Seattle actually had more first downs and gained nearly 100 yards more than GB.

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?"

Winning the NFC title game is an absolute disaster? You need to either stop drinking or start drinking, I'm not sure which.

I mentioned the Seahawk's results to suggest that they are not the 0-16 team that you are trying to paint them as.

NONE of the yards gained, except for the yards on the kickoff fumble, ended in turnovers.

In case you didn’t notice, Seattle kept the high-scoring GB offense to just 16 points until halftime - and that gave Seattle’s offense a chance to come back.

Yes there were a lot of messy plays, unnecessary penalties, turnovers, etc. And you can be sure the Seahawks will be spending the next 2 weeks working on it.
