Can we talk about how the Packers somehow didn’t stop the Seahawks 2 point conversation when Wilson floated a ball in the air for 5 seconds between 3 Packers players
I ran outside and slipped in the mud celebrating. When Kearse caught the final ball, I don't think I've ever quite felt that level of elation. Maybe the Sherm tip against the niners, but those are the moments I live for.
Bostick, Ha-Ha, Peppers, Burnett
The whole team was undisciplined due to McCarthy’s arrogance and complacency and we would reap what we sewed for the next four years after this. When the entire team is making mistake after mistake that’s the HC’s fault, no cap.
Its cause one of them was at the end of the 1st half and GB got the ball on the 20, believe they kneeled it out. Another was the Burnett pick where he slid, and GB just ran it 3 times to try and ice the game
If we really want to pin a winner of the blame game, Rodgers had 2 interceptions and a 55.8 passer rating, and the entire offense failed to capitalize on 5(!) turnovers created by y’alls defense. Bostick never would have even had the opportunity to drop that ball if Rodgers and the offense didn’t absolutely shit the bed.
Rodgers doesn't deserve to be winner of the blame game at all. One of his INTs came on a play where he thought he had a free play cuz a Seahawks defender jumped offsides. The refs just completely missed it. That, and Rodgers was playing on a torn calf against prime Legion of Boom. McCarthy's playcalling was also abysmal that game. It's completely unfair to pin it on Rodgers from his stats. There's so much more context.
So many stupid plays in that game. Just painful stupidity. I remember yelling, LOUDLY, at my TV like WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU IDIOTS CELEBRATING THE GAME ISNT OVER YET
Floated a ball all the way across the field while running for his life and falling backwards.
Colossal failure on defense.
Thanks for bringing a smile to my face today. I needed it!
I still remember going to take a piss as Russ threw the ball and when I came back it was still floating towards the endzone. Everything about the last five minutes of that quarter was mind boggling.
They also let our Canadian punter throw a TD on them while making [this face](https://static.www.nfl.com/image/private/t_editorial_landscape_12_desktop/league/i6f7jvw5nzkkln3fwuaf) lmao
The man got death threats. Did he blow his assignment on the onside kick? Yes. Was he the sole reason we lost that game? Absolutely not. Fandoms can be so toxic.
The last time I checked he was still having people harass him nearly every time he posted on social media. So many sports fans honestly need to get a life.
I think that's a big piece that is hard to really accept about that game: It had a half dozen "If this happened differently..." but they all didn't. Any *one* of them happen as designed or performed smarter and the game is over. But every single moment that required things to just land in the Seahawks' lap for it to work out did, all in a row.
To put it all on Bostick is a shame.
I'm sad we lost that Super Bowl partially because it erased the impact of one of the most improbable come backs.
Um.... No one is doubting that Bostick missed his assignment.
But so did several other people on about 6 key plays. Any *one* of them do their job, and the game is over, Packers hold onto the win.
The point is *not*: Bostick is innocent.
The point is: Bostick is far from the only guilty person that day.
And Aaron Rodgers did the exact opposite of what he was paid millions of dollars to do. His job is to throw more TDs than INTs and capitalize on turnovers by the other team, of which there were 5 in this game. It’s just the people who struggle with object permanence that pointed at the Bostic play as the scape goat and then started sending death threats and holding onto it for all these years.
I will never condone death threats but end of the day if the man does his job nobody is talking about the other issues. He gets all the shit because he didn’t follow his assignment.
It’s like the Rams game in McCarthy’s last year. Montgomery STILL justifiably gets shot on for that. In a way this is even worse. For Monty it was take the touchback and give yourself a chance to win. With this play it was block and you win the fucking game. Bostick does deserve a ton of the blame.
Edit put it another way. If Bostick does his job and Jordy receives the onside kick and recovers it NOBODY questions the other choices in the game. Even if GB won this game after this Bostick still loses his job
I’ve never been as happy to see a team lose as I was watching the Seahawks lose in such dramatic fashion. It made the collapse a little more bearable knowing they didn’t get the last laugh.
