National Football League star Odell Beckham completely lost his cool against the Carolina Panthers
Norman also retweeted a few reactions, including Odell catching an “L”, and a bunch of feminine emojis in reaction to a Skip Bayless tweet.
Beckham put on a flashy pre-game show with his light-up Christmas cleats.
Suffice it to say that Sunday’s game against the Panthers was the worst outing in Odell Beckham Jr.’s short, meteoric career. Like Beckham read and saw all week about his matchup with Norman, the Giants read and saw about their runs, particularly defeating undefeated teams late in the season.
The Giants play Sunday night against the Vikings. Jackson is one of the greatest big-play threats in National Football League history. On another occasion he threw the ball at Norman. The Chargers Cannon went off when Danny Woodhead caught a 20-yard touchdown pass from Philip Rivers, the first of four scores for the running back in a 30-14 victory against the Miami Dolphins. DeMarco Murray is 14 for 14 on third and fourth downs of 2 yards or less, but he didn’t get a carry until the third quarter. He did not catch a pass in the first half for the first time this season, and his first reception came 39:42 into the contest.
Despite Beckham’s obvious loss of composure and all the penalties, Giants coach Tom Coughlin did not bench the high-strung second-year receiver, not even for a single play.
Many pundits said Beckham should have been ejected after his headshot on Norman – a view shared by the Carolina player. “He’s gotta learn at some point how to deal with some things on the field”.
“But today was a step backward”, Coughlin said.
The question with Beckham has to be when will this nonsense stop. The former St. Louis Rams and Tennessee Titans star also chimed in on Odell Beckham, Jr.as well.
Last season, the Bills had the defense no one wanted to play against. I expect a very hefty fine. Norman was no innocent victim, but Beckham was the chief offender. “I have learned it all throughout my life you know, always second man gets called, always, that it is just unfortunate”.
Panthers quarterback Cam Newton said he was not surprised by the physical grudge match between Beckham and Norman.
Not since Richard Sherman and Michael Crabtree in the 2013 NFC Championship Game have we seen a receiver and a corner go at it like this. I hope I pulled that mask off. I pulled back the face of what that dude really is.
“I’ve been blessed to have a guy like Cam Newton who continues to give me opportunities”, Ginn said. “But at a certain point in time, you go too far with it. I mean, I’m not gonna take no shot at nobody like that”. Opportunities come and they go, and you can either seize the moment or let them go by. He said maybe he’s fed up with winter.
And this is why I don’t think Coughlin should be coaching this team in 2016.
Norman classlessly and unnecessarily taunted Beckham via Twitter following the game. From there, things got more and more intense, leading up to a play where Beckham speared Norman in the head while the defender was on the ground. Against a wide receiver. They nearly got one, but they lost and now theplayoffs seem like only a remote possibility. He leads the AFC with 116 catches and is one of two players to catch at least 110 passes three seasons in a row. And those uncontrolled emotions at times hurt the Giants, as was the case Sunday.
Offense – QB Eli Manning.
