More Banjo: @ Seahawks NFC Championship ***k Up

[woodbuck27]

Bostick didn't make the play but I don't blame him for the loss. The play that won this game for Seattle was the TD on the fake FG. You cannot allow that to happen in that situation. A fake is the one and only thing you are looking for on that play. That play turned everything around and gave the Seahawks hope.

Photos: Seattle punter Jon Ryan's touchdown pass that turned the game

" Seattle Seahawks punter Jon Ryan's touchdown pass was the first by a punter in NFL postseason history. His third-quarter throw to tackle Garry Gilliam on a fake field goal put Seattle on the board. "

Don't forget 51-45 in 2009. Packers have a knack for these gut-wrenching playoff losses.

Don't remind me. TWO non calls of offensive PI on Fitzgerald vs Woodson that were both called defensive PI. And Finley was unstoppable. And the non-call facemask.

That was a game where the refs lost it for us. That one stuck with me for a while.

Fake FGs are desperation. The play that changed the tide was the last INT, because the Packers turned off the boilers and the Seahawks kept playing.

There was a critical missed offensive PI in this game too. Twill would have had another INT had he not been held.

Yeah, I was talking about that one with my brother. I didn't see it live, but the replay was incredibly obvious. The only way the ref missed that is if it was completely shielded by the wide receiver.

So how many of these has MM been involved with? That has to be strikes against him. So don't fire the guy if you think he is getting the job done, but goddamn it, don't give him a raise or an lucrative extension. He is starting to remind me of Farve, just a big tease...

As bad as it was that the Green Bay Packers got burned by the Seattle Seahawks' fake field goal in the third quarter of Sunday's NFC Championship Game overtime loss, what's worse is that they never even saw it coming.

Safety Sean Richardson, who allowed backup offensive lineman Garry Gilliam to get behind him and catch a 19-yard touchdown pass from holder/punter Jon Ryan, said he never heard anyone on the field or from the Packers' sideline give the call to be aware of a possible fake.

"We have an alert if we think that they're going to fake it," Richardson said after the game. "We have calls for that."

To Richardson's knowledge, there was no alert call made.

"We were expecting a kick," said Richardson, who led the Packers in special-teams snaps played (321) during the regular season.

The onsides kick has to be Bostick's career in a nutshell, right? All offseason he was supposed to be the one to come in and grab the TE job by the horns and didn't. We've heard week after week how he isn't assignment sure enough to see offensive snaps. Then he blows off his responsibility to try to grab the ball himself.

well, if you make the playoffs every year and don't win all the Superbowls, you are going to be involved in some unpleasant season-ending playoff losses. I can't say I ever experienced an enjoyable playoff loss.

Tell that to CLE, DET, JAX and 18 other teams. If you don't get in you can't lose in the playoffs.

There was an interesting stat during the NE game last night. Belicheat has won 20 playoff games in his coaching career. That is more than 21 other teams have played in their entire team history.

The part that kills me is the utterly fantastic defensive performance for 55 minutes. I have never been as proud, nit even in 2009 or 2010. Low scoring was probably to be expected. But The Packers were knocking the stuffing out of them.

Tapped the brakes too early.

It's not just that, it's the stunning and complete reversal, from complete defensive domination to utter inability to stop anything. And Wilson going from throwing picks everywhere to dropping consecutive 35 yard booms, in the wind and rain, right into the bucket.

Yup, and when I heard him say this has to be one of the best NFC Championship games ever, I wanted to tell him 'not from this side'.

We allowed Seattle to make the greatest ever halftime comeback in a conference championship. No team had ever recovered from a 16 point deficit at halftime. I would say it was more than just tapping the brakes.

Needed more Starks.
