Bostickler Trophy

[Harlan Huckleby]

Capers said Randall should have followed Fitz across the field.

OK, well, so we blame Randall and/or Pepper for the blown coverage, allowing a 20-yard completion. The Packers could survive a 20-yard completion.

What/who allowed Fitz to ramble down the field for a 75 yard dagger? Although about 5 defenders had something of a shot at LF, Shield's brain fart was by far the most atrocious, and it happened at critical moment, allowing a contained LF to break-out into the open field.

Clay didn't help either. He was trailing Fitz and he "pulled up" thinking that Shields would force Fitz out of bounds. If he had known what Shields was going to do, he could have easily tackled Fitz from behind and would have had a great shot at stripping the ball from him.

LF was surrounded by Clay, the sideline, Shields, and Burnett deep. Trapped like a rat. Shields had to push the dude out of bounds. How LF was able to cut back inside and spring free was either because LF is a great player or Shields had a brain freeze. Maybe some of both.

I don't blame Clay at all for that play as he was blitzing and it was only phenomenal effort that he even had a shot at tackling Fitz. I think you have to give it to Shields HH. He clanked the interception that in all likelihood would have secured victory. Throw in the weak tackling effort by him on the OT play and the case appears pretty solid. Although I did like you're initial choice

Don't forget that Shields dropped an interception, maybe even an easier one, on the Cardinals first possession, somewhere around the Cardinals own 30 yard line or so. Could have set the tone for the game with that one.

You're right. Palmer was trying to give the game away and the Packers refused to take it. He hasn't looked sharp the last two games. At all. That's why I think Carolina wins this Sunday.

Maybe Shields was still suffering from the concussion. Maybe he still couldn't see straight.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Huh. I thought the ritual sacrifice of a Mexican would be enough. But it seems the pitchforks and torches are still raised in anger demanding vengeance.

Must lovable, wee Sammy Shields be bostickled?

I am totally on board for this failure to have many fathers.

This is really what gets me. They had Palmer pretty skittish out there between pass rush and coverage for most of the game and they couldn't put the screws down (mostly by picking off a couple more balls). It's pretty much how we figured it up for a Packer win, except they couldn't capitalize on even half of his mistakes (they were 2/6 on INT opportunities from what I remember).

The ball on first bounce was going back toward the 5 yard line. Janis hit it and knocked it toward the goal line. He hit it too hard and the ball was going to go over the goal line. Then all the rolling and jumping and batting ensued. If he had done nothing the Packers down the ball at the 5.

I am sure in Janis's mind he thought he was going to save the Packers 3 or 4 yards trying to down it at the 1 or 2 instead of letting it go back to the 5 on the bounce. Unfortunately, he touched the ball too hard and started the whole process.

I don't know who between TE Richard 'speedy' Rodgers and Jeff 'the Leaper' Janis won this particular (week 5) Bostickler Trophy Award.

By the way...A brialiant design....Harlan 'Michaelangelo' Huckleby

What does it remind me of.....mmmmm ..... Ohh yea !:

Back on point:

Mae and never got back to our Winter life until early Dec. '15 so I wasn't aware of this soon to become renowned award until this evening. Good evening Packerrats..

Reading ThunderDan's description of the .... Jeff 'the Leaper' Janis wanting to do too much errrrr ahhhh play.

That sure appears like a





moment.

A definite deja Vous take on how we exited the NFC playoffs last season.
