    There is no play that I would blame a fumble on a blocking player. Job 1 for any player with the ball is keep the ball.

    I'm kinda with you there, and I said as much. I totally agree that there was bad missed blocks, and it wasn't all Mendenhalls fault, but .......as a RB your 1st priority must be to maintain possession of the ball.
    Exactly how I felt when the Bus fumbled it on the goal line against the Colts in the playoffs. Only difference is he had Ben to save him with that tackle.

    Mendenhall was a way better runningback than Najee Harris

    yes Ben was there and yes made a tackle
    BUT
    Harper fvcked the runback luckily and that is the only reason Ben was there to make a play he should have made at that range like any football player does
    HARPER FKD UP
    PLAIN AND SIMPLE

    Harper's wife stabbed him in the knee the night before the game and he had to run in a straight line.
