He feels pressure and looks to avoid the sack so he will hurry a throw before a target is out of their break, which leaves the ball in no man's land or in this case, in the defender's hands unfortunately.

If Grant does not fall down, I am still not convinced it is a catch. Maybe he gets a hand on it and it goes incomplete, maybe there is no INT, or at least no return yards on the INT, but that ball was throw way wide.

I totally agree!! This had a great drive to get us to ot!! Then he didn't want to stand in and deliver under pressure!!

You right!! Defense held a top offense in check to 19 points!! What else can you ask for!! Gotta start winning these games!!

Sucks to lose but still team showed a lot today.

This what's get me about people!! Anyone can see that the throw was off even if he breaks without falling but Cooley make y'all think the route wasn't ran right!! Let's take the inaccurate throws that was completed back from Kirk! The head coach a joke and the qb makes mistakes!! The def is playing a good season!! They giving the team a chance to win every week!! The head coach suppose to be a offense guru.

You act like we lose to Patriots, or Packers!! Better yet you act like we scored 30 points and lose a shoot out!!

This is every QB's flaw and that's how you win in the NFL.
On defense, you pressure the QB to force them to make mistakes.
On Offense, you run the ball so it neutralizes the pressure.

We need to give the ATL D a lot of credit for dialing up that blitz and executing on the play.

An out to the sideline is a risky throw.
Grant probably does have the best hands on the team but I think teams are starting to sit on his routes since he isn't a threat to run by them.

KC made a great read picking up the blitz but he made a bad decision throwing to Grant. He just isn't going to win his matchup on the outside.

Not having a legit TE hurt us.
This is where guys like Romo and Brady throw to their safety blanket TE's.

The Head coach is a joke??? REALLY?? Pray tell who do you want as coach?? Heck yes..LETS FIRE GRUDEN..IN FACT WHY DONT YOU START A PETITION TO GET ER DONE!!… the more i think about it ..yup lets get er done fire the coach ASAP. GRUDEN IS WITHOUT A DOUBT ..THE WORST HEAD COACH IN THE HISTORY OF THE NFL…now that i agree with you don't you see how silly it all is..the truth is if we win two in a row you would want Gruden to be coach of the year…

Yeah throwing it away and setting up third down instead of forcing a risky throw has got to be a mind set. There is a time and a place for risky throws but that was not the right time.

I sincerely apologize for taking this thread off track.

Please accept my apologies!

We should have won that game particularly since we got an almost impossible tying field goal in the final few seconds. There's no doubt that Gruden has done a good job preparing this team although I wouldn't have tried the first long-distance field goal putting Atlanta in good field position, and Cousins, despite the interception at the end, is doing a credible job. Instead of always thinking we'll lose every week, I have hope that we can win.

Do you have anything of merit to offer that would refute Gruden being thought of as a poor head coach, and play caller, other than a hyperbolically sarcastic, ad hominem assault on a person holding that perspective? Then again you can boil the multitude of human perspectives, with all of their variability, down to, everyone operates in black and white. Win game me like. Lose game me hate. Does this not seem sillier than the original posters assertion?

I hope this is all written with the sarcasm font on. Because if it's not it's overblown useless rhetoric BS. And since you're the smartest kid on the block, "posters" needs an apostrophe. Don't even try to claim it was a typo...

I was being sarcastic to the post about how bad Gruden sucks ..truth is compared to what we have had in past (Other than Gibbs) Gruden is not bad..it just gets to me after every loss how fans turn on somebody.. got to blame somebody..I for one never thought we would beat the Falcons and was surprised we played them that well..the skins at best are a 8-8 team..but that is not bad !
