Yeah, it's a tougher catch than people think. Hard to catch a ball when the defender's arm flashes in front of the ball right before it hits your hands. But it was still a good throw.
Week 9 Commies vs. Pats
- Thread starter Nator
- Start date
He ran straight and was not touched...let's stop making something out of that TD.
No way. It was a perfect throw to get them into easy FG range with tons of time to spike the ball. Heck they'd even have had time for another sideline play before trying a FG. You're not right on this one at all.
The throw was fine. It would have been a nice catch, very similar to the one he just made a few plays before. That being said, Mac was awful again today.
They couldn't do anything against a team that traded it's best defensive players this week.
The wide receivers are terrible. The tight ends were invisible. The defense gave up 300 yards to Sam fucking Howell. The special teams were pathetic.
Bad day at home.

Pats would have been at the WAS 33 if JuJu didn’t fuck that up. Still a 50 yard FG so the needed more yards, presumably.
It's not like there were 5 seconds left.
A throw over the middle and a spike was obviously a very reasonable play. They still needed yards. Plenty of time to spike it and get a FG.
Not a bad decision at all by Mac. His WR are honestly almost never more open than JuJu on that play.
INT wasn't Mac's fault, but he sucks. Utterly incapable of making any plays. Just don't know what people who deny this basic fact are watching at this point. This offense is pitiful.
50 yards ain’t an easy FG. I’m not blaming Mac but they needed some more yards most likely.
And that should be the only thing that matters in this argument. It was s tough pass and catch given the coverage. It should have been going else where. Mac is a terrible decision maker and it’s been proven time and time again.
My favorite pass of the drive was the pass to Gesicki when he wasn’t even close to open. Go to your next option Mac. It’s not there.
It was intercepted right around the 30, then JuJu tackled the guy at the 33. About 25 seconds left, so plenty of time to spike it and leave about 15 seconds on the clock for a shot or two at the end zone and then a field goal.
Mac was bad today, made several awful throws (including the fourth down throw that Juju bailed him out on) and was a big reason they lost today.
Mac also made a nice throw there at the end and the INT was not his fault, and while it was a tough catch Juju has to make it.
All of these things can be true at once.

sure but the catch before was 20/80 to be caught, Mac threw it into the ground and JuJu picked it.
Live I thought the defender got a hand in to tip it and was blaming Mac. Replay shows it was pretty much 100% JuJu. I agree with whoever said the 4th down conversion was actually a much worse throw.
Either way, Mac still sucks.
Either way, Mac still sucks.
He is by far the biggest issue with the team. He can’t do ANYTHING well. He’s literally dragging the whole team down with him.
It's ok to say that Mac sucks but he still made a great play there. Juju made a great play right before but that was all in him. We can still say he sucks too.
Mac could find a cure for cancer and some people would find a problem with it. I think he mostly sucks, but that doesn't mean literally everything he does sucks.
A perfectly thrown ball into both hands of an NFL receiver on a slant is not a 50/50 ball, except when you're # outside receiver is JuJu
Agree. He was bad on the four drives before that ended in punts, but not on the last drive. It was a whole team failure that led to only three points in the half.
Yeah that was all on the corpse of JuJu. What a colossal disaster that signing has been. Great work Bill.
Team scores 17 points against the Commanders and it’s supposedly JuJu’s fault. Can’t make this stuff up on this board.
Pretty much everything he does sucks. I don’t see how anyone catch watch him play and not come to that conclusion. He literally can’t step into a throw.
the pick happened with 38 seconds. If that’s a catch they have like 25 seconds left, that’s enough time for multiple attempts at more yards and a spike if needed. Over 30 seconds almost in range, nothing wrong with throwing to middle of field.
and saying Mac can’t throw into a tight window because he’s not good so it’s a bad choice makes no sense, because he made the throw into the window. All juju had to do was catch it. Saying Mac can’t throw that pass in that situation is complete nonsense. Mac was bad, but that play is all juju
Close to 100% of people come to that conclusion, but some people also blame him for stuff that’s obviously not his fault, rather than just focusing on the actual negatives
That pick is mostly bad luck.
Throw wasn't great, too fair in front to be that low making it a rougher catch on the run but the positive is usually no real chance at a pick.
Juju, that's not an easy catch made harder by the defended turning him with the pull makes it hard to to get the bottom hand in position to catch.
Should Juju catch that... Maybe? Not easy but not insane most likely outcome if you don't get a call is incomplete... But dumb luck on the bounce makes you it a pick.

17 points, with 7 of them coming off a turnover and another 7 off a 64 yard run. But somehow the passing game isn't ass, guys! Look at that routine throw that was dropped into a pick!
I mean, you are making this up. Literally nobody is saying this GAME is JuJu's fault. Just that the last pass (the INT) was his fault. Which is true.
Brandon Powell caught the game winning TD and Dobbs converted a 4th and forever on a scramble.
WAS traded their two best pass rushers on Tuesday. Don't put a lot of stock in the OL today.
It was 4th and 7 and a nice run, but there is still a ton of talent for him to play with. It helps open up the field for people like Brandon Powell.
Yeah, it was the 33.
But if Mac doesn't make that throw, we're assuming there's another option out there. An incompletion is fine, stops the clock. A completion probably puts them there with 15+ seconds left after a spike. You gotta take that throw if it's there, and it was, and he made it, and JuJu did JuJu things.
Sorry, I meant to quote another poster that mentioned how he can’t try to throw into a tight window there
Do we think Caleb Williams has cried his way down into the range of where the Pats will pick?
They were fine the prior 3 weeks as well. The point is the QB and skill players have had time.
