Thanks for all your thoughts. I think he should have slid too.
Its seems similar to catching a foul ball in baseball by a fan in an important and/or playoff game when the home team can make an out instead of the fan catching it. At the beginning of the game (the fan may) state if a foul ball is coming I will lay off it and let my team make the catch. But, when the game is happening live, you forget, get excited, human nature takes over and you try to catch it?!
Hope that makes sense. And, yes fans think of this scenario in baseball more since the Bargman catch at Wrigley!
Go Bills!
