Keep going.

I dare you.

LOL. ok then

Why not? It's easy enough after all.

Nate Wiggins and George Pickens:

Ball release:

Position of ball in relation to ground:

Can Nate Wiggins negate his backward momentum by planting his back foot and jump the ball's path if the pass was aimed at or just in front of the pylon?

You hater, I guess you've never choked when the pressure was on?

I would sign up and post the stills but it seems like you have made up your mind.

The fact of the matter is from the time the throw started until the time the ball was 5 feet out of his hand, there was no separation, Pickens was never looking at Dak, and the defender was locked in on Dak. If your argument is that Pickens came open after the throw, I agree. After the ball left his hand, there was separation, though one could argue that it was the result of a push off by Pickens.

The reality is he was never open until after the throw was made. Sure Dak could thrown it and trust that Pickens would get separation but that’s a different argument. And again if I were a Ravens fan, I would be screaming that Pickens pushed off to get the separation.

As far as buying more time, maybe he could have, we will never know. But if you look at the first still posted when his arm is fully cocked, you can see Jones foot coming down. The next still at release (a fraction of a second later), Jones foot is practically on Dak’s. In the next still when the ball is around 10 feet out of his hand, Jones and the defender are on top of Dak. Without scrambling, I’m not sure how much time he could have bought.

You hater,

Proper etiquette demands, "Mister Hater." Not "You." Not "Mr." And capitalize the "H."

I guess you've never choked when the pressure was on?

We brought our newborn daughter home from the hospital. She pooped for the first time. I volunteered to change her diaper. It was my first time. Brand new dad. I thought I would treasure the moment always.

I chickened out and asked my wife to do it instead. She told me not to worry about it and said there would be plenty more diaper changes to come--with bigger loads to dispose of.

 

[Runwildboys]

the coach said he called for the play. should dak gone rouge?

In that case, yes. But I don't think Schotty meant to just automatically throw it away, even if he had an open man.

 

[Runwildboys]

is this open? right as the arm is moving forward. the DB had leverage and looking back at the QB waiting for the throw

the ball is in the air at this point, the DB still has leverage and looking back at the QB...

Yes, for that route, that's open. Pickens is the only one who could have gotten to it.

I did, not sure what else is there to see?

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

In that case, yes. But I don't think Schotty meant to just automatically throw it away, even if he had an open man.

you don't think, vs. what he said and subsequent comments from players and everything else we heard


I just hate the idea to begin with. that should have never entered his mind. you have a veteran QB, good WRs, then you go for it, and he knows better than to throw it and get it picked off.

regardless, the game was tied. we should have been able to go to overtime with 7 seconds to go. ST coach screwed up. parker screwed up. it was three screw ups one after another.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

Yes, for that route, that's open. Pickens is the only one who could have gotten to it.

I tend to disagree. because pickens wasn't looking at the QB. the DB was looking back at the QB, the whole time watching for the throw and had pickens locked up.he could have easily stepped in front to either break the pass and worst case scenario pick it off and run it back.

I am not saying, the play call was right, Schotty should have never called that. we had to at least try something.
the whole coaching staff had three brain farrts one after another. this play call, the subsequent kick off (why out of the endzone and not in play to force them to run it back and waste clock) and then parker rushing 6, dropping 5...and the stupidity of the players tackling him. if he fell to the ground, just leave him be... if not touched, the clock keeps running.

we are a stupid team, top down.

Dak missed a wide open Pickens. Better quarterbacks would have hit him.

There's your fact, Skippy.

You don’t have to fabricate what happened. Pickens was covered when the ball was thrown. And almost immediately after the ball was thrown, Pickens pushed off the DB and was open as the ball was headed towards the stands.

You may argue that Dak could have waited another second but that is a different discussion.

It's a simple throw to the pylon. Pickens has inside position toward it, and he's not giving up an interception there. You don't throw it to the chirro vendor.

Nothing to fabricate. He panicked.

How many wide open receivers did Dak miss against the Texans? I think that FSACT comes into play here.

The first half? Plenty.

 

[Spottswoode]

There is admittedly a little separation in that still. I caught the screen grab a split second before this one which was tighter. And every still after that will show even more separation because the defenders momentum was going backwards. The homer in me likes that there was no call. But the impartial me says that Pickens probably pushed off to get the separation.
