Estro Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Both. The ball was a duck. It came out funny, was wobbly and was probably a good 10 to 15 feet underthrown. There was no one close to guarding lay and a ball that was a few feet higher and you have yourself an easy TD. That said, Clay could've and probably should've come up with the ball. It looked to me like he almost started tripping as he was going down low to get underneath the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarleyNY Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Both. But the pass was way easier to make than the catch, so bad pass gets my vote. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CincyBillsFan Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 2 hours ago, matter2003 said: Allen said postgane he didn't like the way it felt coming out of his hand and he also took responsibility on the Jones throw saying it was Cover 0 and Jones was 100% correct in continuing to run and he threw it as if he was going to sit down. And this is why I really like Allen a lot. He doesn't throw his teammates under the bus. In the long wrong this is far more important then winning this one game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After I turned off our game I watched Kelce & Rudolph make great catches using strong hands to hang on. After last year's performance before injury, I thought Clay would be a nice sleeper. Sleepy maybe, not sleeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 If only Clay had put in 5% of the effort Allen did, we win that game. Having said that, seeing Allen lead them was more important to me than a win. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobobonators Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Allen was running away from the throw under pressure, its not like he had all day to plant his feet and throw a perfect ball. Any average WR in the NFL has the agility and quickness to react to that pass and grab it without breaking a sweat. The fact that Clay sucks and is done is the only reason it was even close. It shouldnt have been close. It should have been a comfortable catch for a TD. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he made the throw he was off-balance. He had to get it off as fast as possible.He had no time to set his feet. Essentially, it got there. All Clay had to do was take a couple steps towards the pass and catch it. Josh made a great play in my opinion. Shame AMEN ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CincyBillsFan Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 1 hour ago, SWATeam said: I can't believe this is actually a serious question. Do people even remember what Allen had to do to even get that throw off? It was an amazing play by him. Bad pass lol Agree. Folks who are calling it a bad throw are acting like Allen dropped back in the pocket had ALL day to scan the field and then make a throw to a wide open guy in the end zone. Instead Allen was running for his life narrowly avoiding a couple of sacks and then turning and throwing a catch-able ball to the end zone. Frankly, ALL THINGS CONSIDERED it was an incredible throw. As others have noted there are only a couple of QB's in the NFL who could have gotten that ball to Clay and I would add that there's only a couple of QB's in the league who could have escaped the rush and not been sacked. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
row_33 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 I haven’t seen any tape of what was going on downfield as the camera was on Allen it won’t exculpate Clay, May make me feel worse about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best Williams Available Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 They didn’t even need a TD. Clay should have been running back to his QB vs sitting there hoping he can reach him. POS lazy play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJB Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Allen was on the run, moving sideways and throwing somewhat across the field and his body. That is a drop on Clay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McNubbins Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Given the circumstances, it was a drop. A rookie QB under pressure throws a ball in the vicinity of a veteran tight end who is wide open. Charles Clay had to catch that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
