Jeremy Maclin - Philadelphia Eagle

Munson · January 05, 2010, 02:06:08 PM

What's it like watching a football game and having no idea what's actually going on past down, distance, and the score?

Which reminds me...wanna be my girlfriend?

arrogant, smug, condescending and clueless.

i just figured out who munson's father is.

ice grillin you · January 05, 2010, 02:22:42 PM

munson doesnt even know who his father is

Rome · January 05, 2010, 02:23:25 PM

not until today he didn't.

You morons have 3 pages worth of arguing over a single play. McNabb's accuracy is inconsistent. Maclin is a WR, and most WRs don't catch 100% of the balls thrown to them. An identical play this week probably won't happen. Move on.

Sgt PSN · January 05, 2010, 07:27:02 PM

i can't believe i'm saying this, but you're all morons and munson is dead on. to a fruity drink guy like havas or a geriatric like rome, of course full game speed seems too fast for you guys. because no one on this board has ever come close to playing football at nfl game speed. i won't say that maclin should have caught it, because it was a hard ball to catch. but it was still catchable and i'd say that the top tier receivers in the game can make that catch.....not all the time, but they can still get their hands on it and pull it in.

and the #1 rule for receivers from pee wee league and on is if it hits your hands, you can catch it. hell, people even say that in lame ass recreational flag football leagues and i'm pretty sure that's not something they made up on their own. i've heard pee wee coaches say it, jv coaches say it and varsity coaches say it. so there's probably a good possibility that college and nfl coaches say it too.

but it is what it is.....inaccurate throw that could have been caught but wasn't. oh farging well. next.

can we get an 'Ask Munson' section? because he obviously should've been an NFL receiver and based on that, he knows what they are thinking and based on THAT, he can answer any question on the position.

Tomahawk · January 06, 2010, 02:12:08 PM

Just because coaches and announcers use cliches such as "if it hits your hands, you can catch it" doesn't make it true in every situation. Had Maclin caught the ball, it would have been a highlight worthy miracle catch. So technically it wasn't uncatchable, but it was as close as it gets.

PhillyPhreak54 · January 06, 2010, 02:23:09 PM

lol at highlight worthy.

That catch is made 10 times a week in the NFL and they are not highlight catches.

Tomahawk · January 06, 2010, 02:26:41 PM

His non-catch made the highlight reel. But if that catch is made 10x/wk then it's not made at least 20

you have to understand the ball has to be catchable because otherwise mcnabb looks worse than he already is

that play reminded me of dodgeball in elementary school when youre one the last couple guys and someone from just across the line fires a ball at you while youre running to get another ball and he throws it behind you...and rather than try to reach behind you and attempt to make the unmakeable catch that would eliminate the thrower you continue on in pursuit of another ball

Drunkmasterflex · January 06, 2010, 02:49:54 PM

You people are ridiculous that this has been an argument all week. The catch should have been made, however it should have been a better throw. I don't see how anyone can argue either. Personally I am pretty sick of the same shein with the Eagles so I could care less whether McNabb stays or goes.

The thing that cracks me up is the hatred that many of you have for him no matter what he does he gets criticized. After the turd that was laid last week though I don't know how anybody can continue to argue about one play. No one showed up last week, I repeat no one.

ice grillin you · January 06, 2010, 03:17:54 PM

pretty sure more scrutiny is going to be put on an 11 year veteran QB than anyone else on the field...especially one as annoying as mcnabb

just like andy reid is going to be critiqued more so than the wide receivers coach

and the reason it seems like mcnabb gets criticized no matter what is because he doesnt get praised for the normal stuff anymore because everyone has been there and done that....youre not going to see anyone blow him when he runs it up against kc...but you will hear him get bashed for not beating anyone good or failing to win the big game again
