Denial Anger Bargaining Depression Acceptance

There is a name for fans who define their fandom by the bitter recoil of defeat rather than the thrill of chasing titles and that name is vikings fan.

Must add blame the refs.

Shirley you're not saying that Brandon Bostick was insignificant to that game...

TE Brandon Bostic's negative role in the game cannot be denied but instead of pointing fingers at any Packer player or coach look at what transpired in the second half from a team stand point.

In that second half Green Bay scored 6 points and Seattle score 22 in regulation time. They got lucky and won the toss in OT and a bad OT rule dictated their winning on an opening drive TD. Score

Seattle 28 - Green bay 22.

Looking at it closer:

In the 2nd half:

Passing yards:

Seattle had 195 ... Green Bay had 56

Rushing Yards:

Seattle had 143 ... Green Bay had 72

Total Yards:

Seattle had 338 ... Green Bay had 128

3rd Down Efficiency:

Seattle 8 of 16 for 50% ... Green Bay 3 of 14 for 21.4 %

What did this really add up to? It translated to Green Bay allowing the biggest second half comeback in NFC Championship history. If it reads better in terms of Seattle gaining the biggest comeback? You select your poison.

I'm actually reading posts in here now claiming this edition of the Green Bay Packers is superior to those teams with recent year playoff failures.

NO....clearly this is the worst defeat by any Green Bay Packer team in Green Bay Packer playoff history. That was clearly an ugly loss by the Green Bay Packers TEAM.

Sure simply redirect and ridicule and well as some will do ...shrug it off. Do that and when you see the Packers fall again next season you've got your standard losers response. How has that worked for 'YOU' so far?

This Green Bay Packer fan believes it's finally time to at least determine a plan that might encourage a greater result for the Green Bay Packers.

A model of HOPE for Green Bay Packer SUCCESS far greater or beyond tramping on inferior teams in the NFCN.

Capisce !?

So apparently our system needs to be looked at:

We have been to the playoffs 6 straight years (tied for longest streak with NE)
One of only three teams to make the playoffs that has won the Super Bowl in the last 6 years (NE and SEA)
5 out of last 6 season we won 11 or more games including playoffs (2013 8 wins with ARod injured)

I was just talking to my local barkeep at lunch today and came up with these thoughts.

The Packers were really in a position for the "perfect storm" to happen. If they had been ahead by 14 or more points or ahead by 10 or less points, they most likely win the game. It was specifically being up between 11-13 that caused the problem.

Even though statistically I cannot justify my fear, I cannot stand when the game comes down to an onside kick.

Green Bay's Special Teams have a way of defying the odds. The game was in (and out of) the hands of their most volatile unit at that point.

Simple math. Even just one TD vs 2 FGs equals a big fucking difference.

Yes, but in this case one less FG is better also.

[mraynrand]

and no points is worse. Just ask Mike Sherman about 4th and 1s at the goal line going wrong, even with the greatest running game in Packer history.

wanna walk us through the alternate scenarios?

[MadtownPacker]

wanna walk us through the alternate scenarios?

Probably best we all punch ourselves in the balls until comatose then wake up for the draft.

[Fritz]

Why punch yourself in the balls when the Packers already did that to us?

Alex Gillett could care less.

Packers players point finger at missed chances

Comment woodbuck27:

Missed chances NOT Brandon Bostic.

[oldbutnotdeadyet]

Well, I have pretty much come to grips with the loss. It will always bring a pain behind my eyeballs when I think of it, but I look at the Packers as bringing me oodles of entertainment this year, at a next to nothing price.

On to next year. When do they fire slocum? And would it help if we took up a collection?
