is there a coach cam video of this?
Morgan Burnett Doesn’t Regret Sliding After Interception
- Thread starter Big Boss
- Start date
There was over 5 minutes left and tons of space to run. How is he gonna get stripped with no one around him? At least get 15-20 yards and slide when someone gets close. If he got them to fg position game would been a wrap.
shyt, at least Lawrence was able to make up for his mistake by coming up with the game clinching sack. The play I think of with this exact scenario is when Marlon McCree fumbled away a critical interception on 4th down for the Chargers in the 06 Divisional Round against the Patriots and Reche Caldwell recovered for the Patriots, keeping them in the game. If McCree bats the ball down, it's game over. If he gets down on the ground, it's game over. If he doesn't play hot potato with the ball, it's game over. Instead, he helped blow the Chargers 14-2 season
What's especially ironic is how Marty Schottenhimer specifically told his team to get down on the ground if they were to make a play like that one which would seal the game, and he went against everything his coach (and common sense) told him. There was no way he would have scored on that play, yet he kept trying to make a play when there was no reason to and nothing there. He paid for it dearly
So you'll have to forgive me for thinking that a linebacker getting down on the ground and playing it safe with what he thought was the game sealing interception isn't the reason that the Packers lost the game. How about the fact that the Packers had the ball inside the Seahawks 5 yard line twice and came away with only 6 points? How about the fact that they settled for a total of 5 field goals, gave up 2 touchdowns in the last 3 minutes of regulation and 3 in the last 6 minutes of the game including overtime?
Morgan Burnett is a safety, he could have ran down the sideline.
and all that other stuff, just prove my point that green bay didn't play to win the game.
That play was just apart of their whole play not to lose bullshyt that inevitably lost them the game. Half the defense was sleep for Marshawn's run. This nikka sliding when he could have scored. Packers offense running the ball doing nothing. Dude somehow letting the ball float across field for the 2pt conversion. I dont think he personally deserves to be criticized but it makes no damn sense to me that you wouldnt advance the ball at all there. Worse case scenario you somehow fumble it back for a TD. That wasnt going to happen. The most likely situation was him either scoring or running down the sideline until he was at least in field goal range.
Lesson here is that anything can happen but you should always put yourself in a better position to win by scoring more instead of sitting on the ball and praying your opponent gives up

A lot of Monday Morning Quarterbacking. I think he made the right move. Why risk losing the ball? Who knew the offense would give it up and Seattle would would go on a crazy tear like they did?
get an INT on your side of the field while the other team is driving and get blamed for costing your team the game brahs.
he could have always, ya know, just not gotten the turnover and then maybe he'd be blamed less because apparently it's job to create scores rather than the offense itself.

That's even worse, looking at another angle. He's got a TD there, those linemen aren't catching him if he cuts it back to the right.
First photo that really got me like ...
Yooooooooooooooooooo ... Coulda cut right and run for about 20-30 and then slid or gone outta bounds.
Its real easy for all of us to sit here with 20/20 hindsight on knowing what happens after, and 20 different angles of the field, birds eye views n shyt...to say he should have kept running or he shoulda cut to the right or whatever. He wasnt really afforded all those opportunities on the field.
9 times outta 10 I'm telling my defensive players to worry about securing the ball on a fumble or interception. The only time I'm asking them to make a run for the end zone is if our team is down, or there is literally a clear path to the end zone.
Stop their offense from scoring. Get your offense the ball back. Let them do what all the coaches have been preparing for weeks/months/years. @KOBE is right..its like nikkas are mad at him for gettin the INT. He coulda just deflected the pass or some shyt, and his name would not have been in anybodys mouths today.
He could have just ran towards/down the side line and ducked out if someone got too close.
It was a mistake, but it's not t he one that cost them the game. the bostick fukk up and Clinton Dix were much bigger. Also gotta put some blame on MM for running 3 straight times when they weren't gaining anything.

nobody is saying it's all him.. shyt there's two guys right there, telling him to lay it down... plus his coach obviously told them the same
the issue is, just like aaron rodgers, somebody should have spoke to coach like "nah man fukk this" he took his foot off the gas... clearly.. he played and had his players, playing scared... oh pleeeeeeeeeeeeease don't do anything dangerous... just run and fall down
well how'd that work out?
how many times has a team lost cause a fumble on an int? how many times has a team lost cause a 4th qtr comeback? i'd say the comeback was 99% more likely to happen than the fumble, based off the history of the nfl
Stupest shyt I ever seen who the fukk slides with 5 minutes left you score and bury them bottom line and all this other shyt ain't necessary yeah those offensive lineman and Wilson was gonna strip..him...play scared you go home bottomline

I thought that he should had ran a little further just to put them in fg range.but if you got your D capt and your coach to get down...you get down. ..
This is more indictment of the coach being bytch made and taking the foot off the gas...you dont beat a team like Sea playing scurred...go hard or go the fukk home...and they went home. ..

Cmon now, lets try to show an understanding of football knowledge here. Burnett has all his momentum moving left (Hes just about to slide), and he's clearly shadowed and covered by multiple seahawks. He would have been tackled within a few yards max. Burnett is not going to cut and reverse field like he's barry sanders in his prime, and to even ask a non offensive player to play hero ball when the Packers have such an advantageous situation at that point is comical.
Burnett insured that his team would have the ball just as he was supposed to do. I hear people calling him stupid and his decision "inexplicable", and I think those terms could better describe his critics.
