Dang if he led him just a little that would have been six

Bryce throwing blind slants in the redzone from the pocket is definitely high risk gambling

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

Correct. No defending that

[sonburst4]

It was a B- throw and a B- catch attempt.  It happens.  Nothing to see here.

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.

The Saints have a lot of fight. They ain't laying down for any team right now.

How does he haul it in? The ball was thrown behind a bit and allowed the defender to close... That's a ball placement issue and a corner playing through the play instead of giving up

You don't remember seeing McMillan bring in off target passes earlier in the year? 

(I sure do)

Guys like Newton, Favre and others have "general vicinity" accuracy. The best receivers deal with it, and I put McMillan in that category.

He's just a little down right now.

If we can't pop them in the mouth we don't deserve the division or a playoff spot.

When need a pass rush nic hit that wall . Where is princely 

[Zaximus]

Let’s not forget that stupid play call to Sanders.  I feel I have seen that play like 5 times this year to him and it sucks every time.

In the chest you say?

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. 

They really can both be true. Throwing a good pass was the easier play to make between the two. I just have higher expectation for Tmac than Bryce and would love to see him make those physical contested catches as a 220 lb 6’5 receiver.

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

If you think Bryce is throwing better balls than Shough, you are bias. Shough is throwing ropes to spots on his receiver can make a play on the ball. Marino/Bledsoe type throws

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. 

Not catching a pass is NOT the same thing as dropping it

I will bet you my entire life savings that isn't ruled a drop, and you know why?  Because it wasn't, it was a bad pass first and foremost, but even putting that completely aside, it was a great play by the DB to break it up, as if he hadn't punched the ball the second it touched his hands, then it would have been a TD.

You telling me to be objective while saying he dropped that is downright comical.

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.

I was literally about to post something similar.  This is spot on. The confusion is fake.
