Packers didn't get screwed they didn't make enough plays to win. I don't think they were wrong for trying to run the clock out that was the right thing to do with a lead. They just didn't finish the game out like they needed to. Seattle got lucky but it's a 60 min game and the team that gets a bounce sometimes is the one that wins. These games are very close.

How about the unsportsmanlike conduct that wasn't called on Lynch for grabbing his unit after the TD run? That would have made that the 2 pt conversion a 17 yard attempt instead of a 2 yard attempt. Or if it was enforced on the kick off that would have given GB better field position to go for the game winning TD. But still, GB totally lost it on their own. Sounds stupid but Seattle didn't win it, GB lost it....
hes been grabbing his junk during touchdowns for years.

I know people may not like him but I felt lynch not Wilson was the difference in that game. He ran with a purpose in that game and they didn't stop feeding him even when they were down big so much so that aikman was being critical of them. Well it turns out that it worked out in the end and Green Bay cannot stop the run without putting extra people in the box. Last week with the game on the line they got lucky Bryant dropped a pass he almost always doesn't. This week there was no such drop in a one on one situation.

The refs also missed a TON of defensive holding/PI calls. Guys were all over GB's receivers and they didn't call it. Hell they even missed a blatant massive face mask.

Refs+stupid GB coaching+miracle+overtime rules won the game for Seattle. But if even one of those four things doesn't happen, GB is probably in the Superbowl.

All year they've been calling much, much less, and these were all legit fouls, like 3-4 of them in the last third of the game that were HUGE no calls. It pretty much made a mockery of what the league did. Emphasize it all year to the point of absurdity, and then when it matters, and when it was blatant, keep the flag in the pocket... and these guys are supposed to be the best or 2nd best in the league. Wow.

I also agree about people calling out the idiocy of falling down after the pick. It's one thing if you can't go anywhere, but if no one is around you, run Forrest run...

Don't be an idiot and get tied up and fumble, but if no one is around, then run.

GB should of blown them out as bad or worse then NE blew out Indy. GB just couldn't punch it in, and of course settled for field goals when you have Lacy and are on the goalline was questionable.

Nevertheless, they were jobbed pretty bad towards the end by the refs. AR got them down there, but Seattle just kept getting possession after possession, and got the opening one in OT.
