The pass to Hardman wasn't even a particularly well-thrown pass, almost an up-for-grabs throw. Or 'arm-punt,' if that makes you happy.
Meanwhile, Kelce was WIDE THE **** OPEN WITH SOME ROOM TO RUN.
Put another way: Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Aaron Rodgers, Steve Young, Joe Montana, heck, probably even Brett Favre throw to Kelce there. 100% of the time in that situation.
In the 2nd video, whoever that is that runs into the flat (Jerrick?) has the first down at the very least right there. If it was Mckinnon, he could've gone for 30+ yards if Pat gets him the ball early enough. There's no one in a GB uni anywhere near him. Closest defender looks like he's 12-15 yards from the receiver. And again, the pass downfield was poorly thrown, well behind the receiver. Never mind that Hill was just never open. Not for even a fraction of a second.
But the whole play design drags the entire defense off to the right side of the field. If Pat hits Jerrick right there, there's practically no one for GB in any kind of position to catch him. Put another way, if that was Damien Williams there, and Pat throws him the ball, that's practically a sure TD.
This is pressing in the worst way. Patrick needs to get his head/neck/shoulders out of his ass and take what the play-call and the defense seems so willing to give him.
