Game 14 : Packers @ Seahawks - Sunday, Dec 15th 7:20 PM

DB's just can't resist giving themselves up after interceptions. Unless it's in a conference championship game you think you have won already with five minutes left in the game.

Jacobs got facemasked

Eh, I thought it was fine. He lost like 5 yards. If he gets one or two more blocks and gets passed that initial wall, he might take that 100 yards.

Or he fumbles it back to Seatle. I don't like non ball carries with the ball.

Well, that’s how Julius Peppers felt, too.

I get where you’re coming from on this one though. Your offense is playing really well, so it’s fine to just give it back to them on the 20 and not try to do more.

To this day I still think he was a double agent.

now that is some horrible clock management

Pathetic.

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Wasting a lot of time on this drive.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Death, taxes and abhorrent clock management in an NFL game. 

[HarryDoyle]

Boy, time out management in the NFC North has been abominable lately.

[HarveysWBs]

*sigh* we’ll never get clock management right

All part of the plan

[OldSchoolSnapper]

You gotta kick the FG. I hate it, but you have to. It's an extra possession. 

[homer]

my opinion: a head coach that can master clock management is worth 2 wins a season easy

Agree. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

[adambr2]

I’m sorry, but no matter what happens here, MLF’s clock management in the 2 minute drill is absolute dog rear. There was more than enough time at the beginning of this drive to get 6. 

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Probably have enough time to run one QUICK play and still kick a FG though.

4 seconds is enough time for a quick pass to the end zone and still kick.

[adambr2]

I think they had enough time for a quick slant. 2-3 seconds.

Maybe. I'd feel a lot better with 5. The NFL clocks have a tendency to burn a second when they shouldn't.

Iffy.

[HarveysWBs]

Why can’t NFL teams consistently hire a guy whose only job is to be in the coaches’ pocket in late half scenarios to advise timeout usage? So many resources available, that seems like a no-brainer.

True, but too much can go wrong as well.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

I am ok with it. High snap, QB decides if he waits another second the guy will be open...things happen. You gotta make sure you extend a possession lead going into half, especially kicking to start the 3rd. Love took way, way too long to snap the ball on the prior play. 

[homer]

If this ends up close you can point to the end of that half as one reason why
