Greg de'Ville Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 ...Pinkston claimed he lost a 1st quarter long ball in the lights, but the fans and media know better. He gave up on that ball because he glanced at a Deadskins safety ready to make a pop. It was reminiscent of another Iggle of lore, Ricky Watters, who alligator-armed a pass over the middle against the Bucs a few years back. Only it wasn't just Pinkston's arms that retreated--it was his whole body. He wanted no part of any contact and simply gave up on the pattern. It's all everyone's talking about in Philly this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDBillzFan Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 If he's saying he lost the ball in the lights, he's fuggin' crazy. You can clearly see him glance at the defender and then pull up. Astounding. I'm surprised TO didn't get in his face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That hit is going to have an effect on ALOT of WRs in the NFL who face Washington. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mary owen Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 Ahhh, Todd Pinkston. The Poor man's Harold Carmichael...... actually, he's less than that, but I heard an announcer (maybe Dennis Miller) call him that once, and I thought it was funny.

I don't think I've ever seen a player flinch that badly. He did come back and make a nice play later in the game, but he's going to get some major stojan over that play. There is no question (IMO) but that he quit on the play to avoid contact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsSouth Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 It was a heck of a long pass by McNabb, and he really avoided contact with the Redskins safety. Even the guys at ESPN were calling him out for being a wimp. He later caught a long ball from McNabb. But, as Beerball said, he should have gotten a lot of flak for getting so blatantly yellow. Glad he isn´t a Bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d_wag Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 i didn't see the play last night, but i remember he did the exact same thing a few weeks back against the giants.......he was running a short crossing route and he saw the CB (i think it was will peterson) waiting for him, so instead of reaching up for it and exposing his ribs he let the ball whizz right by his head......the giants talked trash to him the whole way back to the huddle, but i guess pinkston didn't learn anything from that embarrassing lesson.......

BuffOrange Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 Nice gift interference call the Iggles got last night. They're going to get rolled in the SB whoever they play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg de'Ville Posted December 13, 2004 Author Share Posted December 13, 2004 Nice gift interference call the Iggles got last night. They're going to get rolled in the SB whoever they play. 158613[/snapback] Definitely. TO pushed off bigtime yet the zebra called Springs for PI. Bad call. It was not one of the Iggles' better efforts last night. They are getting nicked up bigtime in their defensive front four and that is a concern as the playoffs near.
