![]() ![]() Ryan: I’m instantly into football mode, where I’m figuring out which way we were going to run it. ![]() As I was running on the field, I looked at Brian Schneider and he said, “Charlie Brown.”ĭan Quinn (defensive coordinator): I was in the press box and thought, “What a ballsy call.” We had our first decent drive, and it happened so quick. Ryan: It came a point in that third quarter where we just had nothing. Morgan: That Big Balls Pete thing goes back even to SC, when he would make calls on fourth down. Big Balls Pete.” Just trying to get in his ear, over and over. We’re going to call it.” Whenever something like that happened, whenever I walked by Pete, I’d just be like, “Big Balls Pete. Ryan: On Thursday, Friday and Saturday, they kept telling me, “We’re going to call it. Jon Ryan can do it all: Strong, throw the ball, all that good stuff. So the next day, we introduced the Charlie Brown. Ryan: He called me Wednesday night and asked me what we should call the play. For this one, he was like, “I’ve got something here.” That Tuesday, we’d always come in and say, “Hey, what are you seeing this week, Schneider?” Every game there’s some type of fake. Mike Morgan (linebacker and special-teams leader): Some of our core special teams guys would come in early on Tuesday. Ryan: When we were breaking down film, (special teams) coach Brian Schneider saw that they would consistently crash off the wide side of the field during field goals. Then, with a little over four minutes left in the third quarter, the Seahawks showed their first signs of life - from a very unlikely source. Several players remember strong safety Kam Chancellor, a quiet but unquestioned leader, giving a rare talk in the locker room. McDaniel: I can remember sitting on the bench thinking like, “Fuck it, I’m going to fly to Miami, fly to Vegas and get drunk so I can forget how bad I feel.” I was sitting on the bench looking at the sky. Talking about going to back-to-back Super Bowls, but the way that game felt for the three quarters was that they showed up and just shit themselves. ![]() I just remember being like, “Man, we just have nothing today.”ĭave ‘Softy’ Mahler (radio host): It was just depressing, man. I think we went down 16-0 - and it should have been worse. Ryan: It was the most awful start we could possibly have. They beat Carolina in the divisional round of the playoffs to set up a rematch with Aaron Rodgers and the Packers, whom Seattle had defeated 36-16 in the first week of the season. The Seahawks caught fire late in the 2014 season and won their final six regular-season games. I think it sums up that whole era of Seahawks football. It was just the most improbable win, and it really did take the entire team. We throw a miracle two-point conversion, and a guy that has dropped balls all day catches a touchdown pass in overtime, and the kicker has an onside kick. A reserve offensive lineman caught a touchdown pass. I mean, the punter threw a touchdown pass. Jon Ryan (punter): When you look back at everything that happened, it took the whole team that day. Like, you had to actually witness it to believe it. Luke Willson (tight end): By far the wildest game I’ve played in.īryan Walters (wide receiver): By far the craziest game I’ve ever been a part of.Ĭliff Avril (defensive end): It was definitely one of those games you couldn’t have written in a book. Whatever you do on the internet is your own business, but we simply cannot have the links posted here.Rocky Seto (secondary coach): I still look back and think, “How did we win that one?” But try not to curse or use foul language, we won't accept it.ĭo not post any links to illegal online streams.

Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers is 6-4 in the postseason, while Seattle's Russell Wilson is 5-1.ĮDIT: Feel free to discuss the game below. The game is also the battle between two of the game's best coaches, and two of its premier quarterbacks. The Seahawks try to become the first team since the 2004 Patriots to play in consecutive title games, while the Packers try to reach the franchise's fifth Super Bowl. It is the battle between the NFL's highest scoring offense and the league's best scoring defense. The Green Bay Packers, coming off a 26-21 victory over the Dallas Cowboys, travel to Seattle to face the NFC's number one seeded Seahawks, who won 31-17 against the Carolina Panthers last week. ![]()
