Choke of the century.

1. This was worst than the Dolphins/Jets Monday Night Massacre

[Dr. Strange]

2. How?

How do they lose this game?

Ridiculous!

[Bluzmann57]

3. McCarthy refused to call passing plays

He was playing not to lose rather than to win. That rarely works and didn't today either.
Maybe someday he'll realize that Aaron Rodgers on one leg is still better than anyone else on two legs. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm upset about this one.

4. Reminds me of John Fox's coaching...

when the Broncos lost to the Ravens in double overtime a couple of seasons ago.

5. Lay it all on the Green Bay coach.

[Auggie]

10. Agreed

[TBF]

11. You said it -

With 5 minutes left on the clock you can't take a knee. You keep playing. Maybe at 2 minutes you can think more conservatively. He blew it.

[TBF]

12. Also you can't win championships

With field goals. Should've gone for the TDs. Go big or go home - never more true than last night.

[Goblinmonger]

13. And if he had gone for it and not made it

then everyone would be pissed he didn't go for the field goal.

You take the points you know you can get. Especially early in the game. If the Packers had been ready for the adjustments the Seahawks made and made their own, they would have won.

[TBF]

14. Maybe so -

But in a championship game I think I would've at least gone for the 2nd one. I do think it's possible Aaron's injury factored in. He was still great, but much less mobile than earlier in the season. The collapse really hit in the last 4 minutes and I'm sure the coaches will be going over that to figure out what happened.

15. A high variance strategy is helpful for true underdogs

which Green Bay was going into the game. A strategy that increases your chances of winning but would also increase your chances of losing. I agree with the Packer avatar poster.

6. Funny thread in GD being led by a Pecker Whiner!!

The RULZ Suck!! The one that has been in place since the 1930's!!

7. I don't think Green Bay succombed to internal pressure

Seattle kept fighting & pushing, besides they were true favorites anyway so the extra possessions favored them.

In terms of blowing a big lead, Kansas City already accomplished that who probably could have won kneeling down the rest of the game.

8. This is a bigger stage, but that Giants/Eagles game a few years ago

comes to mind.

9. That comeback

by the Eagles was superb. I couldn't stop watching it on YouTube, especially the DeSean Jackson punt return.
