With the game easily in their grasp, the Green Bay Packers somehow managed an epic collapse after dominating the Seattle Seahawks for most of four quarters.
The meltdown began when Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson ran for what appeared to be a meaningless touchdown with 2:09 left, making the score 19-14, Packers.
Next came an onside kick that was botched by tight end Brandon Bostick, allowing Seattle to recover. The Packers defense, which had been stellar all day up to this point, allowed the Seahawks to stroll right down the field and score on a Marshawn Lynch touchdown run with 1:25 left.
That wouldn’t have been as big a deal if Seattle wouldn’t have converted the following two-point conversion, which Wilson hoisted about a mile into the air from the other side of the field to tight end Luke Wilson.
I could have knocked down that pass. You could have knocked down that pass. However, Ha Ha Clinton-Dix somehow was unable to knock down that pass and the Seahawks had a three-point lead at 22-19.
The Packers quickly drove for the tying field goal to send the game to overtime.
That momentary break in the collapse didn’t matter though. The momentum was clearly on Seattle’s side at this point and the Packers defense was clearly on their heels. The Seahawks got the ball first in overtime and hit two big pass plays, including the game winner — a 35-yard pass from Wilson to Jermaine Kearse.
28-22. Game over.
This happened despite the Packers defense intercepting Wilson four times and sacking him five. That defense, which was dominant for most of the day, just couldn’t finish, which sounds pretty familiar come to think of it.
The Packers also shot themselves in the foot too many times, even before they decided to collapse. The offense was 1-for-3 in the red zone and a craptacular 3-for-14 on third down.
And so, we go from pricing Super Bowl tickets to the doldrums of another wasted season.

It’s on the offense for refusing to grow a pair and get first downs to run out the clock. As soon as Seattle got that second score I knew GB was screwed, the Special Teams always screws up in big game times, could have called it a mile away. If Slocum still has his job tomorrow it will be a travesty. Still, pin the most blame on the offense and McCarthy with his good for nothing conservative approach and trying to run the clock out, oh wait, they can’t do that right either. Time for another long off-season.
Im so pissed right now, im pissed at Burnett for taking a dive on that interception. Im pissed about ST still not having a fucking a clue and Im pissed at Rodgers for not getting the ball into the fucking end zone.
Be pissed with the offense more then anything. 5 interceptions should have sealed away any game in a heartbeat, and they didn’t have the balls to move the ball downfield.
If you watch the replay on the Burnett int you will see Julius Peppers telling him to get down.
Any reason other than they didn’t want him to fumble ?????
and also I think there was a swash of o-line men coming at him, i dont hate the play, really from there we should have been able to chew clock.
the reason?: peppers was the captain of the D, and he was to relay the order from the sideline coaches: we don’t want to lose [even more than we want to win], so get down, secure the ball, play it safe. that, and a dozen other pieces of the “dumb decision tree” achieved the most desired result: they didn’t lose, which they wanted even more than they wanted to win, at least IN REGULATION.
good point, Danforth… MM pulled the trigger on the “preventive” game mode way too early, and this has been the downfall of many a coach before him: e.g., Norv Turner when he was in my local area, Washington, comes first to mind in my memory…
anyway, it was fun to see Pete carroll has swallowed his bubblegame, prob. from shock, by the end of the first Qtr, LOL. also, i bet the desperate cheathawks let Lynch paint ALL of his cleats with gold spray so the refs wouldn’t stop the game and check his cleats on every offensive drive?
Go Pats! [this is the first time ever that i want to see a team we already beat twice, beat our nfc champs! and also the first time i have openly rooted for the nfc champs to lose!]
Yea coaches have gotten fired for the shit McCarthy pulled today. Worst coaching job to end a game in NFL history.
right. ultimately it is what cost mike sherman his house in GB. in spite of the scapegoating and coverup. in the end the tragedy of incompetent generalship always plays out to its bitter end; just as the con man fraud in the WH will eventually and tragically learn.
Couldn’t agree w/u more ,”upnorth”,,,that is exactly where the blame lies,,,The defense,Crosby,,lacy,,the frontline,,,they did there job..Rogers and his receivers SUCKED.. They should of converted everytime that defense intercepted 4x’s,,,notta,,,,this loss lies on Rogers,,and his receivers,,they did nothing,,and Rogers ,”calm” demeanor when he couldn’t get into the end zone on those defensive interception was like watchen peewee football,,,”darn it” couldn’t convert for a touchdown,,oh well,,,this was for the Super Ball dammit…..not peewee football,,,disgusted,,,paita
Worst loss in Packer History. Worse than T.O. and SB 32.
This. ^^^
Worse than 4th and 26 debacle- epic choke that is inexplicable. Bostick goes down as our Bill Buckner, muffing our chance to go to the Super Bowl. Quarless drops pass for drive sustaining first down. Can’t figure out why Burnett took a dive with FIVE minutes to go. Daniels with a stupid taunting penalty. I gotta stop-they just gave away the game. Should have been done in the first half if red zone O could have done something. Lose to a team with FIVE turnovers?…..out.
just a well coached, disciplined team, wouldn’t you say?
it is on the coaches. the ST coach had the wrong package on the fake punt and also on the “hands team” that wasn’t a hands guy where we needed it. the practice squad TE is not a hands guy he is a blocking te and he took up space that JN couldn’t cover to recover the onside kick. the Ha Ha joke of a 2 point pass knock down was also evidence that they had not practiced ST plays with all the guys that they wanted available. and no Peppers checking in on any of the red zone downs as an eligible receiver.
conclusion: mainly on the ST coach, as this was the worst ST performance i have ever seen in my life by any shitty team, much less a champ. calibre team.
BUT it is ultimately on the HC, he is supposed to sign off on every player package they are going to put in on ST situations. he is not doing his job if he just lets the ST part of the game be totally in the hands of an obviously incompetent ST coach, no?
rec. i am not saying at this point what they should do about the coaching politics and playing favorites with coaches, and players, like AJH, BUT am definitely saying they have a coaching [NOT a mgmt.] problem and it should have taken sooner than the last six seasons to address why MM is looking like a “one ring wonder”
Amen!
Good point on the Buckner analogy !!!
Send him to the Viqueeens
A wasted 6 months of watching every minute of every game to be letdown in one of the worst possible ways Seattle you are welcome,we gave you a trip to the super bowl.
Mo
I DON’T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT THE ON-SIDE! I DON’T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT THE 2-POINT CONVERSION! I DON’T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT THAT HORRIFIC TD TO KEARSE!
FUCK THAT FATASS MIKE MCCARTHY FOR TRYING TO DRAIN THE FUCKING CLOCK OUT!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS SEATTLE NOT THE FUCKING PRESEASON YOU STUPID FUCK!!!!
ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS KEEP TRYING TO GO DOWNFIELD BUT NO YOU HAD TO BE LIKE “Duh dee dur, let’s do a predictable running the ball to Lacy, even though Seattle will see it coming, I’m sure it will work”. FUCK YOU MCCARTHY!
THAT WAS THE STUPIDEST SHIT I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, get use to it because he isn’t gonna change for anything. He’s not a big game coach, nor do I consider him an average game coach. He has no feel for the flow of the game and relies too much on old school “do your job” tactics that it makes him predictable as the day is long. As soon as I saw the usual formula of “Run into the line three times and throw” being used I knew they were screwed. That’s just how he coaches, and since he still has a winning record and most likely will because Rodgers is the quarterback, he’ll be there for as long as his career runs. Slocum on the other hand, if he isn’t gone by tomorrow then that’s travesty.
what do you fucking mean, GET — — USED TO IT? HEY FUCKTARD: HAVEN’T WE BEEN TRYING TO GET — — USED TO IT FOR THE LAST FIVE FUCKING YEARS, ASSHOLE?
