They lost that game when they kicked the fg instead of going for it on 4th and goal from the one in the 1st quarter.
I actually thought that was the right call. Green Bay is terrible in short yardage situations. They've been stonewalled on 4th and goal the last number of weeks. 0/4. They lost the game when McCarthy decided to play prevent offense in the 4th quarter and kept punting away to Seattle. Best QB in the biz and you take the ball out of his hands? Dumb.
I love that the Packers lose and its somehow related to both Philbin and Sparano lol. We love wallowing in our own misery even when we are not playing
Told my brother right after the second FG early in the game, you don't beat teams like this by kicking frickin' FG's. He looked at me kinda funny at the time. Later when the game went into OT he looked at me again, and I just winked at him.
I thought it was the right call too. Why did the one DB for Green Bay slide down when he intercepted Wilson in the 4th? I was watching on mute. He could have provided far more awesome field position.
Weren't they were up 12 points (AKA two touchdowns). Not worth running around like an idiot and risking a fumble. A lot of guys are on Defense for a reason ...Not the most reliable hands in the biz. Prevent defense and the idiotic run run pass sequence got them. All too familiar. I was having horror flashbacks to several games we played in the last few years.
Green Bay had no business losing that game. Their defense played well enough and shut down Seattle's offense for most of the game. But Seattle also has one of the league's best red zone defenses and it showed. The fact that GB went to the red zone several times and failed to score a TD on some of those drives is an indictment of why they lost. You gotta score TDs against a team like the Seahawks. Can't really question McCarthy's coaching decisions, they simply didn't do enough to win that game and couldn't stop Seattle when they finally got their offense going in the 4th Q. I really feel bad for Brandon Bostick though, he getting a lot of flack from their fans.
Two key things that got us the loss was Burnett going to the ground on the interception... and Bostick going for the recovery when he was suppose to be blocking and letting Jordy recover it..
the seahawks defense was just outstanding. wilson kept putting them in short fields the whole game and they only let up the 1 td.
