So, am I the only Packers fan

[bojesphob]

who really isn't upset this morning?

Yeah, the end of the game sucked, and the D and special teams not really showing up, but seriously, considering the fact that they made it to the NFC championship team and beat the Cowboys in the playoffs for the first time since the Ice Bowl, I'm pretty happy with how the team performed this year. Not the best ending, but a lot of really good games, and Rodgers should be a shoe in for MVP.

Of course, I should say it would have been nice to have a reason to watch the Super Bowl (for me, this will be the most unwatchable in recent memory now), but not everybody can win and go. NFC North division (again), 17 of the last 22 seasons in the playoffs, NFL MVP for what should be the second season in the last 4.....

I don't know, I'm an optimist. Rodgers doesn't have a big contract coming, the Packers are well under cap (again), and they made it to the NFC Championship game. A few more draft picks, a couple of rookies making their sophomore improvements, and maybe a nice FA pickup like Peppers again and I think they'll be right back in the hunt of things again next year.

Let's just hope that the schedulers don't feel the need to make the Seahawks an honorary NFC North team again next season. Once a season is enough...

[Drdduet]

I'm a Packers fan too. I'm not a fan of the way the team believed they had this game "in the bag" with 5 minutes to play. It's kinda of comical--at right around 5 minutes to play, after an interception by the Packers, cameras panned to a content Clay Matthews tending to his hair, a Mike McCarthy congratulating players with a sense of "we're going to the SuperBowl," and Packers hugging each other like the game was over. Then the Packers take the field and run the ball three times and punt--and they don't seem to care.

I don't think it was the defense or the special teams--the failure was bigger than that--after the interception they believed the game was over with just over 5 minutes left. This was a failure by McCarthy, and the whole Packer team.

[timelovesahero]

I'm not sad here. (deep packer house) I was deeply conflicted with how the game ended. RWilson would have been the only one to blame (from most POVs) for the 'hawks horrible half, but he was the one who was able to steer them towards that sliver of light that could still barely be seen at the end of the tunnel...
wife is feeling even better today... we are both Wilson fans ( he's from our RVA, went to UW which is our house alma mater.

[titletowncards]

McCarthy = Andy Reid in the playoffs. Way too conservative when it comes to crunch time. If you're happy with Division titles with the best QB/Player in the NFL good for you. I expect more.
Epic failure by the McCarthy and the coaching staff.
Props to the Def. for playing an outstanding game, they got tired toward the end and we gave Seattle chances to win.
I'm not saying we fire McCarthy, but this is who he is. A good coach not a great one.

[ChasescardCave]

I agree with you man. I'm really not sad or disappointed, just confused. We had that game in the BAG. I'd say it was the packers losing the game rather than the seahawks winning it. As for bostick, even though he said he was only there to block, you have to make that catch. Most high schoolers would have caught that, and he's a professional player. Inexcusable.

I guess it's being a fan of one of the most successful teams in NFL history to be able to say that 4 straight division titles, a Super Bowl win, 2 NFL MVP awards in the last 4 years and an NFC Championship game appearance this year can be a major disappointment. I guess my expectations are different. I want them to be competitive (they are), I want them to do well (which they did until the 4th quarter yesterday), and I want them to be dedicated to trying to be competitive again next year (which they will be). Maybe it's because I live in the Bungles area that makes me realize how lucky I am to have been a fan of a great franchise like the Packers for the last 27 years.... And, that I wasn't around to be a fan of the Pack from the late 60's through to the mid 80's.... I mean, HOF caliber WR in Sterling Sharpe before Favre came and nothing for him. Lofton (actually in the HOF) had to leave and go to Buffalo and Oakland to be able to be on a competitive team...

Was yesterday disappointing? Massively. Am I proud of them for even making it to that point and actually making it a game when everybody said they had no chance? Definitely. I guess I must be in the minority with that viewpoint cause everywhere I look, it's like this season was a major letdown for most Packers fans and I just don't understand that considering that everybody was saying they didn't have any chance at all.

[milwaukeeb]

I'm disappointed but not crushed as well. I was sure we were going to lose going into the game anyway. The only reason I'm hurt today is because victory was ours from the opening whistle.

1)We have many years ahead of us of being in contention for a Super Bowl.

2)We will be better next year with a healthy Rodgers and no losses of key players. (We have the $ to sign both Cobb and Bulaga)

3)Seattle will most likely lose Lynch and they will have to rely much more heavily on R.Wilson which isn't what you want as a Seahawk fan. This team is built a certain way for a certain reason. Winning with Wilson in the pocket will be tough.

