Yes, but more importantly his polling would still go up...which in politics is like going for 2 and getting it.
Trump +1
MM 0
Pope 0

And in real life.
They were correct in kicking the extra point but should have done an onside kick to start overtime.
I've changed my mind. Should have gone for 2.

That's what is so confounding about 2010...it was fairly easy that year. Go figure.
They won 4 games on the road. Against the top 3 seeds in the NFC.
I can see Charles and Nick and Tramon saying if this then this for 4 straight games. That secondary was bulletproof. Shields was the kid that sent them to Dallas.
Nothing about 2010 was easy. Nothing. Lombardis never are.

It was hard until Tramon returned the TD in Atlanta...but at that moment we all knew it was over. You could feel it. Everybody felt it.
It was over right there...we all knew it. From there it was fairly easy because Green Bay was in a groove and made it hard on everyone else...for a change.
It was crazy the way it all worked out, but suddenly we knew we were better than everybody else...at that moment in time it just came together.
Yes, it was fairly easy from there...that is the definition of being better than everybody else.
There was nothing easy about their 2010 playoff run.
Easy? The Steelers had the ball with a chance to win at the end. Any other of Dom's six defenses would've crapped the bed in that spot.
Jarrett Bush with the play of the game. He forgot who to cover and just stayed in the middle of the field and Big Ben didn't see him and threw the ball right to him. A big Turnover at the time.
Rong....it was Bush studying film with Woodson & on that formation, Ben ALWAYS threw to that spot on the field. Kudos to Bush for getting to that spot & making a big play.
Bush got lucky though because Heath Miller was WIDE OPEN down the sideline. Fortunately Ben didn't see him
I remember watching Charles Woodson in a sling in the 3rd quarter on the sideline and saying to myself, self, this last 30 minutes is going to be easy.

That makes my point. Even without Wood we could hang onto a lead and win!
It was'nt all THAT hard...or we wouldn't have won.
Like hanging onto a win in a big game has been extremely HARD ...ever since.
So yes...I'm exactly right it's been much harder to win ever since.
We got the Lombardi because that year...it wasn't as hard to win...by definition it was easier...because we actually won. LOL..
Duh.
All of oldschools posts should be followed immediately by derp dog.
it would just help everyone involved

Bush did not study, nor was he lucky. Bush had pictures. The question in everyone's mind is just what pictures and on whom. Maybe he had Big Ben pictures so the deal was Ben would throw the ball so he could intercept it. Otherwise he could not have done it. At least according to everything I have ever read about him.
I love Greg Jennings being miked up for that game and him exclaiming "Jerrett BUSH!" as if he was shocked that everyone's favorite whipping boy got a key INT. It was right up there with Howard Green hitting Ben's arm causing the pick six. And we had a no name DB whose name escapes me now who played well subbing for Charles... Young maybe?
After Charles went down, Pitt went 70 yards in a minute 40 capped off with a TD to a wide open Ward to close out the first half. If Clay doesn't tell Pickett to spill it who knows how that game ends.
Fortunately Aarons pass on 3rd and 10 to Jennings was an easy completion.
Yeah, what gets me is as they got near the goalline he threw a fade route to Jordy in the end zone and he was injured and couldn't get up for it. Toss same pass to Greg and it would've been six. Thanks to Tramon's great play on fourth down it didn't matter.

If that game is 10 minutes longer I'm not sure the Packers win. Bush was a train wreck in coverage and Pittsburgh knew it and went right after him. Thank God Woody played as long as he did in that game.
The Heath Miller factor sums up that playoff run. The Packers were good but sometimes it doesn't hurt to be a little lucky as well. This team hasn't had any horseshoes in the playoffs since.
Two hail Mary's aren't horseshoes? I beg to differ
The Hail Mary against AZ was erased by that failure to contain Fitz on what should have been an easy play. Palmer bounced around like a pinball and should have gone down but he completes it and season over
Pat Lee! That's it, drafted DB didn't last long after that, not sure he's still in the league...

Doesn't matter, those two plays are two of the luckiest plays this team has gotten in post play, it's their own fault they let it slip away yet again

Subbing for Morgan Burnett most of the year, not Woodson. We're talking Pat Lee in this case.
Ponder this: Would Gene Hackman have gone for 2?
And, how would we have fared against Carolina had we won? Would Cobb have been ready? What about Adams? Would it have mattered considering how Abby and Janis had done the week before? I was just rewatching the game last night and Janis early in the game cost us four points on a route to the end zone where Arod was apparently expecting him to take the route flatter and missed a sure TD. Will that boy ever learn how to be an NFL wide receiver?

If your goal isn't to win, you shouldn't be playing. The moment you enter into a contest, your goal is to win, regardless of what happened last week, or what might happen next week. To consider the spanking we would have gotten the following week is irrelevant.
The pressure on MM after that last touchdown with no time left was no more or less than if that game were the Super Bowl.
We got to watch how MM would have lost the Super Bowl, had that been the Super Bowl.
with such divine knowledge of past actions causing future affects can you just tell us what happens in 2016 so I can choose whether to watch or not?
I actually wish we would have gone for 2. The season would most likely ended with Janis running a poor route and Rodgers walking away in disgust. This ending would have been much more of a representation of the season Packer fans endured. The defense played very well most of the year so it was unfortunate that they get the finger pointed at them with the breakdown in OT.
I would've targeted Abby, not Janis. More reliable route runner.
as long as we're playing fantasy football, I woulda put Johnny Jolly at FB and blasted in with Gilbert Brown.
Those two are currently not on the roster. My preferred target is.
