GB’s 4th Q Call Smelled As Bad As Congress Cheeseheads
Yeah, I want some cheese with my whine. I will even break a rule of mine & whine loud ‘n long because Green Bay Head Coach Matt LaFleur broke THE Common Sense Play Book Rule, which cost this ex-Chicagoan to lose the play off football pool in a DC Foggy Bottom bar. That is, on 4rth & goal trailing by 8 points with 2:09 minutes to go you go for the TD, then, get a 2-point conversion to tie. Especially with HoF bound Aaron Rodgers as your QB & only 3 time outs left. Instead, based on “a feeling,” he kicks a field goal cutting Tampa Bay’s lead to 5 BUT still needing a touchdown with the Buc’s HoF bound Tom Brady QB likely running the remaining clock down to zero. Did Jesus settle for 3 with the Kingdom at stake?
I don’t care about ESPN’s computer analysis or the 3 time outs. Can someone please tell the GB coach that, even if Brady (who threw 3 interceptions in the second half) had another brain lock, Rodgers would most likely have been left with a last second Hail Mary option if & when Tampa punted. How could having to march 70 yards to get BACK to the 8-yd line to score been the better call when you gave up your HoF QB’s last shot from the 8 just moments earlier? (So, you wouldn’t need a 2-point conversion. Turns out, Brady got a 1st down & Rodgers never saw the ball again.)
If I were a Wisconsin Cheese head instead of a masochistic Bears turned masochistic Washington Redskins, er, Football Team fan…I’d have let loose the head cheese whiz of all time when that field goal sailed meaninglessly through the uprights. In fact, the 9K fans must have given Lambeau Field the same foul odor Congress gives us here in D.C. every day.