4)Hopefully McCarthy will FINALLY learn that being unbelievably conservative wins you jack. Oh, and you have AARON RODGERS AS YOUR QB!!!!!!!!

5)We totally dominated what was supposed to be a better team on what was supposed to be the hardest place to play. We f 'ed up at MULTIPLE points in the game, that is why Seattle won. We will learn and move on.

No one is successful all of the time; that's just life. On to 2015!

[JPirog]

I'm still pretty ticked. McCarthy needs to learn to be more aggressive with his play calling. I've never been a fan of his and this doesn't help any lol. I would feel better today honestly, had the Packers just gotten killed like everyone expected. But the game they had, man...heart breaking.

Here's to hoping this is a chip on their shoulder for next season and resigning Cobb.

I hear you. I'm a fan as well. But for me, all those accolades you listed are meaningless without a few Super bowl rings. I'll never be content with them just making the playoffs.

[bojesphob]

Denial of what? That they lost? No, I know they lost and accept it. That they blew the game? No, I know they lost the game because of some pretty basic/stupid mistakes. What else am I in denial of? They got the conference championship game, which means they were one of the 4 best teams this year. 28 other teams wish they were there to lose!

I hear you. I'm a fan as well. But for me, all those accolades you listed are meaningless without a few Super bowl rings. I'll never be content with them just making the playoffs.

Meaningless? I wouldn't call them meaningless. Not as meaningful? Ok, I would agree with that. I see teams like the Raiders, Bengals, Browns, Lions, etc etc etc etc etc that haven't won a playoff game or haven't even gone to the playoffs since the Packers last didn't go to the playoffs and am glad that the team I chose to root for is continually a contender in this league of parity.

Yes, but life isn't all about success, it's about putting yourself in a position to be successful. Brady is about to go to his 6th Super Bowl and if he loses he and the Patriots will still be one of the all-time teams/QB's. We will not win the Super Bowl every year but as long as we have a real shot at it is all you can ask for. Staying a successful franchise will eventually lead to Super Bowls, hell we already have 4.

Here is what haunts me still. Just pulled it off of my DVR. Burnett with ball in hand after the INT. Picture says it all....

Double this!

[prospectorgems]

Not sad. I knew the Packers would not win. I honestly was hoping for more a blowout opposed to how they lost the game. I am a fan of Russell Wilson since he played for the Badgers so I will be rooting him on in hopes of winning back to back SB's.

Man, that is a lot of open field ahead. What the hell?

[JPirog]

I didn't realize he had so much open field in front of him.

[freethrowtommy]

I was more disappointed by the way the game played out. I accepted before the game that the Packers were dogs and there was a good chance the season would be over.

But to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory just hurt like no other. I didn't think that the best defensive performance of the year would be wasted like this.

So many miscues where just avoiding one probably wins the game.

I don't think anyone should be fired or released. The one saving grace is the Packers have a team that can hang with anyone. That is a good sign.

[ChicoCheese]

Just when I was getting over the loss and coming to grips with it, I see that picture of Morgan Burnett with the INT and the whole right side of the field open. GAHHHHHHH. We should be the Super Bowl. I think we could have taken the Patriots and won it all.

[beckendor07]

I remember seeing that and I was in awe. It's like he thought there was a minute left and the offense would just run the clock out.

I agree with Tommy that no one should be fired or released, that would just be an unnecessary knee jerk reaction

[titletowncards]

Yes but..........

Can't say Rodgers won't get injured or other won't be injured as in 2012 and 2013.

4)Hopefully McCarthy will FINALLY learn that being unbelievably conservative wins you jack. Oh, and you have AARON RODGERS AS YOUR QB!!!!!!!!
Never.................

[ilovethelakings]

I am not upset, but I am flabbergasted at how it ended. So many things came into play for that loss to happen. The football gods were just not on the Packers side this time around.

[jbraccia]

I'm not sure how you can say you're not upset this morning as a Packers fan. We had our tickets to the Super Bowl punched if we could just execute a few more plays. Not only that we were about to pull off something nobody thought we could do, beat the Seahawks in Seattle, a hot Seahawks team at that.

Rodgers, Nelson, Matthews are all getting a bit older, three to four years left of prime play from those guys. Not only that the last time we were in a NFC title game was what four years ago. To be satisfied with losing at this stage is to take for granted how often these conference championships come around.

We have a much tougher schedule next year, playing against the NFC west, Peppers is a year older, we don't build through free agency and Cutler maybe leaving Chicago, uh oh. Plus Detroit is a very solid division opponent with a fantastic coach. It's going to be quite the challenge to replicate this years success next year.

