Tripplett up for Defensive POTW!

[Oaf]

The former waste of space easily played his best game as a Bill here, both against the run and pass. Hopefully this will be a trend to continue, as we'll need it if we want to reach the postseason.

Rod Hood and Tatupu are the biggest threats IMO as they were also catalysts in close games. Hopefully Tripp will win.

Tatupu should win hands down.

I wanted Tatupu to be a Bill in the worst way. I friggin knew that guy would be good!

I agree.....I voted for him

Re: Tripplett up for Defensive POTW!

I wouldn't call Tripplett a "former waste of space" just yet. He had a great game, but in 28 games as a Bill he's had maybe 4 or 5 good ones. He needs to be a lot more consistent.

Bills fans are too eager to forget weeks or even seasons of poor play for one or two good performances.

Tatupu with ease.... 3 INTs and 11 tackles is slightly more important to his team than what Tripplet did for us. Though I was certainly pleased to see Tripplet have easily his best game as a Bill.

Kudos to Tripplett for a great game. If he doesn't force that fumble or pull in that INT, we most likely lose the game.

Triplett had a great game.

He is having a far better season than Darwin Walker.

5 years/$18 million and 28 games later, Tripplett made the kind of impact we've been waiting for.

For all the talk about Trent last Sunday, we don't win that game if it's not for LArry Tripplett.

I wouldn't say this was Trippletts first big game with us, but I think it's fair to say he's been a little dissapointing. I didn't expect him to be a pro-bowler though. It's not like DT's come up with two turnovers every week. A little more qb pressure would be nice though.

Your to eager to remember the bad parts about those seasons as well.

because those of you who remember the good parts are always the ones who want to keep useless players.

BTW, I just re-watched the game- Tripplett's the one who got the late hit on Campbell on the 2nd to last play and gave the Skins one last shot. Fortunately nothing came of it, but that's inexcusable.

That was a total BS call. If it wasn't for Tripplett, Campbell is taking a knee on that play. He played great.

I think it may have been helmet to helmet, but the NFL has gotten too protective of the QB's. Just because there is helmet to helmet contact doesn't mean it was intentional or even that the play was dangerous.

That being said, Tripplett's been around long enough to know not to get anywhere near the QB's helmet in that situation.

Agreed. His good game was more of being at the right place at the tight time. Especially with that INT.
