This meme has gained a little too much steam. Here's how I see it:

1. As another poster mentioned - we didn't throw more than two the entire second half and OT. Why?
2. We throw bubbles when the CB's play off the line by 5 yards plus. In the second half Nova was pressing more and McDonald said Wilson is a pretty good mid-deep ball guy.
3. Why throw the bubble when they are off the line? I think it's seen (rightly or wrongly) as free yardage. This game was not good that way - but BC and Minny games last year we took 3-6 yards on those attempts with a much higher completion rate.
4. I also think McDonald wants press coverage. It makes running easier (esp from the QB position) - and you hypothetically should be able to get your large receivers the ball and have them make the play. I say hypothetically since in the Nova game Ishmael had one catch, West had a couple - but mostly it was West drawing PI calls.

I don't think it's bubble or bust. I think it's situational and serves a purpose.

Now - the key with it and any play is execution. And we looked really bad about half the time (Hunt and Wilson)...
