How many miracle catches do you need to ask of Hopkins? Is your reasoning really 'well he makes so many one handed catches look easy'? 'They were awful throws'. Yeah.....that's the point. Not even sure what you're arguing. The game isn't Hoyer's fault, but delivering not awful throws on a critical drive kinda matters
No. Nuk is human. By his standards it's a catchable ball. What's more unfortunate is that if he hits Hop in stride there we are probably at mid field. Shorts ball was an easy touchdown. Oh well. Hoyer played well today.
Yates would have marched the team down field with less than 2 minutes to go. He's done it multiple times.
Watch the replay and get back to me buddy. It didn't take a miracle to catch that. His caliber of player will make that catch 9/10 times. It was an awful throw because Hop has him beat by a lot out of that break. On the numbers and he's off and running.
He certainly played better than anyone could have reasonably expected him to play, that doesn't mean that he wasn't bad at the end. Also, Bullock just kicked a likely game winner

Was about to make a similar post. Yates isn't exactly a world beater but he is fearless. He's been in big games before and I trust Yates over Hoyer. Utilizes Hopkins our best play maker better as well. Hoyer is just not good enough in a playoff chase.
we will still go 9-7, watching every scenario play out except the one that eliminates us from ALMOST! going to the playoffs =/ fun game though, just ill prepared for the HS offense as usual. Everything would be much easier on hoyer with a mccoy in the backfield. address it please.
Hoyer did enough to win the game. Lack of running game plus Andre Hal blowing an easy pick 6 cost us the victory.
Feed Hopkins even more because he's the one that's been adjusting to imperfect throws all season. Shorts had a shot but after what looked like a concussion to everyone, how do we know he ran the route sharp enough that the pass could've been closer? You try to get the ball to your best players in crucial situations. You'd be a lot less satisfied if you failed by trying to get the ball to Shorts or Washington, than if you failed trying to get it to Hopkins.
