The clock was already zero so... Of course, who knows if he knew how much times was left.
Eagles won the game on that play. I don't care if it was showboating or not, the clock turned all zero's and the Eagles had more points. Great play by DeSean, great win for the Eagles. Two weeks in a row DJax has scored the game-winning TD. He can showboat all he wants in my book.And he did make reference to the game clock during his post-game PC.
You are correct. In between his references to showboating, he did reference the game clock.
As long as he keeps scoring game winning TDs, I'll take the showboating. I'm sure he's annoying though if he's not on your team.
Greatest receiver? This is a joke, right? He's good but far from the greatest. He was shut down as a receiver the whole game tbh.
I don't think it's as much to do with hurting people's feelings as it is with putting unnecessary risk on the outcome. Calvin already lost a game this year because he was too excited to get up and start celebrating. Suh almost lost another one as he showboated on his way to the endzone to wrap up a game and didn't see a guy come up behind him.
Yes, you already said that. I was simply pointing out that he admitted he was showboating. If I was an Eagles fan, I'd still find his antics annoying. I'd just root for him while he did them and enjoy the wins that come as a result. As an NFL fan, he's fun to watch until he gets to about the 10-yard-line. Then he turns into a type of bag.
I'm with this, and I'm a Cowboy fan. He's explosive and fun to watch. I couldn't care less that he falls into the endzone or tries to run out the time. The same people that loved it when Stokley did it have a problem with DJax doing it.
You're inviting penalties with that position. I think that's the attitude that invites all those late hits on Vick.(They don't get called and might not technically qualify for the penalty, but when I see Eagles games I see teams giving Vick a little extra whenever possible. They're doing "what it takes" to slow him down, or at least try). Personally, I find it sad that professionals have to look to college sports for lessons on how to behave. I don't care for showboating because it's a team game and scoring the points and winning the game and taking the division lead should be enough. "Hey look at me" shouldn't have to play into the equation.
He admitted to having some fun while making sure the clock ran out. A lot of top receivers have some diva in them. Desean certainly does as well. But he made sure the clock was all zeros and he said as much in his presser. I get it though, you don't like him.
Not true. I don't know him and don't care about him one way or the other. As an NFL fan I like his talent and don't like his antics. That's it.The presser made it clear he had showboating on his mind. I can understand why an Eagles fan will excuse that (or a person who doesn't mind showboating will excuse it) but he admitted he wanted to show off some antics. That's how he is. It's not the first, second, or seventh time he's done it. It's true that a lot of top receivers have diva in them, but the ones I respect the most do a better job of remembering it's a team game. Not a huge fan of Owens' antics, either, but can't deny his talent as a game-changer. Same with Jackson.
Why is that?I love that he makes so many people on these boards angry.
But he also made it clear the clock was on his mind, right? So he made sure the clock ran out, and had fun. Sure its stupid, but they won. He's not going to change how he plays, so I'll just enjoy it.
Welker is white, so no
Yes, he did say that. I'm taking into account the entire interview and his past antics. He also did a pause at the GL last week and I don't think he was trying to kill the clock. But you're right; he did say that and there was an issue where it could be a good idea to burn some clock..
This sort of thing is almost cliche at this point.
cause it's funWhy is that?I love that he makes so many people on these boards angry.
He scored on the punt return only. Sucks if you started him today.
He got the points in my MFL league. We might have had the part that individual players get ST touchdowns as well, though.
Stokely also wasn't known for being an idiot around the goal line. I will give him the benefit of the doubt here but you really can't question anyone thinking that he was being ignorant and showboating......again.
Showboating before you cross the goal line and showboating after you cross the goal line are two entirely different things.
