Sure, the weather made the ball slick and affected QBs throws, but there were at least two plays that I remember where Joe threw it to a spot and Tee went the other way on the route. There were a couple more that were off his hands, wet ball or not, he's much too polished of an elite level athlete to not have at least reeled in a couple of those targets.
Agree with this. Week 1 last year is how I'd expect a 'uncharacteristically bad QB performance' to look. A guy who is making mistakes all over the place, but still able to find some connection. There was zero connection in the passing game on Sunday. A lot of that's on Burrow, but the WRs weren't exactly winning their battles. The fact we got literally ZERO going is quite concerning. There's rusty and there's an offence looking like they'd never met each other before the game. Based on the careers of these guys so far, you'd expect it's just a very weird outlier.