Been saying it for the last 4 to 5 years! The most OVER-RATED FUCKTARD COACH IN THE NFL!
good one, MM….suck. looking like he has already accomplished a body of work that will earn him the immortal epithet: the “Bobby Cox of Green Bay”.
Yep! Cox only won one title! Geesh That epithet is spot on!
Never thought for more than 5 seconds GB was in control. If you can’t convert a single 3rd FUCKING down it doesn’t matter what the defense does. How many packers drives went for less than a minute? The offense is so bad on the road this year, it’s amazing it was as good of a game as it was.
That said, great season, can’t win em all, blah blah blah. Seahawks are a great team. Please draft a fucking inside linebacker.
PLEASE GET A NEW OFFENSIVE PLAY CALLER WITH SOME BALLS! One that does not carry his toilet paper to bed with him . . .
As a Viking fan, given the kindness you guys show us, all I can say is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!
Enjoy worrying about keeping an NFL team there for the next few years:) . . . Then what will you cheer??????????????
missed it, They are building a new stadium and signed a 50 year lease… all that cheese mold is rotting your brain
And y’all will still suck dick in your shiny new Chili Bowl.
man o man does it feel to gloat on this one
You guys rip on Viking fans all day long and
twice on Sunday… how does it feel to get a solid
dose of IN YOUR FACE!!!
Ziggy is a fuck! he wants to go somewhere else, or sell!
LOL. hey, jnutz no offense taken, we can take it like we can dish it out! just wish our N div. opposition had players that weren’t even dorkier than the fans! [e.g., you!]. cause we really don’t hate you guys, we just can’t help being amused by all the slapstick comedy that passes for competition in our div. [see the twitter-twat spat amongst da Bears in a previous story here on TP]. in fact, the last of the non-dorks to leave the N div. field was actually da Bear Urlacher. and hey, compared to skedattle fans like SHEHAWKSBONEWHO? you are miles above in class and adulthood, you [and other N div. fans who all seem to be well past puberty] are welcome to come here and post any well deserved rants; in fact we welcome all respectable posts, as you guys are nothing like the habitual trolls, from other divisions, infesting this site.
and never forget: someday you too will know what it’s like to have YOUR team win a SB!
I really do feel bad for the Pack and their fans…
Lord knows I have been there MANY t
today we earned a new moniker: “champs of the black and blue div.” has been revised, to: “champs of the keystone kops div.”
er, “keystone flops div.”?
Am i the only one that was SCEAMIMG stop playing not to lose from the begining of the 4th quarter on..McFatfuck is a fucking asshat. A no game play caller. I told my wife.What he is gonna put hand on the chickenshit switch.. And then BAM wow he did shoocker he did..i Hate that turd. Arron should have called off,and made plays
Amen!
Im pissed at Rodgers a little too, just because of his body language today. Dude, fuckin stop playing Joe cool, just fuckin get in someones face, we’re playing for your legacy man, show some emotion.
Too Much R-E-L-A-X = C-H-O-K-E !!!!!!
I think he was in a LOT of pain playing and it prevented several key first downs and touchdowns from happening.
you are very kind, deepsky! but he wasn’t in pain at buffalo was he? he is just a young man who is getting infected with hubris in dealing with all this fame, money, media accolades, adoring fan base, etc. etc. but being a california dude, he seems very different from favre, in that he seems nonchalance in his approach to winning more SB [been there done that dud!] and his california life style has also affected his work ethic. sometimes it seems it all came to easy for him, and he thinks he is good enough to win on cruise control, like he is throwing a switch on his dashboard or something… that is what his passing rating for the 2nd 2/3 of the 2nd quarter reflected: he should easily have added two more TD passes to the score before the end of the half. but i digress: he needs a sports shrink to get his butt kicked, knocked down a notch, and an attitude “adjustment” which is what a good HC can do, but they could also hire a sports shrink to address the severe blow to their collective psyche.
so altho this tragic fold is partly on AR’s nonchalant overconfidence and “mailing it in” after he got that sizable lead, it is ultimately on the coaches. Pete Carroll would never let any single player be given a pass like MM has given AR. it eventually leaks into the other teammates subconscious, it plants the seed of discontent and contempt amongst the personnel. the first thing i learned as a military officer candidate was this ancient principle: LEADERS MUST TREAT EVERY SINGLE PERSON UNDER THEIR COMMAND AS AN INDIVIDUAL, REGARDLESS OF WHERE THEY CAME FROM, WHO THEY ARE RELATED TO, THEIR RELATIVE ABILITIES AND TALENTS. ALL SUBORDINATES MUST BE TREATED FAIRLY, THERE CAN BE NO FAVORITES IF THE UNIT AS A WHOLE IS TO BE EFFECTIVE IN BATTLE! I.e. if a private fucks up, he is punished, same goes for a five star general. and good FB coaches are always aware of this, they always want to preserve team morale and focus. and this is the REAL issue that GB mgmt. must now find the courage to address. we fans are counting on you, TT, just as you are counting on our support thru this difficult dark defeat…?
he became, like Backstrom, his hero, Mike Sherman. he was suddenly transported back to the famous OT loss to the Iggles, and he BECAME Mike Sherman! god, that is so ghastly.
so who the fuck posted an insult to the Gods of FB a few TP stories back? was it you NachoDan????? what do you think about superstition NOW nachodan???? from now on i carry a rabbits foot in my pocket, just in case… btw, i was prevented from losing a lot of money when my “golden 180 indicator”, Terry Bradshaw, wouldn’t commit to a prediction during the pregame show/AR interview.
Some points–
– Slocum needs to go. He should have been gone four years ago
– a four minute drive against a preeminent run defense, put the ball in your best players’ hand–Aaron Rodgers
– I now want the Patriots to win so that Seattle loses, but I won’t be watching the Super Bowl.
– 3 and 19–don’t go into prevent defense. That is exactly what Sherman did in 4th and 26 (overruling Ed Donatell and firing him afterward).
GOTTA LOVE the play calling of the great MCGLURPY , and the equally great SLOCUM! and the excellent choice made to have a prevent defense at the end there! Wow! If I was stupid, I would now feel smarter thanks to those three fucktards!!!!!!!!
Why weren’t they picking apart Sherman after he was obviously injured…. ?
Did suspect that he was faking it….
I was wondering the same thing. If they weren’t sure, why didn’t they run right at Sherman and see how he tackles Lacy? If he was in as much pain as he looked, he wasn’t going to make plays and if you pass short to Jordy, he would break the tackle. Belichick would have gone right after Sherman if he saw him in that much pain.
well stated Herr Wolf.
I’d add :
– putting Bostick in on onsides
– not suspecting fake fg
– not scoring in red zone….
Packers lost that game – Cheathawks did not win !
Can you start a Farve like petition to get McC fired !!!!
Unfortunately, there are way too many fucktard HOMERS in Packerland. He needed to go away 5 years ago
I know! I know! he won a SB 5 years ago, but you have to admit, he was making dumb calls back then too. The Pack got very lucky that year. The stars were aligned and A Rodgers took the NFL by storm! And Buffoon has been riding the wave ever since . . .
