It's hardly only the kick in fairness. The broken play by Wilson was a jammy result coming from poor execution. Few questionable calls throughout the game going the hawks way. Incredibly lucky to be even be in the superbowl last year so not sure that can be brought up

If other teams don't have the bottle to close a game out that isn't our problem. Wilson makes those plays regularly so it was hardly a surprise.

And not running the ball but throwing on the two yard line with so little left is stupid, not unlucky :pac:

But Walsh missing a kick is lucky not bottling.
Just typical double standards when it suits.

He did bottle it, but its still lucky for Seattle, don't know why you have such a problem with that though.

And only unlucky when it suits.
The INT came after a lucky catch.

You can tell us all to **** off if you wish, but that's more of a reflection on yourself.

Ok, so I was wrong to think there might be an improvement in the Packers OL,

I wasnt the one who started throwing around the L word, you can look back through the thread. Poxiest was another one.

The Seahawks lost the Superbowl last season to an int right at the end of the game. They were never considered unlucky in that game so I think it's very fair for any fan of theirs to be annoyed at being told they are a lucky team.

coco0981

Packers looking like a team that has no confidence right now. Think Matthews will need a big game for them

Rock Lesnar

Oh DJax, how i wish you were still in Philly

HigginsJ

Kirk Cousins baffles me, he is an utterly terrible turn over prone QB, who is playing like some Manning /Rodgers hybrid. Beyond baffling!!

Feel for Aaron Rodgers, he is getting murdered & getting no help from anyone.

A stop with the pity party even when the Seahawks looked terrible at the start of the year most people where confident they would make the playoffs and be a contender nobody has given the Seahawks anything but credit what is with some fan bases and looking for slights where there is none

Get in!!! (I hope) Skins doing a lot right so far

Ah crap😣

I didn't mention the superbowl, I was talking about today, up by 1 point facing a 20 yard FG as time expires.

I don't understand what his issue is with that assertion. Obviously they got lucky. Complete over reaction IMO.

ScummyMan

Looked short to me

krustydoyle

No TD there.. the clown..

Hulk Hands

Two things on the Walsh bottle job. The hold was bad with the laces towards the kicker. And he's had a poor year kicking from left hash, with all extra pts being kicked from right hash. The last run play was to the right. Peterson200 cut it back left. Still should've made it

Watch out for Preston Smith..

Great shout whoever that was..

He really should have made that alright.... but it just delays the inevitable TD for a couple of mins.

The issue was any game we win its "lucky" but we've lost last years SB at the death and any game this year in the fourth quarter and no one was going around saying the opposition was "lucky".

I'm done with this anyway, watching the next game.

AbusesToilets

got to dive for that TD there

eagle eye

Might not be a td just yet but I think we all fancy it will be one in the next couple of plays.

Packers have to get going quick but if that line can't pass block and isn't able to run block either then it's going to be a long night for Green Bay.

Embrace it. I'd love to have that luck on a regular basis cause it would mean my team was doing something right.
The missed kick was good luck. Or you could say the pressure Sherman put on from the previous kick (almost got finger tips to it) had an affect?

No many people thought it was a bad call by Pete Carroll but 99% of people felt they where unlucky

Laces in or out shouldn't matter from 20 yds, you could practically kick it weak footed and knock it over.

Desean Jackson, big mistake now

That's because Butler made a great play.
If the Hawks missed a FG to win it, then yes, the Pats would have been called lucky.

SantryRed

That, ladies and gentlemen, is the reason why DeSean Jackson is an idiot. Cost his team four points for absolutely no reason whatsoever.

Everybody doesn't live in a world where we treat every game individually.

There was some guy who said they were always lucky and that he hated them.

LuckyGent88

That's great defence in the end.

BoJack Horseman

Wow.... Packers make a pretty good stand there.

That dude sauntering to the end zone before really looks a chump now.

A few good moments for Ha Ha.

Ha Ha. Makes me laugh every time I say it...

Bend don't break! Couple of great plays from Ha-ha.

Yep, also we lost Graham, Lynch and also Rawls who had really stepped up to replace Lynch. But we are lucky though!!

Throwing an interception isn't down to luck. It's down to a bad decision and a poor play call.

Dropping a lead in the fourth quarter in and of itself is not a matter of luck. If you were losing them to 55+ yard FGs from kickers not known for them, or bad ref calls etc, that would be bad luck.

Having maybe the most bruising, physical player in maybe the most physical, bruising position in the game miss 10 games over 6 years isn't bad luck. That's less time out than would be expected. Missing his backup at the same time tonight is a bit unlucky, but is very, very common in that position for a lot of teams.


All the same, congrats on the win. The saying of making your own luck rings somewhat true here as you had to put yourselves in the lead for that to happen. Going to be a fun one for you next week, I kind of like your chances to be honest!!

raze_them_all_

decent stand, now for the offence to punt it back to them and give them another shot

Ah here, we can pick out a Seahawk today and say he made a great play and put off the kicker.

I agree that Butler made a great play btw, and I loved it. I don't agree with the assertion that the Seahawks were lucky to win today.

Except most people where I watched it with a group containing about 12 pats fans and every single one of them said it was lucky

Another 3 & out for GB

Rogers should have made that 3rd down throw....
