Little dropped a TD that hit him in both hands

Baker's been swallowed whole four the five times he touched the ball or was targeted - sorry, that dude is too small and nothing special in the quicks department, he will not last

The Browns have gone for it on on fourth down 27 times this year...is it just my imagination or is that like three times as much as average?

 
Gordon also dropped a TD pass that hit him in both hands. Another where he semi-caught it but couldn't control it before he went out of bounds.

 
Diving

A 2008 study found that there are recognisable traits that can often be observed when a player is diving. They are:

  • a separation in time between the impact and the simulation,
  • a lack of ballistic continuity (the player moves further than would be expected from the momentum of the tackle) and
  • lack of contact consistency (the player nurses a body part other than where the impact occurred, such as contact to the chest causing the player to fly to the ground, holding his face).
In addition the "Archer's bow" pose, where the head is tilted back, chest thrust forward, arms raised and both legs bent at the knee to lift both feet off the ground to the rear, is recognised as a characteristic sign of simulation, as the action is counter to normal reflex mechanisms to protect the body in a fall.
Football is starting to resemble futbol more and more all the time.
