Everyone is talking about Diggs... BUT

[Dolemite censored]

Can't wait for the crooked refs at the Patriots' game next week.

 

[Dolemite censored]

That was a crooked play by the defender. He purposely missed that tackle.

The defender did everything to avoid tackling. Obvious as hell.

This might have been the worst defense I have ever seen.

He doesn't just miss, it literally looks like 43 is trying to take out his own player. This is what happens when you don't teach the fundamentals of tackling. His head is down, he doesn't wrap up, poor angle, etc.
I feel bad for the young man, but that was absolutely horrible.

Not only that, #20 is just lagging behind the play and making very little effort. Just lazy defense. The entire saints coaching staff should be embarrassed.

And please don't start acting like the fix was in conspiracy guys.

This is probably the worst defensive play in NFL history... It was a lob pass also, he had time to see the ball coming, just move in and wrap the guy up and tackle him in bounds, game over...

This is what happens when guys are scared to go high for fear of penalty . They go low , way tougher to keep your head up when going low . Then you miss a tackle and your season is over

The whole thing almost looks choreographed. Lob pass, both Crawly and Williams saw the ball in the air long before it got to Diggs. Crawley looked like he was expecting Williams to make the tackle and kind of dogged the play. Williams looked like he got spooked and wasn't sure how to approach that tackle. He wasn't even close to hitting Diggs.

Diggs makes an easy catch, turns up field and the rest is history.

tackling technique given way to the missile technique...rampant

He dove out of the way so he wouldn't make contact early and get flagged for PI which of course stops the clock.

Still pretty hilarious though. WHO DAT!? LOL.

It was.

Got it. Thanks for your input foil head.

He wasn't even running hard. Why not just stop, wait for him to make the catch, and bear hug him. The ball was in the air for about a minute. Easiest play in the world to defend.

Because it was.

 

[Dolemite censored]

Because that was part of the fix.

Ok. I get your position. Now go and play in the conspiracy theory forum. Geez

 

[rmilia1]

If you go head up and wrap up there you're likely going to end up hitting Diggs high . Then you get a flag for targeting and lose on a FG. Only thing wrong with what Williams did was he didn't wrap up low. You have to go low there. Too risky not too. Awful attempt though as he didn't even try to wrap up.

Had to be paid off...

That is what at least one professional secondary coach thinks. The one I talked to.

different sport obviously, but...

There's no chance he had at hitting Diggs in the head. None whatsoever. Diggs' waist was shoulder-level when Williams whiffed on him.

Dude had a major brain fart. Diggs catching that pass should have sealed the game for the Saints. All Williams had to do was wrap him up and bring him down in bounds. Instead, he tried to low-bridge him, which could have allowed Diggs to slide down his back and land out-of-bounds, or could have broken up the pass, which would have given the Vikes one more shot at some kind of goofy trick play to score the TD. In his post-game interview, he mentioned he was worried about DPI, which means he wasn't thinking that letting Diggs make the catch and tackling him in-bounds was the correct play to make.

It's hard to tackle when your head is down and your eyes are closed.
