NFC Championship GB@Seattle (1 Viewer)

I mentioned this at the time, and none picked up on it.

When Wilson threw back across the field in a desperation try for the 2pt conversion, had GB intercepted this they would have walked into the end zone for two points and the win. It's by no means certain the pass by Wilson was the right decision at the time. It worked, but there was a lot of luck involved.
The defense can't score points on a 2pt conversion...so what do you mean?
Apology to both of you- I didn't know this.
The defense CAN score on a 2-point conversion. It is called a conversion safety and it is worth 1 point. However, in college the defense can take possession and advance the ball. In the NFL, once the defense takes possession on a conversion attempt, the play is over. While it is still possible for an NFL defense to score a 1 point safety, the only way they can is if they recover the ball in the other teams endzone. So the ball would have roll or be carried 100 yards backwards by the offense, and then recovered by the defense.

One day these nfl coaches will stop kicking field goals. Especially on the road against a favorite.
You and I seem to share a brain on this. What more does it take to get teams to look at the math?
A lot more soul-crushing losses like this and these cowards getting fired.

 
In all seriousness, I think this game was called very, very well. Maybe the best officiated game I've watched in a while.

Good posting...it's amazing how many people you get fired up in here. Good luck in 2 weeks...most Packer fans will be pulling for your Hawks.

The. Defense. Can't. Score. Points. On. A. PAT. Period.

I wonder if anyone is going to interview Capers for a hc job.
The sad thing is, he mostly coached a great game, but rushing only 3 on that 3rd and 19 was ######ed, and they played it way too soft on the last two drives in regulation.
That play really stuck out to me as a person with no horse in the race. For the life of me I will NEVER understand giving a NFL QB time for :coffee: while he waits for a wr to get open. Reminded me of the Eagle game many years back when Packers had them at 3rd and 25 and let them complete that one also.

Wasn't that the oft mentioned famous 4th and 26?

Playing not to lose with over five minutes left; oops. Let's do that differently next time.
Will anyone ever learn?
Yeah that GB interception where the guy lays down instead of gaining 20+. Baffling.
I thought back to the guy for San Diego that made a pick to seal a win for Marty Schottenheimer and LaDainian Tomlinson but instead of just going down he tried to advance the ball. Later he stated "every time I gets the rock I takes it to the house." Troy Brown begs to differ. That guy shoulda gotten down like the Green Bay guy, but the Green Bay guy shoulda tried to take the rock, well somewhere.

so did the packer players. After game interviews they were all saying "at five minutes we thought we had this"

I don't think it was a coaching issue - it was the packers lost their edge, their drive. they dominiated the game, and then started celebrating.

The seahawks decided that they still wanted to win. And the Packers had not stepped on their throat, gone for the kill on offense.

Good for the seahawks.

Could have been 4th down.. I'm 47 so my mind isn't what it once was ;)

Yep. No killer instinct. Too many nice guys.
 
On that INT with 5 minutes left, the Packers DB went down pretty quickly, like the game was over, and I can't help but wonder how deep he could have returned it. That is a play no one will talk about, but they could have gotten another 3 with a decent return on that.

It doesn't matter. We can point to several instances of plays that were like that, but in the end it doesn't matter. They had the game in the bag but instead tried to play safe and conservative and went into a shell.

Same crap every year: make playoffs - DEF collapses. Ughh.

I accept you apology for doubting the hawks bro.

 
It's weird how nobody's pimping Lacy as Lynch's equal anymore
Did anyone even do that? I thought that was a Seahawks fan SAYING GB fans were doing that and then the rest of the Seahawks fans attacked GB fans for saying that based upon what that first Seahawks fan said.

I think it was you, wasn't it? Since we're BFF now you can tell me. :)

Exactly what I was saying ... Guy went down as if there was 30 seconds left in the game.

Packers played scared and it cost them the game. Even with Sherman hurt they were afraid to throw the ball in the 4th Q

Sux because Seahawks were horrible and did not deserve to win that game but the pack was afraid to put it away.

One guy did, and then we jumped on it as laughable. Then a lot of packer fans got annoyed because they didn't think it was that laughable. I'm pretty sure I was involved somewhere.

Just like Russell told us (between his bawling), it was just another God game. Next year GB head to church and you'll be fine.

Grab a tissue Russell and go hug your wife..oh nvm.
Whoa. Someone needs their dipey changed.
