Hapless Bills Fan Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 "I've seen worse and I've heard worse," Burress said. "It doesn't bother me at all. The result I'm looking at is that we won the football game and he turned around and dropped three wide open balls to lose the game for his team. If I was a player that's how I would evaluate myself." And that, fellow sports fans, is the final word. Ouch - and deservedly so. Karma's a beeoytch, Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CodeMonkey Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 (edited) Plax is right in this case. There were at least 3 drops by Johnson, but only 2 I can think of that probably would have changed the outcome of the game. And acting like an !@#$ is stupid in hindsight and every other sight. Just plain stupid. Edited November 28, 2011 by CodeMonkey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure the Giants' fans were sick of him dropping balls the year he shot himself in the leg. Newsflash Plax, next time, buy a holster and not shoot yourself in the leg like a #@$@$ moron.

reddogblitz Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Steve dropped one on the first drive and one other but I can't put my finger on exactly when it was now. Pretty much standard operating procedure for him. 3 drops in a game is about right. I don't understand why so many want to give him a pass when he clearly cost us the game. If Steve's your guy, fine. But be a man and admit he blew it for us just like he did the Stealers game last year. Once is an abortion. It's now happened twice. A pattern is developing. As far as the leg shooting thing, it's not like he's ever been flagged for pretending to shoot a gun. He should have learned that lesson last year. It's all about Stevie.

Yep. And Plax was forgiving in a passive/aggressive fashion that was full of false sincerity. Look at his comment: “So, it doesn’t bother me at all. The result I’m looking at is and we won the football game and he turned around and dropped three wide-open balls to lose it for his team.” Like billsfreak suggests, it's easy to be (falsely) forgiving when you win.

BuffOrange Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Can't argue with what Burress said. GTFO with the 'karma'. Bills fans of all people should know karma at least in sports, does not exist. NE, Dallas & Pittsburgh have won multiple SB's. Buffalo & Cleveland have none. Seem fair?

C.Biscuit97 Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Gotta say Plax showed a lot of class. Personally, I thought it was funny but I would never do anything like that. It makes for a great teaching tool for young people though. If you laugh at others, sooner or later, they will be laughing at you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBill Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Big time players make big plays in big games... SJ did't cost the Bills the game as no single play or player wins or loses for a team. However, SJ made serious errors in judgement and failed to deliver when he most needed him to do so.His failing is simply that he is immature and not a leader. At one point this season I was upset that the Bills were not doing morte to sign him. I hope they do but I will also not be sad to see him go if the issue is simply that he wants elite money. He has failed to earn the paycheck that he seeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the guy on the Broncos hit Jones in the preseason, who was the main guy going after him? Most fans have no idea how SJ is viewed in the lockerroom. I have it on good authority that he is one of the most popular guys on that team. If you let SJ go after getting rid of Evans, you will have zero leadership at the receiver position. You also will have zero big time talent as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's like being satisfied with just smelling the pumpkin pie, and not actually getting to eat a piece. I love Stevie, and as long as he continues to wear a Bills uniform, I will root for him and support him. But, he screwed up big-time yesterday...twice. Just call a spade a spade and admit it. Accept it. I mean, this admission of "Oh, well, he abused Revis all day and he was wide open on that play because of an awesome double move" is absurd acceptance of the mediocre. The good, but just not good enough. That's what us fans are sick of (many of us, anyhow) after....hell, after a lot of years. Good, but just not good enough when it counts. Cheer on Stevie and pat him on the back when he does well. But, also call it like it is when he doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, he didn't drop two others. That is false. Nelson dropped one that he should have caught, but not Johnson. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/football/nfl/gameflash/2011/11/27/4554/index.html#playbyplay On the first drive, the ball thrown to Johnson was knocked away by Revis. It was not a drop. On the Bills' second last drive, he did catch a deep throw out of bounds (in spectacular fashion, actually) against Revis despite perfect coverage and the fact that Revis tipped the ball as it arrived.

It's all for naught if you don't catch the freakin' football when it hits you in the hands in full stride. You don't get any points for being open. No, he didn't drop two others. That is false. Nelson dropped one that he should have caught, but not Johnson. I guess it depends on what the definiton of the word "drop" is. They looked like drops to me. If nothing else, they were catches a starting WR in the NFL on a team in the playoff hunt needs to make, including the one in the EZ on 2nd down.
