That was an awesome throw by Hasselbeck. How did he fit that ball in there?

Scandrick had excellent coverage on the play. I couldn't believe the ball squeezed in there when I saw it the first time and then again on replay.


BTW, I am watching NFL Network right now.....and they are doing the Red Zone Rewind or whatever it is called. They just showed the play and once again, I am in awe of the accuracy of the throw.

May have been an accurate throw, but it was a poor decision.

I am of the opinion that it is only a poor decision if it fails. Since it resulted in a TD, the risky decision was worth it.

I will say this, if Scandrick gets his eyes on the ball a split second sooner, it might have been an INT or at least a pass defended

You determine whether it was a poor decision at the time the decision is made. Not based on the results.

probably more of a desperation throw, but i agree 1/2 a second sooner and scandrick breaks it up. 1 second sooner and its an int.

I'm still wondering how Scandrick didn't do stop that play. He was right there on him and must have through it wasn't gonna be coming his way.

i thought it was gonna get picked but Scandrick was too late to look for the ball.

Scandrick allowed the pass to be completed like that on purpose. He wants McNabb to think he can pull off the same type of pass using his Jedi mind tricks learned from The David Buehler. This weekend though, Scandrick will take it to the house.

Not even in his dreams could Mcnabb throw a pass that accurate

Worked out well simply cause Scandrick didn't look for the ball quite quick enough. Had he looked a little quicker then he would have picked that ball. He'll get his head around quicker, I believe, moving forward. I don't think too many people, in the future, will try testing him in that tight of coverage once he starts turning that head quicker and picking those.

I agree. It was a great throw and the timing was perfect. Sometimes the other guys make a play and you tip your hat to them.

Brees has been doing that with his receivers all year. If you miss, noone can catch it. I really expected Hamlin to be on top of that - then I remembered that he's Hamlin. Of course I was watching it with Superfan online so maybe he was just somewhere else doing his job.

He was. I can't tell if you're making fun of the people that ignorantly blame Hamlin all the time or if you're just ignorantly blaming Hamlin.

Sensabaugh was the safety on that side of the field. To his defense, there were two receivers running deep routes on that side of the field, however.
