Playing the "Blame Game" is futile, it only extends the pity party . Winners don't dwell upon the past, but look forward to the next challenge . Mistakes and successes are analyzed and added to the Knowledge base. Wining and crying over spilled milk never cleaned up the mess and refilled the glass.

Yes, the Packer season is over. We cheered and toasted the victory's. We also suffered each negative. Rally now and put your energy toward a brighter future !


GO PACK GO !!

I've seen this too many times.

But I re-watched what happened after the Burnett interception. They showed the Packers sideline, and you could see all the defensive players laughing, celebrating, and hugging each other. They all thought the game was over. They were mentally done, they thought they didn't have to play defense anymore, and it showed in the last few minutes.

One first down on either of those two offensive possessions would have sealed the game. That lead with that little time left, giving the ball to the best QB in the game, and McCarthy doesn't even try to ice the game.

He didn't play well against the Bears in the 2010 NFC-C, and I remember him completing under 50% of his passes against the Jets in 2010, KC in 2011, and the Bills this season. Has Brady or Manning ever completed less than 50% of their passes in a game?
