2 duds and 2 studs as Seahawks fall to Packers in divisional round

The Seattle Seahawks fell to the Green Bay Packers in the divisional round to end their season – here are two duds and studs from Sunday.

For a ninth straight time, the Seahawks have come up short at Lambeau Field. On Sunday, Seattle suffered a 28-23 loss at the hands of the Green Bay Packers.

The Seahawks have not won in Green Bay since 1999 and their string of bad luck continued once more as they lost out on a trip back to the NFC Championship game. Seattle also continued its losing streak in divisional-round matchups on the road, as the franchise has not won such a game since 1983.

Although Sunday night featured plenty of questionable officiating, the fact of the matter is the Seahawks squandered plenty of opportunities presented to them. As such, they will now be entering the offseason.

Here are two duds and two studs in Seattle’s frustrating playoff defeat.

All duds and no studs in Seahawks 27-13 loss to Cardinals Week 16

The Seattle Seahawks suffered a devastating loss to the Arizona Cardinals Week 16, with players struggling on both sides of the ball.

For the fifth time in the last seven years, the Seattle Seahawks were embarrassed at home by the Arizona Cardinals. For whatever reason, the Cardinals always seem to know the trick to defeating the Seahawks in Seattle.

Of all the losses in the past seven years, Sunday’s was without a doubt the most disastrous in the recent series. The Seahawks looked absolutely futile in every aspect of the game, leaving little room for hope moving forward.

Before the day began, the Seahawks were on the inside track for the No. 1 seed in the NFC, a first-round bye, and a division title. Now, they are staring directly at a wild card spot, perhaps even as low as the No. 6 seed, with a trip to either Lambeau Field or a return to Philadelphia.

There is no other way to put it – this one was brutal. As a result, there are only duds and no studs in Week 16.

3 Studs and 2 Duds from Seahawks’ besting of Vikings Monday night

Who stood out and who didn’t as the Seattle Seahawks beat the Minnesota Vikings Week 13 on the national stage to advance to No. in the West.

It’s a good time to be a cardiologist in the Seattle area thanks to all these heart-pounding Seahawks games. For the second time in three games, the Seahawks were back on “Monday Night Football” and yet again it came down to a wild fourth quarter.

The Seahawks downed the 8-win Vikings in front of a national audience to improve to 10-2 and take first place in the NFC West. Meanwhile, the Vikings stay put at the No. 6 seed and a game and a half behind the Green Bay Packers in the NFC North.

For whatever reason, the Seahawks can never seem to play a normal game as they always come down to nail-biters late. As a result, here’s who stood out in the Seahawks’ explosive win.
