Interesting irony. Why didn't they go crazy about he player who kicked the flag with a "game of this magnitude." It's funny how I often hear a coach saying "How can you make call in such a BIG game?" He coach, what about the player who held his opponent at the point of attack to spring the runner for that game-winning TD in this BIG game????? How can he hold in THAT situation if it's THAT important to him and his team?

This was precisely my thinking when I heard those two make that comment. SD needed the ball back and needed to stop the Jets. Belive me I get the emotions part of it, but still...
