I was just about to post this. He has been money all season long and that punt right before the Safety probably won us the game.
I've been saying how awesome Weatherford is each game minus the New England game. We are so lucky to have a guy like him. I truly believe he has been the difference in a lot of games.
Nice job by him, but I also have to give Rex some props for asking him to punt instead of asking Folk to make a 50 plus yard FG, he actually used a good strategy instead of giving Pitt a short field, like he did the Pats.
How about some props for Marquise Cole who downed both punts? Having a good gunner is just as important as the kick itself.
If the defense was playing anything close to what they were last year, with Weatherford's punting, our offense would be starting at midfield every possession.
What happened to this guy? He was money all season but, in the playoffs, he has had two straight games of terrible punting. GET IT TOGETHER, MAN!!
Yeah his punting is complete and total shit in the playoffs. He has SIX freaking touchbacks after only 4 all season. Costing our D a ton of field position.
What the hell was Lowery doing running full-blast past Edelman on that punt return ? I think he thought he was gonna call for a fair catch. Bad play.
Not everyone performs well under pressure. Did it ever occur to you guys that maybe he's just a choke artist?
He's absolutely going to be a key next weekend. You'd expect a pretty low-scoring game, and field position is going to be key.
In part he thought Edelman was going to allow it to sail over his head and was running down to down the punt, in part he was blocked in the back.
This guy has been our only low point in the playoffs. He effin' KILLED us all day yesterday. If he did his job, the way our D was playing we might have been cruising in the 4th Quarter... but it looked like we was working for the goddamn Patriots! That's how bad he was. He better get his act together next week.
Folk I could understand, but punting is alot easier to execute. Why is it the guy blast it into the end-zone but when we're pinned back he CAN'T blast it ? Hmmm.....maybe you're right !! lol
