MM deep throws

[SorthNarolina]

I thought that was an illegal formation penalty?

purty sure it was. Can't remember who. That's the second time Moore has made a 2nd effort catch like that.

You're right; it was on Petitti for illegal formation.

Ahh, must have been thinking of another play. Either way, false starts and illegal formation penalties should not happen.

At least Gross shaped up from last game

Especially illegal formation. I can handle a few false starts and holds, but illegal formation and something like offensive pass interface, inelligible downfield, etc. shouldn't happen.

calling an offensively lineman for ineligible down field on a play where Clausen threw the ball away was a head scratcher.

I thought the officials called the game a little "off" if you will but whatever. I'll spare you all my HBO conspiracy theories. lol

Well, that one fumble recovery where the guy was on someones back (was that Beason?) was probably not a fumble (pretty sure he had already landed then it was stripped), but the cameras couldn't even see the ball, so I think we got lucky on that one.

Judging by the reaction time of the Jets players I think they called the fumble wrong too. They didn't react until they guy was down. But you couldn't see anything so it held up.

Exactly.

But, it doesn't matter if he was down or not. They called it a fumble, so it was a fumble. 89. Bottom line.

A lot of people think preseason is unnecessary in almost every aspect of the game, but the truth is that situations like this one are exactly why the quality of football improves when the games start to count.

In the regular season, those false starts and illegal formations will be at a minimum. In the regular season, by the time we get there, LaFell or "LaFall", as he was called all night, will have seen that play enough to make him sick and will know what to do next time he gets a jump ball. Same for the muffed punts.

Matt Moore has no business throwing a ball that long anyways, IMO. He just doesn't have the arm for it. Watching Clausen throw after watching Moore throw is like comparing a pea shooter to a shotgun. Not saying that makes him a better QB, but let Clausen take those snaps in a heave ho situation. Or even Cantwell, who beats them all in distance and velocity.

I remember thinking during this game: "This is pre-season for officials, I guess, too."

Idk if I agree with all of that.

Matt Moore hooked up with Smitty a couple of times down field on very well-placed balls late last season.

Actually, he did a pretty good job on that pass (IMO, obviously). It was pretty accurate considering the distance. I think LaFell could've been in a better position for that catch.

[...] beats them all in distance and velocity.

Nah, I got that, bruh.
