    Running out of the end zone when it's iffy is annoying but shouldn't be a game breaker. Fumbling definitely is...that's the issue I have. That said, anyone making death threats and extending them to families is crazy and just...wow.

    All that aside, there were some sloppy plays on O and D, but moreso on O...they left points on the field and weren't good on 3rd downs. The 3rd and 6 with 6 minutes left made me really mad...you can see Adams open on a slant.

      Agree whole-heartedly.

        Radio today with Jason Wilde. Its hysterical what will turn people around on the issue.

        After his Monday locker room availability: http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/2...rn-was-mistake

        Wilde is now bent out of shape over the non-apology of it all and the logic of catching it. Isn't moved by the confirmation that they talked about keeping it in the end zone or the admission it was a judgement call on where the ball would hit and that he misjudged.

        Wilde wanted a flat out apology like Brandon Bostick, which might have worked immediately after the game, but wasn't really what was driving events Monday after Silver's article.

        But what gets my goat about Wilde is that he seemed to insist that there is no way to misjudge a kickoff headed to the end zone. That putting your feet on the goal line and waiting for the ball to come to him just like a punt (formerly at the 10 yard line and now at the 5) and letting it go if it wasn't in front of him is all you need to do.

        The problem with this analysis is that a kickoff is not a punt. If you have any doubt about where its going to hit, you have to catch it because its a live ball. Monty said, and hasn't been contradicted yet, that the strategy was the same as other kickoffs. If he isn't instructed to stand on the goal line, why would he do that here? They trust his judgment on all the other kicks but this one is different?

        People are getting their knickers in a twist by ignoring a simple fact: the problem was the fumble not the catch and run out.

            Saints player hit with beer thrown by Vikings fan: 'I don't even drink'

            Saints players celebrating a touchdown against the Vikings Sunday got pelted with a beer can from the stands.

              Threats and going after his family is total bullshit and needs to be stopped now.

              As for the return, he's a fucking moron and deserved be dumped. The excuse that he wasn't sure how close he was to the goal line says he doesn't know the new rules. He should have lined up at the goal line. Unless he had to move up to catch it, let it bounce in the endzone and it is an automatic touchback. You don't have to cover it like you used to. You don't have to catch and take a knee. Let it bounce and be done with it.

              edit - to reflect that he has been dumped.

                Remember when I did the detailed draft analysis and some bozos said it wasn't good?

                Turns out it was spot on and jives very well with why the Packers are where they are.

                This is startling.

                Here's what the #Packers roster presently includes from the 2013-15 draft classes:

                David Bakhtiari
                Corey Linsley
                Davante Adams

                That's it. All three first-round picks from those years have been jettisoned.
                Yeesh. 2012 is bad too IIRC.

                Unpopular fact: Ted Thompson absolutely gutted this team over the past 4-5 years.

                  Danter Fowler was traded to the Rams. the Packers were in the mix but didn't have the guts to offer what it would take to close the deal...again.

                    If this is the preferred method, why do no returners I have watched do it?

                    Am I just missing it?

                      I have seen some just let it bounce in the endzone, but it is a new rule, and possibly hasn't been drilled into people as much. Also catching it does give you the option of returning it, so most times a player will try to catch it.

                      Carrying the ball with one hand with your arm extended during contact on a return should never be a thing. If you can't fix stupid, trading it is the next best thing.

                          I can't say why they are more careful with this than punts, but I haven't seen anyone do the stand on the goal line move.

                          I am open to being wrong (especially so now that they have dumped him) but I haven't seen a convincing explanation yet. Wilde thought this should be the case, but its still not happening often. Most of the time, they are 3 yards deep and then making a decision.

                            More moves, but they did not sign the DE/OLB guy they worked out today.