[jbraccia]

The Green Bay Packers’ opponents for 2015 are as follows:

HOME: Chicago Bears, Detroit Lions, Minnesota Vikings, Dallas Cowboys, Kansas City Chiefs, St. Louis Rams, San Diego Chargers, Seattle Seahawks

AWAY: Chicago Bears, Detroit Lions, Minnesota Vikings, Arizona Cardinals, Carolina Panthers, Denver Broncos, Oakland Raiders, San Francisco 49ers

[BAMBAM]

McCarthy = Andy Reid in the playoffs. Way too conservative when it comes to crunch time. If you're happy with Division titles with the best QB/Player in the NFL good for you. I expect more.
Epic failure by the McCarthy and the coaching staff.
Props to the Def. for playing an outstanding game, they got tired toward the end and we gave Seattle chances to win.
I'm not saying we fire McCarthy, but this is who he is. A good coach not a great one.

Good analogy but having lived through Andy Reid and his bull headed approach to the game I'd take McCarthy over Reid every day of the week. However, kicking a FG from inside the 1 on 4th and goal in a game of that magnitude makes you wonder what his players think because as an outsider I'm shaking my head at how gutless that was. Hate Belichick or Pete Carroll all you want but they both go for it in that situation without hesitation. It sends a message to the other team and more importantly to your team that you have faith in them and even if they don't make it that your defense will make up for it. Good players will respond to that kind of coaching. It tells them you believe not only in your system but them as well. It's a shame because Dom Capers put a hell of a game plan in to give the Pack a chance and McCarthy blew it. Based on what Erin Andrews said McCarthy told her at the half it sounded like he thought the Seahawks would just roll over in the second half.

[KevJo]

Why did they not play Starks more? He seemed to be blasting through the hole. Now Lacy looked like he was hesitant after the hand off. I don't have to tell any of you what type of back Lacy needs to be, look at his body shape and size. Top it all off looked like Lacy was banged up and sat on the bench for some time. Brought him out when we were trying to run the clock down and he looked SLOOOOOOOW and hesitant. I think Starks was not used enough.

Don't know if everyone who's pointing to this as the reason why the Packers lost hasn't watched the last three games the Packers have played or what. First off The Bucs, stopped the Packers twice on fourth and goal from the one, and three times from the 1 in one of those possessions, the next game the Lions stopped us and the game after that the Cowboys stopped us.

Taking the points in this situation was a smart choice backed by the fact that they haven't been able to punch it in lately from that distance. The Packers lost because they lost focus during the last four minutes, and the Seahawks figured out that the Pack can't defend the read option.

[beerguy214]

I was hoping the Packers would of won yesterday because they are the closest team to me that was in the game.I am from Detroit and we have never been to a superbowl or even won a playoff game since 1991.Talk about heartbreaking but every year we always say this is the year.lol.So after 49 superbowls we might make it in superbowl 100 when I will be gone.lol.

If they win the game nobody is talking about anything negative BUT they didn't. You can't coach big games and big moments in the past or you probably won't be coaching many big games in the future. To quote Herman Edwards "you play to win the game". Not saying that McCarthy not going for it cost them the game as that's hardly the case BUT it did contribute to the loss. He pretty much told his team he doesn't think they could gain half a yard in a tough spot. I don't care how tough the defense is, that's way too much respect to think your team can't gain 18" with Lacey, Kuhn or even Rodgers falling forward. Even if they don't make it he's giving Seattle the ball in the worst possible spot and his defense had been playing well for the past month or so. He may not ever admit it but I bet he wishes he went for it in that spot.

[jbraccia]

Part of the problem was Rodgers was still lining up in shotgun even down there and he's not an option on 4th and inches plays. What gets me is that you would have thought that this team would have practiced the 4th and inches scenario in practice until they got it right, apparently McCarthy didn't think this problem was fixed in practice.

Either way this is a heartbreaking team loss that shouldn't have happened.

My question is, other than high blood pressure, what does staying upset about it do? Does it change the fact that they lost? Nope.... Does it diminish the things they actually did well this year? I don't think it did. Does it make the Seahawks play worse against New England? I would gather no.
Does worrying about what they do next year make it any better? As a fan, do as the team does: stand up, brush the dirt off, and look forward to another chance to watch (and in the case of the players, play in) another year of football.

I watched a game I enjoyed (most of) last night, and today I get to keep preparing for my daughter that is due in about 4 weeks, have to worry about whether my seriously ill 95 year old grandfather is going to be able to see his great granddaughter, and I get to look forward to getting this bad boy in the mail that I just hit in a group break on Friday night:

Life's too short to stay upset at one game...

