Yes, it is, big time huge.
The game was tied with under 2 minutes remaining (me) Packers, driving towards the goal line. The Seahawks called two timeouts(and not at the automatic 1:01 mark) to stop the clock. They saved their third and last timeout for the offense. Crosby was lining up for the FG and I let the clock run with 3 secs left.
Seattle takes over with 26 seconds left and Wilson, on the first play, throws an Int. 18 seconds left and Packers kneel. The Seahawks didn't call the last timeout to stop the clock with 18 seconds left. Last year, they would have burned that last timeout, regardless.
Also, in the second half, Wilson passed on 3 1st downs, torching the defense. That didn't happen last year, either with the CPU.
Encouraging.
Not encouraging, commentary when Seattle had the ball with 18 ticks left. All they need to do is kneel.
