Yeah, I've heard people blame Hill for not "falling down"; to me it's just ludicrous. Why hand off the ball if you didn't want him to run? Why do teams have victory formation? Remember our backup QB was playing in that game, why risk the exchange if your plan is for the RB to just "fall down". I have little doubt that Marvin told him "Get what you can and then get down". There was 1:30 left in the game and we were up by 1 point. I guarantee if Jeremy "falls down", we settle for a FG (or Nugent shanks it) and Pitt comes back and wins the same folks are pissed at Jeremy. Folks were/are just mad we lost and look for a scapegoat.

I never said the fumble doesn't haunt me. I just don't blame a 23-year-old kid trying to make a play in the biggest game of his career. I view from an adult's POV.
