[QUOTE="Terry Ott, post: 595417, member: 1736"] Defense was not "pathetic" for ALMOST the whole game. Defense was inadequate in the final minutes. Rushing 3 was a coaching mistake, and Clinton-Dix screwed up on the conversion play. Being fooled completely on the fake punt = sad. But most of the time the defense played well enough to give the Packers a win. We're all terribly disappointed at the outcome, but here is something to consider: If the team had gotten eaten alive in the first quarter like they did in the fourth, and then the Pack never got back into the game (like: final score of 35-17), we would be saying that the Seahawks are so much better than Green Bay that they didn't belong on the same field. But what did we learn, instead? We learned they are NOT better, or not much better, as they needed all the help we gave them in the closing minutes just to get close, and then they needed some "fairy dust" (similar to the Fail Mary game) to get to OT and one big play to win. Those who are ready to blow up the team and look for a whole new coaching staff and GM --- be careful what you wish for. We could end up being the post-Lombardi Packers for a decade or so while trying to find the next "right combination" of coaching and talent. I went through THAT as a young adult fan, and it was not pretty! [/QUOTE]
