That’s in the field of play and going to the ground. If there is movement as his foot lifts...it would be incomplete. But there wasn’t. The only question was did he have control before the one foot came off the ground. It was close and the call in the field stood (as it should have). Had they first called it incomplete...decent chance that would have stood too. Buta chance that it’s overturned to complete.
While this is certainly true Hundley was not the reason the Packers lost yesterday.
End of the day, this team either isn't good enough to win with Hundley, or Hundley isn't good enough to win with this team. Doesn't matter. McCarthy is exposed. He's Aaron Rodgers' caddy, nothing more.
All of that may be true. I'm just saying that getting 250+ yards, 3 TDs and 0 picks on the road against a playoff team is as good as you're going to get from a backup QB.
Did you see how the 250 yards and 3 TDs happened? Two of the TDs were basically broken plays.
They still counted, right? QBs like Aaron Rodgers and Ben Roethlisberger make a living on turning broken plays into TDs. I can't believe that anyone would be complaining about Hundley's play last night.
Defense and McCarthy. I'm not normally one to pile on McCarthy, but the 57 yard FG was idiotic, and put the defense in a bad spot. Also, when you get the ball back with 90 seconds to go in the game, scoring or OT should be the only outcomes. No way Pitt should get the ball back with any time left.
Agreed on both count. The 57 yard FG attempt was beyond stupid, especially at Heinz Field
I wonder what Crosby's line was during warm ups. Did they exceed it on that failed try?
I don't even care what he did in warm-ups. That place is notoriously difficult to kick in. There was little reason to believe Mason would make that kick.
Agreed...I think McCarthy called an ok game. The problems where when Pitt starting bringing pressure...they didn't have a good answer for a couple of drives. I don't think thats on Hundley but on McCarthy...and that foolish idea to try that long FG.
Agreed on both...whether that last part was coaching or Williams just being bad and running out of bounds there.
I do agree that McCarthy is riding the coattails of Rodgers. He should probably be replaced if they find someone they think can do better. GM as well. Rodgers is doing what Peyton used to, make the FO and Coaching staff appear better than they really are. It's easy to win lots of games with an All-Pro (except for the Colts with Luck).
Actually I was thinking that in warm ups he likely had established an outside range of something less than that and then McCarthy likely ignored that range, though I have no way of knowing that for sure.
What do I have to do with the fact you hate Jamaal Wiliams? LOL.
He bobbled the ball. Look im not defending the idiocy of NFL catch rules these days, but both the Dez catch and the Seferian-Jenkins catch there are frames you can point to where control is in question. There isnt a single moment where AB bobbles or double clutches that ball.
