The conference championship games concluded Sunday evening with the two most predictable teams moving forth to play in next month’s Super Bowl. Where the Seattle Seahawks victory over the Green Bay Packers was decided in overtime play, the New England Patriots dismantled the Indianapolis Colts piece by piece in the AFC.
How did this play out on social media? Let’s check that out.
How about Green Bay’s 16-0 lead turning into an eventual 28-22 loss to Seattle?
Don’t blame Marshawn Lynch.
Marshawn was crushing dudes when the score was 16-0. In Super Bowl DFS, he should cost your entire salary cap.

Wasn’t this the truth?
its 16-0 @packers but do NOT discount #RussellWilson & the @Seahawks they got a LOT of game left #nflgirlfriends

Russell Wilson’s four interceptions. This guy is probably correct.
@isaachbaker Russell Wilson isn't throwing four interceptions and beating the Patriots.

Jermaine Kearse has been the target for all four of Russell Wilson's interceptions. At least two of them are on him. Horrible.

Botched onside kick by Brandon Bostick.
Ouch…
That poor kid Brandon Bostick who muffed the onside will go down, down in Packers history as the reason Green Bay missed 2015 Super Bowl.

As real #Packers fans we forgive and move on. @Bostick11 isn't the reason we lost. Keep your head up man.

Doug Baldwin’s expletive-laden rant.
These people might want to sleep with one eye open.
I assume Doug Baldwin's rant about doubters included Seahawks fans who left game early? http://t.co/hA3ozed4gE pic.twitter.com/zlklPhab52

The @Seahawks have been awful in this game, but that fake field goal was beautiful.

Even Aaron Rodgers agrees on this one.

Always a skeptic.
How're you gonna give Russell Wilson crap for crying after the game. Youd cry too if you pictured the amount of zeros on his future contract

Then there’s female’s side.

This pretty much sums up the Seahawks/Packers game.

Now for the slaughter of the Colts. How about that “deflated football” accusation against the Patriots?
"@clarencehilljr: Will the nfl destroy those deflated footballs like they did the videotape, asking for a friend">still got my copy! 😉
— Jay Glazer (@JayGlazer) January 19, 2015
This nails it.
So the Colts blame deflated footballs for losing by 38 points…..ummmmm
— Matthew Falkow (@RosterDoc) January 19, 2015
@Ryan_Riddle Damn deflated footballs giving the Patriots a 38 point advantage.

What people think of Andrew Luck’s televised “F” bomb.
Colts’ fans probably let a 100 of these bad-boys escape.

Perfect summary to the Patriots/Colts game.
Dearest Abigail,
I was bested by a stout general they call "Brady."
Yours, Gen. A. Luckhttp://t.co/y18uiUxUr7 pic.twitter.com/pWXJ6KKOL3— SB Nation (@SBNation) January 19, 2015
