Allen's Last Pass (12/2): Bad Pass or Drop?

[Big Turk]

It could have been a better throw but it was good enough to catch...

 

I think Allen could have stopped and set his feet and probably would have if he realized he had more time but in the heat of the moment its hard to process all that stuff...

 

Allen said postgane he didn't like the way it felt coming out of his hand and he also took responsibility on the Jones throw saying it was Cover 0 and Jones was 100% correct in continuing to run and he threw it as if he was going to sit down.

I'd argue that Clay was THE Whaley special. A Billion dollars over a million years for an average at best TE.

 

Worst GM ever.

The pass wasn't the greatest, but it was certainly a catchable ball. Clay dropped a TD and any hope we may have had left this season along with it.

I blame Clay only because he was trying to catch it in the endzone when all he had to do was catch it even if he ran out to the 2, still a first down with 40 odd seconds left.

Wasn't the best throw but it didn't have to be.  Clay was wide open.  Robbed Allen of a prime entry in his (hopefully) extensive career highlight reel.

100% drop the ball could have been thrown a bit further but it was still catchable ..wrs/tes make that catch all the time 

[kbarrettb]

Both

[Kelly the Dog]

I think it's about 60-40 on Clay. Maybe 55-45. He has to make that catch.

Just catch the ball. He could have rolled over into the endzone, there was no one near him. If it hits you in the hands you have to make that catch. Hell I would have been OK if he would have gotten up and walked around a bit before going in the endzone just to take some time off the clock. Not a great throw, but not an awful throw at all.

Considering Allen was scrambling around trying to extend a play, tossed the ball across the field (well, close to it), and Clay was standing there tracking the ball... I am going with a dropped pass.

Shold Clay have caught the ball?  Or was it just a bad pass?

 

In his postgame, Clay said it was a good ball and he just didn’t come down with it.

he didn't even have to score, he needed to catch the ball to convert 4th and 11.

it was a catchable ball, so it was a drop

Nope that would get ugly!

Could have been caught is more like it. 

 

You’re way too generous.  Look at the balls Thielen and Diggs and Nelson and Woods and so on routinely take home

The throw was wobbly, but you expect an NFL receiver to get that.  It was good enough and he had no one around - make a play for your QB.

I don't know how do you type out the slipping on a banana peel sound effect?
