Hakeem Nicks Confirmed What We Already Knew

GREEN BAY, WI - JANUARY 15: Hakeem Nicks #88 of the New York Giants makes a 37 yard touchdown catch with time running out in the second quarter against Charles Woodson #21 of the Green Bay Packers during their NFC Divisional playoff game at Lambeau Field on January 15, 2012 in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

Nicks baffled by way Packers played Hail Mary - JSOnline. Me too.

Hakeem Nicks confirmed what Charles Woodson said. And what probably everybody else saw. Sam Shields and Jarrett Bush didn't run back quickly enough to cover the underneath and Nicks was able to box out Woodson and Charlie Peprah from behind.

A 13-10 halftime deficit became a 20-10 gut shot. I don't know how the players felt going into the locker room, but I felt like they were already defeated at the half.

A defensive misplay by the infallible Jarrett Bush?

Hakeem Nicks must have been saying this in jest, because I have never seen Jarrett Bush ever get burned.

13.

crazy like a fox

You can’t ever see him (get burned) because he’s not even in the same camera shot as the receiver.

Let the Bush burn

He has been a thorn for years, please replace this guy with House or another guy he can not even cover fly paper.

Much like the gut shot

delivered to Atlanta in the 2011 divisional round on the final play before the half…..courtesy of Tramon Williams pick 6. Those plays are killers. I agree, they never recovered after that play.

I think the 3rd quarter suggests they took it fairly well. Except for the fumble they played well on offense and defense

And then that much needed time out right before the play!

Was Jarett Bush on the field during the hail Mary? I saw several replays
of that flabulous catch and not once did I see him come into frame. Are you
guys sure you are not falsely accusing? I am disappointed!

Today is the first day I’ve been able to bring myself to making any comments
since the DAY OF INFAMY . I didn’t trust myself and was afraid I would be banned
for life if I wrote what I felt that horrible day. Everyone in the house got up and left
to give me plenty of space.

I wouldn't say they played well on offense in the 3rd...

A measly field goal at the end of the 3rd suggests otherwise, with the weapons we have. A fumble is a fumble and can’t be so easily written off. More dropped passes as well. Plus GB was given a nice start on the 40 after Tynes sent a kickoff out of bounds.

I think you and I were watching different games. Granted, they didn’t fold the tent like Atlanta did, but they certainly didn’t bounce back or tie the game, much less grab a lead in the second half.

I know fumbles are deadly, and you definitely can’t win if you fumble 3 times.

My idea there is that the hail mary wasn’t emotionally devastating, because slow advancement on offense speaks more against that than the fumble speaks for it.
