Lance Moore
I cannot stand watching him,
I’m sorry but the wind can take him down.
He catches everything, but his YAC is less than a yard per catch

pass wasn't the best placement.
moore had to totally turn and that linebacker was bearing down on him. I wanted to see him push through the tackle but he was going backwards at the time of the collision.

I like the way budweiser is so cheap
