What anger? I was NEVER "angry". I'm was just concerned that his showboating ALMOST cost us the TD. Kicking or throwing the ball in the stands certainly deserves a penalty, but they wouldn't call a TD back for it. As far as getting over it, I'm already past it. Meyer is the coach and he knows best.
