i understand its neither here nor there,but it sure looked like he was wide open.This team is missing JJ bad,I believe that Barber had a good game,and one of the reasons is Seattle saw no threat in him.JJ needs to come back NOW.

He will as soon as he's ready. No sense in rushing him back. We will need him late in the season and in the playoffs, if we get that far.

I wouldn't say Witten was wide open because the way DB was running for him to throw back like that the defender could have made a play on the ball but he was open. If DB wouldn't have been running he could have made the pass....

Agree on JJ. Barber did have a nice game, but, i bet JJ busts a couple of those for big time runs.

Witten was open but it would have been hard/dangerous throw for Bledsoe to make.

He was running to the sidelines and there were several defenders in front of Bledsoe and I don't think Bledsoe is a good passer on the run.

True, and it also looked that Bledsoe's line of sight to Witten was blocked by the defender as he was running. It would have been diffiicult as you said.

Whoever said the defender was in the line of sight and in the way, was right. Witten looked very wide open. Trust me, if Bledsoe had the ability to make that play, he would have. That's a chip throw, if it was possible (which it wasn't). I don't think he risked himself to injury for fun.

There was no throwing lane between Bledsoe and Witten...Jason needs to learn how to move around to create a throwing lane on plays like that.

Wide Open. As soon as Blesoe took off, Wittens man left him WIDE OPEN! All he had to do was rifle one of his typical 4 yd passes right in the belly of our TE doing jumping jacks. WIDE OPEN!

He woulda been widee open on the last drive if he hadn't been grabbed around the knees.
