Was a terrific play call. Bad execution on both ends (bad throw, but still should’ve been caught). You’d expect high-school players to execute that throw and catch.Anytime you can put your season in Minshew’s hands while Taylor is standing on the sideline….
Better to drop back, roll out and throw it 100 feet in the air OOB.Safety on 4th down?
That works tooBetter to drop back, roll out and throw it 100 feet in the air OOB.
No, but then you'd need an 80 yard hail mary.If you fair catch any time goes off the clock?
No but then you’re needing to hit a Cal-Stanford miracle, might as well just return the kickIf you fair catch any time goes off the clock?
I didn’t think it was a bad throw. The DE was in the throwing lane so he had to throw it out to the right. I’m 35 now so to channel my dad, hit him in the hands. He throws it normal it gets batted down.Was a terrific play call. Bad execution on both ends (bad throw, but still should’ve been caught).

PIT gets in if either JAX or BUF loses. Buffalo probably has to win in light of PIT’s win earlier; oddly, if Buffalo wins they’re the 2 seed, but if they lose they’re out altogether unless JAX loses.So if Jax wins, either Pitt or Buff are eliminated?
yeah, i get the idea of... touch it gotta catch it, but guy had to completely stop the route and spin around to try to catch that, even getting hands on it is a good adjustment because that was WAY behind him and a bit low. Funny thing is... to catch it he probably has to go to the ground.... and then he might be short of the 1st down.I didn’t think it was a bad throw.

edit: eh, throw should’ve been better. Mixed up the direction the RB was going
With Lawrence a GTD, a Jaguars loss is definitely on the table but it would be great theater if Bills needed a win on Sunday night to make it. I think it would potentially set up Tyreek return to KC too, if Miami loses.PIT gets in if either JAX or BUF loses. Buffalo probably has to win in light of PIT’s win earlier; oddly, if Buffalo wins they’re the 2 seed, but if they lose they’re out altogether unless JAX loses.
Yeah, whether or not it would have been a first shouldn't even be a question.It would’ve definitely been a first. His body was at the first and hands a yard short so momentum would’ve given him a couple yards.
Ball hits his hands at around the 11, his feet are around the 10, 1st down marker was around the 9. If he goes to ground he can probably barrell roll or dive, but... he's facing the wrong direction. That's really what makes it such a bad throw and tough catch. Ball is supposed to be laid out in front of him at the 9 so he can catch it in stride. Worst case right on him so he can turn at the 9 and catch it, instead it's between the 10/11 and tailing away from him and down. Brutally bad throw, missed it by 5-6 feet. My point wasn't that if he reels it in there he won't make it but more that it's a tough catch because he can't do what you would on say 3rd down and slide onto your knees to get your body in front of it, because then you're at the 11 on your knees and have to get up and gain 1.5-2 yards without getting touched.It would’ve definitely been a first. His body was at the first and hands a yard short so momentum would’ve given him a couple yards.
yeah someone like Anthony Lynn, Nathaniel Hackett, Arthur Smith, Gary Kubiak or Marc Trestman (Shanahan tree)Dear Robert Kraft, please hire from the McVay or Shanahan coaching tree. Thank you.
Rob Saleh, Brandon Staley,yeah someone like Anthony Lynn, Nathaniel Hackett, Arthur Smith, Gary Kubiak or Marc Trestman (Shanahan tree)
I come down on "equal blame". That pass should have been better. But it also should have been caught. The RB choked just as much as Gardner did.I think receiver and Minshew share blame on the incompletion, but I'd put more on Minshew - really shitty pass with no defender near him.
Too soon!The pass was worse than Brady's pass to Welker, that's for sure.
Probably not retiring. But he probably won't be back to Tenn either.Tennessee came to play. Jax needs to go all out. And, is Derrick Henry retiring? He’s still the closest thing to Jim Brown in the league right now.
Would be good for Henry, get him to a good team like what happened with CMC.Probably not retiring. But he probably won't be back to Tenn either.
The Falcons’ Week 1 starter isn’t on the current roster.Not sure Ridder is the answer.
