    That was a good call, he was holding.
    Still love the guy. Big target and very solid hands.
    Great game for ED

    I was talking about the OPI call, not the holding. He was definitely holding on that play, totally agree. My initial reaction was that it was a weak OPI call but its tough to tell when they're tied up like that. Ref could have saw something we didn't I guess.

    He's sneaky quick, just like Chrebet was. If he gets behind the guy covering him he'll get some yards.

    How many receivers did the same exact thing Decker did and it doesn't get called as OPI. We are always getting screwed with bad penalties.

    Anyway, Decker was solid. He's no Megatron or Julio Jones. But he runs good routes and is a sure pass catcher. He along with Kerley and Nelson are legit receiving threats.

    Yep, both have deceptive speed, and are very scrappy players that try their hardest despite their skin color- I-I mean their reputations. :rolleyes:

    A.J. Green did the same thing to AA in the preseason game for no call

    If Eric Decker was black they would be calling him a number 1...not trying to be racist here....but its true.

    He's a nice player

    Good reliable receiver - better than any 2013 option

    Don't understand the hate- I'm very glad to have him and loathe people trying to give him some BS #1 or #2 nonsense

    You win games with players and not clichés

    Should've been over 100 yards but he had that BS OPI call. He is definitely a #1 receiver, not everyone can have Calvin Johnson on their team just because he's not megaton doesn't mean he can't be a #1. Looking forward to a great season.

    I don't think there is much hate from the fans, more so the douchebags at ESPN and NBC
