    Agree. This is the clearest of many examples of how the coaching staff has lost games. I can’t think of three worse playcalls. The first 2 are inexcusable. And I’m not trying to defend fields though I think he did enough. But does anyone know if fields can CHANGE THE PLAY at the line? The third down call though. We needed a first down. Not 40 yards. Time for a 10 yard route to Moore or kmet.

      Scott was wide open and it was a perfect ball… it was the right play. We have been shredding him for not seeing open receivers all year.

        A 40 yard pass is a low percentage pass. It should not have been drawn up like that. One route is super deep. Dj was not even at the first down marker. Bad play design for the situation. I agree fields threw a perfect ball to the right player. But he should not have even had the option

          Having a fast WR stretch the field creates space underneath by pulling safety help.

          The rest of the play might be bad, but having a speed guy take the top off isn’t bad at all.

            I’ll agree with you there. I still think the chance of completion is low for the deep ball vs anything else. Look at the charges packers game. Quentin Johnson dropped it and he was wide open as well