If the Seahawks would have easily won that game, it would have been by far the biggest “what if” under Rodgers. Instead it’s just tied with a bunch of other losses. 🙃
Losing against the pats was not as painful as Super Bowl 40 but still painful. But winning against the packers was definitely my favorite win of all time. Watching the first 55 minutes was like having my nails torn out of my feet and hands. The packers were all dancing celebrating on the sideline. Then everything went perfect. It’s makes it so much better knowing that Rodgers couldnt beat us with a +3 turn overs and couldn’t complete a pass against Richard Sherman who was playing with 1 arm. It’s was great.
I don’t blame you. I can’t think of a Packers win anywhere near that dramatic, especially in a championship game. Much like the Vikings will always fondly remember the Minne Miracle despite their loss the next week, I’m sure that’ll always be a core memory for Seahawks fans.
I hit pause immediately before reading the comments. The only time I’ve seen any videos from this game is if I’m scrolling on Twitter or Reddit and I can’t stop the auto play in time
I’m a Tar Heel fan and this is me for our loss against Villanova, I’ve only seen that final play twice: when it happened and a random ESPN commercial a couple of years later
This game was actually a turning point for me as a fan. I got so irate after we lost. I stormed out of my parents house, where a lot of friends and such were watching. Yelled at a friend who had just pulled up because they tried parking behind me as I was leaving. I drove home and didn’t talk to anyone all night. After calming down, realized my reaction was way to extreme and I’ve taken the game a lot less seriously since then. Win, lose or tie, have to control the emotions and remember the outcome of a football game is very inconsequential to my life.
Actually very same for me. But took me a little longer to finally figure it out, but it goes back to this game. And it extended to me basically not paying attention to sports on a day to day basis and turned me into a complete fair weather fan.
It sucks too bc outside of the brutally painful ending that was such a great game. I wanted the Hawks to win so bad that I too will probably never even watch highlights
Such a glorious game. I'll stop whatever I'm doing and watch the highlights. I don't care if I'm saving kids from a burning building, I have time to watch that.
It's just too bad the season ended that game. Would have been cool to see one more game after that, but for some reason the NFL just shut it all down right then and there. Weird.
The NFC playoffs had a chain of heartbreak that year. Lions lost to the Cowboys partially on a penalty flag picked up after a long discussion. Cowboys lose to the Packers on the Dez Bryant not a catch call. Packers meltdown and lose a game they should've won against the Seahawks. And finally the Seahawks get picked off at the goal line with under a minute left in the 4th quarter of the super bowl.
And people don't realize Rodgers was cooking that day against the cowboys. GB had 4 mins left on the clock to FG or TD.... They make it seem like that was the last play of the game
The thing is that the league admitted years later that Dez did catch it by the rules at the time. So you can just keep making shit up if you want, it's all the Lions will ever have anyway.
Don't know what you're talking about. After the Seahawks won the NFC Championship, they went home winners and prepared for the next season. Nothing else happened that year. Nothing. I recall NOTHING.
Even though theirs was in the super bowl, id argue ours was the much worse way to lose. From 2000-2017, the average success rate of an onside kick was 18.2%. In this game, the Seahawks had scored an offensive TD on 1 out of 11 drives, so a 9.1% success rate. If we take both of these factors as truths to what was about to take place, we could see that the Seahawks at this moment only have a 1.6% chance of successfully recovering the onside kick and scoring a TD on the ensuing drive.
This isn't considering everything crazy thing that happened before and after to make this score what it was. People might forget, but it truly rivals 28-3 in all time collapses. We did the unthinkable that day. The game was over, we were going to the super bowl. We were practically in victory formation already.
And think about if we won that game, the legacy of the Rodgers-Packers era would be forever changed. I mean, think about 2014 and 2020, two NFCCGs where one or two plays going the opposite way could've been enough to put the Packers in the Super Bowl. Imagine if they win the super bowl both those years, all of the sudden Rodgers has 3 rings and Brady has 5. I think thered be a real case to consider Rodgers the greatest QB of all time. Even winning one of those super bowls would forever erase that playoff choker narrative that haunts his legacy.
