New Guy, Packer Fan since 1958, has an opinionn about the Collapse in the NFC Championship Game

[vince]

Football is definitely a game of emotions but it takes more.

Maybe it has to do with how much people played the game but I'm amazed at how so many fans consistently attribute failure with a lack of passion or "playing scared" or not having a "killer instinct".

Those are meaningless emotional responses by fans after the fact - not the team - to a failure to execute at key points.

The coaches and players had plenty of passion, killer instinct and aggressiveness. None of that is the reason they lost control of the game.

Hell, if Brandon Bostick had just allowed his brain to drive his actions rather than his passion, emotion, killer instinct, or whatever else you want to call it in that pivotal situation, the Packers would be on their way to the Super Bowl today.

It's a tired cliche.
