Wow. I did not see Seattle coming back like that. ---

I expected the Packers to lose, but not like this. though I do not discard Rodgers in the 2 minute drill Brian ---

Normally, I start yelling at the TV when an interceptor or fumble recoverer makes a risky runback when the game is assured. But there was still over 5 minutes (and 3 Seattle timeouts) left when the intercepting Packer gave up the play with plenty of running room. That was a very bad decision which may have cost them the game. And great decision-making by Wilson to throw up a mini Hail Mary on the 2 point conversion. An interception means the same thing as a sack. I love smart football. ---

This 4th quarter has been one of the best games ever ---

This fits perfectly in with what I always say – Conference Championships are almost always far better games than the Super Bowl. ---

And there it is…nice job McCarthy and Capers. Wasting another year of having Rodgers. Keeping us in Chicago sane. ---

Hurray for the home team! 🙂 I almost called game over at the start of the 3rd quarter. Amazing comeback. ---

Solid outcome for whoever wins the AFC too, both Sherman and Thomas are hurt, I think more badly than they let on, and Wilson got exposed a little bit. ---

Why is the AFC game delayed? Was it because of OT in Seattle? Or is there another reason? ---

Green Bay handed Seattle that game on a silver platter, but I’m going to have to listen to self-aggrandizing Seahawks fans go on for two weeks about how awesome they are. ---

I’m glad Seattle won, but I can’t say I feel like they deserved it. That was a pretty sloppy game by both sides. I feel like either the Pats or the Colts will demolish Seattle. ---

The people of Seattle are fortunate that everybody else in Seattle knows CPR. ---

HOLY CRAP!!! I was saying “game over” with 7:00 left and Seattle punts. 15 points in 44 seconds and they played their worst ever first half. That means worst ever blown game for Green Bay. I think we saw everything possible in that game except a run back for a TD on a punt/kickoff. WOW! ---