And so it is exactly
no, if you google “fire mike mccarthy” you come up with a number of returns, the first one that came up is a facebook page. link to it is:
https://www.facebook.com/pages/Fire-Mike-McCarthy/310362632339772
there is another poster here that gave a url but it did not come up on my latest google search, maybe it was applied for but never paid for…
The 3rd and 19 killed me. At that point I blew a gasket. The refs also screwed up the personal foul on that drive should have been a deadball foul and set the Seahawks back another 15 yards.
no, i thought it was 2nd and 31 due to the PF, then they got a good run to make it 3rd and 19, no?
Epic…epic…epic…who slides after an interception? Five minutes, and let’s stop playing, Epic fold, the worst of all time…coaach is toast.

Our defence playrd there guts out, and Mccarthy the fatfuck butt fucked them dry
FIRE THAT FAT STUPID CHEESE DICK DICKBLOWING FARTLICKING TUB OFF SHIT. PLEASE

HEY TYBLOW STEAMBLOAT!!!!!!!!!!I TOLD YOU THAT MCGLURPY WAS A FUCKTARD SHIT FOR BRAINS GAME TIME MANAGER, AND PLAY CALLER!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WELL HE SHIT THE BED HE CHOKED!CHOKEDCHOKED WHY DO WE KEEP HIM? WELL YOU KNOW DON’T YOU! THIS GUY BLEW A RETURN TO THE SUPER BOWL! And Slocum putting Bostick in there on the hands team? He had not touched a ball all year that I remember! Great placement! But you know Tyblow Steambloat you know! fuck you!
BTW Tyco, I WILL HAUNT YOU NOW . . .
LOL!!!
I guess Rodgers forgot to double check those sb reservations.
It’s ok, he got a “discount”.
from HIS agent, not the State Farm agent.
This game was lost because Aaron Rodgers was injured. He makes about 5 more first downs in this game, he scores TDs instead of field goals, and he makes plays including at the end when it really counted, if he could scramble and run. Outside of that, the Packers played a pretty good game.
I felt that they did as well, but the game management at the end? That lies on the brain trust! and they choked epically. Aaron Rodgers is the REASON that MM is a winning coach. Sure he is a great QB mentor, but game management? he shits the bed every time! Wow! this game has to go down as the worst played 4 minutes in football history by a professional team. You could not lose a game that badly if you tried.
No, he is now tied with Mike Sherman for that dubious accolade.
Seattle won simply because Rodgers was injured and was playing 70% or less.
I’d like to extend a big FUCK YOU to BRANDON BOSTICK, Sam Barrington, Ha Ha (on that piss poor 2 point attempt) Casey Hayward (turn your head around and defend the pass fuck nuts) Tramon Williams for giving up a 35 yard td (just jump up and knock the ball down) Packers pass defense for giving up 70 yards and a TD in 2 pass plays.
I make no apologies..That was the worst 8 minutes of Green Bay Packer football i’ve ever seen in my life. Fuck you
you forgot the fucktard personal foul by the dimwitted mike daniels. that took us out of the red zone on our very first drive.
conclusion: like Jimmy Johnson said in “a football life”: HIT ME IN THE HEAD W/HAMMERS IF I PICK A DUMB GUY! [also goes for hiring coaches too, Jerrah?].
Same shit different year. Same shit next year too.
I think this shit is just more proof games are fixed, after the 4th pick and lacy running backwards, and called the rest of the game, this way the y can cement wilsons ability to “come back” since he is the nfls new golden boy
Its gonna be fitting when their old golden boy brady has to go against thenew one wilson, one of them has to lose
This was the biggest failure in postseason history
Fuck. Everyone above me said it ALL. THIS LOSS IS IN THE COACHING STAFF. I’m surprised no one brought up the whiff on calling some defense against the FG fake. Who gives a fuck if they score 3 there? Just defend the fake. What else were they gonna’ do? Christ.
I’m at a loss for words. At least I’ve gotten over letting my emotions be dictated on how my teams fortunes swing. I invested a fuckton of money into this season too because deep down I believed we had a damn good chance of bringing the Lombardi home. Fuck. I attended the last 5 home games hoping that I could say I was there for most of this years Lombardi run. I was planning on scooping some RETURN TO TITLE TOWN tickets less than 90 minutes ago.
Epic, epic, epic failure. Brown County, Wisconsin, The western half of the U.P., and all of Packer Nation is she’ll shocked right now.
As usual MM “favorite” AJ Hawk was the dim wit that did not guard the eligible receiver.
they should have called time out there, as obviously not everybody was aware that an eligible receiver had checked in on the left end of the line. isn’t hawk the on-field “QB” of the ST unit? also, whenever Hawk was in on D in the 2nd half, even if only for one down, they would get a big play.
the major ref non-call came with a blatant face mask against Jordy. funny, this started happening after the pack took a sizable lead. very suspicious. and why did they never check marshawn lynch’s golden “paint-sprayed” cleats? they should have said “wear the same colored shoes as everybody else” as we can flag you for that too!
final thought: when do you think the “random” assignment of schedules will have the cheathawks visiting GB? next year? or 5 years? or??
Many things to be questioned and pondered I agree, another would be why was A J Hawk in on the D replacing Matthews in the last five minutes? Head scratcher.
I saw a Fg fake coming earlier but Carrol was saving it for a later moment. I was off guard that time my attention was going to my beer but I can’t believe the coaches were.
FIXED??????????????
hey, AR is now entering the twilite of his career. the last two years have been impacted by late-season or 2nd half of season injuries, both of them significant if not season ending.
time to think about cleaning out the coaching staff, and let TT start drafting and going out for free agents, cause we ain’t good enough to win SB, but are good enough to get low end scraps from the draft [altho TT is the best team builder in the history of the college draft]? also time to take a belichick approach too [without the spygate cheating of course]? that means using your salary cap wisely and know where and when you can maximize what you get for talent and when you can replace overpaid talent with “home made cookin'” [a la the Wes Welker affair].
It was the packers prevent offense that McCarthy was running in the 4th with 7plus minutes left in the game. Back to back 3 and outs. Nothing runs from Lacy followed by passes that wouldn’t even have got the 1st down it they were completed.
This falls solely on Fatty McButterPants. I can understand NOT going for it on the the first two times in the red zone and taking points on the road. The third time at the 31, with all the momentum in the world, you have to go for it and step on their throat. I can’t handle this trying to “buck the trend” and “I’m the smartest person in the building shit”. ALL good QB’s look to the sideline and say I want it, lets run a play. Not Rodgers and McPuddleleftonthesideline. We upped this fuck and this is what we get to show for it. A scared, useless fuck who blathers about pad level, but never holds anyone accountable. Now, on to Slocum. How is a guy who hasn’t seen the field in weeks, on your hands team? You don’t trust him to PLAY offense, you trust God’s Gift and Mr. Rodgers because of their hands, yet only one of them is on the hands team. I may be wrong but, neither might be on there. How is it that you trust him on that team, yet he cannot see the field? This thing reeks of bullshit and if that is your best hands team, then why did you draft Adams? I cannot take the bullshit and the pass that each and every Green Bay, Ashwabenon, Fox Valley reporter gives these mindless fucks. Can someone please ask that fat useless fuck and the dumb fucking GM a question of substance? For anyone who gets this far in the post; if we would’ve won at Buffalo, we would’ve hosted this game. I was at the game and NO ONE ON THAT SIDELINE TOOK IT SERIOUSLY UNTIL THE 4TH QUARTER. That is a reflection on the coach. Can we extend him for 10 more years?
