Kyle Williams Relives History In NFC Championship Game

PrintWhat a brutal loss for Kyle Williams and the San Francisco 49ers against the New York Giants on Sunday evening.
With the game nearly in hand, Williams allowed a punt to touch his knee, which was then recovered by the Giants. Then, in overtime, Williams was stripped on a punt return, allowing Lawrence Tynes an opportunity to kick a 31-yard field goal, propelling Eli Manning and the Giants into the Super Bowl against the New England Patriots.
ASU fans across the country couldn't help but feel an odd sense of deja vu. In 2009, Williams tried to be a hero at the end of the Territorial Cup game between the Sun Devils and Arizona, attempting to catch a punted ball after calling fair catch. He muffed it, and the Wildcats recovered, leading to a 32-yard field goal for the Arizona victory.
Skip to :48 in this video to recap that lousy moment in Sun Devil history.
Williams did it again on Sunday, and we all feel awful for him. Though I don't know any ASU fans who would have put him back there in such a huge situation, knowing his penchant for errors.
All the vitriol on Twitter, threatening Williams' life and family, must stop immediately. This was only a game, after all. There are far more important things in life to focus on and to threaten this man in such a way is a disgraceful act.

not quite a poor guy
he messed up on 3 critical plays and you tell me poor guy you have took cover the ball in traffic I understand that you tryna make a play but in the rain the field is sloppy you have to cover football! they teach you that in pop warner you don’t dive 4 punts and you sure don’t act like you don’t know the rules of football when the ball touches you the play is live I understand that you’re young and you tryna make plays but you have to play smart so the boils down to not a poor guy just not playing with your head at critical times just “my opinion” 415

harbaugh's fault
Wasn’t Jim harbaugh a pac10 coach when the UofA debacle occurred? Kyle should have never been out there.

Kyle Williams = choke
In the biggest game of his college career he choked. In the biggest game of his professional career he choked. Detect a pattern?
Poor kid
You gotta feel for him. He wears his emotion on his sleeves when he plays and is always playing hard. The week before, he played a hell of a game throwing a key block to open up a lane for Alex Smith to get into the endzone. Hopefully he can put this behind him and get redemption at some point. I held my breath everytime the Giants were punting. I had a feeling it was only a matter of time.
Goodness, I remember when he muffed the punt in the TC
I literally had to keep my brother-in-law from punching inanimate objects, i.e. Wildcat fans.
…yes, there was an obscene amount of alcohol consumed during the pregame and game.
It's not what you've done but what you are doing that matters.