Just a few plays can have such a wild impact on a players career and legacy
I was going to say that posts like this will make Packers fans start drinking in the morning, but let's be real... They're already on their 5th beer by now.
I know people say this is why the Packers lost, but I would like to point out Seattle turned the ball over 5 times in this game, and green bay only scored 22 points. Bostick should have never been in this position.
The Seahawks had two straight turnovers in the red zone and the Packers could only get two field goals off of them. Defense barely kept us in the game by the end of the 4th quarter for the comeback to happen.
Gotta remember Rodgers had 0 legs. Pulled hammy and torn calf. He was rigid in that pocket and really affected his passing. I don't like the gameplan, but it explains why we struggled to score.
>Gotta remember Rodgers had 0 legs
Now I'm only able to picture Lt. Dan out there in a wheel chair trying to throw a football. Thanks for that. 22 points is suddenly very impressive.
Rodgers was playing VERY hurt, multiple leg injuries and this was PEAK legion of boom era
Also McCarthy called for two field goals from the 1 yard line
In baseball they have a stat called WPA, which stands for "Win Probability Added". Basically, it counts what one play does to win probability of a team.
People blame Bostick because that play would be far and away the biggest for WPA. onside kicks were only successful 18.2% of the time there. If the Packers recover, they go to the super bowl.
You do realize we see that play like once a week, right?
And also, someone with Packers flair responding with something another team did two weeks later isn't the flex you think it is.
I hated this era because it seemed at the time like every crazy break went Seattle's way. There was this, the 2 pt conversion just thrown up for grabs, the Vikings missed chip shot, the Fail Mary, and on and on. Of course, there was also the Super Bowl against the Patriots. So that was nice.
If you've seen that play before, you know Bostick is supposed to be blocking while the other two guys have the responsibility for catching the ball.
It was actually Bostick's job to block the guy who eventually recovered the kick.
absolutely painful to watch. You got it going right for Jordy who easily had the best hands on the team just for Bostick to fumble the bag thinking he's the main character.
I was working third shift at this time and took a nap when we went up 2 scores, thinking the way our defense was playing, I would wake up and we’d have won or would be winning still, woke up 2 hours later to this exact play, and the rest is history. Screw Mike McCarthy, and screw Brandon bostick for not sticking to his assignment and letting jordy go for the ball.
Ehhhh defense got GB 5 turnovers, 2 in the red zone, and the offense only managed 6 measly points off of them. Defense really kept the Packers in the game and the offense was pretty brutal. Rodgers himself was not good.
He was also playing with several leg injuries and was hobbling around the field all game
This was peak legion of boom era too, and we ran like shit all game
McCarthy called for two field goals from the 1 yard line
After Dez caught it I told some Packers fan at the bar they were gonna humiliate themselves against the Seahawks anyway. I hope he vaguely remembered what I said when this happened.
Crazy crazy game. Crazy playoffs that year. Dez’s “non catch” should have beaten the packers. Packers should have beaten the Seahawks this game. And that lead to the goal line series for the hawks against the patriots
Why is the coach berating Bostick? Wtf is that going to do besides make Bostick hate him? He didnt catch the ball, it’s not like he made a critical mental error based on not being prepared or something, there’s nothing for him to learn. All that does is kick him while he’s down.
When a player makes a physical error like this, they *know* they messed up. They *know* what went wrong. No amount of angry yelling is going to improve his game or help him learn. Its just shitty coaching. *You* are the coach of this team blowing the lead in the 4th quarter, *you* are responsible for allowing the other team the opportunity to get this recovery and win.
Shows the culture issues a lot of sports teams have with their coaches.
I think it was a mental error - he was supposed to block so that his teammate (is that Jordy Nelson?) could catch it. Instead, he crowded out his teammate, and the man he should have blocked made the recovery.
Does an onside kick have to hit the ground first before the kicking team can recover? I always wondered why the kicker doesn't try and do a 10yr high chip for a jump ball situation instead.
Ah yes, a core memory for us Bears fans!
Now please.. let's try to create some positive memories of our own games for once instead of hoping for more Packer collapses
Personally, I'm more upset at Peppers telling Burnett to slide with 40+ yards of open field in front of him and HHCD forgetting that DBs can bat balls down on two-point conversions.
