The reason Ted Ginn is receiving so much hate: He's a number 9 overall pick... Someone drafted that high means their supposed to be able to make tough catches.
Last i checked we've went up against prob. 2 of the best tigh ends in the league. "Gonzalez and Clark" Our offense didn't show up in game 1. So even if we held Tony in check, we'd still be 0-2. Or 1-1 if Ginn make the catch.
And we have Antonio Gates coming up!!!! Yikes!!!

First he's paid to catch the football...especially when it hits both of your hands...and please refresh our memories...what end zone catches did we miss? I believe he had only two last season.
Well the defender is paid to not let him catch it...... so what? Ted had 2 balls he should have caught and the last one he could have caught. I can't believe how the hate for Ginn is blinding some of you people from recognizing the real problem we had tonight...... tackling and covering. I guess to some only the last few plays of the game matter..... forget about all the rest. Or you have an agenda that you are trying to make a case for.
I guess I'm not a fare weather fan..... I'll support this team in the tough times. All you haters keep on haten. Overall our team played good tonight especially on offense and that includes Ginn.

Ginn obviously ran great routes and i think caught 11 out of 13 balls he had a chance for. I've seen much worse jokes at receiver in the nfl.
The easy passes you always expect out of average receivers...it's the two he missed that makes him average. Name any top 5 receiver that can get two hands free and touch the football and doesn't come up with a catch.

I guess you didn't see where I wrote Ginn played good tonight...but good is not enough when your asked to be a top receiver on the team.

So you're basicly saing that he's NOT ABLE to make catches like that? Just because he dropped one? TO caught 69, dropped 33 last year.

Every single top reciever had drops like that. All of them. No exceptions.

So? Owens still caught more passes and had more TD's than Ginn..right?
Yes, in his 2nd year, TO had 5 more catches than Ginn. So Ginn's obviously a bust. By the way, TO is not just a #1 WR, he's one of the all-time greats. Several true #1's had worse stats in their first 2 seasons than Ginn.
This is ridiculous. Flea Flicker, against Seattle last year. Ginn makes one of the best TD catches ever, and it played to his adcvantage...SPEED.
Yeah, I wanted him to catch this ball. But jeez, I have no idea how you can blame him after how the defense played. If it wasn't for Ginn, we wouldn't even be in this position. And you guys are calling him a wimp, I recall another wimp in this league but broke multiple records with a QB WITH AN ARM. His name is Marvin Harrison. You get a guy with a strong arm, Ginn is an ELITE receiver in the league. I love Pennington, but we're not playing to the strengths of what we have. Pennington goes well with big receivers who can make those jump ball throws. Ginn goes well with a qb with a big arm, and where he can use the speed.
But you blame anyone tonight, you blame the defense. Safeties the most, and bad coaching. Yeah, Ginn should make that catch, but with better clock management, and better defense, we win this game. Can't expect Ginn to carry the entire team. He's not that player yet.
