just because a pass is completed doesnt mean things worked.  if you sat a game in person its crazy the number of plays that we missed.  Some were bad throws. some were bad routs, some were missed reads.  The Pitt game turned on an INT that should have been thrown to a different WR.  What we dont know is does the system have a check in place for the QB to make that throw, did the WR see it too?

You only get so many chances to hit Home run throws.   I get that they are not the easiest throws to make but the numbers have to say give your guy a chance and we fail to do that way to often.  our QBs often lead the throw to the wrong place on the field so in addition to not  completing the pass the margin of error goes way down.  if we just get to 50/50 on those throws we add 1-2 TDs a game.

Look back at some of our biggest throws of the year and they were on under throws that AT made plays on. If you are going to miss this miss has to be made on the catchable side most of the time.. our QBs do the opposite, the deep balls get over thrown and the other throws get thrown in the wrong places..  Our slants get thrown high and our fades get thrown short..  Thats accuracy things they coaches I am sure are working through and as that gets fixed our efficiency gets better .
