More Cringe worthy: Zeke's 'Feed Me' or Mo's incomplete?

[Stash]

Considering how little first downs we got last season, I don't mind it at all. He will settle, he's 21. I'm sure he will be told to stop.

I expect so as well. He's still a work in progress and he's gotten better each week so far. I expect that to continue and for him to continue to mature as a professional.

Yeah, let's tell our guys that swagger and attitude is a bad thing. That'll boost their confidence soooo much more.

I don't watch a ton of NE games but I also don't remember a whole lot of goofy celebrations from the ones I do watch. They look confident and professional to me.

Zeke's 'feed me' was the most annoying to me.

Is that suppose to be a gesture to the coaches to keep feeding him the ball? I would put an end to that stupidity pretty quick.

I think it means he's hungry....like he wants to do well.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

Fans will complain about anything I guess.

 

[Titleist]

Neither really bother me but I do chuckle a bit when Mo vehemently signals incomplete on a pass launched into the stands...

 

[TheCoolFan]

I've never been impressed with Chicago's Kevin White...especially not as a 1st round WR. Besides the one nice catch he made, I was glad whenever they were targeting him over Alshon.

 

[theebs]

Not bothered by either.

The whole league over celebrates. There is not a team that doesn't do this stuff.

Its not disrespectful to the other team so I have zero problem with it.

I am torn, which celebration is more cringe worthy in your estimation?

Zeke's 'Feed Me' after every first down carry, with the First Down sign on top of it or Mo's exaggerated 'Incomplete' sign after balls that sail well out of bounds or that had absolutely nothing to do with his coverage.

I gotta go with Zeke's horrible celebration but it was not as obvious as I thought.

I don't mind Claiborne's celebration. He's had a tough time of it in his career because of the injuries so he deserves to celebrate, plus I think it feeds his confidence.

Zeke's feed-me motion is overdone. If he only broke it out for big plays, maybe it wouldn't be irritating. Plus, he doesn't need both the feed me and the first down. Pick one, rook!

I disagree with you in it not being disrespectful, but I do agree that the vast majority of the league over celebrates. To me, it only makes the individual player look bad because they're too stupid to realize that you don't pat yourself on the back for doing your job.

I use to love the 90's Cowboys' business-like approach. They celebrated when they achieved their biggest goals, touchdowns and championships. And they did it together, not individually.

I hate both.


Claibornes shut down celebration is bigtime cringe but Zeke acting like Roy Williams after every first down is just as bad.


I like the feed me thing but the crazy first down celebration after is cringe.

 

[LOBO7]

If its bothering our fans imagine what the other team thinks.
I love it.

They aren't the standard though. I've seen the Seahawks celebrate and show swagger. They are champions too. I've also seen the Patriots cheat. Is that the standard too?

I have no problem with this. Only time I don't like it is if you're losing by 40 points or celebrating for no reason. Claiborne signaling "No Good"......I just don't see the problem. Its very mild type celebrations. Especially compared to what Ray Lewis and Shawn Merriman use to do.

Its no different than Dez putting up a diamond.

 

[gimmesix]

Well he got 30 carries and asked out the game at least once

So, are you saying he needs a stop-feeding-me sign? Maybe he can add a head motion while doing the feed-me sign, like a baby when you're bringing food to his mouth and he doesn't want to eat it.

What I don't like about it is he gets burned, guy drops the ball, and he is doing his shutdown symbol...

Do it when it's validated but you didn't shut the guy down because he dropped the ball.

 

[Ender]

Still manages to find something to complain about after a win.... Smh.

I thought the feed me was cool against Washington..

This week it was a feed me with a over dramatic first down celebration after. Reminds me of Roy Williams and all of his stupid first down celebrations.. Go hit pay dirt and then celebrate.

 

[CanadianCowboysFan]

Neither one of them bother me.

I'm not even sure why either would bother anyone, to be quite honest.

People need to complain about something

Irvin made a scene after just about every first down.

I remember some, but not as many as you're referring to.
