big players make big plays in big games

I mean, add CMC and Samuel in this game and it was quite possibly a win. 

Definitely.

Heck, even having Davis healthy all game would have been something.

Really? Remove two big playmakers from any offense in the league. Chances are they look pretty fragile. 

If Davis wasn't gassed/injured that would have helped a poo ton. We were basically one dimensional for a whole half.

Teddy did excellent given the situation, except for the last play which was a horrible read on his part. 

If we had a steady back on that last 4th down, it would have been an easy first. We just gotta learn to finish.

I have been one of DJs most vocal supporters here. So yeah on that play I wouldn't blame DJ or Robby. Robby was struggling against fuller and couldn't consistently get separation against him and he deserves critisims too. 

However one WR had 3 drops while the other had one. 

He in no way, shape or form had 3 drops. You’re calling every incompletion a drop. If it takes a superhuman effort to touch the ball, it’s not a drop. Or, look at it this way: if Robby did that, would you call it a drop? No, you’d say it was a bad throw.

No one and I mean No one has replaced SMITTY!!!

Smitty himself disagrees.

(but I'm not sure he's right)

Even Davis fumbled the ball today on our side of the field putting us in horrible positioning defensively.

DJ had 2 critical drops outside the 4th and 2 play that I remember.

They are counting the plays where he was sexually harassed in the end zone, the one where he got a pass interference call setting up a TD and then the one he was so wide open Teddy poo a brick and threw a terrible pass his way.

In baseball, if a ball is bouncing wildly to the shortstop and he can’t get ahold of it in time to make a throw, it is not considered an error. I apply the same logic to a wide receiver.

That play looked like a broken route or a misthrow - maybe Teddy was rushed. I'll have to catch the replay.

I place the blame on Teddy since he ultimately was throwing the ball, but the way Moore was contorting his body, I wondered if he was running the wrong route.

Maybe that explains a lot of teddy’s throws this year. Lack of off season. It happens a lot, teddy throws behind or wrong side and wr’s have to contort to make the catch. I see that a few times a game. Conversely, maybe teddy just isn’t accurate. Which is supported by poor placement on passes not described above. Though admittedly the two games prior to this one that was getting a lot better.

That's why I said excluding the 4th and 2.  The endzone throw was perfect. He dropped another great ball too, though I'd have to look at the play by play to pull it out for you.

None the less, DJ made some great plays when he needed to.

If we aren’t playing Bottom Feeders expect this type of result almost every time.

Teddy wasn’t about to get killed. DJ was wide open. Teddy could have and should have thrown a much better ball than that. It’s still early in the season and he could still ball out but this wasn’t a good Teddy game. And he sealed the game with the next INT on a ball he had no business throwing.

Teddy is clearly throwing to places on the field more often than not.  That is why I think it is perhaps a route issue on that throw.  Yes, he has bad throws occasionally, and that may have been one.  But I'd like to see that replay because usually his bad throws are *deep*, and that was not a deep pass.

There were very fine people on both sides of the 4th down. DJ could have nabbed it but Teddy made a poor throw.

Absolutely no excuse for the final INT though. That was awful. Probably learned that from Brees.

DJ had it in his pouch...