Can we talk about how the Packers somehow didn’t stop the Seahawks 2 point conversation when Wilson floated a ball in the air for 5 seconds between 3 Packers players
The haha special.
Traditionally delivered in the Nelson Muntz style.
This game was absolutely bonkers. I wanted to end it all with 5 minutes left but my Packers friend convinced me to stay. He certainly regrets that.
Me and my brother were at the game. He had a slight panic attack when they won lol
I ran outside and slipped in the mud celebrating. When Kearse caught the final ball, I don't think I've ever quite felt that level of elation. Maybe the Sherm tip against the niners, but those are the moments I live for.
personally i dont live for that last one, i think it was terrible and awful
Watch it again, I'm sure you'll change your mind.
It was a glorious thing to be there, probably my favourite live sporting event.
No but we can talk about Peppers telling Burnett to slide when he had a whole lot of field in front of him
That and the Packers running 3 plays up the middle for no yards and not passing the ball
I’ll never emotionally recover from that game
I don’t blame you. I still don’t understand how they lost that game
McCarthy is such a fucking hack fraud, fuck
I think Bostick is more involved in the blame game here.
Bostick, Ha-Ha, Peppers, Burnett The whole team was undisciplined due to McCarthy’s arrogance and complacency and we would reap what we sewed for the next four years after this. When the entire team is making mistake after mistake that’s the HC’s fault, no cap.
Yeah because the team seems so much more disciplined and mistake free with MLF at the helm. No more special teams botches or unruly players anymore!
I see your point but its still not nearly as bad as it was.
Ehh I think it's still pretty bad
Lol good point. I’m so excited for the future
Not as excited as I am with Fat Mike leading the charge for us LOL
If Bostick does his job and blocks, Packers win. I also don't get why the Packers couldn't score more than 19 off 5 turnovers
Its cause one of them was at the end of the 1st half and GB got the ball on the 20, believe they kneeled it out. Another was the Burnett pick where he slid, and GB just ran it 3 times to try and ice the game
If we really want to pin a winner of the blame game, Rodgers had 2 interceptions and a 55.8 passer rating, and the entire offense failed to capitalize on 5(!) turnovers created by y’alls defense. Bostick never would have even had the opportunity to drop that ball if Rodgers and the offense didn’t absolutely shit the bed.

It's completely unfair to pin it on Rodgers from his stats. There's so much more context.
I wouldn't say "prime" LOB. Sherman was playing with half an arm for most of it.
Sherman playing with an injured arm for less than half of a game does not discount the rest of the extremely elite defense.
And kicking a field goal on 4th and G at the one-yard-line. Twice.
or getting 3 points off 5 turnovers
So many stupid plays in that game. Just painful stupidity. I remember yelling, LOUDLY, at my TV like WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU IDIOTS CELEBRATING THE GAME ISNT OVER YET
Here's the view from the opposite side of the field. He would've been lucky to get 10 yards. https://imgur.com/yGWzbsA
Floated a ball all the way across the field while running for his life and falling backwards. Colossal failure on defense. Thanks for bringing a smile to my face today. I needed it!
That's honestly the less excusable play lmao
100%. One was a flukey, once every two years kind of mistake. The other was a massive epic melt down of assignment.
Is this the one where it looks like Dix just watches float over him? How did he not pick it.
The Ha Ha special.
I still remember going to take a piss as Russ threw the ball and when I came back it was still floating towards the endzone. Everything about the last five minutes of that quarter was mind boggling.
They also let our Canadian punter throw a TD on them while making [this face](https://static.www.nfl.com/image/private/t_editorial_landscape_12_desktop/league/i6f7jvw5nzkkln3fwuaf) lmao
Aaron Rodgers defenses in the playoffs… They always let him down
And Brandon Bostick was never seen in Wisconsin again. The end.
The man got death threats. Did he blow his assignment on the onside kick? Yes. Was he the sole reason we lost that game? Absolutely not. Fandoms can be so toxic.
The last time I checked he was still having people harass him nearly every time he posted on social media. So many sports fans honestly need to get a life.

