Of the Green Bay Packers’ two NFC Championship Game losses in the past three years, the game in Seattle after the 2014 season certainly hurts the most. While that team dominated the Seahawks for 56 minutes or so, the 2016 squad stumbled out of the gate in Atlanta and fell apart.
For this writer at least, it is less agonizing to see one’s team make several mistakes early and end up being thoroughly outplayed than to watch them be the far superior team only to give the game away with mistakes at the end.
