Look Back at Green Bay vs Seattle

Now that we have had a few days to let the debacle of the Green Bay vs Seattle game settle in, lets look back at the game.

As I sat in the airport watching the game I distinctly remember wondering what the hell McCarthy was thinking when we kicked the first field goal?  I was thinking that it was pretty early in the game to not be trying to set the tone.  Even if we don't make it you pin them against their own goal line.  However he settled for the 3 points.

Almost immediately we again are right on their goal line.  Now we have to punch it in and make this a two score game and punish them for their mistake.  Nope again we settle for the 3 points.  Twice we are right there and we aren't even a touchdown ahead of them.

I thought immediately that the Packers were in real trouble. 

They weren't playing the game the Packer way.  They weren't going for it.  They were playing not to lose.  They were already being way to conservative.  You could see it in the players behavior each time the offense was pulled off the field for the field goal team.  Coaches and Players were not on the same page.

Sure you can look at several instances of mistakes by the Packers, but it really boiled down to the first two drives.  Those drives set the mind set for this game.  They were the ones that kept the Seahawks in the game.
