Did you listen to Moss' PC after the game?? He said he feels should've jumped for that ball and that was a mistake on his part, it was a judgement call for him and he made the wrong judgement. It wasnt brought up by the media, he brought it up and said how he regretted not jumping. Not to mention running full speed and jumping afterward is not the easiest thing to do and not doing it could most definetely be due tiring out.
What upsets me is that anyone else and its just labeled a bad decision not to jump but with Moss why does it have to be about "effort"?? I understand the media bringing up that old tired argument about Moss, but Pats fans?? I mean just think for a second what you're implying. By questioning his effort on that play, you're saying that he dogged it on the final drive of the SB, THE game that he came to NE to win, THE game that he never played in previously in his career, on a pass that could've made him an immediate SB legend. You basically dont feel he's shown you enough this year to be given the benefit of the doubt regarding the effort he would give on the most important drive in Patriots history, not to mention his own career. I mean, with the year he had, the humbleness he displayed, the strong worth ethic in the game and in practive, and the complete backing of his teammates in that regard...a Pats fan shouldnt even question his effort in a regular season game, let alon the damm Superbowl.. Jeez...with fans like you guys who needs critics, you're doing all their hackwork for them.
