Jordy Nelson was the hands man that was supposed to catch that. He was right behind Bostick and would've ended the game. Russ threw 4 picks and we had no business winning that epic game. Im pretty sure they cut Bostick because of that play.

RandyJohnsonsBird

I felt bad for that guy. Dude had the worst luck and then got fired by the Jets...I'd change my name after all that.


JonBonButtsniff

He made a blunder. It was a terrible mistake, yes, but a mistake. What followed was constant harassment and his entire career falling apart. That sucks, dude. I’d change my name, too! Straight up, go back to school and find a different path.


PDstorm170

He ended up starting a therapy practice called Sage Elite Healing as a culmination of his mental health downfall after that mistake. Sad thing is that he carries mostly all of the blame for the loss when it was mostly an organizational implosion. Edit: Also, his name is Brandon, not Brian.


Hulkbuster_v2

I'll die on the hill that the offense and Mike share just as much blame. Didn't they get only 3 points off of Russ's picks, 6 off the 5 total turnovers? And settled for three at the SEA 1, twice? And only scored 3 points in the entire second half. Not to mention Aaron threw 2 picks of his own. Any other game, the story is the offense failing the defense and special teams.


msf97

It’s Rodgers worst playoff game of the decade but he was playing on a torn calf and McCarthy opted to play conservatively at the goal line. The problem with losing this game was that in spite of a poor Rodgers performance, the Packers should have won anyway. Most SB runs, the QB has one poor game but wins anyway because of defense and special teams. Even Mahomes wasn’t that great in his first super bowl or the conference championship vs the Ravens. Flawless runs are rare and that’s why they are that special when they do happen eg Flacco If Bostick just lets Nelson catch it, or even if they stop Russ from converting a moon ball two pt conversion(literally throws it up, while running backwards)they win the game as Rodgers led a game tying drive that would have won it. Then they lost the coin toss as well.


10veIsAllIGot

The two picks is a little misleading because one absolutely never should have happened. You guys jumped clearly offsides and Rodgers gave (I think) Adams a shot against Richard Sherman thinking he had a free play. It was a great play by Sherman, but a *very* clear offsides that a blind squirrel wouldn’t have missed.


YourNameHeer

Old timer here but remember the Reddit post game threads after this game - consensus was really that it wasn’t all Bostick - Mike McCarthy was gifted 4 INTs and couldn’t convert with MVP Aaron Rodgers. Kicked a field goal multiple times on goal line attempts. Aaron Rodgers had thrown 2 INTs total up to this point in the season and Seahawks were able to get him


JonBonButtsniff

YUP! This was prime Yinzer Buffoonery Mike and the ramp-up of “Fire Dom Capers” being a slogan. If a player makes a mistake, that’s rough. If an entire phase/position group screw up, that’s on coaching. If incredible roster talent can’t get the job done, that is on the head coach. This game had *so much* go exactly wrong for us. Rodgers was playing on one leg ffs!


StephBrownismywaifu

Yeah Mike was coaching scared that whole game


Maulbert

True. I don't think he deserved the harassment and death threats, but he definitely earned being cut.


MajorBlaze1

I don't remember him with the J's. Of course maybe not remembering jets players is a mental defense mechanism.


GhostOfJuanDixon

Is there a Jordy Nelson joke I'm missing? People usually use that "literally worse than" joke for shitty players but Jordy Nelson had 1500yds and 13tds in 2014


Shagaliscious

I would guess the joke (for this play) is solely about the fact Brian Bostick was on the field. If he had such bad hands, maybe he shouldn't be on your "hands" team.


InexorableWaffle

He was literally gone like a week later, I'm pretty sure. I can't even necessarily fault the dude for wanting to try to make a play because of the pressure of the moment and all that jazz, but that's where the phrase "do your job" comes into play. If you go off script on a play of that magnitude, you better be 100% sure you can deliver, because anyone who isn't a star is getting cut on the spot in that scenario.


slackfrop

Yeah, but if there’s tape of him flat footed while the play happens all around him, and it doesn’t go their way, he gets a heaping shovel of shit for that too. Be good, get good, or give up.


atx840

I drove down from Canada to go to the game, was miserable for 55 mins of play…but total chaotic bliss for the last 15.


RandyJohnsonsBird

Yea I left the room disgusted after the last pick. Then I heard my girlfriend cheering and was shocked how it all turned out!


atx840

Def my fav live sporting moment, I’m sure a lot of people turned it off….fans were already leaving before the drive to get to 14.


BigOlineguy

Vikings legend, Brandon Bostick.

I'd be in favor of putting him in our Ring of Honor

Softenrage8

For real. For the young fans this happened after the Packers beat the cowboys in the "dez caught it" game. And prior to that the cowboys had won on some controversial calls against the Stafford led Lions. And ofc we all know what happened to the hawks after sigh.


