**Heartbreaking Loss for Packers**
The Packers suffered one of their most devastating losses, with a chance to change the outcome slipping away during crucial moments.
James from Paris, France
Vic, do you think the Packers lost focus in the fourth quarter, thinking about the Super Bowl instead of securing the win?
The loss resulted from not making plays at critical times. Championship teams excel during crunch time, and while the Packers had shown this ability throughout the season, something inexplicable happened in the final seven minutes of the game. A switch seemed to turn off, affecting performance, not Coach McCarthy’s play-calling. For example, a crucial third-and-4 pass was dropped.
Gary from Bristow, VA
Vic, will the loss at Buffalo and missed opportunities against Seattle make the Packers stronger in 2015, or will roster changes mean starting from scratch?
It’s back to square one. Every team changes in the offseason, beginning anew each year.
David from Tacoma, WA
Vic, how did the defense, which dominated all game, suddenly fail to stop Seattle?
The defense went from allowing no points to conceding 21 points in the Seahawks’ next three possessions. It felt like a switch was turned off, though the reason remains unclear.
Tim from Rosario, Argentina
Did the team lose its edge after Burnett’s interception?
Yes, the Packers lost their edge. After Burnett’s interception, it seemed like the game was over, but it wasn’t. The Packers might have thought so too.
Ted from Findlay, OH
Vic, we need your help to cope with this loss. I’m hurt, bitter, and don’t even want to watch the Super Bowl.
I empathized with Packers fans, especially those who attended the pep rally. This loss is tough, but we’ll get through it because, in the end, it’s just a game.
Jake from Sacramento, CA
How do you move on after a loss like that? What would Vic the fan do?
Vic is trying to minimize the importance of football in his life today.
Jim from Appleton, WI
I can’t sleep or eat. I feel heartbroken.
You did have your heart broken.
Tim from Brazil, IN
How surprised are you the Packers defense played so well for three-and-a-half quarters?
It’s too soon to look forward to next year. I need a break from football. Interviews from the Senior Bowl will happen, but my heart isn’t in it.
Michael from Berlin, Germany
Vic, I heard Brandon Bostick didn’t follow his responsibility on the onside kick. What would Coach Ketchman do with such a player?
Teach and develop him. Punishment isn’t the answer. He already feels enough pain from the mistake.
Jackson from Curitiba, Brazil
What do you think cost us the game? Was it one or two plays or a change in the game plan in the second half?
Choose any play the Packers didn’t make during crunch time.
Robby from Loma Rica, CA
Vic, it’s 2:30 a.m., and I’m wide awake. When’s the last time you covered such a heartbreaking loss?
I’ve never covered a game that hurt as much as this one.
Isaac from Lubec, ME
What does Coach McCarthy need to fix this offseason about the team or himself as a coach?