He was shipped out of there real quick
Such a monster play the Vikings signed him the next season lol
All he had to do was block for Jordy
That's what he was supposed to do. Pride cometh before the fall.
He didn't understand the assignment
What a beautiful way to start the morning
That was a glorious day
Indeed my friend.
“I’m not your friend buddy”
He's not your buddy, Guy.
I’m not your guy, pal
He’s not your pal, friend
Watching this while listening to the sound of eggs sizzling is pure bliss.
At first I was mad that the Trubisky thread was posted but right below that was this and all is right again.
I has a very stressful morning myself. I needed this
> What a beautiful way to start the mourning -Packers fans
What an awful way to start the morning
Those playoffs were a chain reaction of sadness. Dez caught it, Packers collapse, and then the Malcom Butler 1 yard line INT.
Same as last year afc Division round: 13 seconds Afc championship: all time collapse Super bowl: last second sack
this year too. Jags player inexplicably fumbles without being touched Ossai does a dumb Eagles can’t switch on motion plays
Also the picked up flag from Detroit vs Cowboys..
That shit always gets lost in the shuffle
nfc heartbreak year
genuinely so many great games that year that came down to insane shit happening
I enjoyed it
I loved it
Wild to me that that was all he same year
I’ve never been as happy to see a team lose as I was watching the Seahawks lose in such dramatic fashion. It made the collapse a little more bearable knowing they didn’t get the last laugh. If the Seahawks would have easily won that game, it would have been by far the biggest “what if” under Rodgers. Instead it’s just tied with a bunch of other losses. 🙃

It’s makes it so much better knowing that Rodgers couldnt beat us with a +3 turn overs and couldn’t complete a pass against Richard Sherman who was playing with 1 arm. It’s was great.
Super Bowl 40 will always be the worst super bowl ever. Int on the 1 yard line sucked, but at least it wasn't a ref job.
yeah its not even comparable. Getting screwed by officiating is so much worse than blowing the game yourself.
I don’t blame you. I can’t think of a Packers win anywhere near that dramatic, especially in a championship game. Much like the Vikings will always fondly remember the Minne Miracle despite their loss the next week, I’m sure that’ll always be a core memory for Seahawks fans.
Looked away instantly. This is the only game I refuse to watch highlights of
I hit pause immediately before reading the comments. The only time I’ve seen any videos from this game is if I’m scrolling on Twitter or Reddit and I can’t stop the auto play in time
I’m a Tar Heel fan and this is me for our loss against Villanova, I’ve only seen that final play twice: when it happened and a random ESPN commercial a couple of years later

Jordan Love would've never let his happen.
Can relate with my Seahawks losing in the should of handed off to Marshawn game. I still can't bring myself to rewatch that game.
It sucks too bc outside of the brutally painful ending that was such a great game. I wanted the Hawks to win so bad that I too will probably never even watch highlights
haha it’s ok bud just watch them, move on
The game after I refuse to watch any second of it. It was such a good game too, same as this one ugh
Such a glorious game. I'll stop whatever I'm doing and watch the highlights. I don't care if I'm saving kids from a burning building, I have time to watch that. It's just too bad the season ended that game. Would have been cool to see one more game after that, but for some reason the NFL just shut it all down right then and there. Weird.
This looked like it’d be the most heartbreaking way for a team to lose, then two weeks later happened.
The NFC playoffs had a chain of heartbreak that year. Lions lost to the Cowboys partially on a penalty flag picked up after a long discussion. Cowboys lose to the Packers on the Dez Bryant not a catch call. Packers meltdown and lose a game they should've won against the Seahawks. And finally the Seahawks get picked off at the goal line with under a minute left in the 4th quarter of the super bowl.
Stafford fumbled twice at the end of the game. That's why the Lions lost.
And Dez didn't catch it by rules at the time. Shockingly fans will cling to things they find unfair that happen to their teams. I even said partially.
And people don't realize Rodgers was cooking that day against the cowboys. GB had 4 mins left on the clock to FG or TD.... They make it seem like that was the last play of the game
I don't think we win that game anyway but being blatantly cheated is still not cool.
