I was thinking the exact same thing when I watched the rewind on NFL channel

Look at Drew getting pulverized just as he releases the ball. It goes back to being on the field and making split second decisions while getting the crap pounded out of you by three hundred pound behemoths rather than watching a slo-mo gif three days after the fact from the comfort of your living room.

Which is another reason not to try and force it down the field and I said it immediately when he threw the ball. Between the 4 man rush and the LB's and DB's in the middle of the field there was 8 men between the hash marks and no one outside on Sproles. All I'm saying is that at times especially when we are behind Drew wants to get all the yardage in huge chunks instead of working in down the field. He zeros on one receiver and doesn't look at anyone else. Same thing he did before half, he didn't look anywhere else but at Graham. Sometimes it works sometimes it bites us. This was one of those times. It wasn't 2 minutes left in the game, we still had almost 2 quarters to go to force that throw.

A bad throw that could have been caught

A throw that Drew normally hits and Marques normally catches

Either way I'm glad he's healthy for thursday night, that was a nasty fall

he's made tougher catches. he short-armed it, you can tell he was looking away from the ball before it hit his hands.

Still a "buddy pass" if I've ever seen one. Maybe Drew was pissed that Colston's new contract kept him from getting 21 million a year.

You have to watch video, not gamecast. text alerts don't usually capture how athletic Colston is.

But seriously, there are like 20 websites devoted to video of him catching balls across the middle and taking huge hits simultaneously. Brees likes to throw the ball high, so most of Colston's receptions are usually helmet level and above. He can't have much sinovial fluid left in his joints from the pounding.

Saw all of them and they don't come close to as great a catch as that would have been.

I can't even begin to blame Colston for not making that catch....
The fact he knew he was going to get hit, while be 4 feet in the air has somethng to do with it.
Bad placement on the ball... The interception just bad luck and bad timing.
