Seattle has been the setting for some of the worst football memories for many Packers fans. I’ve never been so close to causing legitimate property damage as I was after the Fail Mary incident, as I just barely convinced myself not to throw my barstool through a window.
Of course, I’ll never forget the 2014 NFC Championship Game either. I was watching at a friend’s house and was the only Packers fan among 10 or so friends. Everyone else became very caught up in the momentum of the game and sudden entertainment value.
A good friend happened to notice me morose on the edge of the room and he remembered that I was an interested party, not just a neutral observer like the rest of them.
