[QUOTE="dressedcheeseside, post: 50350, member: 77"] You are right. But my comment also brings to fore a point that has always bothered me. Why do pass happy attacks get praise for high completion % when a good portion (probably majority) of those are wide open passes to the flats where the ball travels 5 to 10 yards horizontally but only about 1 to 3 yards vertically? It's an easy pass and most of the yards are gained after the catch, yet all the yards go to the passer. Now consider our pitches, many of which actually travel forward but are never considered completed passes and never get tallied as such or the yards after the catch counting towards passing yards. My biggest beef is that the immense skill required and difficulty overcome to make these plays goes completely unnoticed by many of our supposedly knowledgeable fans. Timing, synchronicity, spacing, reading, reaction, accuracy... all in the face of massive linemen, LB's and safeties in the grills of our qb.... none of this matters to the guys who poo poo our ground attack, or more appropriately, the aesthetic of our ground attack. I don't get that lack of appreciation. [/QUOTE]
