Why was Boldin upset?

[sportznutt]

After the fumble recovery by St. Louis, Boldin was waving around looking all angry.......the announcers speculated that it was because he didn't get the ball on that play.

 

[Zeno]

He was pissed at Becht for fumbling, at least thats what it looked like to me. I am sure he was worried we were going to let them back in the game and he as much as anyone wanted to win.

 

[az1965]

I thought too, but some posters in other threads have clarified that he was mad at Becht. He seemed to be ok with Leinart as he was later talking to him.

 

[sportznutt]

That's exactly what someone needs after fumbling.

 

[Bert]

Anquan Boldin? Upset?

Nah, you must have been seeing things...

 

[devilalum]

When Boldin isn't upset you should start a thread.

Q was on many bad teams and has seen many bad meltdown losses.

 

[Clif]

None of the above. He looked mad because he didnt think Becht's fumble was incomplete because he did not have control. Sure he was mad for multiple reasons, but from the video he was making a juggling signal.

 

[TJ]

The wise move would have been to throw to the open Q who was hovering around the 1st down line. Whatever. That was on Becht to hold on to the ball.

Being mad is ok (or I would argue it is good)... Making those faces and borderline showing up your teammate is stupid. Quan has lost a fumble this year too.

Its football, competitors are going to get upset at stuff on the field. If you don't get ticked at a teammate for laying the ball down in that situation, something is wrong with you.

Maybe he should have kept his hat on though. That would have made it less obvious.

Maybe he was mad about the checkdowns. I too am not a fan of checking down. TH should not be one of our leading receivers.

At this point anything Q does near a camera will be filmed. Next week he'll be blasted for picking his nose.

WR's tend to have more female groin type issues than other players do. boldin is no exception. marshall had a breakdown again today.

It didn't look that way from my view in the seats, his eyes would have burned a hole through Becht had he been able to. Becht wouldn't even look at him, and Boldin to his credit didn't make matters worse by getting in his face.

Agreed.

More fan paranoia and media hype.

The march to drive Anquan Boldin out of AZ continues.

What's next ? Someone going to pack his bags, and sell his house for him ?

 

[Totally_Red]

A-Dub and Q are fierce competitors who have suffered through a lot of losing seasons in the desert. I'm glad they have a low threshold for critical mistakes by their teammates. IMO they are entitled to be a little upset when stuff like that happens. Anger management training is not necessary.

Agreed.

That's what I thought. He was angry with the officials.

 

[Pariah]

That's what I thought. He was angry with the officials.

That was my thought, too. But I was watching without sound, so who knows.

lol... so true

 

[DeAnna]

I certainly hope he was mad at the officials, 'cause Q has certainly had his share of fumbles. He fumbled at the 1 yard line, duh.

 

[Shane]

He fumbled at the 1 yard line, duh.

Ummm no he didn't, duh.
