most amazing moment of game.

How in the hell does an NFL head coach not see what any fat, slobbering Packer fan on a couch has seen for the last 6 years? McCarthy deserves considerable questioning on his choice to keep this moron around so long.

[Harlan Huckleby]

There are lots of good words to start with: Debacle, Mirage, Meltdown, Giveaway, Surrender Monkey, Collapse

The trick is to make something memorable, or a nice ring.

The math says go for it on 4th and short in the foe's territory. Being conservative is simply giving the foe a chance to win. Just ask Jim Caldwell....And Mike McRetardy.

[Carolina_Packer]

My three nominees are all similar...

Hapless in Seattle
Helpless in Seattle
Hopeless in Seattle

[mraynrand]

The name needs to incorporate the willful nature of the collapse. the premature turtle-shell, submissive dog-rolling-on-it's-back, attempt to run out the clock. the misplaced, premature confidence that the game was won. The concentrated concatenation of bungling incompetence. The catatonic immobility brought on by a stunning and seemingly instantaneous turn of events. The totally incongruous, inexplicable capture of momentum by a team that just threw a catastrophic interception. I think Burnett's slide epitomizes what happened, Vince's POV aside.

"The Slide" encapsulates the loss for me, but is not quite catchy enough and doesn't tell the whole story.

"Seattle slide" gives you more information, but makes it sound like seattle was the team that slid.

Seattle Slew

slo͞o/Submit
verb

turn or slide violently or uncontrollably in a particular direction.

[mraynrand]

FYI - Cleveland sports radio guys unanimously agreed that the Packer loss was worse than any single playoff loss suffered by the Browns. Worse than "The Drive," worse than "The Fumble." Worse than "Red Right 88." They were quick to add that because GB has had so much sustained success, GB has nothing to complain about - Cleveland still has exclusive rights for weeping and gnashing of teeth over tragic playoff futility.

[Patler]

Surrender in Seattle or Seattle Surrender as previously suggested

I got news for him. The Drive and Red Right 88 were worse.

The Fumble gets a lot of play, but the Browns were behind all game after an awful first half. If Byner scores, its tied in a game neither team had played stellar defense.

[mraynrand]

I got news for him. The Drive and Red Right 88 were worse.

only if you are a Browns fan. RR88 wasn't even a championship game. The Drive was brutal, but it didn't come close to the collapse GB suffered. I'm not saying this, this is the view of unobjective (from the Cleveland view point) radio guys.
(edit: Also, they argued that you have to take yourself out of the context of accumulating bad playoff losses and accumulating years of no championships to evaluate an isolated, single game, tragedy. In the totality of the Cleveland experience, GB can't come close - thank God!)

[vince]

Unbefuckinglievable.
That gets my vote.

[denverYooper]

Slocum's Exit.

[esoxx]

Packer Pucker

[Harlan Huckleby]

Hapless in Seattle

That's a good one.

Only problem is that the Packers had such success for 3 1/2 quarters.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Packer Pucker

The Great Packer Pucker. Very promising. Has a beat.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Ten years from now, people might remember this as the "Bostick Game," when it should be known as the "McCarthy Game."

http://www.jsonline.com/sports/packers/mike-mccarthy-should-get-plenty-of-blame-for-packers-loss-b99429413z1-289103671.html


a painfully passive plan from McCarthy was central to the unfathomable collapse. Given countless chances to dethrone the champs with one bold decision, he balked.

I'm not sure what packer nation may think but forever @ packerrats it should be exoxx's suggestion:

The Packer Pucker. That's precious !

HH I also like the beat of that.

I like my 'The Mirage Game'.

Today analyzing why Clay Matthews might be so conspicuously missing in that game from 7:07 remaining in the 4th Quarter and aprox. 20 minutes of real time. I came up with this:

15 in 44

The Packers Defense gave up 15 points in 44 seconds.

wist43 is again correct.

Never never absolutely never trust Dom Capers.

[Maxie the Taxi]

I don't know who said it, or where I heard it, but to me that game will always be THE BIG CHOKE!

[Joemailman]

Apocacollapse Now.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Apocacollapse Now.

This is fucking brilliant.

I intend to tweak it slightly, then claim your idea as my own.

"The Apocollapse" Or perhaps "Apocollapse 2015" I will email to Homer and see if that can't get into wider circulation.

[mraynrand]

No need for '2015.' The Apocollapse works.

So is it:

Ah-pa-col-lapse

or Ah-poca-col-lapse?

[Fosco33]

Maybe it's just me... but I don't think the loss was worst in packers, NFL or sports (as many do).

HOW we lost - yes, it's a shocker. But Seattle, in Seattle is very/very tough.

Being at the NFCC in Lambeau, Favre's last game/last INT was WAY worse for me personally (being at the game, at home, etc).

I can see that. I actually felt worse about 2007 2 months later when Favre retired from the Packers. The fact that Favre's career had ended on such a negative note bothered me. To me though 2015 feels worse because the Packers seemingly had the game won. And maybe because I dislike Seattle a lot more than I disliked the Giants.
