Absolutely - Was not a fan of the call but would have been perfectly willing to jump on the bandwagon if it worked. As I was watching it, I just kept thinking, "throw it away, throw it away".

ARE is one of those guys who just frustrates me (and many others I'm sure). On one hand, I think he is a great slot/mid-range receiver who seems to have a knack for finding the open space. At the same time, once he gets the ball in his hands, he always seem to by trying to hit a home run rather than just taking the yards being given - often causing him to actually lose yards already gained. (Maybe he was one of the guy Cooley and Portis were refering to in their "just do your job" comments).
