During Eastwood's 1st season, I made no bones about what I thought of Eastwood as RB for the Griz. AZ discussed this matter with me many times. So, why I didn't believe he was a good fit for the Griz, I wish all the best to him at whatever he moves into. Blaming the kid for the fumble against' the Cats is plain wrong, that fumble belonged to every person on the Offense and the coaching staff!
As a Cats fan I obviously LOVED the outcome of the game. One of the most fun I've ever had in that stadium.
However, that game should have NEVER gotten to that point in the first place. To lay the blame on a single kid in that situation is asinine. It took many mistakes by other players and your coaches as well as good plays by our coaches and players to even have a chance in that one.
Always found it interesting how so many piled on your young RB for fumbling, but still considered your QB the greatest thing since sliced bread even though he did the exact same thing. The momentum his fumble gave the Cats was huge at that point.
I guess it just shows that despite all of us watching the same game, we view it differently. Some truly believe the only play that matters is the last one. I don't look at sports that way.
