Help us with this. There were members of the Carolina Panthers secondary yesterday who used the words “shut it down” when describing the way Randy Moss played. They said “We knew he would shut it down.” and there were a lot of people who watched Moss’ performance yesterday and suggest that he looked somewhat disinterested out there on the field. Now you know him pretty well, when you were watching that what did you see and what do you think it means?

Well for one, you can not watch that [without] it [having] an effect on you. If you're a football enthusiast, if you're a Patriots fan, for me as someone who teaches wide receivers, how to be wide receivers and how to run routes and what type of effort and stuff it would take, it was pathetic. I was shocked because I know it's in him, but I thought he had matured to the point where I wasn't going to see it anymore.
Something happened to Randy, something had an effect on him. He had 1,058 yards going into this game, leading the AFC. Now something had to happen. When they sent those players home, did that have an effect on Randy? I’m not going to say that in particular because I’m not there in the locker room - I don’t know that. But something happened that affected Randy and his approach to the game and what he decided he was going to put out there yesterday.
I’ll give you a prime example, if you look at last night’s game and you look at DeSean Jackson, you [see] the energy he [brings] to a team. I know what Randy’s capable of because I know what he spurred me on to late in my career and the energy he brings to a team. And when Randy is like that - like he was yesterday - it’s hard for the team to overcome that. So I was shocked by seeing that.

No surprise there - he played awful. The big question is ... why? Just a bad game? Bad attitude? Injury? I think the Patriots know, and Randy knows, but they're not talking...
it was a bad performance tho. he fumbled, dropped the ball like twice. you can see through his body language that he wasnt in the game. thank goodness Welker was out there playin ball. Randy needs to let what happened last Monday go and focus. December is wayyy to important especially this season with Jets and Dolphins right under us.

Re: Cris Carter calls Moss performance "pathetic"
Tough to defend Randy this am. I'd like to give him the benefit of the doubt and say that he took a hit early in the game to aggrevate a pre-existing injury but.....

IF he tweaked his back it could have happened early on with the pass in the middle that he leaped for that was out of his reach. But anyway, he had a bad game. Everyone has bad games, but it seems some people think Moss has to be perfect otherwise he's a scumbag who intentionally dogs it.

There is a difference between bad games and lack of effort, and it is not hard to tell the difference. If Moss had just dropped a pass and fumbled then fans and the media would not be on him as much. His lack of effort and not playing hard is what drives the fans and media to get on him.
If it was just a bad game the CB that was covering him the whole game would not say that he was not giving it his best effort. It isnt like Gamble just decided to announce it to the media, he was asked a question about the way Moss played and he answered it honestly. He would know best, he was the one who lined up against him all game.
