Packers Marquez Valdes-Scantling tweets

Marquez Valdes-Scantling's fumble Sunday led to a Packers lo s in Indianapolis. Green Bay wouldn't have even been in overtime with two big plays from Valdes-Scantling. That didn't stop social media from blowing the fumble out of proportion.Valdes-Scantling tweeted Sunday night that he'd received Landon Collins Jersey death threats after the Packers' (7-3) 34-31 lo s to the Colts (7-3) in Week 11. It was his fumble that set up a Rodrigo Blankenship walk-off field goal four plays later to end the game.Death threats over a football game? Jesus you people need help. Its actually Jonathan Williams Jersey sick. Im good. My team got my back. Marquez V-S (@MVS__11) MORE:While Valdes-Scantling's fumble after Green Bay receiving the opening overtime kickoff proved costly, the Packers wouldn't have made it to overtime without their third-year receiver. With le s than 30 seconds to go in the first half, Valdes-Scantling drew a 51-yard pa s interference penalty, and Aaron Rodgers threw a touchdown to Jamaal Williams on the very next play. Then at the end of regulation, with Green Bay facing third-and-10 from its own six-yard line, Valdes-Scantling reeled in a 47-yard pa s, and the Packers went on to hit a game-tying field goal to force overtime.Valdes-Scantling showed the proper perspective in his first tweet after Sunday's game, writing that, "Without failure there is no growth."Thank You God. Without failure there is no growth. Marquez V-S (@MVS__11) There should John Riggins Jersey be no need to explainwhy sending death threats on social media to a profe sional athlete (or anyone) is dumb on any number of levels. Yet somehow they're not uncommon when people can hide behind a screen name. Headlines were generated Kyle Allen Jersey during the NBA Finals when received death threats after Green mi sed a shot in a big moment. At the time, Green said that he just hoped people were as "pa sionate" about more important things, such as "voting or getting justice for these people who deserve justice."Valdes-Scantling hasn't spoken with the media since tweeting that he received the threats. After Sunday's game, Packers head coach , "How can you live with MVS?" He summed it up pretty well."I was so proud of his effort," LaFleur said. "I know he's Wes Schweitzer Jersey really hurting right now. He made so many plays for us and not only in the pa s game but in the run game, stuff that you guys probably don't even notice that we're not getting the yardage that we get if he's not blocking his a s off. So I can live with MVS. I've got more confidence in him now than probably ever."