I am in total agreement with you! I have been screaming for this fucktards head for 4 to 5 years! Great facilitator, PITIFUL GAME TIME COACH. This fuck blew this game period! The running plays, the time management. Why did Burnett go down and not continue running? WAS THIS GAME FIXED? Some of the plays really get my curiosity going. Why does HaHa not even attempt to knock the ball down? On and on and on. Fuck McGlurpy! He is riding Rodgers coat tails into the sunset as he wastes his talent. When is Rodgers going to take the “bull by the horns” and call this charlatan out? A very lost opportunity for the Green and Gold and for us . . .
Chad I totally agree.MM always does this.Plays not too lose,instead of playing to win.You are at the seahawks home field,1game from the superbowl,offense line playing good,stud running back good blocking full back,1 or 2 feet to go for7 points and you kick a field go ARE YOU SHITTING ME and he did it twice fuck him,fuck CAPERS for rushing 3 men on 3rd and 19 fuck SLOCUM for the fake field go.ALL out coached again
I’d give your team some props if they’d have actually won.
The Packers lost this game – big difference.
BTW, your mom is still is a dung-eating whore.
You leave 8 friggin points on the table and play conservative Offense and lame D in the last 5 minutes and you lose every time….
In my 48 years of being a fan I’ve never been so embarrassed to be associated with them.
Done w Packers – done w NFL…..
McCarthy needs to go – John Fox with the Bears will take the NFC North this year ……..
MM is truly a BUFFOON.
I thought Seattle would win handily. Green Bay came out and played great for the vast majority of the game. It’s clear our head coach is not that great at late game situations but he is at preparing a team to be ready for big games. Great game plan by Dom Capers and even better execution. Seattle has the better players, facts are facts. We have the better QB but he was hurt. Don’t believe me? Check the score… Packers dominated time of possession, turnovers and played relatively mistake free (except for the end) and still lost. This is affirmation of Seattle having the better overall roster— play like crap, give the opposition every chance to put you away and still win in the end. Oh yeah and Pete Carroll is a better in game coach.
This sucks but we have a very good and young team…just another key defensive piece or two and we are right back here next season…oh yeah, and assuming Aaron can stay healthy!
MM really sucks! This is a good team that he held back today . . .
I agree capers game plan worked–in the first half. Once again his in ability to adjust when the other team catches on in the second half assisted in this epic choke.
They will never get over this. This is shit where ESPN and NFL network do stories about and you find out that guys lives went to shit after they lost this game. Im serious, Bostic could be living in a fucking trailor and drug addict because of this loss. Im so sad for these guys right now.
Fuck him. I’d hand him a loaded handgun or a stretch of rope right now.
On the way to the airport, they should drop off Bostic and Slocum, and tell them to find their own way home.
You be sad for them, This is the NFL, the big boy league…I’m too busy being pissed
Capers & Daniels can walk home too.
That is actually a sad possibility. Bostick should have caught it. But better still is that the MM play calling and conservative game management created the situation for Bostick to fail.
Bostick should have BLOCKED the guy who did catch it & then Jordy (who was RIGHT THERE) would have caught it.
They need a sports shrink. After all this is a game, it’s not like they got ambushed and shot up by the Taliban like other nfl heroes, no?
Rodgers failed
For years I’ve been telling everybody that he was the best of all time. The GOAT. The Greatest Of All Time
But he isn’t. The GOAT would have lead this team to another touchdown, no matter how much pain he was in
He’s not the GOAT… he’s just another great qb
and man, that fucking sucks
Uhm, Rodgers was injured.
as the saying goes, “AND THERE…IS…YOUR…DAGGER!!!
i actually thought GB had it locked up. but – that’s why they play 60 minutes + OT. :)
Everyone thought the Packers had it locked up, including the Seahawks.
The only way the Packers lose that game, is to have a total meltdown in all 3 phases.
Done.
We need to move the chains once or twice on the way to a Super Bowl. The Seahawks know were going to run, So they go in all out run blits mode, and we do the same thing (twice). 2 rushes for losses, punt…Good job.
I could go on and on and on……..FUCK!!!!!
Those two running plays were by far some of the worst thought out (if they even were thought out) plays any HC has ever called! Hey lets pile into a stacked line against the #1 rushing D in the NFL! They can’t stop us! EPIC FAIL, JUST EPIC . . .
You mean the Dagger between Favre’s leg that you would like to jam up your ass right?
Or did you think we forgot you are sheep fucking VIKING fan.
Troll else ware…NAMBLA members are not welcome.
How about a huge FUCK YOU to dum capers..3rd and 19 and no fucking pressure?? I hope you fucking die..theres no other way to rid ourselves of him obviously!!
I remember Capers dialing up 3 man rushes in years past….And it didn’t fucking work out then, i don’t know why he thinks it would work now. Blitz and contain that fuck, he needs 19 yards. Don’t give him 8 seconds to find a fucking receiver.
These guys (MM DC and Slocum) remind me of the “Hanson Brothers” from the movie “Slap Shot” three dim witted fuctards playin’ “Ole time Hockey” er, I mean football . . .
i thought they vowed “never again” after they fired mike sherman’s DC when he blew the infamous 4th and 26 play vs. Philthy? [with the exact same shit “soft” D pass rush on another mobile QB, McNabb, resulting in an OT loss– the most infamous playoff loss in GB history, until today of course].
Yep!
how is it that GB acquires, back to back, two of the most talented QB ever, BF and AR, but ALSO hires, back to back, two of the most fucktarded loser POS sluff-off, scrap-heap qualified HC: MS and MM? how the fart is that possible? not only possible, but how the fuck can those two frickin’ series of coincidences happen, concurrently, in this universe? HOW? the sports world will turn over in disgust a million times before any development like this comes along, ANYWHERE ever again.
3 people i don’t want to hear a word from, MM, any Seahawk coach or player. The Seahawks act like they earned that…..Gimmee a F’ing break….We handed it to them.
I hope the Patriots destroy them.
3 people i’d like to hear from..TT, Capers, and Slocum. We all know they aren’t showing up in front of a reporter. Cowards.
Goooooo, Pats! i stopped watching that snoozer blowout before the end of the 3rd quarter! did they “hold on” for a win? anybody know? [just kidding!]
i love this shit. fans hoping a coach dies (tedtomato)…classic TP crap.
This one AIN’T on Capers. Defense played their hearts out. All on Rodgers and offense’s inability to move the ball. Dude can’t play in big games for some reason. One ring is all that stands between him and Tony Romo.
Defense played their hearts out for 3 1/2 quarters. That is very true. Then they gave up 28 points in roughly 23 minutes of play.
*2 1/2
Im not pissed at Capers, im pissed at McCarthy for his play calling in the second half. Never play the “We’ll just run out the clock” game. That’s high school and small college bull shit. Pete Caroll, as much as I hate that little shit would have went for the kill and wouldn’t have thought twice about it.
Amen!
I’m not pissed. After last season I vowed “We are done losing at Lambeau.” 9-0 at Lambeau including a playoff victory over an unbeaten on the road Cowboys team. How satisfying is it to say to Cowboys fans: “Well, you were 8-0 on the road but you haven’t come to somewhere as special as Lambeau?” Detroit decides to try to get their shit together. Doesn’t matter, Packers win the division again, four years in a row. We beat the shit out of the defending Superbowl Champs on the road. You play the game to have the opportunity to recover an onside kick to clinch the game, or to defend a two point conversion- you can’t help it if it bounces off your face mask or some prayer pass gets caught. Shit happens, the Packers have nothing to be ashamed about. Does it suck? Hell yeah it sucks, but I don’t think this team was ready to win the Superbowl yet anyway. I’m proud to be a Packer fan, proud of the team, and I consider it an honor to be the envy of the league, even if we didn’t win the game today- I wouldn’t trade being a Packers fan for being a Seahawks fan for anything in the world. Go Pack! P.S. Props to Mason for being clutch as fuck, we stuck with him through his struggles, and man did he deliver. Go Pack.
