Looks like a catch to me. Possession of ball and then he stretches out to put the ball over the goal line.
Not that I care or anything.

Hi, I'm regular season Peyton Manning and I have Directv

Peyton Manning is done, he looked tired, if he comes back next year, he should be a backup. He overthrew so many times, even the crowd start booing him.
Maybe he should stick to those stupid ass nasty papa johns pizza commercials.

Definitely not a catch according to the rule. But it's a stupid rule. It was stupid when they called it on Calvin in Chicago a few years ago, and it's still stupid. But until they change the rule, it was the right call.
Yeah, they were either overthrows or lame ducks. His talent isn't what it used to be.
Also, I think there's something to the theory of him not being able to play in cold weather.
Taking a closer look at Peyton
The temp during last year's Super Bowl loss to the Seahawks: mid 40s
The temp during yesterday's playoff loss to the Colts: 40 degrees
Peyton was playing injured, a lot worse than what they were letting on. He may retire since they pretty much will have a new coaching staff next year. There are rumors that he might buy a stake in the Titans and have a presence in Nashville since the rest of ownership stays in Houston and is largely hands-off. I know it was offered to him 2 yrs ago when he was looking for a new team.
That was a hell of a game yesterday. Maybe the most improbable comeback I've ever seen from a football team...
More of a collapse by Green Bay really. I can't remember ever seeing a starting quarterback look as bad as Russell Wilson did. Green Bay flat out dominated Seattle, they definitely let that one get away from them.
Packer's played horrible in the 4th quarter, kept on running the ball rather than passing and giving the ball back to Seahawks so many times. I guess they thought Russell Wilson and Marshall Lynch would just sit quietly and time expire.
And the cluster fuck on the on side kick made me laugh. He was supposed to block not catch, and Aaron Rodger's, elite QB that just couldn't be elite when needed.
Big Props to Russell Wilson, he took a blind hit and still got up and played good, I think his contract ends end of this year.

Nah, Packer's gave them way too many chances, GB coach fucked it up
Domination would have been going up 28-0 instead of 16-0 after the three short field opportunities SEA gifted them. Teams that don't go for it on 4th and short from midfield (own 40ish) or better lose more often than win. The math doesn't lie. Straight up poor coaching by GB.
I've never seen Seattle play that bad in the Russell Wilson era. And they still won. Crazy.
Biggest comeback in championship game history. WOW. I'm still processing that win, lol...Hawks usually bring their A-game in the 2nd half but that was waaay too gut-wrenching for my liking.
Yeah I can see that argument, especially on the one at the one yard line. Even if you don't convert you've got the offence at a huge disadvantage. But it's not exactly crazy to go for the sure points on the board either.
They showed a crazy stat - Russell Wilson actually had more completions (and for more yards) to Green Bay than his own team in the first half. I don't know what the fuck he was smoking but props to Seattle for not giving up and waking up at the very end.
Once again the lesson is don't get too conservative with a lead. Green Bay outplayed Seattle and let it slip away.
Hey, I'm saying this not to be a dick, but because I'm interested: where have you seen these numbers? Would love to take a look at the math myself -- I find that shit fascinating.
Seahawks are a pretty inspiring team. I got Carrolls book "Win Forever" a while ago but never got around to it. This might be the time. He has this pyramid that he preaches all the time.

I don't have time to find the exact data point but it's on this site somewhere, a FG instead of going for it on 4th and goal from the 1 costs teams on average 1.3 points (difference in 7 -3 x success rate + % of times a safety on next play I imagine?). So are they exactly sure?

That's not why they lost though.
If Bostick blocks like he's been taught to do for onside kicks since day one, Green Bay wins.
Or if Russell Wilson's wounded duck that hung in the air for 18 minutes and 37 seconds on the 2-point conversion, gets picked off or knocked down by Clinton Dix, Green Bay wins.
Or if the DB that got the last pick with 5+ minutes to go in the game runs the ball back like he's been taught to do since he was 8 years old, instead of sliding like there was 30 seconds left in the game, Green Bay wins.
Kicking field goals in the first quarter didn't cost them the game, forgetting how to play football with 5 minutes to go did.
Not that I care, I'm a Lions fan. I'm still salty because Detroit was supposed to play Seattle.
Patriots look very solid, their running game, passing game, defense, GRONK is playing awesome, it's hard to beat them unless Wilson and Lynch play perfect.
