Willie McGinest - New England Patriots Forums

A couple of things...

One, heck of a game.

Two, after 2 or 3 sacks, maybe try sending some help to block him.

Three, on that one sack where he had Leftwich but couldn't get him down at first, what was the deal with him clubbing at Leftwich's head? I'm just wondering because I thought coming anywhere close to a QB's head was a no no in the NFL.

Even if he doesn't do anything else he has already:

Played in four Superbowls, has three rings, holds the record for most sacks in a playoff game, in the playoffs, and I believe he is either tied for or one behind the record fro most sacks in the Superbowl. Sounds like HOFer to me.

Hat's off to Willie!

With his prolific performance last night, there is no longer anyone in the NFL record books with more sacks notched in postseason play.

Not Bruce Smith. Not Reggie White. Not anyone.

McGinest, who passed both former NFL greats last night, has now dropped the quarterback 15 times in the playoffs during his career. That mark now stands as the best ever. Until of course, McGinest adds to the total.

looked more like he grabbed for the helmet (at most slapping)--i believe the rule is meant more for actual clubbing/punching...and of course is a matter of circumstance and umpires discretion...

There's been alot of discussion on this board about whether or not Willie is a HOFer. The general opinion was that he was worth consideration but not a lock. The voters love stats and records and now he's got a few. I call him a lock!

The best part of his day was after the last gift sack where the quaterback was chased into him he pulled himself from the game signalling enough is enough with a big smile on his face.

He will make it now. Just a question of how many ballots it will take.
