Well no catchy name yet.

Way too much effort went into trying to run out the clock when that's not our strongsuit. McCarthy was just thoroughly out coached in the second half, and our defense didn't do any us any favors late, either. Good game Seahawks fans.

It's pretty lame to complain about the OT rules at this point. Your team crapped the game away. You guys had us in the corner, bludgeoning us with body shots and you let us out.

If that was Rodgers slinging it to Cobb for that game winning TD, you're just fine with how the OT rules are.

This is a man who was told his entire life that believing that he would be an NFL QB was a fool's errand. The only one who believed in him to achieve that was his now deceased dad.

I don't think his comments were disingenuous. At any rate, you don't know the man so it's probably best to not assume what was running through his mind. He's made big comebacks before, and a competitor like him has to believe that if it's a two possession game and there's a decent amount of time left, the game can be won. Especially with that defense backing him up.

Looks like Jordy wants to dance with Chris Matthews.

Put it all together and that's how you lose games. We had a great opportunity. We were right on the cusp."

Kind of telling how he doesn't mention the picks he threw, but whatever. Not a Rodgers fan. Elite, HOF QB, but I just don't like how he comes off. Sure the vast majority of non Seahawks fans feel that way about most of our players, too.

LOL, sorry all. I'll learn the multi quote feature some day.

Nah, you got it all wrong. I love it when Sherman runs his big mouth, but clams up after a loss. Oh, and how Pete Carroll "escaped" to the NFL just before the USC scandal broke.....(after vowing he'd never coach in said NFL, of course)

No argument there on Sherman. Wish he'd own up after a loss.

And I understand the Pete hate. Can't say I blame anyone for that, either.
