[QUOTE="jaybadger82, post: 485352, member: 6211"] -Sure. I understand your argument. It's just logically flawed. Not sure how you can disagree with the logic of my earlier post: if the correct call had been made at the end of the Seahawk game and the remainder of the season played out as it had, we would have had twelve wins heading into week 17, thus locking up the two seed regardless of outcome against the Vikings. (I would love to read your explanation for disagreeing with this reasoning, by the way). Your argument boils down to the premise that because the Packers had the opportunity to lock up the two seed in week 17 against the Vikings, the mistaken outcome of the Seattle game is moot. Not correct. Although we could have locked up the two seed in week 17, that does not eliminate the blunder in Seattle or change the fact that the Packers had to expend energy/resources game planning for a critical week 17 game as well as the wild card round playoff game when they could have been resting up. Though there's no way to know the outcome of such circumstances, if you can't recognize the advantage of a meaningless game followed by a bye v. playing two must-win contests, then you're being obstinate. I know which one NFL coaches and front offices would unanimously select. The Fail Mary had very real consequences on the conclusion of our season. The NFL season is a marathon, not a sprint, and the games played on Sunday don't exist in a vacuum. [/QUOTE]