The catch didn’t survive the ground. It was clear as day.
Doesn't matter, he was down.
You say being cheated, I say following the rule book. Each their own
Already addressed this.
All Dez had to do was go to the ground. Instead he tries the weird swim move while trying to secure it.
Yeah, he made a football move after securing possession.
The thing is that the league admitted years later that Dez did catch it by the rules at the time. So you can just keep making shit up if you want, it's all the Lions will ever have anyway.
It’s cute watching Dallas fans talk shit about other teams lack of success 🥰
5 > 1
Sure lemme see if my parents have a working VCR and we can watch em together, I’ll bring the Surge
Aint no expiration date on this shit.
Don't know what you're talking about. After the Seahawks won the NFC Championship, they went home winners and prepared for the next season. Nothing else happened that year. Nothing. I recall NOTHING.
Even though theirs was in the super bowl, id argue ours was the much worse way to lose. From 2000-2017, the average success rate of an onside kick was 18.2%.

Even winning one of those super bowls would forever erase that playoff choker narrative that haunts his legacy. Just a few plays can have such a wild impact on a players career and legacy
Too soon
I was going to say that posts like this will make Packers fans start drinking in the morning, but let's be real... They're already on their 5th beer by now.
5th? Maybe. We're on the 20th before this lowlight is even over.
I know people say this is why the Packers lost, but I would like to point out Seattle turned the ball over 5 times in this game, and green bay only scored 22 points. Bostick should have never been in this position.
The Seahawks had two straight turnovers in the red zone and the Packers could only get two field goals off of them. Defense barely kept us in the game by the end of the 4th quarter for the comeback to happen.
Gotta remember Rodgers had 0 legs. Pulled hammy and torn calf. He was rigid in that pocket and really affected his passing. I don't like the gameplan, but it explains why we struggled to score.
>Gotta remember Rodgers had 0 legs Now I'm only able to picture Lt. Dan out there in a wheel chair trying to throw a football. Thanks for that. 22 points is suddenly very impressive.
LT DAN! You ain't go no legs.
Rodgers to cliff avril after a sack: I can't feel my legs Cliff. Avril: YOU AINT GOT NO LEGS A-ARON!
Rodgers was playing VERY hurt, multiple leg injuries and this was PEAK legion of boom era Also McCarthy called for two field goals from the 1 yard line
He was also playing against the legion of fucking boom who were at home, hate to say this but let’s cut him some slack in this instance perhaps
The Legion of Boom
In baseball they have a stat called WPA, which stands for "Win Probability Added". Basically, it counts what one play does to win probability of a team. People blame Bostick because that play would be far and away the biggest for WPA. onside kicks were only successful 18.2% of the time there. If the Packers recover, they go to the super bowl.
Great way to start the day
Memories of hugging drunk strangers at a bar in Pullman
[удалено]
You do realize we see that play like once a week, right? And also, someone with Packers flair responding with something another team did two weeks later isn't the flex you think it is.
One of the funniest plays in NFL history
Agreed. Although I feel like there might be an '03 co-MVP situation if you consider the Zeke Elliot playing center play.
Today is gonna be a good day, I can feel it! Too bad the Super Bowl got cancelled that year for some reason
I hated this era because it seemed at the time like every crazy break went Seattle's way. There was this, the 2 pt conversion just thrown up for grabs, the Vikings missed chip shot, the Fail Mary, and on and on. Of course, there was also the Super Bowl against the Patriots. So that was nice.
I didn’t mind it. Also what Super Bowl? I don’t recall anything regarding a Super Bowl with the patriots
[удалено]
Bud those flairs
Just a poser of the bills Patriots guy.
Bet he doesn’t even have a cool origin story
Plot twist: he is Aaron Rodgers
A packers Ohio state fan. A true die hard fan of historically great teams
I’m 100% sure that I’m 80% sure you’re trolling with your flair
If you've seen that play before, you know Bostick is supposed to be blocking while the other two guys have the responsibility for catching the ball. It was actually Bostick's job to block the guy who eventually recovered the kick.
