Does life go on?
Very proud of the effort. If Janis hadn't caught that prayer, they would've lost by a Td. In the end, that's what they lost by so the "miracle" plays evened out. It just gets tired losing playoff games in spectacular fashion that get talked about all offseason.
D held the #1 offense in check for most of the game but those dropped INT's killed our shot at the upset.
Offense had suprising success with 84 and a little 83 in spots. Maybe there is hope for this WR group after all! The dead passing game was my biggest worry headed into the offseason because it just seemed like such a huge problem to fix. But hey, maybe they figured it out. Add 88 and 87 back in and next year looks really promising.
I don't think ARZ has a chance vs. SEA or CAR.
Yeah, I hope Janis takes some time during the off season to improve his game. He was amazing tonight.
Ok, so, is this to much to even discuss??? our overtime loss or the missed FG kick of the queens two weeks ago??? which one is worse....or more tolerable?? Just asking because I live in the queens neighborhood.....and what am I going to say to them tomorrow???
The only tiring thing is that other than 2010, all these damn types of playoff games go against GB. Sucks that they cant just get one of these
Tell them to win one, just one Super Bowl, before they can have a seat at the table...
The defense played outstanding against one of the best offenses in the league. It's a funny game. This was a really fun one to watch.

Ask me in a ......
That's easy. MIN led that game with close to certainty for 3 quarters. GB tied on a last second hail mary.
OR
chip shot FG vs. trying to stop #1 O in NFL in OT. Ask them which situation they would bet on.
This one wasn't nearly as tough as last year's NFCCG, but it still sucks.

Maybe we are getting used to it.......they all are tough to take
This defense gave up a full games worth of points and yards in the second half, please explain how that's outstanding defense

Or, heads during the week, tails on the weekend!
The defense was great in the first half, and the pass rush was the main reason. Palmer was pretty much untouched after that.

I'm in Queenland, I have already started replying to text messages from Viking fans, I don't think they are going to say too much to you tomorrow or Monday.
One text I got said this "lost it in spectacular Vikings fashion" to which I replied "the queens would have missed the extra point to tie it" 
**** them Viking fans, their team choked and ours lost a coin toss one game later in the playoffs.
The thing that frightens me the most is that I'm getting used to **** like this.
That was a fun game!
that being said, they've now lost 5 straight overtime postseason playoff games, including 2 seasons in a row. They've lost 3 straight playoff games on the final play. Both of those streaks must be an NFL record.
What was Clay Matthews doing on the long pass? He caught up to Larry and then just stopped.
i was telling everyone around me that they should just go for 2 to end the game, win or lose. I still don't know how overtime is a better scenario there.
Fun game. Capers squad was great this year, hard to blame them on a busted play going for big yards.
Have to give credit for McCarthy for figuring out when the first, second and third WR go down, he could call some plays to Abby and Janis!
Time to get Lacy some slim fast shakes.

Last year was much worse, by far. They were playing the best football of any team at the end of the regular season and were primed to win a SB.

battered fan syndrome
TT...PLEASE get us a tight end for next year. Not having one is killing this team in the red zone and doesn't allow us to use the middle of the field. Oh, and a punter too.
With the exception of my 4 Super Bowls and numerous playoff victories, I feel like a Viking fan now and that hurts. I'm running out of Ammo.

That's not exactly true........they're actually 2-2 in their last 4 games. They beat the Redskins 6 days ago, remember?
Now the Bengals.......they've lost 7 straight playoff games, maybe more if i go back to the 80's and 90's.
I always tell myself to stress out about the things I have control over. The Packers not being one of them.
Im an incredible hypocrite.

Also, Teddy Bridgewater couldn't throw a Hail Mary like that with a running start, let alone falling backwards. He missed some throws this year, but I think we may not appreciate how good AR12 is. A 65 yard pass perfectly placed on 4th and 20 and one of the best Hail Mary passes in a pressure situation I have ever seen.

See. I take the opposite view of Richard Rodgers. I think he is strictly a short yardage red zone type. That's what he did best last year. But with the outside receiving threats kind of blunted people covered him. It was different when defenses had to worry about Nelson and Cobb.
If it wasn't for this weather, I'd be at a loss.

They gave up 13 points in the second half, three of which were gimmes because we turned the ball over inside the 25 on downs. 6 points came in OT.
Keep on posting and cementing your status as the board moron.

Well...under MM
07 NFCCG loss in OT
09 OT loss to Arizona
13 loss on last second FG by SF
14 OT loss to Seattle
15 OT loss to Arizona
Just walked in from Atlanta roadie. Immediately deleted the game.
One question. How ugly was Shields drop?

Last time I checked O.T. counts as the second half plus they gave up nearly 300 yards in the second half including overtime, that's ridiculous no matter how you look at it...moron
Huge props to Tavis who was rifling me updates at a furious clip over Utah and Nevada. Maddening trying to follow a game like this at 36,000 feet.

Drops. Plural. 3. Two in the red zone. That said. The "ole" tackle in OT was bad too.
What I learned from Seattle last year..... Watch the post game, consider yourself fortunate to be a fan that is always in the conversation, let the buzz wear off and watch Caillou with the kids or some apocalyptic show on History Channel with your wife to try and put stuff in perspective. Wake up and feel like possibly it was a dream, then realize it wasn't but still see the sun. Maybe not if you live in the Antartica that is WI in late January.
The rest of the year really sucks as you're left with your thoughts and replays of another "Greatest Playoff Game Ever Played" that the Packers lost.
But you know what? I'll be there next year. I'll buy one of the next ugly ass throwback jerseys. And I'll support this team because it's in my blood. I can say I'll never watch football again, but that's gibberish. This team sticks with you.
And I'd be elated if I ever see Brett Favre taking over for Terry Bradshaw on those shingles commercials. Some how I feel Brett Favre deserves to get shingles.

Worse than the Micah Hyde drop miss vs. the Niners but I screamed the same obscenities at the TV & felt exactly the same

He looked great defensively, and physically he was his old self. Really good coverage. It looked like what it was: a player who hadn't practiced in weeks so he wasn't "ball" ready. The ball came and he wasn't ready for it. Like he wasn't used to catching it from lack of practice.