Nice sentiments! I agree btw on most every point. But MM is still a Buffoon!
Ditto
Written like a true eulogy at the GB Funeral !
lol
@pf41 – the Seahawks didn’t “earn” this win? how high AND pathetic can you be? the Packers weren’t aggressive enough at the end and Seattle capitalized on it. man up and just say your team dropped the ball.
Right…It’s because of the Seahawks, Bostic can’t catch a floating football in front of his face.
Good call.
I’m with pf4l here… Seattle didn’t win this game. They had no business being on that stage. They played like complete s*** and in the end we gave it to them. Did they capitalize on our mistakes? Yes. But, if we don’t make those bone-headed mistakes they’re nowhere near a W. It was all on us. And, in typical Seahawk fashion, they’ll tell the world that they WON it and it’s all on them… Just like that fail-marry, they can’t man up and say we had no business winning, we just got lucky and we’ll take it yada yada yada. Nope, they’ll convince everyone they deserved to win and are destined blah blah blah. Man I’m sick of those turds!
But, they’re good. Can’t deny that

and this play? all Seattle. and that Bostic non-catch was a good call – cause he didn’t catch it. WHOO! Seattle didn’t earn it, my ass. but your GB shit away until next year, sore loser. oh my God, i’m laughing. what a puss.
Didn’t click that link, because it doesn’t matter. if Bostic catches that ball, its game over.
who would click a link from a troll with a handle like “the real Jeffs dirt stinks”? probably someone using a hammer on his touchscreen with that other seattle piece of shit product, Windows 8?
google jeff ircink and you will find not only a totalpackers troll but he is also a self promoting douche bag that produces films about old people fucking ( “pass the salt”) I’m not making this shit up.
A pitiful clueless “favre” viking fan without a team has resorted to this.
Un-fucking-believeable. The defense gets four interceptions, special teams gets a fumble recovery, and you can’t score more than 22 fucking points???? This should have been a fucking blowout, 28-0 at the half instead of 16-0 with all those field goals. Turns out to be the biggest embarrassment I’ve ever fucking seen.
Run, run, pass, punt, repeat. Fuck you McCarthy. Fuck putting the nail in the game. Let them hang around some more and get some momentum. What a joke. This is the exact reason I was so skeptical in 2010. Fortunately our talent exceeded dipshits stupidity.
Why the fuck doesn’t Burnett at least try to run that int into field goal range? If that was Nick Collins he tries to take it to the fucking house! Bostick, Fuck you. High powered offense my ass. Makes me not want to watch another football game until the Packers are in the Super Bowl, and with Bufoon pusyfooting this team around the playoffs who knows if that will ever happen again.
I know man, I feel you. Total failure all around.
McGlurpy continues to waste Rodgers window. He shits the bed every tough game. Burnett? Just What the Fuck was that?
Agreed on the coach wasting a HoF QB career with mediocre game decissions.
About Burnett, he did the right thing. After all, he is NOT a ballcarrier trained in holding on to the ball even while taking multiple hits. He did his part, the ball was again with the offense, which sadly did not deliver.
no it was the ex-pizza deliveryman OC that did not deliver, at least in the second half. and that ex pizza deliveryman who “went home” at halftime was none other than: MM. [or maybe he was an ex-tollroad booth deliveryman?].
I agree MJ. At the time, I liked Burnett going down. Why gamble giving them the ball back. But, I also didn’t realize our offense would give it back to them 30 seconds later. In hind-sight, yes, maybe he should have tried to return it. But at the time, you had to think that sealed things up… Bulls*** that it didn’t. Really, really tough loss
you could perversely conclude that the previously disparaged kicker, mason C, kept us in the game all the way to the fourth quarter, LOL! maybe crosby knew something, or felt something that was lacking in the others? yep, they really did not believe they were the underdogs, but crosby had no mistaken ideas about his future with the team or nfl was riding on his performance, he was the ONLY GB person that actually left it all out on the field: five FG, one kickoff runback for 10 yards, and his 50 yarder put us into overtime, thanks to the fucktard two point pass that wasn’t knocked down [on that point, i say don’t ever put a rookie in on a critical play position if the game is on the line, esp. if he hasn’t been playing ST all that much]. thanks, Mason! hope they keep you, but draft a new punter that also has QB experience, as teams that have them have been winning the occasional important game with them.
Why do you think Wilson was crying like the metrosexual pussy he is? Because they got a gift they didnt deserve.
True that !
Im just saying the window doesn’t stay open forever. You gotta finish this shit when you have a gift like they had today. That’s what so upsetting. Now you have to wait another year to “maybe” get to this point again. I would crawl in a fuckin hole until June if I was on this team right now, there is nothing anyone could say to numb this lost if im a player. They totally shit the bed and Pete fuckin Carroll gets the last laugh again.
Exactly, it’s too hard to get here, just to piss it away, and that’s what they did, they pissed it away. In epic proportion in front of the World. Embarrassing.
Like I always say! A well coached team! . . .
Yep!
@pf41 – metrosexual pussy? “if” your guy catches the ball? please – your comments have sore-ass loser written all over them. talk about a pussy…be a man and just live with the fact that the only thing that matters is your team’s going home and Seattle is going to the SB. win or lose – they’re going and your team isn’t.
AND THERE…IS…YOUR…DAGGER!!!
Cool! your so cool! and so daring! and so tough! Real original too . . .
Gooooo, Pats! the cheathawks are going to face a team that has a real coach this time, not the fired John Fox, and a real QB, Tom Brady, not the unfinished Cam Newton…
yah your wife beating viking went home 3 weeks ago fuck face. The only dagger you care about is favre’s rammed up your ass!
Gooooooo, Pats!
thanks, mmttdcsuck. most people think so. have a great off-season!
That is right! less stress, better life. More time to do constructive things! Sorry unreal Jeff youstink! you have to wait awhile now to get your life back . . .BTW, how much are they paying you to be a fan? Nothing? I thought so. Say Russell Wilson! do you know The “real Jeff whatever? Russell Wilson: WHO?
as packer nation, we have have been blessed; we alone among all of the other nfl tribes have experienced the highest high of victorious, dynastic exultation, as well as the lowest low of ghastly playoff misfortunes. other teams fans will never experience either dramatic extreme, not once, in their entire lifetime/s. they know that even now, we are feeling far more alive than they ever will; so what will become of them? as they age, and the fan juices ebb, and they are to infirm to pack a six pack pickup tailgate to the game, they will cash in their team season tickets and turn to shakespearean drama for emotional stimulus, with wine and dinner after the theatre, then to retire to a long, late sunday “sleep in” and a late brunch served in bed by their nurse, with dessert a TV viewing of the nbc sports skating spectacular… the passion of their youth only a glowing ember, somewhere deep within their guts.
