re: Man our 2024 season sure was wild

WG, be glad to.

I guess you can’t read so this will be my last time commenting on this. I posted 3 different interceptions he threw, and you’ve only watched the first one or you watched all three and just have no comment on the other two. And every single one of them there was more than one defender around the receiver he was throwing to and that receiver didn’t have a chance to make a play on the ball. The ball didn’t hit anyone’s hands or take any crazy bounces at the line of scrimmage. Terrible, bad, not good, awful, whatever word you like. And I get it that you have a hard on for Beck but acting like he never made mistakes is wild

Terrible and awful are not the same as bad or not good. You said terrible. I asked you to defend that and you gave 3 examples. I am covering them 1 at a time. After discussion of first one, I asked you again if it was a “terrible read”. You squirmed, deflected, and questioned the question. Now you are spreading out the scope of your definition. So, I ask you again, yes or no, was example 1 a “terrible read”.


On the “double coverage” thing. In football, you throw into windows a lot of the time. Both vertical and horizontal. There are many times when there are 2 or even 3 defenders in the area. If the play is successful, no one says “he threw into double coverage”. When a defender, like in example 1, is running to a spot from underneath and another defender is in trail, the pass, being thrown to a window over and past the defender in trail. What got him was the other defender happened to be running, from underneath, to the spot where the ball was being thrown. In a case like this, the other defender in trail wasn’t making a play on the ball. The issue was the defender from underneath just happened to be running to the spot in the grass where the ball was placed. This is not excusing his read. It was a win by the DC and the defense and a missed read by the QB. If you don’t want our QBs to throw the ball into windows where 2 defenders are in the area, enjoy the Wishbone or Wing T.

You are correct I don’t think our QBs should throw into “windows” that Patrick Mahomes couldn’t fit a ball into.

And that ball was intercepted before it hit that window

peter can you please take a look at the first two ints from florida? I watched that game yesterday and they were...not good. The first one in particular. Woud like to hear your insight.

I’m watching it now. Noted the very small window he put it in on the slant to Bell on the FG scoring drive. I think some people would have said that was double coverage (SIC)

The first INT was him trying to do too much and not seeing the dude on Etienne drop back into the passing lane. Also, didn’t look like his feet were set to get more zing on the pass. Should have thrown it away. In context, the offense was sputtering and he tried to make something happen. He didnt see the underneath guy break off Etienne.

2nd one was a mechanics int. He had a dude coming at him low and threw off back foot trying to put the ball over the dude who intercepted it and made a bad throw. If he steps into it and puts it in front of Bell there is no one on the inside. That is not an easy throw and a lot harder when you don’t step into it. O line gets some blame, but Beck takes most for trying to back foot a ball and not getting enough on it.
