Nobody Cares

Russell Wilson QBR was 13 yesterday. He gets a playoff win. Stats are for losers. 

 

I feel like sticking my head under the broiler. 

RW also had a D that could keep GB out of the endzone on back to back trips inside their 5.  It is the only way on god's green earth that he was in position to make 2 great throws at the end of the game to win it.  He doesn't make 2 f'ing decent throws and he is easily the reason SEA loses that game.  He doesn't get the win, the rest of his team does.  He knows that.

LOL.  Did yah wet your bed too?

This is why Super Bowl XXXII will for me be the worst loss in Packer history.  It was the SB, we were double digit favorites, and the AFC hadn't won a SB in over a decade.  Nothing can top that loss, not even this debacle.  Nobody even gave us a shot in this game.

Well, what made this loss for me so tough was that even though I really thought the Packers would win this game prior to kick-off, I was prepared to accept a loss.  However, when the Packers had the game won and I was  fantasizing about SB victory in a couple of weeks, to see the Packers choke like that and give this game away was hard to swallow. 

 

Rodgers did not lose this game.  He played well enough to win,  However, if he was at 100%, I think the Packers' lead would have been large enough to overcome that choke at the end.

 

 

We were double digit favorites, but the Broncos ran against the Packers at will throughout that entire game.  In spite of the Vegas odds, too much of that game ran contrary to, "Wow, did we choke this game away like an easy half a dozen times!"

 

I agree with ya regarding the "It's the SB" argument tho.

 

But, this loss.  This is Twilight Zone we're talking here (in my opinion).  This is surreal.

Yeah I got to agree to Twilight Zone Aspect of the last 5 minutes.  I've never seen a team do everything so opposite to what occurs in a normal game.  

 

Burnett kneeling with 5 minutes left.  never happens in a game.

ST player suddenly forgets he is there to block and tries to catch the ball. rarely happens in a game.

2 pt conversion RW throws a duck 50 yards in the air and 2 defenders cant get there in time?  Never happens.

 

As I was watching it live it looked as though the packers were possessed by some a-holes at a buffalo wild wings restaurant they were making so many mistakes.

That just says that a lot of the betting money was wrong.  Point spreads are set to get half the boney bet on each side, with the house raking off the vig.

One of the reasons I'd never be involved in sports betting unless I could be the one raking off the vig.

for anatiwurst--- One of the most sensible posts I have seen here for a long time.   Too many here think the season is a total flop if we don't get top the SB.   I watch the games,and suffer through the loses just like everyone else does.   Been a Packer fan for over 70 years.  But I do manage to keep it in perspective.   Too many of my friends (my age and younger) are no longer here to watch these games.   I am just thankful that I still can.   I have been living with a cancer inside me now for almost 2 years.   A year ago, I was devastated when I thought I might not make it for another year.  BUT I have accepted it and now plan to enjoy whatever days I have left.  That includes Packer and Badger football as well as playing golf myself.   SB would have been real nice but now i am looking forward to NEXT years (2016) SB and hope I am still here.       

Like many of you, 4th and 26 really changed my emotional connection to the Packers.  This time around, I went for a 4 mile run after the game and told myself that once I finished, I would move on.  And for the most part I have.  I've avoided most publications and talk shows that would discuss the game.  My mind still wanders back to the 3rd and 19 debacle, Hawk's blunder on the fake field goal, Burnett/Peppers brain farting on the interception, Clinton-Dix forgetting how to play defense on that 2 point conversion, and of course Bostick not doing his job on the onside kick. And while it feels like this is the worst feeling ever for us fans, there is no doubt in my mind that each player on this team is hurting 1,000 times worse.  

So the clock stops as soon as he intercepts. Never knew that. You are really smert.

I still want to know how the play wasn't blown dead when Matthews sacked wilson and the seahawk player committed the personal foul.

And yet no mention of MMs play calling in the game

It was simply atrocious.  "Playing not to lose" at its finest

Then that mentality rubbed off on Compers on the 3rd and 41 or whatever the hell it was

Very frustrating

Yeah…why wasn't that a dead ball foul?...

This was the most surreal loss…other bits of misery in my life: certainly the phantom catch against san fran, the 4th and 26, the three nightmares against the Bears  1985,  1986 and especially 1987 when McMahon through the most blatant intentional grounding that wasn't called allowing for a game winning field goal…I slept very little that night….We sucked so bad those three years---and we kicked that spectacular Bears teams a$$ and somehow lost each game.

But I do agree the worst loss was the super bowl loss to the Broncos….We were heavy favorite for a reason…That was the beginning of TOGs demise…you want to see a great QB suck it up in the playoffs….watch that one…and about 5 others afterward.

 

Depends.
