Not even upset

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.

creepy

pb, are you an Obama guy?

I am a guy who would prefer the no politics in the Packers forum rule apply. I don't care if bobble is praising or complaining about Obama.

I'm high strung, lol... no doubt about that

It's my nature... it is what it is.

I come in handy when the going gets rough though

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.

Didn't the Seahawks get down to one TO on that drive? Or was that the next?

I agree here. It was obvious after 1st down that Seattle was selling out to stop Lacy. Should have been throwing the ball on 2nd down.

They also kept losing yardage which doesn't help the field position.

I have no tolerance for weakness or stupidity... it is why my blood pressure goes thru the roof.

I can actually live with getting beat fair and square, i.e. make a better play... but to lose by way of timidity or outright stupid playcalling?? There's no excuse for that.

Beat me physically?? I'll tip my cap and shake your hand... but it'll be a cold day in hell when I'd lose b/c I was afraid to be aggressive.

I guess i'm referring to what that other post said that we had a 99% chance of winning at that probability site.....you can keep those probabilities high by not turning the ball over.

Of course as a fan I think they should have been more aggressive. But if I was paid a lot of money to win Super Bowls, it wouldn't be so easy.....

Not unlike my wife, and I mean that with the utmost respect.

You're a good sort Wist.

Like Vonnegut mentioned at one point, maybe a fella's attitude has to do with his digestion.

I'm upset because I knew it was coming...unfucking real.

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.

With all due respect, Vince, why would we allow the game to come down to the absolute necessity of recovering an onside kick -- which we all knew Seattle would have to do at some point if they were going to beat us?

After Burnett's interception, we could have been proactive and made a serious effort to make a 1st down or two and avoid an onside kick possibility, or at least minimize its importance by earning a new set of downs to run Seattle out of time outs. We had three downs that we were in control of. (I was wondering at the time if Arod had broken his arm, especially after Lacy first two loss yardage runs.)

Instead, we become reactive, sit on the ball and put all our marbles in the basket of recovering an onside kick.

I truly don't understand that kind of strategy. I guess it's a fundamental difference in approach.

Everyone's a soothsayer after the game!

Bobble shows up NOW? Shocker.

[SMBASS]

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....

Sums up my feelings exactly.
