WEEDEN'S PERFORMANCE
We know Weeden had a poor game. Watching the coaches film only confirmed it. Weeden predetermined his reads at the line of scrimmage and forced throws into coverage. This also caused him to leave plays on the field. There were times, if he had just scanned the field, he would have had an open receiver for a medium or deep pass. Granted, Arizona probably has the best tandem of man corners in the NFL in Peterson and Cromartie but there were opportunities for plays to be made and Weeden couldn't deliver. I have to mention that Bryant didn't help the cause with a couple of drops.
There were quite a few examples I could include but these two plays illustrate everything about Weeden and his performance.
Weeden tries to connect with Bryant and misses. He ignores the man beater route to his left. Beasley runs across the field wide open for the first down. Weeden predetermined his read and forced the throw into Bryant. I'm sure they looked over that play on the sidelines after and saw Beasley wide open. Would they (Weeden) learn from their mistake?
If you didn't notice right off the bat, it's the same play call with the same formation and personnel. As you can see Weeden again ignores the man beater route and again Beasley is open. Instead, Weeden tries to force the pass to Witten which was easily picked off. That interception essentially sealed the game for Arizona.
