It occurred to me the other day that the Packers have had a lot of heartbreak in the playoffs. Many of their losses were close and involved collapses.

Does this top the list? Is it bigger than Super Bowl XXXII and the ‘07 NFC Championship?

I compiled a list of games and wrote a lengthy article at Row12. You can check that out here: http://www.row12.com/article/2817/The_Playoffs_Heartbreak_and_the_Green_Bay_Packers/ 

In short, I'm not sure we're ever going to get over this one. I moved on from Super Bowl XXXII and the '07 NFC title game. Those were tough defeats, but you can argue the Packers weren't the better team on those days. They clearly played better than Seattle did last Sunday. The best comparison I can think of is 4th and 26.

What do you guys think? How does this one stack up?

I think this past Sunday has to be the worst of the lot. I was actually surprised that the announcers did not announce the Packers going to the Superbowl after the INT. It is mindboggling how many things went wrong after that point. I was even thinking about the shitty punt and how with that field position how masthay only got it to the 30 yard line. That should have been an inside the 20 easily or at least to the 20 punting it through the endzone.

Id say how im still frustrated about it, but I'm afraid someone might bite my head off or imply that im asking for blood.
So I won't say how I feel.

This is so fresh that it's tough to fairly compare. T.O's catch was tough due to that and Rice's fumble that drive. 4th and 26 was another collapse with missed pics in the endzone later that drive and Burt reverting to bad Burt mode in OT. I think those 2 compare more so to Sunday since the Packers had control of the games opposed to the Denver SB and 2007 where I feel like the Pack were outplayed.

Could be a cross roads for the franchise.

I hope it's not, but I kind of feel like it is.

This hurts the worst for me because the Packers had it won handily or so it seemed.
I think it's time for change in the organization.
There has just been too many of these playoff debacles over the last decade.
The career of the finest QB in the league is being squandered.

To me it hurt bad the 1st day but I got over it mainly because it has happened so much lately. I mean look at it 15-1 and we are 1 and done, last year 1 and done. 2 years ago we won against a qb that is a wide receiver with the Vikes and then got beat once again by the 49ers. we did win in 2010 when everything fell into place somehow for us. But 09 we had a collapse against a 9-7 team and once again 1 and done.

We pretty much suck when we get to the playoffs even going back into the Favre years. We are a great regular season team but take away the 2010 season and we really suck in the playoffs lol. 2-5 is pretty bad and 1 of the wins was by default lol.
Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

True dat.
Last season, with Rodgers hurt and coming back at the end, i didn't really expect them to do anything in the playoffs.
But this year? Everything seemed to fall into place, and then they pull a "Vikings" at the end of the NFC title game and throw away all their hard work of the season.
Just frustrating.
Once the SB is over, maybe I'll feel better. But right now, it still is hard to think about.
Imagine how the players must feel right now.

2009 vs the cardinals scarred me for months. Neither defense could stop the other, a high-adrenaline game the entire time. Playing from behind but then the defense squeaks out a stop and all of a sudden we go into overtime and win the cointoss. With the way the game's going, flying high. Almost get a TD right off the bat.

Then Rodgers gets tackled by his facemask, fumble, TD. Like getting shot at your wedding.

This year? Everyone said we were going to lose beforehand, not a big enough lead at the half to make me not-nervous, and once the onside kick was recovered I began the acceptance phase.

This game takes it easily as the worse. This game was totally different from the other games. We had a 2 score lead with 5 mins left and DOMINATING them all game long. It wasnt a game where last team with the ball wins or one score can change the out come. NO! this was a game where we had it all but wrapped up. This game will be remember as one of the biggest choke jobs in NFL history. I still cant stomach this loss.

+3 turn over ratio
5 sacks
4 INT's
held there offense in check for 55 mins...


^ if u told me this would happen prior to the game,im booking our trip to the SB.


but then 15 points in 44 seconds!?!?!? WHAT??? Two fluke plays in the same series won them the game. I mean what are the chances of that shit happening? If the NFL was rigged,this game would be a damn good example
