[QUOTE="jaybadger82, post: 496927, member: 6211"] Now you're just stringing together cool football phrases... You don't know what the Packers secondary was coached to do on that play. [URL='http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70Vi3DhceC0']Knocking down the ball doesn't always work (see link).[/URL] Stupid **** happens. Fact is, we definitively intercepted the ball in front of God and a national television audience. Apparently, intercepting the ball doesn't always work either. The refs ****** that one up. To your original point: not sure why that makes it exemplary of the Packers' [I]lack of toughness[/I] last season. The whole fail Mary episode as symbolic of the Packers' lack of toughness makes about as much sense as a bath tub being symbolic for "perseverance" (none whatsoever). In fact, I thought the Packers showed some guff in the Seattle game. They got punched in the mouth by a tough team on the road, falling behind 7-0 in the first half, when the offense couldn't buy a first down. The Packers rallied out of halftime by abandoning the three WR sets in favor of more hard-nosed two TE sets and scored twelve unanswered points. The defense held Seattle to just seven points all night but for the mother of all botched calls on the final play. (Seattle wouldn't have been in field position to run that Hail Mary but for a couple of botched calls- roughing the passer and pass interference- earlier in the fourth quarter.) On the whole, I thought Green Bay played a good Seattle team pretty tough that night. [URL='http://espn.go.com/nfl/boxscore?gameId=320924026'][Box Score][/URL] I agree that the Packers need to get tougher but I think pointing to the "fail Mary" episode as symbolic of team's lack of toughness in 2012 is a mistake.
