Thanks very much Collin. The Packers still have some areas to improve in and losing Jordy Nelson isn't going to help and now we might not have Eddie Lacey either which is really going to suck. I gotta be honest and say that I got a kick out of seeing that Seahawk getting ejected. Well, hopefully we will see each other again in the playoffs. That will be very exciting!

WE GOT OUR REVENGE!!! YESSSSSSS!!!!

This doesn't entirely make sense to me. I know a lot of Packers fans feel this way, but... revenge for what? For our own bad play in the championship game last year?

For myself, "revenge" requires that the importance of the games be close to equal. It takes a playoff win to avenge a playoff loss, and I think we're actually up on the Seahawks 2-1 in recent years. Sure, they got us last year... but we've always got "we want the ball and we're gonna score" to remember. (At least, those of us who were actual Packers fans before 2010.)

If this was "revenge" for anything, it was revenge for Fail Mary. A regular season game, with a result that will affect playoff seeding, largely decided by the refs (bad call then, offsides tonight).


The NFC East is now NFC Least. Redskins won but still look iffy, Giants gave up a late game lead again, Dallas won but lost Romo. And the Eagles... dear H. They look like a junior high school team. Bradford was their leading rusher with 9 yards.

This gentleman says it best...
 
I know what you mean SMX and even though this was a regular season game, it still felt good to beat Seattle at home after last year's devastating loss. For me and my dad, the pain of that never completely left us and this help offset that by a little bit. The only thing that will truly make it go away will be a Superbowl win. At least that's how I see it.
 
Sure that loss was probably demoralizing. But it's not as bad a coming 1 yard away from a Super Bowl victory. Every time I see that play, I cringe.
 
Yeah the Eagles don't look good, they need to improve on both sides of the ball but what's really troubling is that their supposed identity (Chip Kelly high-octane offense) is non-existent. But what I do like is that there are story-lines everywhere and the NFL feels pretty wide open. Ok at least the NFC feels pretty wide open. The Patriots put Rex Ryan in his place to keep them at the top of the AFC so I'm happy. :D

Funnier even than the infamous Buttfumble?

Superbowl context makes the 1 yard intercept funnier, though Buttfumble is probably a funnier incident on the merits of the actual occurrence. It's definitely the schadenfreude that puts the intercept over the top.
 
Great win for Seattle today. It looks like they're finally starting to get things figured out on offense, despite not having Lynch for almost the whole game.

Now if only they could figure out how to get a turnover. Seriously 10 punts for a team with a backup qb and no turnovers? :confused:
 
Well, that was a great win last night. However, the Packers also need to stop weakening their defense when they think they have the game won. KC had one hell of a comeback in the 4th quarter.

They're giving snaps to the 2nd and 3rd teamers, so those guys will be ready down the road. R-E-L-A-X. Packers are a good enough team to use the regular season like an extended preseason.

I think he kind of meant that it's carrying over from last year. Dare I say NFC Championship game.
 
That's exactly what I'm saying, but whatever. We are now 4 and 0!!! We're not alone in that though. Plus the Vikings got a loss which is huge as well! What an incredible season this is!

Why aren't you a Vikings fan, Travis?

Not a huge football fan but what I watched of that Vikings/Broncos game was really entertaining. Came down to the last minute.
 
Actually, I'm not really a true fan of any team so if the Packers are doing good, I'll cheer for them and if they suck, I'll cheer for whoever in my division is doing good. For last year's Superbowl, my friend is a huge Patriots fan so I was cheering with her and we were both very excited at the huge win. I know it sounds messed up and feel free to give me shit for it, but it's the type of fan I am strange as it sounds.
 
Seattle's offensive line stepped up today, but the offensive playcalling hurt us bad today. 6 straight 3 and outs in situations where we needed to chew clock or win the game. Wtf.
