I thought that was what was going on....
So let me get this straight -- if a QB fails to see a wide-open WR in the very first game of the season, the proper response to that by the receiver is 1) shitty body language, 2) dropping a well thrown ball on a critical down, 3) committing a facemask penalty, and 4) failing to re-establish yourself inbounds and so negating another well-thrown pass by the QB?
It's a freaking team game. Some guys are going to play better and worse in each game, and have good and bad moments within games. A teammate screwing up is not a license to get upset, pout or screw up yourself. Instead, you want guys who maintain focus, keep playing the best game they can, and so help the rest of the team catch fire when they start doing things right. That's how teams are supposed to recover and come back within a game. One guy makes a big play, then someone else does, and all of a sudden the team as a whole may be lifted and start fighting back. The mentality of "I'm going to lose focus if you other guys don't play well" is what helps generate blowout losses like the one we just watched on Sunday.
How would OBJ like it if other players started displaying shitty body language and screwing up in response to him dropping passes or committing stupid penalties?
Guys who are mentally in the game and playing well only if everyone else is playing well are not guys I generally want on my teams.
