Stephen Gilmore pick

[RonWashington]

That has to be totally on Gallup . As a receiver you have to stay upright in order to catch the ball and in a storied career in NE now Indy Gilmore probably has not had an easier interception.

You could tell from Daks body language after the play it was three letters the first one is W I’ll leave the guessing as to the other 2.

When Cooper was here it was almost like you had to force the ball early into his hands keep him involved , interested . With 88 13 and Noah Brown it’s whoever is open distribute the passes then you have the three horsemen at TE . I’m liking this late season passing game .

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

Lool, smh.

There has literally never been an interception that was Dak’s fault.

…or so I’m told.

 

[DallasDW00ds0n]

I think they’re both guilty

It wasn't Gallup's fault. Gilmore jammed him up downfield. Should have been called illegal contact. Can't expect receivers to be able to fight through all contact.

Wasn't Dak's fault, either. He threw it to where Gallup was heading, Gallup just got knocked off the route.

So either it was bad officiating (which I think it was) or a really good play by Gilmore to disrupt the receiver without drawing a penalty.

 

[Risen Star]

And I think the QB just sucks.

 

[OGCowboy]

He might’ve gotten away with a little bit but not enough for a flag...overall Gilmore made an excellent play

 

[Word Mofo]

Dak shouldn’t have thrown any balls in Gilmore’s direction. IIRC they had a corner out that game. Why mess around throwing against an all-pro

Collinsworth who played the position last I checked after the play …” the receiver has to be able to fight through that “ …

 

[RonWashington]

A QB has to release the ball obviously well in advance once the receivers on the ground it’s good night ….tip the waiter and hope the Gilmores send a warm Xmas greeting .

Sure Gallup needs to stay on his feet but totally on Gallup.....naw, hell no.

How about not throwing it to where Gilmore has leverage? Dak also put one a mile behind Ceedee that was a bump ball (just short of an interception). And on another play, Gilmore jumped a route with the ball bouncing off his chest. No excuses, Dak's good but on those plays he's got to do better.

Collinsworth who played the position last I checked after the play …” the receiver has to be able to fight through that “ …

Collinsworth says a lot of things that are reactionary to the moment. Doesn't mean that he's correct. Gilmore moved directly into Gallup and gave him a two-hand jolt. Not too many receivers are going to be able to fight through that. I think the officials didn't penalize him because he was "holding his ground," but the replay shows that he made contact with Gallup instead of the contact being initiated by Gallup. It was a clear penalty IMO.

Another example of Collinsworth getting it wrong was the pass interference called later when the defender ran into Noah Brown. He based his comment on Brown reaching back over the defender and "pulling him into him," but the defender never looked back for the ball, continued his momentum into Brown (causing him to not be able to come back for the ball) and even wrapped one of his arms around Brown. Just because he's a former receiver doesn't mean Collinsworth's opinions on receptions/interference are always correct.

 

[Praxit]

Yep, agree with poster. The ball.goes to whomever has best chance to be open.

Forcing situation, always a bad idea.

 

[Doomsday]

Collinsworth who played the position last I checked after the play …” the receiver has to be able to fight through that “ …

it was illegal hands to the face, he clearly punched Gallup right in the facemask then had contact with him most of the way down the field. Dak shouldn't have thrown it, he wasn't open but it should have been a penalty as well.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Dak shouldn't have thrown that ball. Go somewhere else. Run for a couple of yards. Anything besides force it into a situation like he did.

 

[RonWashington]

And I know Indy is looking at cruises with the Miss and Mrs in January polishing the golf clubs but that’s not a bad defense KM and the O hung some serious points on . Coming off the beating administered in Viking country the “ KM “ is a bum rantings are quieting .

I thought so too, and I’m not one to blame the officials. It should’ve been a penalty.

There’s a reason Gilmore has had the career he’s had . And yes I like an official who pockets the flags and doesn’t start a panic because the receiver is flat on the ground and the defender is having a look what I found moment . It’s football .

And Gallup is 6’1” 198 Gilmore is 6’0” 190 so he should’ve owned that route but it looks like he gave up on the break.

 

[speedkilz88]

It was a timing play, Dak is throwing to a spot when the receiver makes his break. Ref has to throw the flag for illegal contact. Colts got away with another one later on that time it was the safety who made the contact to stop a deep throw.

Because Gilmore is at CB you take Gallup out of the game ? No sir . Gilmore had Gallup most of the night as they doubled Lamb . Gallup still had an exceptional night.
