I have no problem with throwing the ball at the end of the game but a jump ball to Hill? That's about as dumb as you can get. The defense played their hearts out but unfortunately our offense had no backup plan once Kamara went out. Couple that with terrible officiating and you're going to lose.

Problem was it wasn’t a jump ball. Hill ran a hook but fell back instead of keeping his ground. Had a great position but gave it up. If you have ever played the qb possession you know 75% of the throes are thrown to a spot. Drew threw it where hill vacated.

Regardless, no pass should be thrown to Hill unless he's wide open. Drew's always had a playmaking TE he could count on making a play and taking one away from the defense until now. I think it may be our #1 priority in the draft but that's for a different day. That ball should not be going to Hill in that situation.
