It's a team game man. He did his job exceedingly well. He even made the pass that should have won it. Bowe got pushed out of bounds (before the ball arrived too...not that it ****in matters now).
But if you wanna nitpick, the overthrow to Gray
could have been caught. The intentional grounding was a play where he was ****ed as soon as he dropped back. Best case scenario, he takes the sack and we wouldn't have lost as many yards as we did with the penalty. The play where he fumbled was just a great individual play by a great pass rusher. He can't win every single ****ing snap for christs sake. THe problem with that - in this game he almost had to because our defense lost a 28 point lead and lost a game where we scored 44.
Look, I bitched a ton about Smith this season, but he clearly got better and better as the year went on, and he played very well in our biggest game in 10 seasons. If he plays like that, or anywhere close to that, and our defense plays like it is capable of when we drop some of the dead weight and coordinate things a little better, we'll be an elite team. I'm good with an elite ****in team, let me tell ya.
