"If you play like this against the Patriots, it will be a replay of last years Superbowl, with Seattle on the Humiliation end of the outcome."

Seattle actually had more first downs and gained nearly 100 yards more than GB. Marshawn Lynch ran for something like 150 yards. The five turnovers were what put them in a hole, and they are unlikely to do that again. By the way, they beat GB 36-16 earlier in the year, they beat Denver, they beat Philadelphia, they beat San Francisco twice, Carolina twice, and Arizona twice. They were in the four games they lost until the final minutes.

This statistic means nothing; you turned the ball over with decent field position to GB, so they needed fewer yards to score. Many of your "yards" ended in turnovers, so they were nothing but ball control for Green Bay's benefit.

They were in the four games they lost until the final minutes.

If typing that makes you feel better about today's absolute disaster, by all means keep posting it.

The fact is, the way the National Passing League has incrementally changed the rules to favor the offense -- and especially the pass -- just about every team in every game can claim they were competitive right up to the whistle.

There is a technical term for "nearly winning." It's called: losing.

The Packers "nearly won" today, and were tied at the final second of the regulation game. How do you think they feel about "nearly winning?"
