Was the 4th down pass to Kendall Hunter catchable? | Page 3

OnTheClock · 2011-12-11T17:35:09-08:00

When I ask this, I mean do you think it is reasonably catchable. Is it within reason to think he could make that catch? I am interested in knowing this for a purpose. Everyone's arguing about this catch, if we can establish a HEAVY majority that says one of the other, it'll be clearer what the truth of the matter is. If we held a poll saying, "Did Alex play bad today?" The vote would be close to 100% .. So let's put the vote to the test on the play. Do you think it is within reason to say this is a catch that another player possibly could have made? Cast your vote.

I agree.

This O-line better wise the hell up. I wanna see what Kilgore has to bring to the table, might as well, he can't be any worse than Chilo.

Was Chilo in there today? I thought Snyder got the start?

staley wasnt there though

Great play by Alex to even have a shot there, but IMO no way should you say "Kendall should've caught" that ball . He was completely horizontal, making a ballsy attempt at a catch. IMO you can't let the game get to that point. No way you can put the blame on Kendall there, that's f**kING b******t!!!!

Nobody is saying he lost the game, just that it was a catchable ball that could've given us a chance to win. I'm more worried about the OL giving up 20 sacks in the last 3 games.

Nobody has even mentioned the missed field goal after the trick play. That could have won the game for us too.

This, and the prior event, which lead to their having to kick that in the first place. The league's officiating has been moronic, at best. That was indecisive, first on Wisenhunt, and two on the official. The official should have exercised better judgment on even allowing that challenge attempt to enter the conversation.

Hell yes it was, but that one damn last play wasn't the problem that caused the loss. I give the rookie the benefit of the doubt.
P.S. Catch the damn ball Hunter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very tough catch but catchable

Alex should have never retreated like that he made that play 100x harder

So many "what if's" in this game...these need to get corrected against the Steelers. Because we lost to AZ, our team will be questioned this whole week by the so-called experts. It was nice to get recognition but now it will be all negative talk.

To answer that big question about if got into a track meet with GB or NO in the playoffs, could our offense keep us in the game? Right now.....NO....and we can't rely on our defense to keep us in those games either.

If something would have been described as an INCREDIBLE catch, you can NOT blame the receiver for not coming up with it. PERIOD.

Not if Ginn finds the long throw at the beginning of the game for a TD, or Edwards runs the back shoulder route correctly and catches the ball, or Walker catches an easy throw that would have converted at 3rd down, or if Crabtree could time his jump to go up and beat a defender.

Certainly Hunter should have caught the ball. In this league, when you get both hands on the ball at the same time, and it goes through your palms, you should catch it!!!

This. f**king all of it. So much fail with this team today.

The f**king tards man! John motherf**king Skelton! WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
