Seattle played poorly and deserved to lose. Unfortunately, it seems that Bill Belichick is the only head coach in the NFL who seems to understand that 14 points is nothing in this league, and you'd better keep playing and keep scoring until the final gun.

Seattle benefited from one of the greatest chokes in the history of choking, starting with entirely too conservative play calling in the last nine minutes of the game, both on offense and defense. Hint to Green Bay: you've got Aaron Rodgers. One more hint: Eddie Lacy had one of the worst performances ever. One more hint: do NOT run the football on two consecutive sets of three downs. Morons.

Put the hands team out for the onsides kick. Seriously. If only because Bostick is now going to have to relive that horrible instant for the rest of his life, but, he had lots and lots of help, and should never have in in the position where an onsides kick could take the lead to begin with.

Follow this up with an absolute lollipop on a conversion that should only have had about NINE DEFENDERS on the ball but somehow found its way into the hands of a receiver, and two successive plays on Green Bay's comeback drive where receivers clearly did not know their assignments -- forcing what should have been a winning touchdown drive into a game tying field goal and ...

... there you have it. Nothing brilliant by the invincible Seahawks; who today looked very very beatable indeed. Just the worst choke in the history of chokes. Next year Green Bay needs to come with a warning for kids under three.

I think New England is going to blow out Seattle.

No one called them invincible, and every team in the NFL is beatable by just about any other team.
