Not that I really want to relive this, but it's a nice article for a kid that yes, he screwed up, but he was not the sole reason we lost that game.

Bostick has handled everything since that game with a lot of class. I wish him well.
How great is Earnest Byner? This game has produced a lot of good men.
I have no ill will toward Bostick. When any one of us thinks about how awful it is that the Packers lost that game, just know that for Brandon it's 1,000 times worse. That said....he's a Viking now so can't wish him the best. But i don't wish him the worst.
I hate it that social media has turned into a place where cowards can write death threats. I have no respect for someone anyone who hides behind a computer. If you wish ill will on anyone, tell it to their face. Guarantee they won't.
Stand up kid stood in there for two days and answered every question thrown at him.
The fail clock started with 9 minutes left in the 4th quarter.
Henry you are 4 minutes early again
He received death threats? Well he was as worthy as AJ Hawk, MM, Arod, Marshawn Lynch for daring to score a TD and ruining the lives of all those Packers loving losers, and Russell Wilson for suddenly realizing that he didn't have to throw the ball to the guys in green and gold, or the 12 man for...
Nevermind. The point is that you simply can't disappoint losers. It's not fair. Don't you realize they have no lives?
Meh, he made what, 500 grand for his 'contributions' this year? My sympathy is limited. I don't know if I buy his "my mind went blank" comment. Seems like code for "I got cocky and figured I'd just grab it", but who knows. Ultimately it's not that relevant, greedy or incompetent, he won't be missed.
The death threats are disgusting, but that's the world we live in.

Byner's fumble was a physical mistake. I guess Bostick's was mental but I don't even know if it's that. He simply didn't do what he was supposed to do that I'm sure was practiced over and over. Methinks he wanted to be a hero.
He may be a good guy but his mistake (or decision) was inexcusable and I'm glad he's gone.
That speaks to bad practice habits.
Screw the world we live in.....that is just disgusting that he received death threats...and what the hell has happened to this world we live in? It's nuts that this even happens. IT'S A GOLL DANG GAME FOR KRIPES SAKE. Oh the humanity......I cry for my country and the stupid, stupid people that live in it, that they have nothing going on in their lives that they have to make death threats on sports players.

I tried squeezing my balls.
It's not like he was making plays all over the field this year but his glaring mistake had a huge impact on the game
I hope his balls freeze to a flagpole in Minnesoduh. Better yet I hope he eats a juicy Lucy and the damn thing explodes into hot cheesy mess and melts his face off

(quoted for clarity)
Are you one of the guys who sent him a death threat?
A real Packer fan would have killed his dog...
Good times
well
what side do you work on?
I'd have guessed the dark side.
Circular building. Corner office.
I think it's pretty clear that whatever Bostick's failings as a football player are/were, nobody deserves to have their life ruined by a momentary lapse of judgement.
Move on folks.
Ex gardener.
I'm trying to have empathy for people who aren't as perfect as I am.
I have always tried to stay humble but "it is very difficult to be humble when you are perfect in every way" LOL
I already thought you were a terrible waste of a roster spot (a poor man's Tyrone Davis, if you will) before the onside kick mistake, Brandon. Hope that makes you feel better.
Yes, Blair on a bad hair day.

There is a history - see Dan Divine.

If - and that is a big IF - they had practiced this on side kick thing "hundreds of times" as Bostick says you would think that the training takes root and everyone performs their assignment. I am not saying we go to the SB, we had plenty of other chances to win that game, but that would have been a big step in the right direction.
Who is TJ Rubley
Who is Route 28
Who is Route 24
Screw em
What ever happened to Who? I know he was non of those listed above.
I played in 13 games and had a pretty good season......
He was in the running with Boykin for biggest disappointment and I have no idea why he feels he had a "pretty good season". Too many missed opportunities in the game and you really can't pin the loss on him like some apparently want to do.
To me the game will always come down to the league MVP under center and six measly points off five turnovers. That's unacceptable in a game of that magnitude.

Perfect.
Bostick's article is a prompting from Baratz who truly seems to be more invested in the PR game between the Spermheads and the Packers than his clients.
The fact that he believes he had a good season and "instinct" just kicked in vs. being a professional and doing what he was coached to do, which was entirely special teams at this point, speaks to his half ass approach. It's the proverbial I'm sorry but it's not really my fault article.
He is a child.
Baratz, Bostick, Finley...

It's the same old "Aw shucks, ah was jus' tryin' ta make a play" crap we'd get from Brett Favre every time he threw a critical INT, except Favre was already a lock for the HoF by the time those throws started to become more numerous. Remarkable that he thinks two catches for 3 yards and inconspicuous duty on the league's worst special teams unit over 13 regular season games is "good". I would laugh about Vikings fans being saddled with this turd, but I doubt he will even make it past that garbage team's first roster cutdown. "Prospect" players like him rarely last very long on their second teams. Once their initial suitor gives up on them after realizing that they were actually garbage all along, others usually take less time to figure this out for themselves.
