Again, with the way they were crowding the LOS, a fake to Lacy and pass – not directed to a particular DB but to the most open receiver probably would have won the game. With the way they were stacking the LOS IMO there was a good chance someone would have been wide open. And I can’t think of a QB I’d trust to make that decision more than Rodgers.  Certainly as I look back at the game Bostick’s brain freeze was the one most impactful play. This is quote from MMQB captainWIMM linked to in a thread about Bostick’s release:  <a href="http://mmqb.si.com/2015/02/26/brandon-bostick-nfc-championship-game-onside-kick/" target="_blank">http://mmqb.si.com/2015/02/26/brandon-bostick-nfc-championship-game-onside-kick/</a>As I mentioned in that thread, I think Slocum deserved to be fired but this pivotal play wasn’t his fault. Practiced “dozens if not hundreds of times” and Bostick’s teammate even reminds him right before the kick of his responsibilities. That’s as much as a coach and teammates can do.</blockquote>
