Sloppy Reporting

[stanhin]

Here is an entire note from cbssports.com:

"[Marquise] Goodwin (wrist) failed to catch any of his three targets and suffered a wrist injury in Monday's 27-24 loss to Seattle. The veteran wideout was in the lineup after being a healthy scratch in Week 9, and his role increased after starter Emmanuel Sanders (ribs) left the game. Goodwin did not do much with his opportunities and failed to pull in what would have been a crucial third-down conversion late in the contest. The wrist injury clouds his status for next week's rematch with Arizona, but even if he suits up, his target volume in this offense could be minimal moving forward."

Just a couple of problems--all three of his targets came very early in the game before Sanders was hurt, so his role did not "increase" after Sanders left the game (in fact, I only saw him on the field for one snap in the second half), and he certainly did not drop a "crucial third down conversion late in the game."

I didn't see the game, what happened on that 3rd down play?

Well, as I said, there was no third down play involving Goodwin toward the end of the game. There was a third down play on the first SF drive in the game (the last pass in the game that targeted Goodwin), where, under pressure, the QB threw the ball high and a bit behind, so that Goodwin had to stop his route, reach back a bit, and jump for it. He touched it but could not hold on. A great receiver like Larry Fitzgerald would have made the catch, and the announcers indicated Goodwin should have, too.

Well, as I said, there was no third down play involving Goodman toward the end of the game. There was a third down play on the first SF drive in the game (the last pass in the game that targeted Goodman), where, under pressure, the QB threw the ball high and bit behind, so that Goodman had to stop his route, reach back a bit, and jump for it. He touched it but could not hold on. A great receiver like Larry Fitzgerald would have made the catch, and the announcers indicated Goodman should have, too.

Wait...who is Goodman?

believe he meant Goodwin... if true, it WAS sloppy reporting - it also sounds like the reporter just wanted to find someone to blame.

My comment was intended to be somewhat ironical...idoit!

My critique of sloppy reporting obviously involved some sloppy posting of my own. I have corrected my post. Thanks for pointing out the errors.

MB227, your sloppy errors have become uphauling!

Your willingness to accept the critiques of fellow posters clearly demonstrates you are no Pre Madonna.
