The Green Bay Packers have lost 17 playoff games in my lifetime. I know, because I’m a die-hard "Cheesehead” who can tell you where I was for every single one of them.

Most of those losses came during the Brett Favre era, and we sketched out the type of juvenile behavior that led to over the summer before his induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Yet the seven playoff losses under Mike McCarthy have taken that to the next level. Green Bay had a 15-1 record wiped away on Jan. 15, 2012, in a 37-20 loss to the New York Giants. It watched Colin Kaepernick run all over the place in a 45-31 loss to San Francisco on Jan. 12, 2013. Those are painful.

The other five losses, however, were decided on the last play. Four of those losses were in overtime. They stick out as much as anything because of their sadistic nature. They tell a story; a painful story worth reading. I don’t need a YouTube video to show that pain. It’s still there.

Here’s how I coped with Green Bay’s five last-play playoff losses under McCarthy.

N.Y. Giants 23, Green Bay 20, OT (2007)

When: NFC championship

The last play: Lawrence Tynes kicked a 47-yard field goal in overtime.

Who I yelled at most: Tom Coughlin. I can’t think of that game without thinking about Coughlin’s cherry-red frozen face in those sub-zero temperatures. It sure didn’t affect his game plan.

True story: I asked my future father-in-law for permission to marry his daughter the day before the game then tried to be on my best behavior while watching the game with those in-laws. They left shortly after all the multi-syllable choice words I had for all-things Giants after Donald Driver’s 90-yard TD reception in the second quarter. I didn’t have time to worry about that. The fourth quarter of that game was excruciating all the way up until Tynes’ missed field goal. Overtime barely started when Corey Webster intercepted Brett Favre on the second play. The loss hurt, and it’s the last one where I could not physically sleep afterward. But hey, I got engaged before the Giants ruined the Patriots’ undefeated season. I'm still married and those in-laws still put up with me to that day. I’d call that a win.

Arizona Cardinals 51, Green Bay 45, OT (2009)

When: NFC wild card

The last play: Karlos Dansby returned a fumble 17 yards in overtime on a play in which the officials missed a facemask penalty on Aaron Rodgers. Again, second play of overtime. For some reason the first play, where Rodgers just missed Greg Jennings on a deep pass, sticks out more.

Who I yelled at most: Kurt Warner. I had a lot of pent up aggression from that time Warner and the Rams destroyed Favre and the Packers in the 2001-02 divisional playoffs.

True story: My friend Romando came over to my apartment and somehow slept through the whole game, perhaps worn out for cheering against the Patriots in their loss to Ravens in the early game. I seriously don’t know how, considering all the screaming. He slept through one of the most exciting playoff games of all time. Rodgers was awesome in his first playoff start with 423 yards and four TDs, but Warner just had to throw for 379 yards and five TDs. Romando woke up just in time for overtime, and I told him, “You missed like the best game ever.” Then Dansby returned the fumble. I said, “I meant worst game ever.”

San Francisco 23, Green Bay 20 (2013)

When: NFC wild card

The last play: Phil Dawson ended the game with a 33-yard field goal. Then a bunch of Browns fans populated my timeline saying how they happy they were for Dawson. I did not share their enthusiasm.

Who I yelled at most: Colin Kaepernick and Michael Crabtree. They torched the Packers in the playoffs the previous season, and they did it again. I enjoyed none of it.

True story: This was the first playoff game I watched with my wife and both children, and my three-month-old daughter loved it so much that, after John Kuhn’s TD run in the fourth quarter, she puked all over the long-sleeve Packers shirt I wear for every playoff game. Like, all over it. It was terrible. Green Bay led 17-13 at the time, so the decision was easy. I kept the shirt on even though I gagged a few times in the process, and my wife held my daughter for the remainder of the game, way on the other side of the room. This strategy worked so well that the 49ers won on the last play of the game on that freaking Dawson field goal. I immediately changed shirts.

Seattle 28, Green Bay 22, OT (2014)

When: NFC championship

The last play: Russell Wilson threw a 35-yard pass to Jermaine Kearse for a walk-off win in overtime. I did not know it was Kearse who caught the ball until just now, because I’ve only watched the play the one time.

Who I yelled at most: Wilson. Oh, I loved the four-interception, five-sack meltdown. This was all residual effects of the “Fail Mary.”

True story: That’s just it. With the exception of the 1995-96 NFC championship against Dallas, I’ve never wanted Green Bay to beat a team more than I did that day. The Packers played like they wanted this one, too. That was evident from the start. They beat Seattle for three quarters and change, and a series of ridiculous things happened that led to the meltdown. I spent way too much time on Twitter during this game, too. Way too much wasted energy. I will never do that again.

So the Packers lost, and I just kind of sat staring at the living room floor and did not move for maybe, I don’t know, 45 minutes. There are few things worse than the sinking feeling of knowing your favorite team’s season is over. I can’t imagine how the players feel. My natural instinct is to get away immediately, so I went to the store and bought a birthday cake for my wife, which fell on the next day. I didn’t say anything to the cashier, who just kind of motioned at me toward the ground. I didn’t have shoes or socks on. That’s how disorienting that loss was. (At least I still had pants on.)

Arizona 26, Green Bay 20, OT (2015)

When: NFC divisional round

The last play: Larry Fitzgerald caught a five-yard TD on a shove pass, this time on the third play in overtime.

Who I yelled at most: Carson Palmer. I was very mean to Palmer for three hours, and I like Palmer.

True story: So, this requires a longer explanation. I covered the Browns-Cardinals game for SN on Nov. 1 of that season, and for no apparent reason, a fully-padded Fitzgerald hugged me in the locker room afterward. I had no idea why. I just said, “Thank you,” and moved on. What a nice guy, for real.

For this playoff game, my buddy Kurt — a Browns fan — came over as the buffer. We didn’t talk about Phil Dawson. This game was awesome. Green Bay, an underdog, outplayed the Cardinals for most of the game. Palmer threw a fluke TD pass to Michael Floyd on a tipped ball. Rodgers threw his second Hail Mary of the season on the last play — and I definitely ran outside and screamed because I didn’t want to wake up those two kids or get my shirt puked on. But once again, I couldn’t settle in for overtime. Fitzgerald caught a 72-yard TD and a five-yard TD. Well played, indeed. That was the highest of highs and lowest of lows in a five-minute span.

Then it hit me. That’s why Fitzgerald hugged me in the locker room back in November. It was his way of saying he was sorry for what he was going to do to me in the future. Well played, Larry.
