Devin Hester fake punt return

How the hell did the entire Packers' special teams get faked?

It was really awesome. Cant believe they called that hold

That was incredible. Everyone was fooled. the guy wasnt even blocking anyone. I cant believe they called holding. they probably through the flag because they were so faked out.

Packers punt and Hester runs up toward the left sideline to "field" the punt. Meanwhile....

The punt is actually on the right sideline and Johnny Knox is fielding it and could have walked into the endzone. It was awesome.

It was then called back for a hold, but the Fox guys can't find who committed the penalty.

Yea that was awesome. I had to rewind it like 10 times and show my wife! lol

It was amazing. Shitty refs got some explaining to do.

So it wasn't improv but obvious drawn up/scripted punt return misdirection?

Also, I saw they were down 10 or more would the punt TD return have altered the outcome of the game?

Would have been down 3 with 50 seconds left pending extra poing. Could have onsides kicked

Would have led to an onside kick with about 50 seconds left, bears would have been down 3.

It was an intentional play. The Bears went to set up their wall for hester.


I haven't been on a punt coverage team since I was in middle school, but if we were going to punt to one side of the field, we usually told everybody beforehand. I would have thought they would mention that in the NFL too, but it sure looked like they were just mirroring Hester.
