Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Wisconsin Press: No Respect for Hawks. Packers Choked.

Giving us very little credit is BS. It should have been 30+ to nothing at halftime. Our defense did great with their backs to the wall the entire game. ML had 157 yards against what was the best defense we've played against for 2 years. I guess the Packers are the USC of football; TRADITION! WE ARE THE PACK. Here's what they're saying.

"When historians remember the NFC Championship Game at CenturyLink Field, what should it be called? The Big Choke would be appropriate." Bob McGinn, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

    Fuck 'em. That's just typical butthurt from fans of a team that just cooged it.

    Now, be ready for the national media to gargle Brady's sack for 2 weeks, while they discount the Seahawks. This is actually good, because it plays right into the hands of the Hawks' players.

    I think this Super Bowl is going to be much better than last year's. The Patriots look to be light years ahead of where the Broncos were a year ago.

    All I would say to Arron Rodgers is, the best team will be in Phoenix in two weeks. Going all Mike Bellotti is never a good look.

    Also the way the Packers threw the special teamer under the bus when the defense gave up 21 points in 2 minutes and overtime is not classy. The Hawks didn't scream at all the guys who fucked up during the game, they just kept playing.

    McCarthy knows that was the type of game that gets coaches fired. But Seattle's defense is the reason it wasn't 35-7. Two teams are on the field

    Seattle's defense and his spineless decisions to settle for FGs. But still.

    If you lead 19-7 and have the ball with 5 minutes left it isn't your offense that lost the game for you. Duck fans think the offense lost the Buckeye game. Nobody understands defense anymore. The Packers had Seattle shut down. Then Matthews turned into a pussy and instead of having a hall of fame game he was on the sidelines as the Seattle offense came to life.

    There's a reason no one had ever come back from 16 points down in a championship game. It was a truly incredible series of events

    If they go for it and fail, it's a totally different game. The Seahawks probably don't need a furious comeback.

    My suggestion for Green Bay. Fire the coach and hire Carroll Jr., Sark would have gone for it when on the line and had some great bubble screen passes.

    The only 4th and goals Greenbay faced were in the 1st quarter and would have pinned Seattle on the 1 of they didn't convert.

    You think the decision to kick the field goals was influenced by the reputation of Seattle's defense? Maybe just a little fear factor there?

    That's exactly what happened. Remember McCarthy never even chose to throw at Sherman in September.

    19 points isn't enough to win in the modern NFL, especially on the road against the defending champs.

    Your point about Clay Matthews is huge though. Sherman played with one arm but Matthews pussied out.

    Earl Thomas dislocated his shoulder, and then came back in and hit Eddie Lacy at full speed.

    Thomas and Sherman proved they were both fucking TUFF, while Clay Matthews died of full blown sandinvaginitis.
    You had me at "full blown sandvaginitis".

    Not to take anything away from the Seahawks, but they absolutely did choke.

    So, if Green Bay choked in the last 3 minutes, did Seattle choke in the first 57? Passes deflecting off of Kearse's hands and Baldwin fumbling kick offs.

    The bottom line is that the entire game was a dreck fest, it's just that the roles reversed with a few minutes left.

    No they definitely choked at the end. Especially on the 2 point play and the onside kick.

    It gets worse... "Aaron Rodgers: 'We were the better team today.' He’s right, and now the Packers will go at least five years between Super Bowl appearances despite arguably having the best quarterback in the NFL on their roster." NBC Sports

    That two point play ... holy shit.
