"Forum of whining fans, most of whom never played football, cries and stomps foot over loss."

 

ok computer tough guy. take your snarky comments elsewhere. This is a weekly funny thing. No one is crying and stomping their feet. This is a forum to discuss the game. Don't like it, leave.

 

Why was it not Peterman throwing me this ball?

 

winner.!

This is a young man that will have better days. Can't help but think if the offense was in any kind of a rythem yesterday he catches that pass. Hard to ask a guy (even if his name was Watkins or Boldin) to make that adjustment on that pass in that situation.

I can't see the number on my jersey..... Is it 11 or 13? Screw it, I don't know why I'm so serious anyway.

Watkins or Boldin would have known where the ball was prior to the last possible split second. Consequently, their play on the ball wouldn't have been clumsy & panicked.

Their adjustment would have been effortless and the catch would have looked easy.

And, yes, Zay Jones will have many better days......

Or, Watkins would have already twisted an ankle and Boldin is so slow now he would still be near the line of scrimmage.

 

I can speculate as well.

Hey - you can call it speculation if you want, but a better name is elementary-level play for a receiver in the NFL. Not that I want to pick on Jones, who has a fine career in front of him, but he looked pretty bad on that play. His route was wrong, his ball awareness was non-existent, and his play on the pass was terrible. Need some help? Here's one hint : If you run forty or fifty yards to catch a pass, it's pretty typical to get your head back to read how the ball is coming in. Your typical NFL receiver does that every deep route he runs. Jones didn't. Another hint? If you do a stutter-step, stop, leap straight-up and the ball grazes thru your hands, then it's a sure bet you could have collected it right off your shoulder if you ran it straight thru. No one has settled where the route was supposed to go, but if it was back pylon, Taylor's throw was perfect and Jones' route absolutely hideous. If it was front pylon, then Jones' route was off a bit to the outside, and Taylor's pass off a bit to the inside. The only difference is Taylor's pass led the play away from the cornerback & into the end zone. Jones' route was into coverage and out of bounds. In short, Taylor threw to a point in space, and expected his receiver to show entry-grade skill playing the ball. It was only one play from a rookie still learning, but Jones failed.
