Denial Anger Bargaining Depression Acceptance

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.

'Special Teams have to be comprised of roster players with 'Special' talents and every member of any 'Special Team' should be coached to ensure that their assignment sure. Reference Brandon Bostic and the Seattle successful onside kick.

Seattle Seahawks at 02:09 (Onside Kick formation) 4-S.Hauschka kicks onside 15 yards from SEA 35 to 50, impetus ends at SEA 48. RECOVERED by SEA-13-C.Matthews.


All that is on the back of the Special Teams' coach. The Special Teams coach has to be selected by the Head coach.

Shit shouldn't roll up hill. The fact the Packers ST play is poor has to fall on the Coach and ultimately HC Mike McCarthy for retaining Shawn Slocum.

Next season will be Shawn Slocum's 7th season as the Packers ST Coordinator if Mike McCarthy doesn't finally smarten up?


Packerrats is consistent in it's criticisms of the Packers ST's. That has gone on since the 2010 Season Super Bowl win. The Packers ST play is Ranked 22nd in the NFL.


How many times I read posts here last week that spoke to the effect that this NFC championship game would come down to a comparison of ST play and predictions that... if the Packers lost it would be much as a result of poor ST play.



The Seattle Seahawks kicked ass on ST's. It was a lot more than a successful onside kick.



Green Bay took a 16-0 lead into the locker room at the half.

Looking at the Packers punting:

In the second half Tim Masthay punted 44 yards (to Seattle 8 >>> Seattle 22); 44 yards (to Seattle 29 >>> Seattle 34); 37 yards (to Seattle 44 >>> to Seattle 46); *** 30 yards to Seattle 31 ... and 7 Seattle plays later Seattle scores a TD on two consecutive Russell Wilson runs.

*** 4-14-GB 39 (4:00) 8-T.Masthay punts 30 yards to SEA 31, Center-61-B.Goode, out of bounds.

The Green Bay Packers need to find a punter. The Packers punting is Ranked 29th in the NFL.

The loss sucks, but I'm moving on. I used to get really wrapped up in this stuff, but not any longer. I was upset for a day or two but then I just let it go.

Yeah, me too, but I still would give my left nut to have won that game.

I agree. I usually give it hell for about three days but yesterday I had too much else on my schedule.

Yet when the team you support has the greatest collapse in it's modern history.

This one is especially right for more introspection and that in spite of the fact a loss in Seattle was probable.

Must add blame the refs.

If the officials see that and call that it would have changed to location of the ball for the kick off.

4th Quarter:

Two-Minute Warning ! :

2-7-GB 32 (1:56) (Shotgun) 3-R.Wilson pass short right to 82-L.Willson to GB 24 for 8 yards (50-A.Hawk; 38-T.Williams).

1-10-GB 24 (1:33) (No Huddle, Shotgun) 24-M.Lynch left tackle for 24 yards, TOUCHDOWN.

TWO-POINT CONVERSION ATTEMPT. 3-R.Wilson pass to 82-L.Willson is complete. ATTEMPT SUCCEEDS.


GB 19 SEA 22 Plays: 4 Possession: 0:44

Green Bay Packers at 01:25 4-S.Hauschka kicks 61 yards from SEA 35 to GB 4. 33-M.Hyde to GB 22 for 18 yards (83-R.Lockette).

A positive difference for the PACKERS if Hauschka must kick from the Seattle 20 yard line.
