When you are six years old.

It depends on how the stat is calculated. The "time to throw" stat often if not usually shows the exact opposite of what it is supposed to. Out of contact the raw stat is less than worthless. It's harmful because people don't know how to see it or use it or understand it. When do these stat companies start and stop calling something "separation?" A lot of times a defender watching the QB will leave his man as soon as he is confident it's not going to him. That guy gets the extra separation yards? If it's a zone, which is like, half the plays, and the defense let's a guy go so the safety behind is supposed to pick him up, this is "separation?" It's a total bullschitt stat.

The illegal formation penalties have to be more on the players than the coach. First of all, there is no way the designed play has an illegal formation in it. Second of all, the rules are REALLY EASY to figure out, especially as far as the outside guy needs to be on the line and two guys can't be on the line on the same side at the same time. You learn that in sixth grade and it never changes. Dimarco getting called out for illegal formation wasn't necessarily Dimarco's fault. It may have been but it wasn't Dabolls.

Don't look at the separation stats they are complete bullschitt. A play where no one covers a guy because of a mistaken coverage a guy has great separation. Look at the games and then the all-22. Zay gets little separation although in the last couple games he's been slightly better. Not good though. Very nice double move and catch on the TD though. That was very nice.

Are you really saying that Zay Jones has been beating coverage and often open and Josh Allen has been repeatedly missing him? That hasn't been happening. In fact, Zay dropped a very catchable third and long pass by Allen today.

I don't get it either.

Watson threw two INT and one of them was a HORRIBLE pass. He fumbled at least twice. He was sacked six times, showing terrible awareness. The one TD he threw was much more of a great catch than anything else. He threw a few nice passes but not any more than Josh.

I'm just going off on top of my head. He was 10-17 or maybe 19? He threw one horrible pass to Clay and two bullets right to Clay. He threw two long passes to Benjamin right on the money one of which was called back. He threw a 10-15 yard pass to Zay that was dropped. He threw a nice swing pass to Shady on the run and and a WR screen on the money. He threw a bomb to Benjamin that was double covered and smart to be too long. He rolled out and threw a tremendously accurate pass against the grain to Shady. He threw a short roll out that wasn't great but in range and caught by Clay on the sidelines. He threw a ball away on the sidelines toward KB that had no chance because he wasn't open at all. Where are all these wildly inaccurate passes outside of the first play?

I was saying that more along the thinking that all quarterbacks miss a few wide open plays every game, including the great ones and the hyped ones.

While you were absolutely right about virtually all of that his arm strength really was the problem. Because every DB in the league that has watched film knows it. And Joseph knew it before the play. So he was looking to jump the route before it even materialized, which is clear. And his knowledge of the weak arm is what made him think he could do it. Which is why Peterman should have never been in the league.

Wait a minute, Mahomes has all day and misses wide open guys for touchdowns? That can't be true.

We could use a guy like Josh Gordon. Or Julian Edelman. Or Sammy Watkins. Or Tyreek Hill. Or Chris Conley.

Well don't telegraph it like that, dummy! Say pumpkin seeds or something so no one knows it's you! Sheesh!

Last week they threw a WR screen to Ray Ray and it was one of the best plays of the whole game. Iirc it was only the second time they did it all season although there may have been more. The only one I recall was to Andre Homes for crissakes. Today they didn't do it once while Josh was in. They threw one to Zay when Nate came in and it was an easy 6-7 yard gain. Makes no sense you wouldn't do that with a guy like Josh.

It's funny because Allen makes a lot of mistakes for a raw rookie and it's inarguable. But to me it's amazing that this raw rookie gets to his third option so often.

I usually like Lofton, sort of. At least I give him the benefit of the doubt. He was awful as an analyst all game today. Remarkably consistent in fact.

What were the Texans thinking that drive? They were able to run most of the game. They called three straight stupid plays. Awesome goalline stand for sure. But I was laughing at the Texans play calls. That was incredibly Billsy.

I didn't see many plays he didn't try. Someone mentioned he didn't give good effort on one running play. He made two excellent catches on long balls, one of which was called back.

It may be simpler. It could be that McD finally comes to his senses and says, "Nate, I truly believed God loves you but he hates you."

Actually one good play in two seasons may seal it!

Average time to throw is stupid. He gets rushed immediately on an extraordinary amount of plays. He roles out and scrambles all the time, not because of good blocking. He rarely has all day. We think three seconds is all day. You watch other games and QBs almost always have legit all days.

Yep. I was going to say most more stupidest but I thought it sounded most stupider.

It wasn't though. It's still terrible. Just because Shady or Ivory make some good runs doesn't mean the line is doing well. Most runs in every game there is zero room. When Josh has a lot of time on 3-4 plays we think that is good blocking when it's not. He gets one second a lot of time. It's also true that like Tyrod he will bail early. But we are NOT getting good blocking on those plays. At all. He does hold the ball too long but so many times you see he is looking at 2-3 guys and there is NO ONE open. The incomplete in the endzone today to Zay was a good example.

Time to throw is the most stupidest stat in all of football. It means less than zero in raw numbers and out of context.
