There was a play exactly like that with Palmer and the Cardinals against Green Bay though.

That Packers defender dove and deflected with with his left hand while his right arm was around the Cardinals WR's back.  Seriously, you are debating that a diving one-handed, left-handed, backhanded deflection of a bullet pass by a defended who ended up on the ground counts as throwing it directly at the defender?

Look at this...



The guy has his arm around Fitzgerald's waist, so I'm not sure how Palmer managed to his that defender directly "in the hands."  Lucky bounce for sure, but acting like Palmer is just gunning the ball right at a defender who magically tipped it to Michael Floyd is a bit of a stretch.

Looks like a deflect and a possible PI.  So what?  Rewrite the books based on that one?  Meh.


EDIT: I just realized you and I turned a positive thread about AJM into a frame-by-frame analysis of Palmer and Dalton's playoff follies. We're monsters.
