What I didn't like was the play calls after the interception. GB should have gone for the jugular at that point. Instead, they played it conservatively and were playing not to lose instead of playing to win - run, run, run, punt - meanwhile Seattle calling timeouts between each run. GB should have shoved the ball down their throat after that interception and they failed to do so.

I'll repeat it again. Downing the ball is the smart thing to do. If you don't belive me, ask Jeremy Lane this morning.