“Incredibly average” enough to beat GB for the third straight time in his career. The heart of a champion shows when the chips are down, not when everything is going your way. Wilson has the heart of a champion. Anyone playing for the Pack . . . including Rogers? The results speak for themselves. Maybe if the Pack could just learn that lesson, they wouldn’t be watching the Super Bowl at home every year
wow, you really rank us up there, BCK! apparently beating GB, at home, is more glorious of an accomplishment in your view than winning two SB on the road, where he has no 12th man?
watching the little video clip of the botched onside kick and seeing Jordy just ready to catch it until dumb ass gets in the way will make you sick…catch that and we’re all happy and drunk…planning Super Bowl parties….people say next year we will really roll, yah, maybe, maybe we get a bunch of crucial injuries, some dumb losses, who knows…this was too close to get over soon…and we better figure out this redzone shit, too many playmakers to stall out like we do in the redzone…bah….
Brutal schedule next year, too. AFC and NFC West. That’s 6 playoff caliber teams (depending on if Mannning hangs it up or not.)
I think as long as Rodgers is healthy we are always in contention, but god damn…what a missed opportunity yesterday.
Oh yeah, plus the Lions, Cowboys, a Vikings team that plays tough, and Panthers in Charlotte.
well, i am ready to play devil’s advocate: last year AR was NOT healthy, but a rusty Matt Flynn kept us in contention, esp. that boyz game that showed he had more heart than the playboys BF and AR ever did. then AR comes back for the playoffs right? and according to your theory we are back in playoffs contention? ooooops! one, and done; but with AR we were always in contention, we can take that to the bank… blah… blah… wtf?
tell u what: AR, is he stays in packer uniform, may go down as the most talented GB player ever, but neither he nor favre will ever go down as the GREATEST GB QB ever, that honor stays with bart starr, not because he was more talented but because he was so lucky to have played under the greatest developer of football fighting manhood leadership that ever lived! if starr had taken his abilities and worth to the team for granted, Vince would have knocked any OD of “self esteem” right out of him. but Vince knew he was the man: he was a good man and good study, in fact a great study, in the lombardi “leadership for winners” curriculum.
“Never in the history of human sporting conflict, have so many talents been coached by so few brains” – me, w/apologies to Winston Churchill, R.I.P.
PS – it is this very talent that has fooled pundits into declaring that “MM is at least a great QB and player development coach”. it’s like saying that Bobby Fischer’s childhood mentor, John W. Collins, was the greatest chess teacher of all time… duh…
Buhahahahaha….
Winston would be proud !
Yeah! and who was Jimi Hendrix guitar teacher? I thought so. . .
furthermore, pf41, trying yelling at your boy Bostic for the right reason. he was in there to block…NOT to catch the ball.
he “threw” [actually stood] a good “block” on the slender jordy nelson who was standing right next to him but unable to penetrate the big blocker’s “space”
then Aikenman says the ball hit him right in the chest? [it passed thru his hands and bounced off the top of his helmet you blind fart]. god i miss Madden and Summerall; i miss the old days of std. definition TV when the nfl didn’t feel they had to cheat people out of large screen flatscreen “real estate” and resolution by never showing the spot of the ball, or cut the frame off where the foot is stepping out of bounds, or cut off a replay just as the crucial frame is to show the evidence they are teasing us with, or…. or…. they just want us to feel cheated, i.e., if you spent your money on a large screen HDTV instead of on tickets, and didn’t go to the game and watch it live from 500 yards up in the “nosebleed” section’s $500 “cheap seats” LOL.
Rodgers looked past his prime during several games this year, especially this one. His accuracy has been way off. The window just keeps getting slimmer.
You know, you may be right . . . It has crossed my mind a time or two, especially following those horrible, horrible “sack years” that Rodgers endured.
If that dipshit bostick is in there to block..then get the FUCK out of the way and let the hands guys touch the ball!! Fuck you…goodbye to you bj aj tm and ss..and capers..just fucking retire already!!
the easiest play tho was the 2 point marshmallow pass that wasn’t knocked down. then a FG wins, not ties. we have all seen AR do a drive into FG range countless times. i saw it at the Met vs. the NYG a couple years ago. i just didn’t think Crosby was going to cap off a career day by making a 50 yarder to tie, oh the humanity! he deserved to be the hero that kicked the WINNING 50 yarder as regulation expired, but for the fucktard pass defense on the 2-pointer play. i thought golf was the cruelest game until now, i think FB is.
I’m disgusted with our team. We were lucky to win it 2010. Tired of being embarrassed in the playoffs.
Amen!
Rodgers got a few years left, he has to be on a better coached team, look at Brady with no big name receivers except for Gronk and a great head coach who trys to bury a team when the situation calls for it…i hope McCarthy learned a lot from this cuz he aint going anywhere and neither is his buddies Capers and Slocum…that just the Packer way…this loss is crushing….
Let’s try the Worst Playoff Losses In #Packers History List again:
5. 2007 NFCCG
4. SBXXXII
3. “The Catch II” by T.O.
2. 4th-and-26
1. Today
Nope! At his presser, he stated that he had “NO ISSUES WITH HIS PLAY CALLING” WTF!!!!!! This guy truly is a BUFFOON!!!!!!!!!
I was just thinking that this definitely knocks the old “4th and 26” off the top of the list. Didn’t Mike Sherman get run out of town for losing home playoff games and having an epic collapse on the road?
How about we all chip in and rent a billboard in Green Bay reading : THIS ONE’S ON YOU MIKE !
funny, and Mike Sherman would definitely know that he is NOT that Mike… first time shame on them, second time, shame on us…
also, i have never heard MM utter one thought to anyone about his predecessors, both famous, and infamous? this guy definitely is NOT into packer history. he also has a problem with numbers, like what is the score and how many minutes are left in regulation, and when does a six min. drill look like a two min. drill?
this just reminds me of what i read about MM in wikipedia: GB mgmt. were in a panic to replace mike sherman, who had shown he was doubly bad at wearing two hats as he was with just the one hat, i.e. HC, then double duty as GM as well, until he was fired and replaced first by TT as GM and by MM as HC.
now we know what could have happened if Lombardi had played it “safe” and gone for the FG tie on fourth down in the icebowl? then it goes to OT, and quite likely the history, and future, of pro football would have changed forever, i.e. no “Lombardi trophy” moniker for the SB, prob. would have been named the Lamarr Hunt trophy.
i have seen this before in sports, both athletic and sedentary, like chess: if something, or someone, manages to get in your head, like MM’s, it is all over. you can’t shake it off sometimes. e.g., andy roddick got federer in his head, and even after he got a competent coach, he got better, but the losses to federer just got closer, more lengthy, more tortuous, more painfully lasting… but hey, that is the nature of sporting games, and why we love to play them, and to watch them.
i think, after today’s game, all nfl games should be preceded with the gladiatorial salute: we who are about to die salute you… just before the national anthem.
and i will be thrilled when the cheathawks get past all these gauntlets, and ALMOST become the only team in over ten years to win back to back SB. because that is what it is all about: winning, “there are no points for second place” – Tom Cruise, in the movie “Top Gun”
Bitch, whine, & moan….this coach sucks, fire this guy, clean house yada frickin yada. MM has always excelled at making games closer than they needed to be….he has never gone dagger in a close game…ever. Tell us something we dont already know.
The brutal reality is that if you cant get a fucking yard or two and have to settle for a pair of 18 & 19yd FGs…then you dont deserve to be a champion. If you cant go into Buffalo and win…and get violated there instead….costing you home field….you dont deserve to be a champion. If you dont have guys that can make plays in crunch time…you dont deserve to be a champion. We folded like a cheap tent from MM on down.
