Too Much Sportsmanship?

Listen I'm all for sportsmanship. I think players should talk to each other and wish them good luck before the game. And tell them "good game" after.

But it seem to me that the Panther defense was going out of their way to help up the Giants or slap them on the butt or tell them "great run" or "great catch."

I'm sorry, I'm not a fan of that. There is plenty of time for sportsmanship before and after the game. NOT DURING!

That bothered me a little. Anyone else?

You like watching personal fouls? Guys stepping on others? Late hits?

This game was great because of the sportsmanship it had.

I feel the opposite.

The players should just be themselves or otherwise they are just being petty.

yeah, that definitely accounted for the loss....what's the big deal? I'll never criticize a player for a lack of sportsmanship....but I know that's not a real popular opinion with the younger generation.

Good example, see how many people thought that it was funny the way that ahole reporter went at Marinelli yesterday. Most often, the ones that thought that was great, I would bet, are in their 20s...product of this bullshit culture where people don't wanna be dissed or yo ass is gonna get served....what a load.

What concerns me the most about the game is the numbers on the scoreboard, not how many times one of our guys helped the other guy up or said "nice play".

Most fans don't want to see their team helping guys up and slapping them on the butt. I'm not alone in this opinion. A lot of people who called the MSP had issues with it too. Including the hosts. It didn't have anything to do with the outcome of the game. But its not something that most fans like to see during the game. You can be a classy team AND a hard-nosed team. (see the San Francisco 49ers during the 80's). This game was for the #1 seed in the NFC. I don't want to see players saying "great run Brandon," "great catch Amaini!" The teams can do that after the game. For 60 min. those guys in blue are your enemies. Is that too much to ask?

most fans?

peppers destroyed manning on that one sack. Jacobs got crushed on a run. The game had intensity. yet watching them help each other up was a gem.

It doesnt need to turn into MMA, and kids dont need to see 'miami hurricanes and florida state' antics. Thank god they made the helmet rule in the NFL.

i completely agree with fitty 76, Their was way too much loving going around. It takes some energy to pick yourself up when you are that big and I want them to use their own energy on little things like that. I might have missed it but I really didn't see the Giants helping us out too much. this isn't tennis, let them get their own ass up.

I don't know, but it's not something I'm gonna get worked up over...

      They will be if they extend Young but I don't think we're there just yet. Morgan and Canales are tied and I don't believe Tepper is going to go look for a new front office for Bryce as things stand.

      I was playing around with the ESPN playoff predictor and it shows if 49ers and Rams finish with same record, the Rams hold the tiebreaker.

      This is my thinking as well. Seattle played as good as they could on defense and Panthers still had a chance until those back to back turnovers.  I don't think the Rams played particularly well in their game against us, alot things went our way in order to win.  Someone pointed out the Rams were bad on the east coast road games and Seattle has been the better road team but they just fought a hard contested game against the Panthers, and now they travel to San Fran this week for their biggest game of the season to determine the division and if they are the overall #1 seed in the NFC or will be traveling for the Wildcard weekend.  If they lose they then travel back cross the country to play a team they've just beaten two weeks ago, not saying they won't be favored against the Panthers but the energy of hosting our first playoff game in 10 years along with the get back effect of having just lost to this team could be huge.
