It's about to be a Buccaneers vs Bills Super Bowl and I'm not even mad 

If so, I'm 100% all in on the Bills getting some poetic justice on that pussy in TB. But I still think the Packers can pull this off (Arians is a massive choker, no reason to think he won't again in this 2nd half), and I think the Chiefs beat the Bills.

Rodgers still made a trash throw. Yeah, holding could've been called but it wasn't and the ball was thrown as if the DB was the WR.

CB hold him the whole way.  Kind of hard to run a rout and separate when someone holds you like that.  Plus he ran a slant which always creates separation.

The hold didn't impact the INT at all. If the ball had been thrown out in front where it should've been the hold would've been obvious. Since it wasn't and it was behind the receiver leaving him to have to try to fight his way through the DB the hold was only visible from the correct angle. Rodgers threw a trash ball that was easily picked. It should've been a non-issue because there was a hold, but the trash throw made the hold much less obvious than it would've been otherwise.

    • That was always the fear, expectation, concern, etc, I had.  Someone showed a still shot from his pick last game and said it showed that the defender closed 3 yards on that ball in the last portion of its flight. I forget the number. 10 yards I think it said but that sounds extreme.  When guys are open by a step, any slowing down to wait for the ball lets the defender back into the play. That sort of stuff makes the margins so small… these NFL CBs are not slow.   It is a league that highly values foot speed; the 40 times and drill times are scrutinized down to the hundredth of a second when evaluating these players on both sides of the passing game. Receivers and defenders both.   My thing with his arm strength (or anyone’s) was always “why do you want to do that? Plus pay extra picks to put yourself in that situation?”. Asking for trouble.     I wish there was a way to measure velocity on the back half of a throw compared to when it left the hand. Or really get accurate reading of the flight time of a ball from the near hash to the sideline, 10 yards down the field. Because teams could use that info. I have always seen this as being a disadvantage with Bryce but it is beyond my ability to quantify it.   I think it would show what that arm strength is really about, a lot more than just measuring how much air can you put under it so it will fly as far as possible.
