Guy got beat, didn't lay there shows me character. Any player who gets beat and then doesn't get up and chase is in danger of being benched or cut. Seriously it's like praising a waiter for getting all the orders wrong, then correcting the mistake resulting in a dinner arrivng 30 minutes after being orderd. What he did is not worthy of praise, it's expected behavior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even good players get burnt and beat. The difference is whether or not they then just flounder on the ground afterwards (insert Haynesworth GIF here if needed.)

That same embarrassed mf'er was the one who got up, ran 50 yards downfield, and tackled Crowder on the other side of the field. Saved a TD.

RandyHolt Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Thanks OP for starting a post game thread of sorts. We get at most ~10 victories a year, in a great year, We need a place to beat our chests post game; to talk about our glorious victory, or lumps we took - to carry us the other 42 weeks of the year. Hero: The front 7 largely in contain mode of Rodgers all night. Cravens at first, who gave way to I don't know, but Barry was not going to let Rodgers scramble his way to victory. Gibbs used to do that, mirror a mobile QB, and take their legs out of the game. I never saw a team do that before Gibbs, but I am not saying it didn't happen. Great coverage, almost sacked flushed QB.... QB's scrambling to victory are a tough pill to swallow. FB Bates! Goats: 0. Whitner was in a tough matchup, it didn't matter that Cook was unemployed, he still had his wheels. And Barry did Whits no favors leaving him on an island, and we survived. Maybe there is a reason Whitner was on him, and not the Duke. TEs have KILLED us in the past, so Sunday night was nothing new to me. Look at what Reed does to the most mobile of DBs. Rodgers is going to get his 300+3 no matter what safety we have, and TEs are often a QBs BFF. Whitner led with 10 tackles FWIW. Randoms: Clay Mathews was a shell of his former self. Ty was fyne but Mathews wasn't Mathews, who used to move around and wreak havoc from both sides of the OL. CT hasn't gotten as many touches of late - moar FBy touches are a priority I guess. Please, mods block attachments named dancingdan.gif. The band? Their hands were frozen and lips stuck on the reeds. Courtesy BOX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes that was it. Was awesome seeing him hustle back like that to save the TD when most would have given up and considered it pointless. A few effort plays like that here and there and you gain the respect of your team for a long time and as the video shows can change the outcome of the game. Sets an example for others too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a sack and every Panther who was aware that there was a loose ball went after it. If you are referring to #74 he thought the play was over, then immediately went after it when he saw the loose ball. Of course there are clips of guys giving up but for every one you can find I could pull 100 where they don't. I'm sorry, I still think that praising a guy for missing a tackle causing a huge play and then making the tackle 30 yards later is nonsense.

Ah yes, remember it well. He was roundly criticized. Why? Because it stood out because it is rare, like Haynesworth. Throwing out the handful of rare examples proves nothing.

No he was criticized, because it's the Superbowl, they're behind the Broncos by 6 points, there's 4 minutes left in the 4th Q, and giving up the fumble is basically throwing the game away. I'll say it again, I believe, in an ideal world where people matters and do care about what they're doing, this should not be something to praise, but the norm. But reality isn't. You can find some never give up moments, maybe lots of them through the last ten years. But if you put this number into perspective of the numbers of plays, numbers of games played, then that % is quite low in fact. Take a closer look when there's a big play next time, by a WR on a huge reception. Most of the time you see a few guys behind him that are mostly in cruising mode, not trying to give that extra thing to try to prevent the TD. But sometimes, you'll see a guy coming from far, far away makes it to the WR and gets him right before the TD. What were the others doing? At times, you believe Rich Eisen could run next to them without looking goofy. Want another example? It's gonna take us a loooooong time ago. Back in 1993, the 21st of January for Superbowl XXVII! Take a look: Sure our Cowboys fan that lurk around here sometime will find this as good ol' memory. I'm always laughing at that, just like the butt fumble. You know the best part in this? The Cowboys are leading 52-17. There's 5 minutes left in the 4th Q and the Bills are on 4th and 5 with freakin' Frank Reich at the helm. And you've got Leon Lett making a fumble recovery on Dallas' 35 yards to race it to the endzone... Or not, as Dom Beebe camed from waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay behind him to force a fumble on the 1 yard line. You can see that as a guy just doing it's job. But then, where's the rest of the team? That's big Leon, 6ft 6 290 pds or something... Some on that Bills team were fast as well, probably not as Beebs, but they're nowhere to be found. Only the C seems to give it a try but have some guys covering Leon. On a side note. Does everyone know / remember what was the ruling on the field for this play? Quote Reich sacked (Jeffcoat), loss of 4, fumbled, Lett recovered for Dallas at D 35, Lett 64 return (Beebe), fumbled, ball went out of end zone, touchback for Buffalo. Sounds familiar?
