I use to get mad when Darlene Sharpier would return a pick out of the end zone to the ten yard line or worse, fumble it. I don't think Burnett was afraid, Peppers motioned him to down it and he did. Would you argue with Big Julius?

Situational football. Burnett needs to know how much time is on the clock. He had room to run.

No, well not with some people anyway. They would have said "Bostick had a clear chance to get the ball and he let it go by" Of course some people would probably be bitching if he had fielded it because he "was supposed to block"

As others have said I have no problem with him trying to field the ball. In most situations yes, you block your guy but when the ball bounces right in front of your face and you are a TE who is supposed to have some sort of ability to catch the ball you try to catch the ball. I'm guessing he makes that play 9 times out of 10. Just sucks when the 1 time is the first time.

I mean, what other possible explanation could there be to take a dive in that situation? If you're not TRYING to let the other team back in it?

He dropped the ball in more ways than one.