The only benefit that comes out of this debacle is, IMO, the FACT that we pretty much wiped away our inferiority complex we had vs Seattle or San Fran. After dominating the way we did for most of the game….we’ve squashed that elephant. This is one that got away but will serve us well in the future because I dont see us imploding….I think it emboldens us. We lost this battle but took a giant step in the War. We’ll be back.
you mean “we’ll be back IN SEATTLE”? you can’t mean that, what with the elephant of being dominated quashed. won’t THEY be back, in GB to lose like they lost the last playoff game they played in GB? many years ago?? AR was throwing like Cam Newton early in the 2nd Qtr., he was already seemingly on “cruise control” when he got two free plays and a wide open WR in the end zone. the score should have been 27-0 at the half if AR had learned from his coach that you have to put the petal to the metal when you are going for the kill. his coach has no killer instinct, and neither does the california dude. talented but wasted talent on a guy with no killer instinct, and the only coach i’ve seen at the pro level who projects no “fire in the belly” and never refers to his great predecessors who did have it, in fact i have never heard MM utter the word “coach lombardi” one fucking time in his whole 10 year tenure there.
Amen!
dude…decaf, man! lol All I am saying is that we slayed the inferiority complex the entire team, organization, and fans have been infected with the past three yrs that we could never match their physicality or compete with them. If it wasnt a track meet…none of us believed we had a chance. They’re not invincible anymore and mentally….they dont own us anymore. We went into their house and gave as good as we got…and from the player’s perspective…that is half the battle. Whether MM will stop being a pussy is another conversation…I just think the realization that we were dominating in every facet before the collapse will serve us well going forward….because we never really believed we were top shelf elite & now we know we are. And I think this is EXACTLY the kind of epiphany & kick in the ass we needed to get over the hangover we’ve been in since the Giants loss in the ’12 playoffs. I think next yr we’ll be obsessed & possessed with making this right…our organization is too strong & stable….we will be a machine & a motivated one at that. Count on it.
I agree totally. I want to see fire next year.MM needs to go to Lombardi school.
Mike McCarthy is a fat, walleyed dipshit who is constantly out coached. His stupidity has been covered by having QB’s Favre and then rodgers running the offense. Mike’s play calling and clock management is awful.
Ain’t got enough fingers to point at all the fucked up plays. no intensity at all 2nd half. GB started to party at halftime instead of finishing game 2nd half.
with AR playing like shit thru most of the 2nd qtr., a real coach, like jeff fisher, would have kicked their butts at half time and said “guess what i am taking AR off cruise control” and putting matt flynn in to start the 2nd half. THEN we’ll see how it goes, since obviously AR has stopped playing since about 5 minutes into the 2nd quarter!
maybe we can trade MM and co. for a real coach like Jeff Fisher. if the Rams balk, throw in AR too, for a few extra first round draft picks.
Against teams like Seattle you have to go for the throat and the pack didn’t. Their defense is unbelievable. I would go as far as saying they are top 3 all time. Packers left too many points and opportunities out there.
Two biggest plays of the game were Rodgers pick after the haha interception and Burnett going down. If Rodgers hits Cobb there we get at least 3 and maybe 7 and the game would probably be over. Burnett going down I just don’t understand at all. Clearly didn’t know the time left and had a lot of space. Cost us more potential points as well as precious field position. And ya I agree let Rodgers close the game out for you down the stretch.
Let’s also not overlook jordy Nelson not being able to catch all of a sudden. He dropped the ball that changed the location of this game from Green Bay to Seattle (in buffalo) and dropped a first half td which would have pushed us even further ahead.
From one of the biggest wins in franchise history to possibly the worst defeat. Absolutely gross feeling. Gonna be tough to watch the super bowl and a loooooonnnnng offseason.
Can’t Sleep……
Doesn’t anyone on the Packers training staff know the
HEIMLICH maneuver-“What the hell’s going on out here.”
McCarthy is not a leader of Men; he is Neville Chamberlain, not Churchill.
None of the preceding Packer post season meltdowns were as monumental as this- late hit by Sweezy, unsportsmanlike conduct, should have been tacked on to yardage loss, just like the one against Daniels in first half. Where was MM on that? Should have been 2nd and 46, even Capers may have been able to prevent that.
Sherman has one arm dangling- do they throw a quick out to Jordy and test him to tackle/cover? Not to my knowledge.
We need to file a class action malpractice suit.
I was just starting to get over the playoff loss to the Giants at Lambeau in 2008 and now this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m done with them. A Ram’s fan called me after the game and said my team was no better off this year than the Rams. It is better to not even make the playoff than to suffer through a debacle like this game!!!!! Thompson needs to make a statement and fire McCarthy and some other coaches. There is NO excuse for a loss like that. NONE!!!!!!
Fritz, you nailed it. Just compare McCarthy’s presser after this game to any that Lombardi gave after a loss, any loss and you’ll see why McCarthy has to go.
Amen to that!
I agree that Wilson probably isn’t as good as his record and all of that says, but in the end you can’t argue with his numbers. They said during the game that he hasn’t played a game in which his team didn’t have the lead at some point in the game since his days at NC State. That’s pretty nuts. But, yes, I think at some point he’ll become just another average QB. To be honest, I got really annoyed with him after the game, but maybe that was just my extreme anger kicking in.
The other thing is that at some point their coordinators have got to go. They’re talking about the DC heading to ATL… Who knows it that’ll happen now that they’re playing in 2 weeks again, but hopefully their staff breaks up sometime.
It’s the second half of the championship game…. R E L A X. They did a great job at that and lost. What a bunch of dumbasses. How can you sit of a whole half and watch the game slip away from you and not change anything. So stupid it is unbelievable. It was like they weren’t watching the same game we were. They don’t deserve to be in the SB. They got outplayed and outcoached. Hats off to the team that hung in there, took risks, and played to win.
yeah, u just reminded me: every time the TV shoots MM, he has his head buried in a play card, while every time they got PC on camera, his head is on a swivel he is looking up and down the field, checking everything and everybody, and is very active and involved as he scurries over to confer with one of his coaches. was same for Jim Harbaugh? somebody on TP posted that he is checking the McD delivery menu, maybe in jest, but it seems to be about as useful as what MM is actually doing? maybe if MM would hire an OC to radio in the playbook, he could straighten up, get his head out of his ass, and get a feel for: the flow of the game, what the score is, what the clock says, and develop some FUCKING SITUATIONAL AWARENESS!
PRETENDERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
McCarthy needs to pack his bags for Atalanta
Looking forward to more heartbreak and heartache in 2015 from the Green Bay Pretenders!
R-E-L-A-X…anyone remember the beginning of the season when they looked like shit and everyone was like nooooooo just wait. Well…when there is smoke there is fire.
McFatFuck play calling had done it again. These were the biggest game changer from the game. 1) not going for the TD on 4th and inch. 2) Not prepared on the FG fake and 3) not letting Rodgers win the game. What the fuck kind of coaching that at the last 5 mins. You have the best qb to play the game and you run it 3 straight time, in a loaded box ?
I am at a loss of words at some of the shit spewing out of some of your mouths. Fire mccarthy, trade Aaron rodgers, blah blah blah. You do realize that they just lost to one of the best post salary cap/free agency teams the NFL has seen on the road with their best player still hurt? A game they were supposed to have no chance in. Go out and find a better coach available right now. I dare you. That being said it was hard to watch the final five minutes of that game. But hindsight is 20/20. You can say put the ball in your best players hands and do some play action passes. But smart money says to run the ball and drain clock so that a team with little offensive explosiveness like the seahawks has as little time as possible to score two TDs. I wasn’t a huge fan of them playing passive on defense there at the end, I would have liked to have seen them keep attacking. There are several factors that lead to this loss, they needed TDs in the red zone, the dropped onside kick, ect. When you play a team as good as Seattle you need to play almost perfectly. Unfortunately they didn’t come through. I think calls for peoples heads need to be chimed down a bit, after all, 14 other NFC teams were not playing yesterday for a reason
“You do realize that they just lost to one of the best post salary cap/free agency teams the NFL has seen on the road with their best player still hurt? A game they were supposed to have no chance in.”
