I think that that last counter play showed a lot about what was wrong with that day. The Packers cleared the line with amazing ease and each lineman just grabbed a Seahawk and pushed. The idea that not a single man could break through shows a deep weakness on the part of this team and something that will continue to haunt them until they get a run stopping type D-Lineman. It's obvious that the Seahawks are willing to just give the Packers a license to kill the last 9 minutes, this new possession for the Seahawks notwithstanding. I can't imagine how tough this is for a guy like Matt Hasselbeck, who is such a competitor, to lose twice in the playoffs at his old home field.
I'd like any sentimental fans to keep in mind that this is probably the last game we'll see Mike Holmgren coach. You heard it here first. It's an unfortunate thing to happen since, despite the holes in their team, they've been a consistent playoff contender and a new Head Coach will have to work hard to fill some pretty large shoes. Out at One column to come when this retirement becomes official.
