I remember that and I agree it shows Hardman's most needed area for growth. He just doesn't operate comfortably in the offense like the other players. Whereas Kelce and Hill anticipate openings and where Pat wants to go, Mecole often does the opposite. During that play in the fourth, Pat wanted Hardman to come back while Hardman cut towards the sideline. I hope one more year in the offense means Mecole takes that stereotypical third year WR breakout. [Reply]

There was another throw that was crazy too. I can't remember when it was but it was a fucking laser to Hill. I believe it was one of the free plays from an offsides call. Pat planted his back foot, reached to his hip and fucking fired a strike. Ball had to be moving like 70+ MPH.. but it bounced into the air and fell incomplete so no one will remember it.
Wilson would have the horsepower, but he would rainbow it and hit the Oculus above them instead. [Reply]

He had to overcome a sieve of an o-line and numerous boneheaded penalties. He still found a way to be superman and save our asses.
He's the best player on the planet, and performances like today prove it more than the 400 yard 4 TD games do imo.
Everything was going against him today and it didn't matter. He STILL came through and won the game.
Incredible.
Agreed. Plus, the chargers and 49ers for whatever reason seem to have a formula that frustrates us on defense more than others. Most teams won't run that scheme and no other team will have a bosa to deal with. [Reply]
