AFC/NFC/Superbowl Predicitons

Nope....

Now I see that there was at least one crucial penalty in the NFC championship game that the refs didn't see. The Sherman INT in the end zone clearly had a seahawk player offsides, which is why Aaron threw into the tight coverage. He knew it was going to be a free play otherwise he wouldn't have thrown out there. Refs blew that call that would've certainly ended with at least 3 points for GB, which would've made the lead too big for Seattle to overcome. But there were numerous other chances the packers had to win without the refs needing to do their job properly. I just don't like it when close games outcomes are altered by refs not doing their jobs.

 

it aint gonna be a free play unless there is a flag and the QB sees the flag
there is a penalty of some kind on every play, some just more obvious than others
I thought it was a pretty good officiated game myself, Seattle had alot of calls on them ( it was killing me), but they were legit

 

Many times the ball gets thrown before the refs get the flag out. After the game, Rodgers said Linsley snapped the ball earlier than expected because Michael Bennet's head was across the plane. You can read about it on profootballtalk.com. But there were several more penalties not called, almost all against Seattle.

I think miscommunication between the "all star" officiating crews for playoffs needs to be eliminated. Let the officiating crews that call the most accurate games in regular season stay as their cohesive, on the same page, mind reading crews for all playoff games.

 

Packers, Colts......................

 

Sorry my friend your grasping at straws.........That game was won fair and square by Seattle and everyone knows it. I know its a hard pill to swallow by Green Bay fans but the sooner its swallowed the sooner they can move on. Green Bay played well....... More importantly , that was one hell of a game.........I have been watching football for 40 years and I haven't seen anything that was as exciting as that...........Lets give props to the Hawks..............INCREDIBLE..

 

It was one of the best nfl games I've ever seen, if you take being a packer fan out of it. But, the better team lost, and poor officiating didn't help. There were missed calls, but that one was huge.
Seattle's window is closing with free agency issues for 2015.
Green Bay's fans will be around for their next run to the playoffs, for every game in next year or in 50 years. Packer fans stay the entire game and don't boo their team.

 

i did not hear the booing you are refering to, not saying it did not happen i just did not hear it on the tv,
as for the fans leaving early, thats just another thing that the media is blowing out of proportion, it may of been a few hundred if that and the media keyed in on it
Seattle has a huge fan base, every game is a sell out and has been for years, almost impossible to get tics for any game unless you know a season tic holder. and I know GB is the same way
yes we have our bandwagon jumpers and alot of them since last years SB win, matter of fact I work with one, he could care less about local sports unless they are winning. I've been a die hard fan of the Hawks and Mariners since there existence and its about time we have a team that can compete with the best and win. its been along time coming
The Mariners are now keying in on this and bringing in big name players again after years of attendance decline ( more bandwagon jumpers in baseball) they were 1 game away from the playoffs last year, hopefully this will be their year as well

 

Better team ?? You mean played better......And for most of the game GB did ........ Reality check for you: Seattle was struggling and playing in first gear for most of the game . And they STILL were able to hold off GB from scoring too much and make an incredible comeback on top of that. What does that tell ya ?

That's the truth of it

 

Not so sure I agree with that statement, GB got the majority of its points off of interceptions on balls that should of been caught by Seattle, granted they made the play and we did not
however our defense kept you out of the end zone and limited those points to field goals, both teams defense were playing great, Seattle's offense once again started out slow and could not get out of its own way in the 1st half , granted the GB defense had something to do with that

however if you look at the game stats it was pretty evenly matched, the only thing that stands out is the
sacks/yards lost stat
interceptions
and rushing
Lacy 21 for 73
Lynch 25 for 157

Top Performers
Passing: R. Wilson (SEA) - 209 YDS, 1 TD, 4 INT
Rushing: M. Lynch (SEA) - 25 CAR, 157 YDS, 1 TD
Receiving: D. Baldwin (SEA) - 6 REC, 106 YDS

Bottom line is that GB had about 10 moments / plays in the tail end of the game that would have sealed the game, and none of them went gb's way. So Seattle won.

 

it was the on sides kick, dude shoulda made the play/game over, he did not

 

Yeah that one broke the back. He was supposed to block for jordy nelson behind him. That was 3rd string tight end Brandon bostick. He instead tried to catch it. I do bad for that guy especially. He only played special teams this year

 

Horkn , plays don't just go your way....You have to make them happen....heh !

 

Usually. Seattle's Fail Mary is an exception, but that game was essentially meaningless, as a game goes. As far as the NFL though, that game ended the lockout for the refs by making the NFL see how bad that call was. I like that the NFL went back and said that the packers intercepted Wilson, but they didn't go far enough and award the win to GB and put a loss for Seattle.

 

much like SB40, Sea vs Pitt. Head ref came out publicly a couple years later and said he blew some calls that very well could of effected the outcome of the game and was sorry
I still aint over that game

 

Could be worse.

Do you guys remember the name Andres Escobar?

He was the Columbian soccer player who kicked the ball into his own goal against team USA during the 1994 world cup. He was shot and killed less than a week after returning to Columbia.

 

I do remember that. I couldn't name his name, but I recall the story.

 

I cheated. I didn't remember his name either. I had to use the google machine to find it.

 

heres a twist from the Sea / GB game. On the winning pass from Wilson to Kearse, Kearse threw the ball in the stands. the guy who got it was offered $20k from a memorabilia shop and turned it down, than got a call from Kearse asking what he wanted for it as he would really like it back. Dude says he wants to keep it, he is unemployed and according to story is about to due some time in jail for something he did previously. How the hell did he get tics to this game, and tell Kearse what you want for that ball and get paid!!

edit: looks like he is holding out for SB tics from Kearse if you slick on the video part of the stroy

I stopped watching baseball years ago, good luck with whomever you're rooting for.
