Its just ridiculous. Buckner was pushed back in this gif and had two linemen on him. Meanwhile in the earlier Packer gif, two Packers completely flatten Buckner and throw him down like a rag doll.....yet he was occupying two blockers so it made it a good play for him.
Just absolutely laughable.
On Buckner's play vs the Lions that you seem to be referencing, he allowed the post blocker on a combo block to go through him like a hot knife through butter and wipe out the linebacker for what may have sprung a long, breakaway touchdown run if Ragnow hadn't screwed up his pulling block on Elijah Lee.
On Thomas's play, he tried to tie up a guard on a non-combo block, ultimately failed, and the Packers gained a whopping 3-4 yards.
You don't even know what you're looking at.
