Idk about that. The ball was behind him and into double coverage But yea, Moore should’ve looked. I think Moore expected the ball to be throw towards the back of the end zone, which I think it’s should’ve been.

This is a bad game by any standards. The defense and run game has to be pretty freaking good to overcome this level of quarterbacking.

It was a certainly bad game but anyone who has played this sport at a high level knows you dont apologize for 2 score wins.

It was a foot from his head. He catches it easily.

Just saying, it’s not a high floor issue today. This was basement

It was high and behind. That’s an awkward catch. Easily is a big stretch

It’s DJ Moore. He makes that catch 100 times out of 100 if he’s looking. It was not high and it was a foot behind.

Yeah and i will be really concerned if we see more of them, if its not the floor but ends up becoming a "one out of every few" games things its a huge problem.

Please explain. Caleb held the ball. DJ did not expect to get it. But if DJ should expect anything, it is ball holding

The Defense had to will us to victory. He didn’t look good the entire game. It happens. He will get better.

But our run game on both sides looked great for two weeks in a row. That’s a huge step.

Our fan base are the worst seriously we win four in a row they bitch we lose four in a row they bitch. This team is far from perfect but give me 4-2 over 2-4 we are in a good place right now as I said before the season even started that they especially the offense will struggle.

Caleb’s stat line was bad and he was not great, but it looks a lot different if DJ makes the easy TD catch, Odunze catches any 50/50 ball, the big Swift completion isn’t undone by a bogus penalty call, and Dalman doesn’t have 3 terrible snaps.

The offense has a lot to clean up (though the running game was great), but the people who are putting this all on Caleb just enjoy griping about Caleb, as best I can tell. He absolutely needs to be better, but the idea that everything is clicking other than him is just irrational.

It is a ridiculous take but that balls not catchable even if DJ is ready for it. Inside the 15 and you know its going to be man presnap, ball cant be behind the WR you have to lead him early or come off the route.

It would be a tough catch. Off target for sure. Perhaps if he’s expecting a throw and had his head turned he could have slowed down, IDK. It would be a great play

“Held the ball” is not a valid point. The play had been going for three seconds and was not over. Caleb gave him a catchable ball just past the goal line. You think receivers can reasonably just take plays off and not look for the ball? That’s an interesting perspective.

Also, the most famous gripe about Caleb is he holds the ball too much, so acting like DJ could somehow be surprised the ball was not already out is a terrible take. Your QB is making off-schedule plays and extending with his legs routinely. You know this!

There is no excuse and it’s 100% on DJ. Trying to make this a Caleb problem is pathological.

Two things can be true at same time. Caleb had bad overall game for his yards, but that was not bad throw to wide reciever DJ Moore. DJ never even looked to get a ball. Also Caleb on throwing to Rome were actually decent as well, but Rome basically dropped like 2 or 3 of them.

The ball was not just catchable, but it would have been an unremarkable catch. It was not perfectly on target, but it wasn’t even a ball you’d have to reach far for if you simply turned and stuck your hands out.

That was a bad throw. Didn’t look catchable at all unless he was looking for it. He probably should have looked for it. Both receiver and quarterback blew it
