Opportunistic is the better word. They were slicing the D all game. Rams punted the ball once or twice.

Bryce deserves criticism when he doesn’t play well. Just because he’s criticized doesn’t mean we’re haters. Should we start calling everyone a Nick Scott hater?

one thing I have noticed is that Bryce’s deep passes have improved in accuracy. Before the WRs would have no shot of catching the ball because they were overthrown or thrown out of bounds. Props there because that’s what we need. 

The announcers twice today commented on his throwing form,  proper footwork, almost as if they know the issues with him

We just beat the best team in the nfl and some of yall still throwing personal shots and obsessively hating on our qb still. 

He can’t throw the ball downfield? He’s proved yall wrong over and over. Stay mad haters, he’s gonna be here for years to come

Personal shots lol.

Eh, feels more like a chicken or egg discussion to me.

Have his downfield throws actually improved or is it that they only allow him to throw it downfield in very specific and few situations to where he can't be making bad throws?

We don't ever let him just rip it downfield and put it into tight windows or true deep ball shots.  They only let him throw it more than 10 yards downfield when they know the player will/should be running open and he's able to place it where it needs to be.

I genuinely don't think you know what it means to "throw a dot" in football terms.

Here's a hint, it's not a 15 yard lofted pass where a player runs underneath it to catch it in stride and continue running.

"throwing a dot" can be attributed to numerous throws, but not those.  It's throwing a perfect touch pass high and outside on the sideline where a WR is the only one who can make the catch and make a toe tap to complete it.  It's where a QB throws a 40-50 yard pass into a perfect spot for the WR to make the catch.

Those TD's were well thrown balls, I'm not saying he didn't make a good pass.  But in no world were they "dots" like you seem to want to call them.  They wouldn't even be considered "dots" if they were thrown in a HS game, sorry, but just the way it is.

Buddy. Your extremely narrow definition of ‘dot’ isn’t the same as everyone else’s. It’s just yours. Do you think that pass on 4th down was 15 yards? How about leading him upfield when your boy was covered, running horizontally. The ball couldn’t have been thrown better. It was a dot.

Didn’t watch the game but I saw that Brees called the game as well. He knows a thing or two about passing because he’s something of a quarterback himself.

100% he absolutely deserves criticism when he plays poorly. Which he does fairly often.

But even when he does play well most on here wanna keep ripping him and giving the credit to anyone but him. When the team plays poorly all the blame goes to him, when we play well he gets none of the credit

Multiple people have said in this thread how those weren't dots, but sure, it's just me who can't see it.

Nobody is bashing the throw like you seem to think we're doing, we're just pointing out that you're trying to call it something that it just wasn't.

I really hope people aren’t counting his dump off to chubba for a TD as slinging darts. I saw someone credit him for a 30+ yard throw bc of it. 

Oh, they are. 
And the sad part is they have to make it personal. Can’t state their opinion, express their approval, joy, etc. and leave it there, it has to have that dig in there.

I’d say in all our wins this year, except ATL, he had to show up in certain times. Hes shown he possesses a clutch gene, but he’s wildly inconsistent. I don’t know what it is and how to coach him on being more consistent, but we have a good team that can win with him. I’m all for replacing him with better talent, but I don’t want to replace him just to replace him.
