Since you deem the 7 missed tackles as "hand tackles", I get at least 4 true missed tackles, you get banned til the day after the superbowl. easy right? you know, since all the missed tackles were just hand tackles and its a horrible HORRIBLE stat.

I didn't say I deem 7 missed tackles as hand tackles.

Let me tell you something about "missed tackles" or "broken tackles"... it's so nebulous that it's not an official NFL stat. Inasmuch as there are eleven players on defense one could probably count WAY MORE than seven "missed tackles" on Ingram's 14 carries... why stop at seven? Why not 140?

I said I don't recall any broken tackles, and I don't. I don't recall a single instance when Ingram broke out of the clutches of a tackler, or bowled one over, or bounced off one, or made somebody miss who given his position on the play absolutely should have tackled him. Maybe there was one or two... I don't recall it because although I was thrilled that he gained so many yards I wasn't THAT impressed.
