NO doubt TB.

Reeves hasn't proved his case that he can't be replaced.

Crayton, good year but those drops absolutely killed us. His mouth is writing checks his body can't cash.

Is there going to be a mea culpa thread from those who made sarcastic posts to those of us who said this was coming a month ago?

I don't know why any of you are surprised. This team has been playing like this for over a month.

Those two cost us the game today...


Cratyon blows plain and simple... For a guy that whose best contribution besides his 4.65 speed is his hands, he sure looke dliked Miles Austin..

What a dud.. and a waste of money. Reeves sucks but not more than Crayton. And Jerry didnt throw seriously loot at him. Crayton talks like T.O but backs it up like a converted QB from NE Oklahoma State...

What a dud!

In all fairness, he wasn't the only one. Flo and Gurode finished the game just going through the motions. Gurode wasn't snapping the ball on the count and Flo was getting beat by Osi. There are others. Fasano missed a big block and missed a TD pass in the end zone that hit him in the chest right between the numbers. It just goes on and on.

But, I think if we replace Reeves in the off-season with someone who can cover, we'll be all right.

True but this thread is about Crayton and I limited my comments to only him...

Like me. Yep, you were right. I assumed that this team would probably pull out of it. Just look at my signature. But they didn't.

I still take sort of a moderate look at it though, as disappointing as this loss is. We've got a few important holes to fill and that's about it.

Here's my list of cuts and improvements that would help:
The OL stunk tonight but they don't actually stink. I'd like to see a big LG added that matches the other guys to replace Kosier.

Like a lot of people, I think we need another WR.

Coaches? I'd rather see Garrett as head coach than WP. The penalties are a huge problem as are the special teams. But no baby with the bath water on this.

Sure, Roy could go, we could use another CB but why the hell aren't we getting more pressure when we need it? We've got Ware and Ellis. I think we need an insider linebacker to replace Akin.

And here's one I'll throw out there that's out of the box, probably unpopular. I'm not sold on Ratliff as this fantastic NT. I know the coaches love him, I know that's the CW on Ratliff but I don't see that push up the middle and I don't see the running lanes being clogged up. I would love for us to draft a big old 325 pounder in the middle, Ratliff, Ferguson, and Tank be damned.

When you start shooting your mouth off (Crayton), you give other teams bulletin board material...

Great... now back it up...

Now... not only did you not back it up, you cost us dearly...

I used to be a big fan. Quiet player, great hands. This year you decided to shoot your mouth off like a superstar and you have sucked royally when it counts...

Take Roy with you when you go...

That drop was about as big as the holding call in the NE game on Kosier but this one even bigger with more at stake....It was a TEAM loss but Crayton WOW come on man if you gonna talk...then STEP up....This game just gave me that feeling that it just wasnt for us today....Those plays we made all year and today we didnt make em....

I used to be a big fan of Crayton's too. After today, I'm very disappointed in him.

At best, he's a #3 WR.

... it's also time to get a new punt returner.

Not so sure I agree on Reeves but I'm sorely disappointed in Crayton. I was at the game and felt like he was bought when he gave up on a clear TD pass. Totally shocked:mad::mad::mad:

Sorry but I do, the plays you are talking about are nothing that a normal average receiver does not make, there are lots of those. Today Crayton single handedly cost this team the game, all he had to do was not QUIT, he QUIT in a playoff game, when it was all on the line, with 23s left! Cut him, I dont want anything like that near our team.

:bow: Crayton's drop killed Dallas. He also quit running on the endzone pass in the final drive. Reeves and Crayton are useless:banghead:

If any good can come of Crayton's game, it's that just about everyone - from fans to journalists - knows he cost us a playoff game with two or three bonehead plays today. He'll have plenty of opportunities to make it up in the future. He's very talented - there should be no doubt about that - but he needs to talk less and focus more from now on.

That's about as nice as I can feel about it right now. Earlier, I was out of my mind with anger. You CANNOT stop running on a route in the end zone - EVER! That was as sure a TD (maybe the game-winning TD) as there can be. The pass was PERFECTLY thrown...but he stopped running.

:bang2:

Maybe some of the credit but you can't blame the whole game on just those two. How about the penalties, and alllll those missed tackles.
I agree Crayton Messed up major ,but there was alot of blame to go around.
nope, the other guys got us in a position to win, Crayton quit on his team...he is dead to me. I hope there is some possible way to trade him. HE epitomizes the chracter and lack of of heart this team must get rid of.

The second half was a complete meltdown but Reeves and Clayton certaining stand out. Reeves made Steve freakin smith look like an all pro.

Wasn't it earlier this season that Crayton dropped a sure touchdown in the endzone?

Except for one drive. Well, it was really just one person on one drive.