[chansen10]

I still can't get over the loss. Just a few things Mccarthy is a damn good coach, but has no balls. He was playing not to lose.. What separates Bill from Belichick from Mccarthy is Bill will play to win the game. He'll let Brady go out there and throw the ball instead of running the clock down. Bill also has the balls to go for it on 4th and inches from the goal line (actually think taking the points was the right call). I don't think GB does a good job adjusting at half when they have the lead. Saw it happen in ATL and now in SEA. On the fake fg when your already up 16, why would you play for the block.. Serious question? I had a feeling it was coming. Seattles first time in the redzone all game, third quarter dwindling down.. But I'm even more disappointed in AJ Hawk.. Did anyone not see him look that lineman down and instead of pick him up in coverage he goes after the punter. Tramon williams was running down the punter and it was 4th and 10. Hawk should have maintained coverage on the lineman..Offensively I'm just confused why the hell we didn't attack sherman when he was hurt and than secondly why didn't we throw the ball into the middle of the field more? Literally the middle of the field was wide open Cobb and Richie Rodgers were killing it in the middle of the field. I just don't understand the play calling sometimes, it seems like everytime Lacy gets hot we just stop handing him the ball... Defensively what a great 55 minutes of Defense. Literally as perfect as you can dream of.. Obviously I dont know how the hell they converted that 2 point conversion, someone should have knocked the ball down.. Sam Barrington got beat on that wheel route twice. The first time lynch dropped the ball and the second he just got flat out beat. ILB is a huge concern moving forward, hopefully were able to draft a good one. 3rd and 7 and you allow a 35 yard pass in OT, not sure what the hell went wrong on that play. Kearse and Baldwin were their only options was the safety not playing over the top? Anyway moving on toward next season some positive things The OLINE PLAYED THEIR ASSES OFF.. Julius Peppers looked like JJ Watt out there so hopefully he has one season left in him.. We need to resign Cobb at all costs, way to valuable more valuable than nelson imo..

I don't think anyone should be fired or released. The one saving grace is the Packers have a team that can hang with anyone. That is a good sign.

Personally, i think one person should be fired, Shaun Slocum the special teams coach. How many field goals and punts did they have blocked this year? In the biggest game of the year, they give up a fake field goal for a td and bumble the on side kick. I will say their coverage was great yesterday, but Seattle since they cut Harvin had nothing "special" about their special teams. Keep everyone else, get a new special teams coach, come back next year pissed off.

[lambeauleap87]

Still disappointed about this game, like I said last night, one of the worst losses I've ever taken as a fan. It sucks, but that's sports. I still have the Ohio State National Championship to hang my hat on.

My one "bright" spot I'm taking away from this is the hope that Rodgers & Co. will come back all sorts of pissed next year and tear through the league. The talent is certainly there to do so.

Here is the problem.

Neither one of those plays could be put on Slocum, especially the Bostick play. Bostick didn't do what he was suppose to do. You can't fault Slocum for that.

On the fake FG, Hawk took the wrong guy. I am not sure what he was thinking, maybe Hawk isn't normally in that position on ST, I am not sure.

There are a lot of things to blame Slocum for, but the bone headed plays yesterday weren't really his fault. People have been saying to fire him for a few years, so maybe it is overdue. But Crosby played lights out in the playoffs and Micah Hyde was a breath of fresh air at the return position.

Knowing McCarthy, Slocum will be back next year.

Everyone seems to want to put the players failing to capitalize on the coaching staff. McCarthy and the rest of the staff had a brilliant gameplan that gave them every chance to win the game had they capitalized on a single play the last five minutes.

[freethrowtommy]

Ugg... JONES'ED AGAIN!

Reserve linebacker Brad Jones was recklessly aggressive coming off the edge on film. He consistently darted hard to the inside in an effort to get the block, and often went to unnecessary lengths to do so. Against Dallas in their divisional game, he lined up on the left side three times and on the right once, and on one attempt he tried to leap over a blocker only to get stonewalled.

So with five minutes left in the third quarter and Seattle still trailing 16-0, Carroll gave Ryan the go-ahead to execute a fake specifically designed for this game. Ryan had two options:
1. Take the snap and roll out to Jones’ side with either Garry Gilliam (left side) or Luke Willson (right) as a receiving option. If the linebacker covers the receiver, Ryan should run. If not, throw it.

2. If Jones isn’t on the field, take a delay of game penalty and then kick the field goal.

The Packers can kiss my but. Most of all the Pillsbury Doughboy Mike McCarthy. The gut less wonder thinks he did nothing wrong and can't believe they lost. You lost because you don't have the guts to put a team away for good when you have the chance. Packers will NEVER EVER get back to the Super Bowl with fatty has HC.
