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

[Bossman641]

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.

Tobin Cornelius Rote died: June 27, 2000 (aged 72) in Saginaw, Michigan.

I remember Tobin Rote being a big star for the Toronto Argonauts back in the early 1960's. I was an Ottawa Rough Riders fan in the CFL back then as well as a Green Bay Backer fan.

Tobin Rote was very special.

** His 38 TD passes in 1960 was an all-time CFL record.

** In 1961 Tobin Rote completed a 108 yard pass play to 'Florida Gator Great Jim Rountree' that's still a team record.

** In 1960 Rote threw 7 touchdown passes in a game twice and a CFL record at that time.

kindof explains itself

The only team I despise more than the Seattle Seahawks, is the New England Patriots, which is very Ironic.
I love the Celtics, and the Red Sox. If they have an MSL Soccer team, ...... so be it.
It's really got not so much to do about the people that play it on the field as much as it has to do with.....The Owners,
of said teams.

Getting back on topic, Tobin Rote, .....did Bqart Starr not replace him at QB? I need some help here.
Also, how does one add an Avatar to their Profile. Or am I on my own to figure that out.

Del

And when may I post attachments? I see I am allowed to post idiotic icons.

The Green Bay Starting QB prior to Bart Starr was Tobin Rote.

Tobin Rote played in 73 games as the Packer QB between 1950 - 56.

Bart Starr took over and played 1 game in 1956.

For your other questions try a PM to pbmax.

Yo Woodbuck, thanks for the advice, pbmax.

Today, your AVERAGE NFL quarterback is bigger than Ray Nitschke.
How messed up is that?

I am bigger than Bart Starr by 2 inches, and 25 punds less.
Would Zeke Bartkowski have been worried?

I am 60 years old, and was blessed to have been born skinny.
But in an Alternate universe, I probably would have took Zeeke's job.
After I set his car on fire.

Del,

The Old NFL,.....it was a differant time.
