Phil Simms was an NFL QB who took snaps from center. I was a center for 7 years of football. If I snap the ball on the side of my leg (and it DID get more difficult in the rain/mud), the QB has no chance to catch it because his hands aren't there. QBs are trained to keep one hand up and the other hand angled to cover more area when the ball is snapped, which is why the ball hit one of AJM's hands and the rest of it landed on Bodine's leg.
That fumble's not on AJM.
But you want to pin everything bad on him, so go ahead and pin it.
You are completely delusional and irrational, embarrassing yourself on the internet and making a fool of yourself with some of these statements for the past few days, but it's obvious you have some deep-seated resentment towards AJM.
I'm so glad we can all be treated to your psychological fixation issues here on the forum.
AJM didn't play great. He played well enough to win. He had a gutsy performance and put points on the board when it mattered most. He gave the team a TD to take the lead at the end.
Expecting more from a QB making his 4th NFL start in a rainstorm is absurd.
Bashing the guy for everything he did wrong and giving him ZERO credit for the things he did right is proof that you have left objectivity and reason behind, and you are in the twilight zone of delusion and foolishness.
Stop acting like the defense has ever played as good in a playoff game in the last 10 years as they did on Saturday. They only allowed them to get two 3rd down conversions the whole game, and they had forced as many turnovers as they had in the previous 4 combined. They also had as many sacks as the previous 4 combined. This is the best offense we have played in the last 4 years EASILY too. Just the total yardage doesn't mean anything.
McCarron isn't 100% at fault for the fumble, but stop acting like it was all on Bodine. The snap wasn't THAT bad, and if you watch the replay the ball still hit McCarron in the hand. Any NFL level QB shouldn't fumble there.
AJM didn't play well enough to win, because if he did we would be talking about how the Patriots game was going to go.
