watch this and you might get a sense that mccarthly was not the problem in the first half....

Good stuff. Amazing how small things can mess up a play like the timing of a man in motion. And he shows why it messed up things. Also never noticed an OL stepped on JJM's foot while throwing one of his TD passes. Or that Oliver tripped over the RG who was being pushed back during the failed two-point conversion (not suggesting Oliver would have made the conversion).
For sure. It didnt seem from the breakdown, that much of the ineffectivess was deer in the headlight indecisiveness. In fact, there were some solid non-throws … compared to Darnold’s freezing up non-throws with WRs running open. Or worse, looping backwards in gigantic circles out of pocket. I’ll take the McCarthy 2 yd trip and flip over that any day.
To my eye, the pick 6 was a bad decision … I know Jefferson is trying to cover that … regardless, its encouraging to field a young dude with his head in a game. The rookie mistakes will continue but, hopefully, the jittery confounding veteran meltdown stuff, the throwing short of the sticks to end the game / basic survival stuff - will be left in the past.
