So when you have Green, someone who has seen cover 2's, going one way, and someone who hasn't seen NFL cover 2 much throwing another way, things like this are bound to happen. Miscommunication.
Not really a missed FG away. The Broncos were at the Bengals 38 with over a minute to go and 2 timeouts. It only would have been a 20-17 game at that point.
He did well in the beginning. I agree completely with that. But he struggled in the 2nd half. It's not how you start games, it's how you finish them.
And that playoffs weren't on the line. A bye week was. This was like a playoff game. There are no qualifiers. You win or lose. Period.
Again it doesn't make any sense to run a guy to the corner as you suggest when all of his targets are to the right. No QB is going to read the right side of the field and then fire all the way to the far left corner of the field. Period.
Secondly this game went into overtime. Had we made our FG and McManus missed theirs we would have won with time running out. Hence, a missed FG from winning the game. Yes, playoffs were on the line as Denver, prior to this game, had not locked in a playoff spot.
Secondly, AJ wasn't running the ball and he wasn't calling the plays. That O-line and run game struggled to the tune of 33 rushes at 3.3 yds/ carry.
Now let's not forget the defense that not once but twice allowed back to back drives down the field for potential game winner/OT winning FGs. Plus let's not forget the Hillman TD run where we failed to tackle him several times.
But yes let's harp on the QB who started his second career NFL game. Let's especially rag on him for not heaving the ball up across his body, under pressure, to the opposite side of the field, only because Green gave up running up the middle. I'm sure if AJ threw the ball to the corner and nobody was there you'd be saying why didn't AJ throw it to where AJ was headed.
So therefore because Green stopped running and AJs pass fell incomplete and we lost the game and the first round bye..that means AJ is bad at zone coverage. Ok buddy.
