No, you didn't.
Watch his first pass attempt of the game. He throws it before the receiver has even turned around
Watch him on the sack-fumble that led to the defensive TD. He never sees the blitzer, nor does he stop from doing anything than looking at his primary receiver.
Watch him on any number of roll outs. The play that we almost exclusively run with Moeaki is a single read throw with a lot of noise. He never even attempts to go anywhere else with the ball. It's always a PA fake, a roll out, and a throw to Moeaki on the drag route.
You don't have to make reads against a prevent defense. That's why anyone can play against it. Everyone is back 12 yards, and as a result, everyone is open short. Thus, a series of short-intermediate throws over the middle of the field to wide open receivers who are held from large gains by the 4 deep shell.
When he had to "make reads" in the first half, he routinely shit himself and took a number of unnecessary sacks because he can't read a defense.
Stat lines =/= quality of play.
