Wow. Well spoken DarkVictory23. You said what some of us were saying but much more eloquently.
I think this is just overreacting to an interception on a bad crossing route that led to the pick. Yes, he made a few bad decisions but what quarterback doesn't? We've gotten spoiled because he's played almost perfect all year. Even superman needs help sometimes. Geno was the least of the worries today.
Geno had two bad decisions (and he got lucky to not be picked off on those), a weird handoff miscue that I'm not sure who's fault it was so for the sake of argument will put on Smith, and then two passes that were a little low.
That's not great but it's not terrible. In fact, the two bad decisions stood out because they were so unlike Geno to do. How about that! We're so used to our QB not making bad decisions that it sticks out like a sore thumb when he does.
But at the end of the day, dude puts up 300+, a couple of TDs, and a pick that was on his receiver bailing on the route. This is a 'bad' game? Holy crap, how spoiled are we if this is a bad game? How many 'clutch' QBs are already done by the third quarter when their defense lets a dude run for 200+?
It seems like all perspective for Geno goes out the window in a game like this. We so badly want him to pull our butt out of the fire one last time that when it doesn't happen we think he's failed us but the reality is if Geno doesn't make a bunch of 'clutch' plays before that moment we already would have lost the game.
He didn't even fail us on that last drive. He hits his opening pass for 5 to keep us ahead of the sticks only for us to inexplicably try to run the ball again. Fair or not, we ended that drive the moment we handed the ball to Walker.