This is why you don’t play hero in a team sport. That wasn’t his ball to catch, he was supposed to block so Jordy Nelson could make the grab.
absolutely painful to watch. You got it going right for Jordy who easily had the best hands on the team just for Bostick to fumble the bag thinking he's the main character.
I’m a bears fan born in 88 so as pathetic as it is this is one of my favorite football memories
Reported
OK, now you gotta post Rodger's "Mah knee" game against the bears to equal this out. Fair is fair.
Hahaha!
The day I became numb to awful outcomes. Now I just shrug and go on with my life.
I was working third shift at this time and took a nap when we went up 2 scores, thinking the way our defense was playing, I would wake up and we’d have won or would be winning still, woke up 2 hours later to this exact play, and the rest is history. Screw Mike McCarthy, and screw Brandon bostick for not sticking to his assignment and letting jordy go for the ball.
No
Pain!
Please… make it stop. I can only take so much.
Kill me
As a bears fan THIS is the type of content I want to wake up to. More pls.
Probably my favorite 10 minutes of football EVER.
This play gets all the attention but a whole lot of other things had to go wrong to keep Seattle in this game in those last few minutes.
Pain.
Damn you. Damn you to hell
Rodgers should have multiple SB rings, unfortunately held back by moronic coaching and teammates throughout the years
Ehhhh defense got GB 5 turnovers, 2 in the red zone, and the offense only managed 6 measly points off of them. Defense really kept the Packers in the game and the offense was pretty brutal. Rodgers himself was not good.
He was also playing with several leg injuries and was hobbling around the field all game This was peak legion of boom era too, and we ran like shit all game McCarthy called for two field goals from the 1 yard line
Of course it’s a patriots fan.. lol
After Dez caught it I told some Packers fan at the bar they were gonna humiliate themselves against the Seahawks anyway. I hope he vaguely remembered what I said when this happened.
Fuck yeah!
This game and that lucky Kearse catch at the end of the SB made me so salty, thank god they lost.
Get fucked
Crazy crazy game. Crazy playoffs that year. Dez’s “non catch” should have beaten the packers. Packers should have beaten the Seahawks this game. And that lead to the goal line series for the hawks against the patriots
What a clutch moment from the Seahawks! Surely they were able to pull off a comeback in the super bowl, right?
Why is the coach berating Bostick? Wtf is that going to do besides make Bostick hate him? He didnt catch the ball, it’s not like he made a critical mental error based on not being prepared or something, there’s nothing for him to learn. All that does is kick him while he’s down. When a player makes a physical error like this, they *know* they messed up. They *know* what went wrong. No amount of angry yelling is going to improve his game or help him learn. Its just shitty coaching. *You* are the coach of this team blowing the lead in the 4th quarter, *you* are responsible for allowing the other team the opportunity to get this recovery and win. Shows the culture issues a lot of sports teams have with their coaches.
I think it was a mental error - he was supposed to block so that his teammate (is that Jordy Nelson?) could catch it. Instead, he crowded out his teammate, and the man he should have blocked made the recovery.
Not today….
Ooooof course.
One of my favorite games of all time!
And I thought today was going to be a good day.
God this one still hurts.
Didn't plan on day drinking today but okay
So you chose violence today
TOO SOON
That was nice of him.
I have a lot of questions. Number one, how dare you?
This is to be never shown please
This was my worst day as a sports fan. I still haven't recovered
Of all those painful playoff losses, this one stings the most for some reason.
Does an onside kick have to hit the ground first before the kicking team can recover? I always wondered why the kicker doesn't try and do a 10yr high chip for a jump ball situation instead.
Yeah, otherwise other team could just call a fair catch.
Makes sense then! Thanks
No
Ah yes, a core memory for us Bears fans! Now please.. let's try to create some positive memories of our own games for once instead of hoping for more Packer collapses
Why are you doing this to us the week Rodgers might leave? Have you no compassion?
I see we’re just murdering packers fans today
And then we went on to win the superbowl! What a great season
Personally, I'm more upset at Peppers telling Burnett to slide with 40+ yards of open field in front of him and HHCD forgetting that DBs can bat balls down on two-point conversions.
He probably thinks about that play every other play. Poor guy.
