Well, you knew it had to happen sooner or later, on a 3rd and 1, Big Lou Polite was stuffed short of the first down by AJ Hawk. Big Lou had 20 straight conversions at that point in time, alas, there will be no #21.
AJ Hawk touches children and cancels Christmas. Someone post a GIF of AJ snatching that kid from the Make A Wish commercial.
I thought the same during the game. I was shocked, but then the controversy with the 4th down kind of drowned that out. Still a horrible call.
Yeah, the Falcons' Troy Bierman stuffed him on 4th & 1. Screw that though, I'm much more concerned about him not abusing linebackers the way he did last year. Lou is having a relativley poor season, I honestly wish we'd go 3 wide as our base set, Bess is playing lights out,
I agree with the poor performance comment , he hasn't been nearly as effective and also has made some glaring mistakes with his blocking assignments imo . If he doesn't improve , what he is providing isn't enough to keep him in the game as much as he has been imo.
In todays Herald they said he went 19 for 19 last year and was 4 for 4 this year. So was it 23 straight or is it 19
I blame McQuistan. He got blowed up on that play. I'm pretty sure it was him...if not, let's blame him anyway.
i would love to see polite get the ball when we are on the 1-3 yardline.we rarely give it to him down there if at all.befuddles me when i see us try 3 pass attempts in a row when we have such a beast at picking up the short yardage.
