From Seattle to Milwaukee to Green Bay; Packers vs. Seahawks an emotional roller-coaster!
MILWAUKEE (WITI) -- An emotional roller-coaster ride for Green Bay Packers fans as they watched their team take on the defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks for the NFC title Sunday, January 18th. After leading 16-0 at halftime, the Packers fell to the Seahawks in overtime. From Seattle to Milwaukee to Green Bay, Packers fans were devastated to see the season end.
There was a huge show of support for the Packers at Bar Louie on Water Street in Milwaukee Sunday afternoon. A sea of green and gold -- and most were pumped and confident heading into the game -- and heartbroken when it was over.
On this game day, there was only one team to root for in downtown Milwaukee -- the beloved Green Bay Packers.
Tim Heinle calls himself a die-hard fan.
"When you're a Packers fan, you're part of a family. Everybody that loves the Packers respects you for loving the Packers," Heinle said.
Kelly Dolsky says her heart lies with #12! Where else?!
"He's so cute. He's like, the ultimate guy. If I ever met him I would like, fall over!" Dolsky said.
Falling over is exactly what happened to the Packers in the second half!
"It just reminds me of the old expression: We snatched defeat out of the jaws of victory. Really had it all going. Some unfortunate things happened, and I guess that's just football," Mark Lieberthal said.
As quickly as they came, fans left Bar Louie -- heartbroken to see the season come to an end just shy of the Super Bowl.
The Seahawks, defending Super Bowl champions, are headed back to the big game.
As for the Green Bay Packers -- there's always next season!
