It was just like you see in the movies where the ball is in the air and everyone is standing watching to see who catches it.

Give props to Seattle. They never thought they were out of it and made the plays at the end. That's what championship teams do.

Sometimes having a big lead works against you. Conservative second half led to Seattle grabbing some momentum, and it took off from there.

Where them Wilson haters at? LOL

The difference between Rodgers and Wilson is that AR has all the stats and doesn't make the plays in the clutch. Russell comes through even when he's having a shit game.
Of course having that defense doesn't hurt.

the Hawks will get blown out. Green Bay's inability to score in the redzone was a key part of this game. One more early TD and the onside kick doesn't matter.
January 18th, 2015 at 6:45 PM ^
He won't throw 4 INTs again. Obviously if you throw 4 INTS you will probably get blown out. The fact that it could be against NE is immaterial. Also Patriots fans are counting the win a little early.
January 18th, 2015 at 6:53 PM ^
I said IF. I mentioned the Pats because that's who'll they probably play.
January 18th, 2015 at 6:54 PM ^
I'd say that punt return by Edleman just about seals it up

Thank you God for sparing me Aaron Rodgers non-stop for two weeks.
I hate you Packers and am so glad you lost.

January 18th, 2015 at 6:44 PM ^
That's all well and good but you don't live in Seattle where you have to hear their fans talk for the next 2 weeks (at least).
January 18th, 2015 at 6:46 PM ^
Try the next year. I was there for a long term business engagement last year and they were still insufferable in July.
January 18th, 2015 at 7:03 PM ^
Yeah, that's really annoying. I mean, it's ridiculous that a town be really excited about a team that won the Super Bowl. Especially a town that has a baseball team that hasn't made the World Series in its 40 years of existence, had a basketball team get sold and moved, and a football team that was was really bad for the first 25 years of its existence finally wins its first Super Bowl. So obnoxious. No other city's fans would ever be insufferable after winning a championship!
January 18th, 2015 at 7:10 PM ^
Not saying they can't be happy but there was a ton of 'start of a dynasty' talk and the 12th man thing was pretty out of control months after the season ended. It was taking on a Red Sox fans after 1st championship feel, which isn't a good look on anyone. I have a bunch of friends who live in Seattle and while I love them dearly they've pretty out of control about the team.
January 19th, 2015 at 1:13 AM ^
It remains to be seen whether or not they turn into a dynasty. That's premature. Sure, maybe a little bit over the top but it is also a reflection of people being enthusiastic about their team and hoping that the success can be sustained. Professional sports fans are starved for success around here. And while I am somewhat skeptical that anyone can have a dynasty given the parity in the NFL, the Seahawks are relatively young and have a lot of players under reasonable contracts. It will get tricky when they have to pay Wilson but they are still well positioned for the long-term. Especially in a league where the best quarterbacks of their generation are aging: Brees is 35, Brady is 37, Manning is 38.
I guess to each his own. I don't see anything resembling the Red Sox fans and outside of Seattle you don't see people biting on the Seahawks the way that they do the Red Sox/Yankees/Cowboys etc. The 12th fan I suppose may seem cheesy from the outside but the fans take pride in being the loudest stadium in the NFL and the high level of fan support. Not the worst thing in the world. Some of it is bandwagony, but it's that way everywhere. And it's an on-going thing that has been around a long time. They retired the 12 jersey in 1984 and it's been A Thing since well before the Hawks were good. It just wasn't noticed nationally because the team was not as prominent.

Seriously, what is with Pete Carroll? I thought the devil came for your soul after ten years. I haven't seen that much luck since the Raiders-Patriots "tuck rule" game.
January 18th, 2015 at 6:48 PM ^
What was lucky?
Seems like sour grapes.
January 18th, 2015 at 7:03 PM ^
2 point conversion
coin flip
January 18th, 2015 at 7:04 PM ^
This game, the onside kick and the two point conversion are the best examples.
Tuck rule game - it was a f'ing fumble, my memory is pretty hazy but I remember the Patriots getting a ton of Brady Hoke 1st season style breaks.
January 18th, 2015 at 6:45 PM ^
Someone should've told him that you drink AFTER the postgame interview.
January 18th, 2015 at 6:47 PM ^
Mike McCarthy put in one of the worst coaching performances I have ever seen. This just proves you don't need to be a good coach to win a Super Bowl.
He coached scared all game and in the end got what he deserved.

And they can wait. It's not like he has to recruit.

Teryl Austin along with Dan Mullen and Mark Stoops (I never thought we'd get Bob) were actually my backups if we didn't get Harbaugh.
Best of luck if he does leave. I'm glad we ended up with Jimmy H.
January 18th, 2015 at 6:55 PM ^
The man has done nothing as a HC to warrant your infatuation. Rich Brooks did better at UK.

Why do people cry during the national anthem?
January 18th, 2015 at 6:53 PM ^
But that was a very Lion-like way to lose. How many times have we seen them dominate a game only to somehow choke it away? I guess there is still hope - maybe the playing field is leveling for us.
