The Packers humbled Seattle on both sides of the ball for the first 55 minutes of their NFC title game. With five minutes left in the 4th Quarter Packers Coach Mike McCarthy choose to play conservatively and opened the door for the Seahawks to find their 12th man and missing mojo. In a meltdown of momentous proportions the Packers watched Seattle scored two quick TD’s and a two-point conversion before Green Bay tied things up with a Field Goal. Seattle won the Sudden-Death coin-toss, elected to receive and scored a perfectly executed touchdown pass on their first play to win the game 28-22.
Later, at Gillette Stadium the Patriots embarrassed and shut-down the inconsistent Colts for four full quarters 45-7. New England’s utter domination of Indianapolis has made me change my Super Bowl prediction. If Green Bay can make Seattle look like a college team for 55 minutes, Bill Belichick and his indomitable Patriots.can do the same and win.
The NFL should change their Sudden Death Playoff Rules so that both teams have a chance to score a touchdown. A game of this magnitude should not be decided by a coin-toss.
