Vele doesn't catch that ball, lol. You WANT the DB to pull the guys arms down.

Yes he does, the DB hit Tmac in the arms after he had the ball in possession

So yall just watched 2 amazing catches from nobodies on the Saints to bail Trough out, yet THAT was a bad throw by Bryce? Come on man. Like I keep trying to tell yall, our WRs and TEs are not good. Yet.

4 is a good WR, but he is soft. Both of those things can be true. He’s also got a problem consistently attacking the football. He needs to go get the MFer

I know many are disappointed we got 3 instead of 7 there. But we are winning and get the ball after halftime. In a place that’s historically been really hard for us to pull out wins. 
 

Let’s finish this thing and get our hands on Tampa at home next weekend.

100% should have caught that?

Honestly, what in the world are you smoking?!?!?!

The defender punched the ball the split second it touched his hands, there isn't a player in the history of the NFL that would have been "expected" to catch that.

You know sometimes it's okay to just say the defender made a great play on the ball.

Your dude drops a pass or two per game because he’s still a bit too soft. It’s okay he’s a rookie he will figure it out. Be objective bro, it’s okay.

Ball hit Tmac in the chest he's gotta come down with it.

Shough getting bailed out by his receivers doesn't change the fact that Bryce threw that one a tad too short. 

The point is WRs make plays when they're targeted. If you only catch the ball when it's a perfect pass and you're wide open, then you're just a guy. TMac will tell you he should have brought that in.

The Saints had some amazing plays on their drive.  Next half they turn into turnovers.

how does he attack a ball behind him though?

come downhill and go get it. He waited for it forever and thats because bryce has a pop gun arm.

The DB came in right as the ball got there and pulled TMacs hands down as he was adjusting his body to catch a ball BEHIND HIM. Shough throws that in a better position so *shrugs*

It's fine, Bryce is good in other ways, but that was bad ball placement.

It makes it hard but that’s what receivers like McMillan are for. Big strong possession receivers make those kind of contested catches.

Big strong receivers work by putting the ball in a spot for them to “go get it.”  Throwing it behind them when they’re sprinting the opposite direction is the complete antithesis of that.

This wasn’t going to be an easy game. We still have the lead.

Nobody said easy but the Saints are simply not a very good football team.

The fact people are out here pooing posts over this is comical. Truth hurts.

He was streaking downfield, he didn't have a chance to wait or turn around for it
