Wolf Says Holmgren Lost The Super Bowl

[Joemailman]

Good comments all.

Sour Grapes is always low class.

Yeah the D had a tough nite. That was the virtual unveiling of the Gibbs ZBS and Fritz was unsure how stop it. Gary Zimmmermann spanked the pathetic Darius Holland play after play. The loss of Gabe Wilkins was huge and never was compensated for.

I've always thought that this game left bad blood BTW Wolf and MH. The move a few years later to make Shermie HC & GM was to slap Holmey. It was like, "we couldn't do that for you, but this guy is a team guy and we'll give it to him".

I think Harlan and Wolf wanted to rub MH's nose in it a little.

Gabe definitely hurt, but i also remember that Holmgren made a choice not to have another DL on the active lineup..went with I think and offensive player.

I can't recall who that DL was, but i remember thinking during the game, geez we need that guy out there...well, we a body at least.

My recollection is that they went with an extra DB because Tyrone Williams had had some back spasms during the week leading up to the game. Wolf got a little testy when asked about the decision by reporters afterward.

I also have a problem with the assertion (ex-coach testimony or not) that Holmy had no schemes for a weak side blitz. That Packer team ran great screens, draws, quicks, and Brett was as quick on the trigger as any QB, including Montana and Marino.

Our left side Oline was a little weak, but Wanda blitzes by the Broncos were not the reason the GBP didn't win that Super Bowl.

Ron, go to yer favorite Maryland restaurant, order the crabs and , please shut the fuck up.

The Wolf/Holmgren relationship really soured when Holmgren tried to steal most of the front office staff from Green Bay when he went to Seattle. I think Wolf has carried a grudge ever since.
