[QUOTE="El Guapo, post: 517845, member: 5830"] I'll demonize him. It was boneheaded for a veteran. Your argument is right on if that was the case. Unfortunately, it was not the case. There was no clear path to the endzone. In fact, Kuhn muffed the pickup BECAUSE there were defenders coming in his direction so he didn't bend down far enough to get the ball, hoping to snatch it quickly and run. Had there been no defenders nearby then I wouldn't have cared as much. He screwed up and could have cost us the game. He owes the entire defense big steaks for bailing his rear-end out. I'd also love for somebody to pull up real stats about picking up a ball versus falling on it. 99% of the NFL fan base believes that you should fall on the ball....which is pure non-sense. Every player needs to know their strengths and weaknesses. Guys with good hands ought to use them to get the ball, because as often as I see muffed pickups I see guys falling on the ball and then the ball squirting out. Falling on an oblong ball while you're wearing plastic armor on your chest is not a sure thing. [/QUOTE]
