GREEN BAY, Wis. — Perhaps you've asked yourself what the Green Bay Packers would have done if they had been in the Seattle Seahawks' shoes at the New England Patriots' 1-yard line with the final seconds of Super Bowl XLIX ticking way.

Would coach Mike McCarthy have done like the Seahawks and called a pass play? Or would he have given the ball to one of his bruising backs, Eddie Lacy or John Kuhn?

History tells us either option would have been in play.

Give to Kuhn, pass, pass kick.

What were the two sequences in the first half of the Seahawks game?

I didn't much care, but I was slightly rooting for NFC over AFC, so I let out a big "WTF" when Wilson passed it, even before the interception. (BTW, I'm amazed that nothing has been said on TV, here, or anywhere that the play was OBVIOUS pass interference).

What would the Packers have done? It would be a less stupid move for the Packers because our O Line is notoriously bad in short yardage and because Lacy doesn't jump cut to daylight like Lynch. If a team does choose to pass in that situation, they should 1. do it under center with play action and 2. throw it outside - not into the huge cluster of bodies in the middle playing to stop the run.

I think the Packers would have run Lacy, not gained an inch, called time out, and passed it for a game-winning TD on the next play.

Hopefully not that razzle dazzle shit we did with Cobb against the 49ers last year.

I think that Kuhn would be the call and against the Pats maybe it would have worked.

Mister negative in me would say we would have ran an illegal procedure and then followed it up with a 6 yard TD pass to Cobb or Nelson.

Nothing has been said because it wasn't pass interference. DB is allowed to hit the WR at the line of scrimmage. Plus DB has a right to the ball also. No PI.

With a healthy Rodgers, I would have expected a play action rollout pass on 2nd down.

I will tell you what ARod would have done. After the long pass he would have run down the field in hurry up mode and thrown a slant pass from the 5 for an easy TD while NE was looking around wondering what happened. NE was in shock mode after that pass and it was a perfect time to go for the throat. That is Arod's first instinct after a long pass play. Get down field and lined up and stick the knife in 'em.

Instead Seattle calls a time out. They were so lucky to have the ball down there in the first place but from that point on I didn't think they did anything right really. They called their 2nd timeout, ran the ball on 1st down keeping the clock ticking, and pretty much put themselves in a position where a pass on 2nd down was the only option to get four plays out of it.

So my thinking goes back to 1st down and I think GB throws the ball right there and it's game over. Of course, GB's personnel is much better suited to do this so I'm not saying Seattle should have necessarily done exactly that but the thread asks what the Packers would have done.

wpr (3h) : 7 days
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep
dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire
dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.
dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move
dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately
Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.
dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.
Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?
Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb
wpr (9-Apr) : yay
Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland
Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'
Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you
Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : The spotting of the ball IS the issue. Not the chain gang.
