What can you say when you feel responsible yet nobody is actually blaming you and How can you Point your Finger at something like the wind for Wip ing you out do it and people will ,., at you. The vast majority of Hose who re rated Oul Tot Sun Day s contest were bears partisans right Down to the very Core. They had to be to sit there and keep Freez ing unit cheering in icy Bone chilling 14-Dcgrce temperature plus a minus-13 wind chill Factor that gave the whole place a purplish Arctic atmosphere. To All intents the game wus settled less than 10 minutes into the first Quarter. Until Ihnn. In had been a virtual two Man contest with Joe Morris doing practically All the Ball handling fur the giants and Waller Payton doing the same for the bears. After Phil is nuns was sacked by Richard Dent the bears one Man Gale Force for a 12-Yard loss land u came in to pull with the Ball on the clams 12. Giants Center hurl Oates snapped the Ball Back to him As he stood on his own 5-Yard-line. The Stocky 23-year-old Landetta reached Oul for the Ball arid brought up his right leg to pull in the same Way he has been doing since he was a i talc boy first learning How to kick rut horrors Here came that fiendish wind. It played tricks on Landela and Silew the bait away from his right fool As he let in Oul of his hands to Boot in. Thill s a Little hard to believe if you did t see it.

Immediately picked in up and ran in Back five Yards for Chicago s first touchdown officially it was called a five Yard punt return by Cayle but they could be colled it anything they listed. The Long and Short of it is thai Landeta hardly made any Contact with the Ball with his toot.

I dropped the Bill to kick in and the wind moved it to pc right Landela explained. Nothing like that Ever even happened to me  Parcells had a look of disbelief on his face  wore the same expression. Dales who played with Landela three years with the Slars and is a Rookie with the giants himself thought maybe it had been his fault a Bud snap or something like thai he had the same question for Landela that parcel a did. What happened1 in was understandably anxious to know. Landela could Only Tell him the same thing him he Lold Parcells. He never sought 10 Alibi or 10 Pill the blame on anyone else. I be been snapping to the Guy four seasons no. Oates said afterwards. I be made thousands of snaps to him in practice and in names and i be never seen him do anything like thai before. After i mapped int Ball to him in the first Quarter i was  Eor id Yards downfield when i realised i had t heard the Ball Hii his toot. I said to myself.

One thing we did t do was beat ourselves offered Mckinnon when had Lold Ditka earlier in the year he fell he should be gelling the Ball More. In helps to have a great defense.  Irie Dickerson and All the other  Angeles Kami will have to find some Way it Penc Rale that defense in Neil sunday s pfc acc championship fume leading up to the super i Tut.
