It's a very common phrase and a very common play. Read the defense and throw the ball where there's going to be space. The receiver can adjust easier than the defender. Edit: For an example, go watch the Josh Palmer catch against the Ravens. Jaire Alexander is "running the route" with Palmer but Allen leads Palmer upfield on a rope where there's space and Jaire can't react fast enough. This happens all the time in the NFL.

Yeah that's a really tough catch over the defender while twisting back toward the sideline. They should have tried that more than once in the game. It would have worked if the ball were placed a little better.

Probably toward the bottom of the middle third. But they're also playing with backups and rookies. They're not supposed to be that good right now. Our offense, on the other hand, is almost completely healthy and has been top-3 for the past 5 years. One side is playing to expectations. The other is playing far below them.

Brady is terrible. But Josh also has to get rid of the ball. Throw your receivers open if they're not open right away. Make the defensive backs make plays or get PI. He put very little pressure on their coverage while making it really easy for their line.

In three of our losses they gave up 23, 23, and 24. Those should be automatic wins. Even the Dolphins game where they gave up 30 while intercepting Tua twice was more on the offense turning the ball over 3 times and being otherwise inept.

Yeah, that's what I'm trying to tell that other guy.

The defense is half practice squad or rookies. And field position goes both ways. The Texans had short fields all night because the mostly healthy offense couldn't move the ball at all. You arbitrarily call one TD "backbreaking" but leave out all the stops they got despite getting no help from the offense. They certainly aren't absolved from all blame, but they certainly haven't been the biggest issue this year.

Really? In history? Sam Darnold accomplished that feat no more than a month ago. *****, Trevor Lawrence put up 29 against them. Allen played about as well as Cam Ward and Mac Jones.

My bad. I didn't even know Moore played tonight. You're right that it would be hard to be worse than 1 reception for -3 yards.

Not really. Every week they look like they're trying to lose the game. The worse the opponent, the worse they play. I miss when we demolished teams and played with heart.

Gabe is much better at blocking than Keon. He's also better at jump balls even though that's supposed to be Keon's strength. That game doesn't have me thinking "if only we could have thrown some incompletions to Keon we would have been fine."

What is he doing? Oh, are you getting pressured all night? Well get your protections right or get the ball out sooner, Josh. Are you getting ***** play calls? Well then check out of them, Josh. Is your team playing like a bunch of soft babies? Well then get in their faces, Josh. He's not helping the situation at all. He's just being a part of the problem and moping around about it. He's hardly the biggest problem but I feel like I'm out of bad things to say about Beane, McDermott, and Brady so now it's his turn for some blame.

Yup. And now Allen is starting to realize he'll never win here as well. He's been checked out most of the season and he's playing like it.

Who cares about a PAT? This is just another game that should have been a blowout and they inexplicably lost. Falcons, Dolphins, and Texans are absolute trash and we lost to all three. That makes us a team that has more to worry about than a PAT.

As poorly coached and as poorly played as it gets. Veteran OL giving up 8 sacks. Allen holding onto the ball for 5 seconds every play. The defense is half practice squad at this point and keeping them in games. The offense is completely healthy minus Kincaid and they don't give a *****. Dawkins laughing it up with Anderson after the game is disgraceful. No pride anywhere to be found on this team.
