Emotion isn't gonna win a SB alone. It just happens to be or missing ingredient.

Not even "emotion" per se, but being mentally ready to play, and doing so for the entire game.

If you ask me I don't want to play against Seattle in the playoffs. And they are still well alive.

I realize Rodgers has missed some throws. But I think some are being blown out of proportion. At least three of the short missed throws that I can think of were never going anywhere even if the passes were completed. There were defenders crashing down that would have almost certainly blew up Kuhn, Lacy, et al. that may have resulted an incompletion, fumble, or the most likely scenario is it would have been little to no gain. The one play to Lacy in the flat that Rodgers missed a game or two ago would have almost certainly been a loss of yards. Who cares if he missed those throws. Maybe he was just living to fight another day. The bigger concern is the deeper passes that were missed. But a couple of those short dump off passes that were missed don't concern me. Those were busted plays either way.

Barley. That team is going to lose more games. They can't afford to lose many more and still have a hope of making the playoffs.

Agreed. They are still alive. With an identical record to the pathetic Buccaneers. And the Bears. And the Redskins.

They are 1 of 6 teams with a 4-5 record. That ties them for 7th place. They probably need to go at least 6-1 in their remaining games to even make the playoffs. They are essentially 4 games back in their division. They were embarrassed at home last night. Offensively and defensively. If Palmer didn't fumble twice, the Network might have cut away and gone to 'Heidi'. This is not the Seahawks team from 2013 and 2014. (Much like this is not the Packers of 2013 and 2014) The torch might very well have been passed much like the 49ers.
