Timing with your receivers is huge and we all know it. Even Brady struggles when Gronk is out. All season, on 3rd down, when we needed a conversion, Smith would find Conley or Wilson getting open for him down the sideline. They were both gone today and it hurt.....a lot. He was still scrambling out to make those plays. But there was nobody there to throw to so he had to throw it away. I'm not an Alex only fan trying to make excuses for him. He missed some wide open plays and could have overcame that but he didn't. But I certainly did see a difference on 3rd down today.
