Look it was one game. and..... we won. Can we savour this win before we have to move on to the next team from the same state that only has Steer's and Queer's? On a side note I didn't see Galloway, R.Williams, Thomas, or Banks doing much either. Oh and I failed to see TE Davis do much either. It seemed that this game was the Portis, Moss, and Cooley show. I too felt AA was being held on one of the TD passes. The defenders left hand pulls on AA's right shoulder turning him just enough so he doesn't catch the ball and it bounces out of his hands. I was pissed that it wasn't interference and given 4 more downs. We probably should have kept Tryon cause Rogers couldn't catch a cold all night either. JK.

I agree, but I think the overeaction is due to the hype we have given these newbies. Can't quit on AA after one game, but face it we have been overhyping our young WR corp for two seasons with nothing to really justify it. Armstrong is just the newest member in a cast that has been said by most in this forum to be ready to bust out. I don't think people would be so impatient if the hype/ kool aid machine wasn't turned up so much. That just leads to unrealistic expectations.

I agree and in this case the point about overreacting applies to everyone. We just really need to wait and see, just as it's over-hyping on one end, it's the complete opposite on the other end and neither is a valid conclusion at this point in the season.

To me AA is a good story, and a guy that by all accounts worked his butt off to make this team. If he can give us something on offense (which our coaches must think he can) than we got something. I dont think it's going to change the fact that we need WR help because even if he pans out we're getting up there in age at the position. It's just a bit silly to be talking about a "bad choice" already, imo.
