Funny how this was also the same game Moose Johnson busted out his "All-Lunch-Pail Team" or whatever it was called. He has only himself to blame -- one yard. I'm sure there was at least one play during the season where he didn't put his full effort forth on a rushing attempt and could have gained a few yards...

There haven't been a whole lot of positives about this somewhat dissapointing season. At least give the guys something to hang their hats on. It wouldn't hurt for the offensive line and Alexander to have some momentum going into the playoffs. It's kind of a slap in the face to let a guy carry yout team for a season and then not give him a shot to set a record. If I was one of his linemen I wouldv'e been very dissapointed that coach didn't let us pound one in at crunchtime. Alexander should have handled himself better obviously but he has apologized for his remarks. I would be a little pissed too if I had the best season in franchise history, and with the game on the line you let the QB fall into the end zone. Of course all that really mattered was if they won the game or not. What should give a guy more pride, a rushing title or winning their division? You're supposed to play for the name on the front of the jersey, not the one on the back. I'd have loved it if Alexander had been given the ball but stopped, and Seattle lost. And, regarding the last point that I bolded ... the o-line DID get to pound one in ... but for the QB instead of Alexander. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At least he's since apologized, but I think that was because he was getting slammed for his stupid remarks. Winning comes first, and Alexander can blame himself for not getting the title he wanted so badly. Fumbles on the 1-yard line will do that to a body.
