I disagree. The Packers dominated the game for over three and a half quarters. The defense didn't give up any points until about 3 minutes left in the game. After that, everything went Seattle's way - the onside kick (that should have been recovered by GB), the 2 point conversion (I'm still shaking my head on that one) and then the coin toss - Seattle got all the lucky breaks within the last three minutes.
If the GB fans are to be embarrassed, it should be because of the coaching, not the players. GB had the ball 4th and Goal on the Seattle one yard line TWICE in the first quarter and they should have gone for it - especially on the road against Seattle. Instead, they elected for field goals. When GB got the 4th interception, they had great field position (GB 43 yard line). At that point, instead of playing to win, they were playing not to lose. Poor play calling - run, run, run, punt. They should have shoved the ball down Seattle's throat instead of playing it so conservatively.
