so on this he's clearly way late with the throw...ball should have been out already...not sure what happens if his arm isn't hit but it would have been a contested catch for sure...actually he may not even have seen Peters here
Is that Robinson or Conley to the left side of the formation?
I actually thought upon first watch that he was going to the far side of the field with the ball and there was enough contact to his arm that he just never got it through his body and it sailed to his right. I think he was trying to go to his left and catch that WR crossing underneath the safety (with the expectation that the deep post would draw the middle defender away.
That said - upon looking at it, there was just nothing there. Even if he gets it to his left, the trail DB is baiting him and has an easy play on the ball. Shit...Mahomes could've run for 20 there. They've got 6 guys in coverage for 3 people and a spy over the top of Hunt who's pulled out wide and completely emptied the box. If he tucks it and gets around the RT, he's to the 35 fairly easily.
Lord, Donald even took the play off. The Rams effectively rushed 3 guys against our 6 and somehow Kelce ends up on an island. Just so much terrible in that play. Bad protection calls, bad play call, bad decision by Mahomes. Just bad all around. I originally chalked that up to Kelce getting beat and ruining an otherwise excellent play but that thing is just dogshit all around.

And yet that's twice now he's tried throwing it off his back leg. It should've cost us the ballgame against Denver last season and it did against LAR.
He's gotta fuck stop that. Nobody throws it 60 yards off his back foot. He put 60 on the heave to Hill and he didn't exactly limp wrist that one out there - he sure looked to put his ass into it.
"He could make it if he just stepped into it...." is the same excuse you made when he tried it to Harris against Denver and dammit that's not okay. There's not a clean pocket there and he's rolling out. He's gotta know better. Now that one doesn't really matter because hell - we had 20 seconds and no timeouts; it was time for a prayer either way. But the fact that he made that exact same mistake a 2nd time is a bit alarming. [Reply]

Cover 2 deep?
You can see he has deep flat and then passes the receiver into the double-team. I think that was designed. He looks right to the help he has over the top and can easily see the trail man as well.
He's probably just settling into that zone waiting for a possible crossing route when he sees the hit and the ball fluttering out.
Shit - take 6 guys off this board and we may have been able to defend that play. There's just no chance for that to have worked at all and it's shockingly vanilla in the route concepts. What the hell was Andy going for there?
It's so bad that I almost think there had to be a blown route somewhere. Maybe what I think is supposed to be a deep post was actually an in-cut? I don't know; there's just no way for that play to have worked. [Reply]
Hill made an insane catch on that. Seeing it live I was fairly sure he was going to be juggling it OOB. But then they showed the replay and I was like holy crap.
He's our only receiver that I have 100% faith in to make the toughest catches in the biggest moments. Maybe Hunt as well. Kelce I have like 90% faith in. Conley, Watkins 80%. Robinson 75%. Harris -1000%. [Reply]