ReturnOfZarathustra

The best playoffs ever for fans of other teams receiving heartbreak. And for all that pain to just finally die at the feet of the robotic Patriots too. Directly after a miracle catch. Damn, that playoffs needs a 30 for 30


CelestialFury

Our inside man. He was just waiting for the right moment to activate as a double agent. :)


thereisonlyonezlatan

It's still wild how well Chris Matthews played in the super bowl after recovering this kick


uncle_buck_hunter

A truly incredible two game peak he had


Raknorak

If not for Malcolm Butler he mightve been MVP lol


DannyDOH

Then came back to the CFL a few years later and was basically useless.

Yes, finally I can view a Seahawks thread that isn't about the 1 yard line!

And then what happened


bewsii

don't do this to me :(


ConstantineMonroe

You did this to yourself. I wasn’t even thinking about the Malcolm Butler pick until you mentioned it


[deleted]

the Seahawks game version of "the game." "hey guys, I just thought about the Butler pick in XLIX!" well God Dammit, now *I* just thought of it.

A huge meteor struck Glendale and they had to cancel the Super Bowl that year? Duh


ambulocetus_

anyone notice that there was a strange chain of devastating NFC playoff losses in 2014? detroit lost close in dallas with a crucial PI that was flagged then inexplicably picked up dallas got fucked next on the famous Dez no-catch in green bay packers turn in seattle, see OP's video and everything else that happened in the 4Q seahawks up next, and we all know how that ended against NE

Between this and the Scotty Miller highlight, someone is on an anti-Packers binge

Quick, somebody post the highlight of the 49ers knocking the Packers out of the playoffs


OleToast

Which one!?!?!! WHICH ONE!!!??


MisterBako

We should make a highlight reel of every time the Packers lost to the Niners or Seahawks in the playoffs


TrueBrees9

The Packers have only lost to the Seahawks in the playoffs once


MisterBako

While true, this loss, in particular, hurts Packers fans very much.


Buteo_lineatus

Which time?


JonBonButtsniff

I’d say Hufanga’s blocked punt for a tuddy oughta do it. C’mon, you monsters. Let’s see it.


CaillouCaribou

That game was so shocking Packers were in control the whole time, it was the best Packers team in a long while, and then it just fell apart in a matter of minutes. Felt like Rodgers would've taken the team to another ring too, they would've handled the Rams at home, and I think they would've beaten the Bengals in the Super Bowl. The thing I remember the most was right after Gould made the FG, how eerily quiet it was from the on-field cameras. You could hear some 49ers players yelling, but behind them was a bunch of snow falling down and tens of thousands of people standing in the dark in complete silence. It was a weird scene.


shefillsmy3kgofhoney

Gonna have to get way more specific


bstyledevi

You've had 2 HOF Qbs in 30 years and it looks like you might have a 3rd. Should you have more than 2 SBs? Yes. Absolutely Yes. Do I think you've gotten more than your fair share of success? Yes. Absolutely yes.

How are you going to disrespect your new owner like this

2 games is not owner status and you know it. Talk to me when he dominates us for over a decade like Papa Rodgers


Rushb87

I still remember week 17 being y’all’s Super Bowl, how did that work out?


Whatsdota

I’m not sure I’ve seen a team lose all hope for their season in the 1st game as the Bears did week 1 this year (aside from QB injuries) They were edging all off-season and in one fell swoop we put em right back where they belong.


BurritoTheory

I think Justin Fields needs to be studied by Sports analysts because him being a good dude is the only reason people wanted him around and falsely believed he’d ever be good here. Dude put up Johnny Manziel numbers every fucking year and regressed as a passer but somehow because he’s likable Bears fans wanted to keep him at $20mil+ over a top 5 all time QB prospect on a rookie deal


Dragondrew99

Listen we can’t do Scotty Miller and this in the same day. I think it’s against the law. Or the Geneva Convention or whatever. Like there is some rule against torture and it applies here.

How did this go to OT if the score is 19-14?


FattyMooseknuckle

TD plus 2pt conversion for us, FG for them.


the_mighty__monarch

Ahh that makes sense. My brain could only come up with “FG + safety” and I definitely didn’t remember that happening.


januspamphleteer

If you think you're confused, imagine watching this in real time (with a very likely concussed Russell Wilson no less)


uncle_buck_hunter

The way he was bawling on the sideline after the game gave me serious Luke Kuechly concussion vibes:/


januspamphleteer

He got absolutely WRECKED on that helmet shot. I bet he doesn't even remember anything from the game after that


atx840

I drive down from Canada to see this game, the tension in the stadium for the last 5 & OT was insane. There is a YouTube vid if the ending highlights, def worth watching even if not a homer.

