Pivotal Play Of the Game

Pivotal Indeed. Good Call.

Blackmon played a shitty game. He let pretty much every punt bounce before going for it. He was quite a ways away from that ball that hit Bush.

Agreed. Its feast or famine with Blackmon, and I'm more than a little hungry. He doesnt seem very football-smart. On ST, and definitely not on defense.

Normally I will be calling for Bush's head for this type of play but if you get a chance to watch it again Bush was being held big time and blocked right into the ball. It's hard to move away from the play when somebody has two hands clutched onto your jersey. After the ball hit his leg the bare player drove him into the frozen turf.

I agree. That was in the first half right? We may have even gone up 21 - 3 which probably would have been to big of a lead for even MM to give up in the second half.

No, it was the first series of the 2nd half. Defense came out and got a 3 and out, Bears punted, and it hit Bush.

Definitely the pivotal play of the game. Agreed.

I've hated Bush for over a year now, but I don't fault him for this one. A combination of Blackmon not giving him enough notice (and maybe not moving up enough to field the punt in the first place) and simply a tough break.

Actually I blame Bush big time. On one of the replays ESPN played, before teh ball even hits the ground, you can hear Blackmon yelling FIRE FIRE FIRE, yet bush kept running towards him.

Yeah. While being held.

That was just such a f#@$ up play all around. Did Blackmon really do the wrong thing? It was a wind blown punt that he thought he didn't have a chance of fielding cleanly - so he go out of the way, like he's supposed to.

My vote for pivitol moments? The two INT's the D made, that the O didn't convert on. Both times, Bear fans said 'that's the game, and our season'. Both time, we didn't put the dagger in them.

Losing the coin flip for overtime. Pivotal, given this defense.
