Official Packers - Seahawks Game Thread 1/18/15

[woodbuck27]

Does this top the TO catch after the Rice fumble, 4th and 26, and the OT Giants loss as the worst loss ever? I'm sick

The Packers had it and simply gave it away.

The Packers had what wasn't supposed to be theirs. A win in Seattle and a berth in the Super Bowl.

Most of us had to feel a win in that game but in the second half the Packers offense simply dropped out.

This will be an ugly defeat to easily overcome. It's simply embarrassing when the team has it that close to victory.

A terrible loss that will feel worse tomorrow....worse the next day after the shock is over.

M3 fucked the game

The Packers are getting criticized for shutting down their offense with a 19-7 lead and under 5 minutes to play after Burnett's interception. I think 31 other teams would do exactly what MM did and call 3 running plays to force Seattle to burn TOs. Everybody is quick to say that special teams cost us this win, and they certainly contributed.

Remember, in the last 3 minutes of the game and in the first 3 minutes of overtime, our defense gave up 22 points. Our offense had the ball for about a minute and scored 3 points. Our defense EPICALLY failed. I don't believe this is on the defensive coordinator. I believe the players failed. They, and I don't use this word easily, completely choked. MM didn't lose the game. Capers didn't lose the game. Special teams certainly contributed, but the defense lost this game after playing lights out for 57 minutes. The players choked this game away.

So you are absolving the coaches for losing this game?

Stubby, Capers, did just about everything you could expect against that team at home. They pulled off an incredible upset getting that team ready and did everything necessary to take this team to the Super Bowl in an unbelievably tough place to win.

All wr needed after the Kuhn belly flop was a td.

[King Friday]

Given the score, the D and the way the game played out, that wasn't a huge cost. But it left them with less margin for error and then they got WAY too conservative.

Yeah, I've seen us fail miserably enough on 4th and goal from the 1 lately...I'll take the 3 points against a Seattle team that is offensively challenged. McCarthy's playcalling in the redzone is about the worst I've seen from an NFL head coach. That wasn't the pussy move that cost us the game. Deciding to basically take a knee from the start of the 4th quarter when the Seahawk defense was gassed, injured, limping, on the ropes....that is inexcusable from a coaching staff.

Have to agree with this..although...I"d credit the ST as much as any.

And I gotta say.....in looking at the Fake Field Goal.....Ryan would have been caught by House. Hawk leaving the receiver was TERRIBLE

[mraynrand]

Man - biggest choke ever by a guy who will go down in infamy way ahead of T.J. Rubley and every choke story in the history of football.

Yes the coaches deserve credit for WINNING THIS GAME. One guy took it away from them all. Unbelievable.
Still fire Slocum but that shouldn't happen just because of this game.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Ya know what I wanted to see? One goddamm fucking play run at Sherman while he's holding a useless arm against his shirt. Fuck, even Kirk kicked the shit out of Khan after he had to tuck his useless hand in his belt.

Run to Sherman's side and just make him try one tackle. Throw over there and make him jam with one hand only. Anything. Geezus that was intolerable. INTOLERABLE!

yes, it was odd that they never tested Sherman

[Harlan Huckleby]

the worst defeat in Packer history will have more than 1 goat. IT's tempting to blame it all on MM, Slocum, Hawk, Bostick ..... There were a series of epic fuckups

[Rastak]

One guy? That's bullshit. There were many plays that could have sealed it. Many. That was one giant fuckup, not the only mistake and failure.

ROGERS INTERVIEW

Seemed VERY short when trying to answer a question about whether they knew of Richard Sherman going with one arm....asking if they could have capitalized better
he noted
We didn't get it done....he's clearly not happy with lack of aggression on O

yes

[Bossman641]

I'll give you an honest answer. I love the Packers, always have and always will. But I have NEVER been a stubby fan, I really think he is an over rated coach. I also don't care for Slocum or Capers. But keeping them around is just another example of how inadequate stubby is. Many fans don't remember the years of shitty to mediocre QB's. The Packers have had a superstar QB for the last 20+ years. You HAVE to take an advantage of that, because it won't last forever. But the powers that be in GB seem happy to say well shucks we almost made it, maybe next year.

Fair enough