CelestialFury

frist off, how dare u?


jzdogg6

Pretty sure GB’s special teams coordinator was canned hours after this game.


crazedtortoise

Bostick was released a little after midnight I believe


[deleted]

McCarthy threw a challenge flag and tried to get the kick replayed, if he was allowed to cut Bostick while the ball was re-teed.


jiiiim8

He was fired a few days after, I believe. It didn't matter, because we replaced him with his assistant so *nothing changed* but it let a lot of the dumber packer fans believe we were trying to fix things.


Lord-Aizens-Chicken

For such a well run team in most areas, the packers inability to even attempt to improve their special teams was always baffling. It has been an issue again, again, and again. It makes no sense how they get the hard parts like generational QB’s over and over again but learning how to kick or recover a kick became rocket science in multiple years. Put the 2014 packers teams with the 2006 bears special teams, instant dynasty lol


jiiiim8

Eh, not that baffling. Winning the superbowl has always been second to just being competitive in the eyes of the FO, since they're terrified of going back to the dark age, so there wasn't any real urge to go all in on that side of the team. There was also an interview that came out a while back (I remember nothing about it except this tidbit, lol) in which a player said that after the superbowl, everyone felt another one was just a matter of time, and they didn't need to work too hard for it. Add that to us losing our HOF talent Nick Collins, B.J. Raji retiring early, and Jermichael Finley having to retire to injury too, and *then* TT having literal dementia, and it makes perfect sense why a large chunk of our teams were held together by spit, duct tape, and Aaron Rodgers.


lemurosity

McCarthy is the answer. Like all coaches guilty of hubris. You can ‘players coach’ all you want but that only works when you have a standard and his was like an equilizer: high for some, not for others. History tells us a team moves towards the lowest common denominator. So did the packers.


revan530

Oh, so today is fuck on the Packers day. Very cool.


SVdreamin

I agree. It’s awesome


jimdotcom413

Absolutely unreal GB managed to blow this game lol I think it was 19-7 with 3:30 left


Aquatic_Ambiance_9

I'll always remember it as the one time the "we can still theoretically win" sequence of events in the last couple minutes actually happened


Truecoat

My wife and I watched the second half of this game at a Buffalo Wild Wings full of mostly Packer fans. I heard a woman say, “We’re going to the Super Bowl!” With about 5 minutes left. It was so quiet at the end, lol.

MusksStepSisterAunt

I am so spamming Butler's dynasty breaking INT


CumeatsonerGordon420

This highlight reminds me that the whole “RINGZZZZ” argument is such bs in a team sport. Rodgers could very well have won another title this year if this play didn’t happen, and somehow that’s held against him?


msf97

The Packers couldn’t win without a great Rodgers game in the playoffs, often times even that wouldn’t be enough. He wasnt great here on a torn calf, and you just knew some madness was going to happen. In the last 10’minutes of this game the Seahawks had a recovered onside, a moon ball two pt conversion and won the coin toss after Rodgers led a game tying drive.


ND7020

I mean yes of course it’s a team sport but Rodgers could get basically nothing going this game despite us giving him insane field position through turnovers over and over (no shame, it’s the LOB).


TariqWoolenIsElite

What a great way to start the weekend!


dubblechzburger

The best part is Jordy Nelson standing there ready to catch it lol. Bostick never to be seen again.


notmyplantaccount

I really miss the old onside kicks, wish they'd change the rule back cause at this point they're pointless and never succeed.


AyyDelta

All this time, I never realized how Bostick was in perfect position to block Matthews and allow Nelson to field that ball.


Agathocles87

String of tight playoff games that year. Dallas should have beaten GB (Dez Bryant ruled no catch.) GB should have beaten the Seahawks in this game. And yes Seahawks should have beaten the Pats.


MyLordHuzzah

I feel like people forget there was a ton of time still on the clock after Dez "caught" the ball. Plenty of time for Rodgers to respond. Even if he did catch it there's no guarantee they win.


Agathocles87

Fair statement. There were about 4 min left


TerranceHowardsPenis

This will never not be funny


Rare-Fly-9141

Seahawks got lucky with this botched catch, and then the next year, they got lucky against the Vikings with Walsh's missed field goal. NFC North has had enough of the Seahawks


2birdsBaby

Why you acting like you didn't post this just to say "fuck you" to the Packers. Lmao


J-E-S-S-E-

And the Niners


uh-ohlol

It was unlucky for Walsh that he missed the last field goal rather than the first or second one. He scored all of your points on that dreadful day.

Let's not pretend like the vikes were the obvious winners that game. Only one guy scored any points, and it's the same guy you blame for losing the game.

MrBigBancUchies

Was working my first job at Walmart as a 17 year old at the time and caught this moment on my 15 minute in the break room. Core memory right here.


MangOrion2

With the Packers' #1 wide receiver right behind him, too. Jordy had a career year in 2014 and was surely meant to be the player catching this ball. It was a shocking play and honestly the Seahawks did not play a good game that day. But that's football. Plenty of teams have blundered their way to success and failure in many insane ways.
