Yes it was - awful indeed. I felt like GB should have tried to at least push one of those early possessions at the 1 yard line in for a TD. But all the credit to Seattle - they took advantage of every little opportunity they were able to muster. GB had a great gameplan but Seattle was able to convert the fake FG for a TD, convert the onside kick to keep any chance they had alive and then convert the miracle 2 point conversion to give the 3 point lead. And then they won the toss and took advantage of first possession by scoring a TD and ending it. The Packers tried to find any way not to lose and the Seahawks tried to find any way to win. This one will hurt for a long time. A good take on the game. For some reason, it seems that NFL teams try to manage the clock way too much rather than manage the score. On Wilson's last interception, why did the DB slide? He had 10 to 20 yards wide open in front of him. He was afraid he'd fumble? Can;t play football half way! There was way too much time left. He gains some yards they are almost in FG range with 1st and 10. Even if you run 3 plays, you are burning up the clock in better field position. With that being said, I do give the Seahawks credit. They took the chances because they had to (managing both the clock and score) and pulled it out. As far as the 2 point conversion, did anyone notice the GB defender didn't even try to defend it? Once you start playing any game conservatively, it is hard to re-up your game. Play the whole 60 minutes, 90 minutes (sorry I like Soccer better) whatever, at full speed unless the lead is so big you are rubbing it in. JMO

Ever have one of those dreams where you're trying to run, and you can't. I think that's what happened to that poor guy.

Yes I actually had a conversation with a couple of friends about that... I wonder if he was working for the "shorts." Am surprised that none of the conspiracy theorists came out of the woodwork.

I heard quite a bit "conspiracy theory's" in the after interviews with the players...apparently "God" wanted Seattle to win. I'm thinking after the Super Bowl we'll find out "God" wanted New England to win. I'm thinking it might have something to do with 'Manifest Destiny' and Patriot'ism.
Looks like another slow day in MNKD news ; )

I think it was just such an awkward play and unexpected he didn't see how to make the play. He had 2 interceptions that game. I'm counting it up to Seattle had an unbelievable amount of luck and took advantage of it those last 5 minutes. Anything that could go wring did go wrong for the Packers.