Then lose by a lot, don’t blow it with 5 minutes left. The way they played until the last 5 minutes negates your statement, therefore they cant use those excuses anymore.
“run the ball and drain the clock”? kato, do you own a 1970’s vintage TV? because obviously you were not aware of the amount of “drain” by running out the clock that six minutes takes? so if you are assuming they were running a “two” minute drill because the clock [that was not visible on YOUR tv screen?] had about two minutes left, you would be well served to throw your current 17 inch small screen tv in the trash and buy a new high def widescreen TV, no? then you would have been screaming at your tv like all the other posters here, as THEIR screens showed MM was calling a two min. “drain” drill against a SIX [NOT 2!] min. clock!!!
This is the worst let down in sports I have ever experienced.
Slocum (Can we actually acquire a good ST coach?) needs to go, Hawk (Sorry man, we need talent not durability) needs to go, Brad Jones (How the fuck did you get millions of dollars to stay on the team) needs to go, Bostick (Fucker doesn’t even play but somehow he’s on hands team) needs to go.
Draft talent that can outweigh McCarthy’s faults and take advantage of SF losing their coach and Seattle not being able to sign everyone in the coming season.
Nothing is going to change with McCarthy (And that has proven it limits Rodgers), we (TT) need to go around it.
You don’t win football games on raw talent anymore, you win by exposing other teams faults. An average team that doesn’t fuck up will beat a good team who does any day.
wait a minute. didn’t Brad Jones turn out to be a good move to ST? do you know who knocked that ball out on the cheathawks kick return? yep, it was that guy Brad Jones, leading to a packer red zone score. i for one, LIKE his ST playing a lot this year. esp. since they rarely need or use him on D, since his switch to ST.
Gordon Bombay: “You think losing is funny?”
Les Averman: “Well not at first but once you get the hang of it.”
I’ll be a Raider fan this upcoming season, I hear they say losing ain’t so bad.
i hear most life sentence inmates say “jail food ain’t so bad” after they’ve been there a few years…
“When i cover a receiver like J Kearse at the end of the game, i like to let them catch the TD pass and then proceed to tackle him in the end zone,” -Tramon Williams
THEY BROKE MY HEART. No one really thought we’d win, lots of “experts” though we’d be blown out. When the second half started, I was screaming keep your foot on the gas….& we BLEW IT. We did everything possible to lose this game.
Thanks for a laugh with all the new MM names; I think McButterpants is my new favorite.
When i have the opposing defense pinned back on 3rd and 19, i like to only rush 3 to give that QB ample time to wait until he finds an open receiver.” – Dom Capers
How many times can you say “EPIC FAIL” to make a point? This fucktard continues to repeat this scheme over and over, with the same fucking results . . .
*offense
Burnett sliding instead of running? Rodgers not checking out of Buffoons buffoonery? Matthews replaced by Hawk at the end? Big question: IS THIS GAME WE ALL ENJOY FIXED?
That reminds me, can someone tell me why Mathews was standing on the sideline at the end of a game that decides if the Packers go to the Super Bowl?
” I signed Brandon Bostick as a UDFA, it’s what i do, find diamonds in the rough, it’s all part of my genius as a talent evaluator.” – Ted Thompson
well, it is not BB’s fault that TT also signed a very “talented” ST coach? did BB submit that hands team pkg. to MM to sign off on? did MM actually sign off on it? did MM even speak to ST coaches at all before the game? did MM even show up at the office that whole fucking week of prep?? TT needs to update THAT talent evaluation right there, right now.
Amen!
Wilson will sign for at least $25 million a year. Sherman only costs them something like $3 million a year now and it will jump to $13 million. Harvin will cost them $8 million against the cap next year and the next two years after. They had to let go of Golden Tate to sign Harvin. Lynch has a LOT of miles on him and has a history of holding out for more money.
which brings me back to the idiotic system of compensation. if AR wins a SB in 2010 then reward him with a big contract but for one year. if he doesn’t win one in 2011 then cut the annual compensaton by one third. etc. i thought it was all about “what have you done for me lately?” guess that is more nfl BS hype.
also, when some insurance crooked co. is allowed to pad his compensation for work outside his nfl contract, should that not be illegal? what is some arab oil co. was paying him to work on building a sports league in the desert, and they paid him so much that he could fly back to GB every sat. nite? isn’t that allowing outside interests to steal the hard earned money the fans pay to fund teams and players’ fat paychecks in the age of post FA court decisions?
another thing. why does the nfl reward losers with highest draft picks ON EVERY ROUND IN THE DRAFT?
why not use a system of random selection of order? at least for the second thru seventh rounds? each, and all, rounds should be independently randomized. heck that would be more entertaining for the fans too! the perfect venue would be at a WS of poker casino’s roulette wheel, as those wheels in NV have 32 slots.
Aaron Rodgers is supposed to be the best player in football. His opposing QB at one point was 1 for 8 with 2 pics; yet the best Arodge could muster was 3 points in the second half. He sounded a bit frustrated with the play calling in his press conference. Excuse me but Arodge you DO HAVE THE OPTION of changing the play. How about going after an obviously injured Sherman with a few quick slants to Jordy?
I know Arodge was hurt, but all that really effected was his ability to run. We didnt need him to run on Sunday. We needed him to be accurate and to pick apart a secondary that was in deep shit because our offensive line was giving our supposed HoF QB ALL DAY to throw.
Everyone wants to blame Favre for sucking in the playoffs most of his career, well guess what? Arodge is no better.
Also, someone tell me why our highest paid defensive player and supposed super star LB was on the sideline during much of the Seahawks last 2 drives????
If Sean Slocum is still a coach on this team next year I will be finding better things to do on my Sundays…
not the only thing both QB’s have in common: their similar HC– MM is a clone of favre’s coach, Mike Sherman [but without the high IQ]. both QB’s head coaches let them pass on practice and workouts that the ordinary mortals had to do… and this lack of staying tuned up eventually came back to bite both QB’s in the butt at the worst possible times. also it looks like AR is developing “favre syndrome” maybe as a result of an OD of “self esteem”? i found it troubling how he was smiling and chatting with the enemy players esp. in the first half. AR is a fool if he thinks the likes of sherman want to be friends; sure, they want to charm and disarm the biggest weapon their challengers have.
btw is there a “Total Patriots” site? i would like to see if cheathawks CB Sherman is making similar overtures to Tom Brady, LOL: TB has been around the block a few more times than AR, so i doubt it is going well for any budding “relationship” there.
i want to retract my earlier comment to pf41 about how GB didn’t give it away. i will AGREE with what you stated – that they “gave the game away”. which is actually worse in and of itself. still – Seattle DID earn the win by capitalizing on the horrible play of GB in the last 5 minutes. you can’t take that away from Seattle. and Matthews said he had a leg injury but wasn’t specific.
Crawling out of bed this morning was a lot harder than I thought it would be.
amen, rebelgb!
TIL the winningest QB (per games played) to ever play the game is “average.” There’s salty, and then there’s salty.
