I voted for Clay....he had enough time and room (no-one was around him) to adjust to the ball...I was gonna go 95/5 ?

Right, like I said.

As others said, don’t matter good pass or bad pass. It’s 100% on Clay. Been invisible all season, against your former team, WIDE OPEN.. You catch that ball. 7 million reasons you can make that one dang catch. 

And as others have said, to even get that throw off is a win for Allen. That’s #1 on the sports center top 10 if clay just grabs the ball and doesn’t trip on his own feet. 

Clay has choked multiple times in his tenure here. He should be gone ASAP. He brings nothing to the team.

Really I think it was both.  Not the best pass, but there's dudes out there that would have pulled it off.

 

That's putting it mildly. I don't think there are many dudes who wouldn't have pulled it off. Hell, 95 times + out of 100, Clay catches that.

This.

 

Allen bails the pocket way to soon. He created the chaos of that play and nearly pulled it off. 

 

EVERY receiver ran a deep pattern. He knew that. If he stood in the pocket one more second it would have collapsed on him before he threw. People are arguing that it was a poorly designed play since they really only needed the 11 yards and not a TD, but there would not have been a WR or TE open if he stayed in the pocket a little longer.

Watching him get away from the rush and then finding out nobody was covering a Bill in the EZ as the TV view panned out was great

 

and then....

I'm not going to vote because the answer is yes to both though to term it a "bad pass" doesn't do justice to what Allen had to do to even have an opportunity to heave the ball.

 

Hands of clay, head of stone should have worked his way back to his QB when he saw him running for his life. If he does it's an easy catch.

 

95% on Clay

You put the ball up under pressure to a receiver that is wide open and he chokes the game away.

 

I think Croom or Thomas make that catch. 

 

Definitely a DROP :(

The authority at NFL.com has spoken.

 

 

he missed a wide open clay. He just missed him. That simple. Obviously. NFL.com says.

I am not sure if you are being sarcastic but using the nfl.com writers as an authority is not usually a good idea.

Both: poor pass on the run, but still should have been caught.  He made a great play to get away, but needed to take the time that he bought to make a semi-accurate throw.  Clay was WIDE open and, yes, Allen was running the other direction, but if he’d have set his feet, he could have made a very good throw.

 

i *hope* that this is a hangover from playing on a very under-talented Wyoming team (and a bottom 5 NFL offense), but he NEEDS to clean up the ducks he is throwing.  Some of that will come if they can put a good OL in front of him and some will come with good NFL receivers, but he can’t have 10% ducks and succeed in the league.

I do not mean this against you personally but i am curious how a ball that is thrown 40+ yards and the reciever gets both hand on is a bad throw- it was not perfect but it was certainly catchable, which makes it a good throw in my book.

Like the old football saying goes "if you can touch it, you can catch it". TBH it doesn't even look that hard to do. Clay just trips on his way back to the ball and half dives at it. He should have caught it right it in the breadbasket. It wasn't a great throw but there was nobody around Clay to distract him. He just dropped it.

Scrambling, offset feet, arcoss the feild, and a pretty deep pass. Ya it was an ugly ball but If you watch clay judged it wrong, had plenty of time to come up make the easy catch and walk into the end zone. The only thing I can think is when the game is almost over and it's on the line, maybe clay was thinking of staying in the end zone instead of coming back to the ball.
