Norman was drifting inside creating a ton of room on the outside. Dak throws the ball into a space that completely takes Norman out of play as a defender. Gallup doesn't see the ball immediately and takes a step or two towards the inside. Once Gallup realizes the trajectory of the ball, he adjusts too late. Ball falls incomplete.

Gallup has to know where dak is going to put that ball in that situation. Dak needs to know which path Gallup is going to take in that situation. They misread each other. It's happened a lot less this year as they get more in tune with each other.

So, who's to blame? Merton Hanks. I hate that chicken-neck guy.

I actually think he never caught Flight of the ball. The team thinks he lost it in the sun. Some people think the wind took it. I couldn't see the flag waving in the stadium. So I'm not blaming anybody it just was a very strange looking play the way you made it look like he had sight of it the entire way

Gallup never took any steps to the inside. In fact, he runs completely straight until later in the route where he drifts a couple steps to the outside.

Watch the twitter post from page 3 talking about Norman's odd coverage, and notice Gallup maintains the exact distance from the numbers most of the way and then gets closer to the sideline.

But you're wrong. If you watch that play and think the ball should have been thrown inside you're irrational and football ignorant

You're misinterpreting what "inside" means. It doesn't mean a post route. It should have been more inside from where it was thrown. It should have been in line with where Gallup was going.

No I'm not. No it shouldn't have been. If he throws it inside it's a pick Lombardi. Don't you think it's kind of funny how this is what yall have resorted to instead of eating crow? Yall devolved to bad takes on one of his ten incompletions on the season. Oh how the mighty have fallen. Can't wait to hear your hot takes on his MVP speech.

Kevinicus: He ended a sentence with a preposition.

A pick? No. Not anywhere even close. You are entirely wrong about this. Nobody is saying he should have thrown it anywhere in the vicinity of Norman. You are entirely misinterpreting what people are saying. You are acting like they're saying he should have ran a post and been inside the numbers. That is just false. This is a comprehension problem you are having.

Why is it impossible for you people to admit even one mistake? What is with your hero worship? You have many of his critics complimenting him on his good play...because they are objective and intellectually honest. However, you guys can't even admit to even the possibility of a flaw.

Norman's coverage on that play was inexplicably poor. You can't even tell what he's doing.

Look at :06 of this tweet that you yourself posted. Tell me how a throw more inside gets picked. Gallup is BEHIND Norman. The ball is going OVER Norman. Inside or Outside is not an issue in regards to Norman.

The throw made it more likely to be picked because it gave Norman a chance to close in on the spot. And it almost guarantees there is no TD, even if caught.

That looked like he lost it in the sun. He was adjusting to it and when it hit his hands it looked like he wasn’t expecting it.

You're right. He is. Of course the ball is already in the air by then but disregard that. Dak should have altered the space time contium to keep our trolls satisfied

You see, when playing QB in the NFL, that's what you do, throw the ball for where people will be.

Norman was beat. Gallup was going to be behind him no matter what. Norman had no shot at the ball unless it was thrown short/behind Gallup, or on an actual post (which nobody has come close to suggesting, contrary to your claims - in fact, the closest anyone came to this was someone who was blaming Gallup for not running a route more like Smith).

Nah you're wrong. Norman was beat Dak put the ball where only Gallup could catch it. Inside like your fellow trolls suggested would have been a pick. They know less about football than you and you've spent three years saying Dak would never be what he is right now. Its crazy to me that yall could spend years dogging on this guy and then start nitpicking this kind of stuff instead of admitting you were wrong. Completely. Embarrassingly so. Eat your crow.

I'm talkin one particular play, that just seems strange the entire motion. Of the receiver this isn't about blaming somebody. Something wasn't right did you actually watch the play

Since you are obviously extremely slow, let me provide a visual aid.

And btw, it's not us nitpicking. It's almost universal that we're saying Dak played well. However, some of you have hero worshiper syndrome and are completely unwilling to even entertain the idea that Dak is not God and can make a mistake.

It was a solid throw.

Not a perfect throw. But more than catchable
And Gallup should have made the adjustment to catch it. I am willing to bet that Gallup himself would say that he should be able to adjust to and catch that.

These things happen though on deep passes. Deep passes that are dropped in the bucket perfectly don’t happen that often. They typically do require some
Level of Adjustment by the receiver.

It’s not really a big deal. When your QB is throwing the ball that far downfield. Incompletions are going to happen.

Dak’s deep ball looks improved, although it wasn’t t a bad deep ball to begin with. The biggest key thus far is that he is being more aggressive and willing to throw the deep ball. Which is awesome.

That would be incomplete unless Gallup was 10 ft. tall. If you think the trolls have been the realistic side you're more clueless than I thought. The dude I first responded to used this as evidence that Dak always misses Gallup. That really happened. People that support Dak saying he's perfect? That never happened. See how the two sides aren't comparable?

Now about that crow

Could’ve been a better throw but very catchable. I expect Gallup to make that catch. Gallup did a terrible job of locating the football there.

It was hard for me to tell. Did Gallup just misread the Flight of the football. Yes it was a little bit behind to the outside. But watching Gallup run down the field I thought he had complete site of it. Only at the last moment did he realize he needed to stop and go backwards. Where he could have adjusted his speed throughout the pattern. It just didn't look smooth. Make no mistake about this I'm not blaming either or it was just a strange play

I saw it. Wasn’t the best pass. But Gallup didn’t do his part either. These are early season quips that get fixed as the season rolls on.

Allow the Dak haters to present this as totally Dak’s fault. And Dak lovers to point fingers at Gallup. It was close either way. When Gallup comes back healthy, and Dak continues the 2019-20 journey, it’ll get better.

That is all it boils down too.
