During the game on Sunday I was wondering why after Ryan's last punt (53 yards) that the special teams coach and a few others were hugging him so emotionally...it all made sense when I read about this the next day in the Green Bay paper.

Special day for the whole family...imagine even how much more special it would have been if the botched fake field goal would have been successful...I believe Ryan was the intended receiver for the play.

A little more on this from Mike McCarthy's press conf. (fake field goal) after the game:

We felt it was important to get on top of that team as fast as we can, and we saw a big-play opportunity in the field-goal phase, and we went for it. And I probably didn't call it in the best situation. But I promise you this, if they would have went for the block, Jon Ryan might have been standing in the end zone. "
