    Whoops - in my frenzy i thought i was responding to dog re the NE game. My bad. I agree about that jets game. Regardless, coming back for the ball on a crap throw isn’t as easy as you seem to think it is.

    I just watched three good players in high pressure situations fail to make catches that were less “circus” than clay’s not catch the ball. Sometimes, it’s the qb’s fault.
  3. dave mcbride
    Can you quantify “no heart” or at the least provide an anecdotal example?
  4. dave mcbride
    What is he supposed to say? Sheesh. Do you really expect him to throw the qb under the bus? Can you at least admit that it was a highly inaccurate pass and that the qb didn't deliver in a signature moment (despite a great scramble and good decision)?

    See previois comments by me about the field surface today — players were falling down all game. Regardless. It was short by 6-7 yards and required a circus catch because it demanded a reverse in direction. I remember you blaming watkins for taylor’s int v NE despite that he leaped as high as he could and his fingertips grazed the ball.

    Ah, my favorite blame-the-receiver line: “it hit him in the hands.” It was a bad throw (after a great scramble and great decision) that would have been a bona fide circus catch if caught. And are fans here completely blind to the fact that players on both sides were slipping and sliding all day on that surface??

    You are wedded to your interpretation. I liked allen’s play for the most part on that play (as I explicitly stated earlier). But it was a crap throw. It is what it is.

    Anyone just watch TN’s johnny smith’s “drop” of an easier catch possibility (but still a very difficult catch) in the end zone? Anyone see sterling shepherd’s “drop” in OT today??
  9. dave mcbride
    Lol. The ball most decidedly did not get there. It freaking did not even reach the goal line. You are about to enter my pet peeve of always-blame-the-receiver fans!
  10. dave mcbride
    Huh? That was a perfect throw in the only place the receiver could make a catch. It was precisely on target.
  11. dave mcbride
    (Nothing peeves me more than fans bringing out the pitchforks for receivers who don’t mke citcus catches on bad throws.)
  12. dave mcbride
    You are nuts. It’s not easy for any receiver to change direction and scramble back for a bad underthrow (and on a bad playing surface that saw tons of guys slipping around all day). Why can’t we all focus on the main reason it wasn’t caught — the fact that it was 6-7 yds from where it was supposed to be?? Sheesh.
  13. dave mcbride
    It was a REALLY inaccurate throw that is almost never caught (see Sterling Shepherd in ot on a better throw today??). That said, i loved what allen did on that play. Great scramble, great feet, and great decision. Just a bad throw that was more or less uncatchable. But there was a lot liked on the play.
  14. dave mcbride
    That was a really inaccurate throw that is very rarely caught. It was literally 7 yards short given that clay was around 5-6 yds in the end zone.
  15. dave mcbride
    I loved allen’s game today in many ways, but that was a straight up highly errant throw. It didn’t even make the goal line. No receiver should be expected to catch that with any regularity. It would have been a circus catch on a very inaccurate throw.
  16. dave mcbride
    No. No. No. bad throw and othing else.
  17. dave mcbride
    The excuse factory is closed. It was a bad throw. The excuse factory is closed. It was a bad throw.
  18. dave mcbride
    Just ... no. It was a bad, bad throw. No excuses.
  19. dave mcbride
    That is in no way shape or form zay jones’ fault. Come on announcers. Terrible throw.
  20. dave mcbride
    Agree 100 percent about the second half coaching.
  21. dave mcbride
    Just terrible, cowardly playclling by UB after they got the 29-10 lead. Pathetic.
  22. dave mcbride
    The offensive playcalling by UB since they took the 29-10 lead is exactly why teams with leads lose. Playong not to lose.

    Watkins foot issues seem to be chronic. I won't be surprised at all if he ends up needing surgery on this other foot and basically missing the rest of this season. He's out again this week.
  24. dave mcbride
    He has had some bad games, John. Like I said, the upside potential is great, but the proof will be in the pudding. I am hopeful and I like him. The knock on him, though, was always instinct, and bad instincts have ruined many a talented LB's career.

    LVE's season this year is better than any Hawk ever had. Hawk was decent in his rookie campaign, but even in his best seasons was really never better than a mild disappointment. He's not good this year. He's OK - at best. He has a high ceiling, but so did Aaron Curry.
