Ice Bowl On TONIGHT!!!!

Positives

-Came out blazing, jumped to early 14-0 lead
-D-line got good pressure, especially early
-Play calling in 1st and 4th quarters were exceptional
-Nitsche 'words' may have sparked offense on final series.
-Starr: true leader!

Negative

-Turnovers, turnovers, turnovers!!!
-Playing calling in middle two quarters was atrocious
-Execution in those quarters was even worse.

Well played, sir!

Starr hangs on to the ball too long!

Lombardi is overrated and should be fired. They should try and get Joe Kuharich or Blanton Collier instead.

Many thanks, ammo!

The event that led to the greatest sports photograph. Of. All. Time:

Jerry Kramer false started

+ smoking allowed at Lambeau
Willie Wood best safety of all time
LeRoy Caffey-underated linebacker
Bowman and Kramer's game winning block
two bar face masks
Aikman and Buck weren't born yet---one announcer format was a thing of beauty-- if it was a FOX game, I can hear Aikman: "Clearly Kramer had a hold of Pugh's jersey, that should have been 10 yards"


-Bowman, Gregg and Kramer's pass protection---surely we had somebody on the taxi squad that could protect Starr

-Playing calling in middle two quarters was atrocious

Starr didn't do too badly calling the plays. I think he's got a future in the league as a coach after he retires.

Loved Dave Robinson's story about the young man visiting his girlfriend who bailed out the "stranded" linebacker whose car wouldn't start:

* drove Robinson and his family to the game

* went back to Robinson's house and started his car

* drove Robinson's car to Lambeau, parked in the player's parking area, and left the keys in the car for DR


As Robinson said about the incident, "Only in Green Bay." Indeed.

It was George Andrie who did most of the damage pass rushing. That was Skoronski's guy. Also blitzing LB had big impact too and that's on everybody.

I always liked Robinson's story about the gloves. He was my favorite Packer when I was a kid along with Elija Pitts.

Speaking of Ice Bowls I got Starr's biography for Chritsmas

I was 'sort of' kidding-considering they were 3 of the best lineman ever to play for the Pack---Forrest Gregg had his usual excellent game--he was the best tackle of that era--but the DTs in the Ice Bowl had 4 sacks and constant pressure (Pugh and Lilly were no push overs and the field was slick for back pedaling) but much of that was coming right thru the middle...it reminded me of hard it is to offer consistent and perfect protection in the interior--no matter who you have up front.

I watched Christmas movies with my wife.

Guy was a player when we needed him.

So, I missed it. Who won?

What a great analysis of the game. Lee Roy Caffey was a beast in the third quarter. All the updated interviews with players looking back made it a truly special broadcast. Worth buying on DVD for dedicated Packer fans. Fun looking at home simple Lambeau Field was back then, so small, no luxury boxes...

We did. Never mind. The question is, what have they done for me TODAY???

40 years later, the pies are still contenders because the Packers neeeeded that much weather.

Good point. Hornung was so bad this year he scored not a single point.
