    Not even upset

    Being upset that we lost a game that we coached that poorly would be pointless. We played not to lose and we got what we deserved. Seattle didnt' deserve to win, but we sure as shit deserved to lose based on the coaching decisions we made.

    We kicked the shit out of the seahawks and lost because we decided we had done enough to win. We changed our style and approach and got more and more cautious as the end neared.

    McCarthy owns this one. Not slocum, not capers, but McCarthy as the philosophy a game is played, is on the head coach. We decided to mail it in and milk the clock instead of putting a team away. Loss well earned, winning that way would have been a crime.

    I am upset that we were so close and yet pissed it away. All those little mistakes at the end, and one of which went our way and we win. Will take awhile to get over this.

      If you're not upset you're in denial.

      Isn't there five steps to the grieving process and denial is the first one? I believe so.

        Being upset that we lost would be the equivalent of being upset that Obama's policiies don't work. I know they are wrong, so I know they won't work. Milking the clock from the 9 minute mark is kinda dumb ya think?

          The Packers haven't lost. I'm having a nightmare. I've set the alarm to 2 PM, and I will be waking up soon to catch the start of the NFC Title game.

              I agree with your assessment, but not necessarily on what I would have executed. With 5 minutes or so left and them needing two TDs to win, and us getting the ball once for sure….it would seem that playing the way they did would assure a victory. UNLESS 100% of the things that could go right for them and wrong for us played out.

              And they all did.

              In hindsight it’s easy to say not to milk the clock, but two picks and it would have been a different story.
              After lunch the players lounged about the hotel patio watching the surf fling white plumes high against the darkening sky. Clouds were piling up in the west… Vince Lombardi frowned.

                Great to see your post Bobble. I don't agree at all with the meaningless 20-20 hingsight "we played not to lose" mindset. THEY HAD THE GAME WON. Those guys played their asses off and beat the defending world champs in their place to earn a Super Bowl berth.

                Had the easy onside kick been recovered - we'd be jumping for joy and singing their praises for locking down Seattle's offense and gritting out enough offense to outplay the league's premier defense.

                  I went into today's game with no chance of being upset. Figured Seattle would win, might take Pack behind the woodshed. Hoped GB could make a game of it, maybe pull the upset. Well fuck me these assholes found a way to piss me off. This is the only scenario that could upset me, game in hand and just give it away....

                    Why do you do this?

                    Fine, you are not upset, the Packers got what they deserved. Enough said.
                    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

                      No shit. It's hard to imagine a worse loss. The only scenario that could out do it is if it happened in two weeks as the entire team earned the chance to do - if not for one fucking guy.

                        I stopped watching at the 5:00 mark... knew it was over.

                        This is on MM and dunderdummy - each of them crawled into a shell and just keep hoping the hourglass would drain out... hard to win games like that.

                        That is their nature though... it has been their nature since they've been here. MM played to win in a few games earlier this year when he passed for 1st downs, but when he began running for minus yardage with 5 minutes left - that was the same as taking a knee and hoping everything worked out, as opposed to being aggressive and going after the win.

                        It is the weak mindset that both of those coaches have... so?? another season down the drain.

                            This is as dark as I will go, but it is not a surprise that you have all of the health issues that you have. Mindset explains everything.

                              In hindsight it’s easy to say not to milk the clock, but two picks and it would have been a different story.
                              So, Stubby called three Lacy dives for what reason?

                              To milk the clock? No, that wouldn't make sense because Seattle has all three time outs.

                              To gain a first down? No, after Lacy was stopped once for a loss, and then twice for a loss, Stubby actually thought a 3rd Lacy rush would gain 16 yards.

                              Stubby blew it. Clear as day. Not hindsight, just common sense.
                              One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.
