Can we start recording a new stat that reduces QBs INTs due to tipped balls or poor WR play? I've seen at least 3 passes today in different games where the QB couldn't have made a better throw, the ball hits his WR right in the hands, but the defender somehow comes away with ball due to an odd bounce.

Heck, there were even two sure fire INTs that ended up as catches (and one for a TD), so some QBs will ultimately get good stats for bad passes while others will get bad stats with INTs that are 100% the fault of the WR.

It wasn't luck, it was stripped.

so having a WR let the ball bounce out of his grasp into a defenders arms who does nothing to pry it from the WR is considered a strip?

its amazing talent and reflex on the defenders part to snatch it, but that's 100% luck that Harvin didn't catch that ball.

Watch the footage again, it was a CONSCIOUS strip. Part of it was Harvin didn't have his whole grip on the ball, MOST of it was the dude grabbed it. Either way, TD!!!!

YOU MAD???

OH YOU CHANGED YOUR POST SAYING THAT HE DID NOTHING TO STRIP THE BALL. REALLY?

Who is this Woodhead guy for the Patriots? He looks like a 5 foot 6 inch running back, other players just tower over him. He's got some skills though.

He's 5'7 I think, running back that the jets released in week 3 i think adn the patriots signed him. He's taken over Kevin Faulks role as the versatile 3rd down back.
