Packers vs. bengals '92...

[Patler]

I wonder how Packer fans would have felt about Buckley if it weren't for his mouth? He lasted a lot of years and had 50 interceptions. The Packer career record is 52 by Dillon. Willie Wood is second with 48. No one else has even 40 as a Packer.

If Buckley had accumulated all of those picks in Green Bay and if he kept his mouth shut? I think his legacy would be similar to that of Glenn Robinson. High draft pick who didn't live up to the hype, scored a ton of points, gave up even more. Not particularly likable, but he didn't talk much so people generally gave him a pass.

But he didn't keep his mouth shut and he didn't get most of those picks in Green Bay. So instead he's what? The rich man's Ahmad Carroll? And much like Tony Mandarich, the biggest tragedy is missing out on other great players (in this case Troy Vincent).

C'mon now. Buckley doesn't deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence as Carroll. Buckley was a bona-fide NFL starter for many years. Carroll never should've set foot in the NFL.

They just played it again on NFLN.

Man - what a great end to that game! Amazing to see Favre so young and extremly emotional afterwards. And all the crap that T-Buck gets here - he had that 58 yard punt return to touch off the rally... imagine if that hadn't happened. Sure, Favre would still be a legend but wouldn't have had that special start.

Thanks T-buck (never thought I'd say that).

Sure, but the cocky bastard could have easily fumbled that one away holding the ball out away from his body with one hand while still in traffic at the 20 yard line. You get chewed out in high school for pulling a stunt like that. Damn rookies...

He fumbled late in the game on a punt return. It almost cost them the game, but the defense held the Bengals to a FG.

I agree with Leaper on this one. Buckley was a legitimate NFL corner. Not a great one, but a legitimate one. The guy was a starter for 8 years with three different teams and played 14 years. His cover skills were good. His run support not quite so much, but he wasn't a guy that got burned in the passing game all the time. He was good enough to contribute in a Super Bowl game and get his ring.

Certainly a much better player than Carroll ever was.

that game was a snapshot of t-bucks time in gb

he drops an int, and makes a good play in coverage a bit later, then returns a punt for a td, then fumbles a punt a bit later

guy was frustrating, but he did play for 13 years or so
