By that rationale, you didn't count Warner's bomb to Bruce to win the SB. That ball was underthrown and Bruce got lucky because the DB missed the tackle and took a bad angle. It "shouldn't" have been a TD, it was just lucky. A good play but not actually great.

No?

Because that was a different play, I was very specific about the mess-up by the Bears secondary. They thought he was down and let him get up and run.

Please, don't make up a false analogy--I cannot be fairer. It was a great play, a big gainer but an alert defense would have touched him rather than let him get up and run it in for a touchdown.

If Ike had fallen down and the Titans didn't touch him and he got up and ran it in, I'd say that was alertness by Ike but stupidity by the Tians 2 DBs

You have to be able to get that---a misplay by a DB or two is not the same as being stupid.

No, but in either case, it "shouldn't" have happened. But that's the point, it did happen. Stafford made a great pass, Jefferson made a great play to not give up. You're acting like this was a pass right to the defender and he tips it to the receiver who then scores.

The question is, why are you forcing "realistic" onto this play and overall? I didn't see anything that wasn't "real" about Stafford's performance but you feel like it should have a qualifier. I mean, do we give Stafford credit for the TD's that Kupp and Henderson "should" have scored on? Or do you only look at realistically in the other direction?
