Shaun Alexander: stat hog?

what if it was portis.Would you guys still think the same?I bet you wouldnt have a problem with it.I personally think its O.K.

give the guy a break. there are a lot worse things he could do. the rushing title last year cost him money plus it was sort of a slap in the face towards a guy they weren't working too hard to shore up with a long term deal. looked like they didn't care about records and such which they should when they have the chance and the situation is appropriate. you like to do a good job and be recognized for it don't you? these guys are the same. cut him some slack.

Personally I can't see Portis trying to run past Gibbs to get in the game to score a meaningless TD.

for the tie of a record sure. The way alexander handled himself is my problem. He ran out there before being told to and i think holmgren had to put his hand on his chest and tell him to back off. Then i am sure he remembered the stuff alexander said last year and then was like ok let him in. Portis is more of a team player and gibbs or bugez would send him in if they thought he should be in. Portis wouldn't just run in without being told to

Holmgren let alexander in because of fear of what alexander might say

I would be EXTREMELY mad at portis if he said that gibbs stabbed him in the back over not padding his stats and trying to win a big divisional game.

If he was put back in with us being up 21-6 with barely over 4 minutes left with home field and a first round bye clinched, I know I'd personally be dissapointed in him and the coaches, but that's me. I'm all for breaking records if done when meaningful to the outcome of the game but not when you are crushing a team that has it's second and third string players out on defense it's rather pathetic.

They have been blowing teams out for a few weeks now and he was still in there late in games scoring tds. is there a difference?I dont think so.

well i think there is. Alexander was already taken out and then forced himself onto the field. But i think we should end this . I don't think any of us are really that upset about alexander either way. its fun to insult the NFCs favorite to snatch away my hopes of a super bowl, and in that spirit


Alexander= Bitchy stat whore

You make some good points.Honestly I dont really care, but he has had a great season and deserves to have the chance to get the record.

same here to an extent. since riggins got passed over I haven't really followed it much, lol. hopefully we will next year with portis :biggthump

what about the scenario of mr alexander getting hurt trying to get a stupid record when the hawks realistically have a shot at the super bowl?think they could go all the way playing a back up running back?their back up is so good i dont know who it is
