If we can resurrect the Bostickler Trophy for the playoffs (creative credit to Harlan), I nominate Marcus Williams for his poor timing and whiffing ability.

The queens game, we have not seen a improbable victory like that in sports since the soon-to-be 1-2-3 kid defeated Razor Ramon.

The playoffs seem to bring about the 'crazy' plays.

Super bowl helmet catches, Wilsons INT on the goal line, Aaron's multiple hail Mary's, Bostick, etc, etc.

Not trying to take away the win from the Vikes. It was improbable and crazy. But there have been at least 10-12 of those in games that were as or of greater importance.

desperation does that.

Did they hand 43 a red cape before that play? WTF rookie. Stop in place, wait for him to land, make the tackle.

Happy-ish for Vikings fans I suppose. But man, what a Bostick level play that was.

That’s what I don’t get with Jimmy Johnson’s explanation. 43 had the play right in front of him. Just slow down. There was never a reason to worry about dpi. The play was right in front of him.

He was already closing on him as he might normally. Then he realizes he might get there an instant too soon. So he ducks and goes for the less obvious interference by taking out his legs.

He also could have been trying to plant him in the turf rather than wrestle an airborne player to the turf without getting near the sideline. Risky, but I could sort of see it.

Not a good play, but I definitely think he was trying something out of the ordinary. Haven't see the rookie play much but I doubt that is his normal tackling style.

Vikings fans finally know what it's like to have Rodgers.

Huh?? Are you suggesting Keenum = Rodgers??

[Pugger]

hey, I have a friend who is a New Orleans fan and I need some advice on what to tell him tomorrow. Can the constitutive complainers here (Red, Woodcock, Runt, Yeti, etc. ) tell me which essential football rules New Orleans violated that Minnesota followed and who all should be fired? And I don't want to hear anything about refs and lucky catches because they don't count for the Packers. Why is New Orleans OK with wasting a great talent like Brees by allowing a marginal coach like Payton to remain there? Heads need to roll!

Yes, why is McCarthy criticized for wasting a QB like Rodgers but nary a word is spoken against Payton squandering all these years with Brees?

I'm sure there are plenty of NO fans who say Brees is wasted.

No. Just that we get to see those kinds of plays on a regular basis .

[SkinBasket]

I've never bought into the conspiracies about the NFL being a bought and paid for product before, but that play last night might have been one the most suspicious looking plays I've ever seen. Not as bad as boxing, but getting close.

The Saints were getting jobbed on PI all day. A few of the calls were deserved but it didn't seem to be enforced equally on both teams.
