I’m genuinely curious about what this sub thinks about this game.

He had some nice throws, that a starting QB needs to make, mixed in with the same inaccuracy issues we’ve seen all year. So very much a mixed bag

Is this the best we’ve seen of Love?

    I think it probably was his best game. His accuracy could still use work, but it looks like it’s improving. He had two chances at a game winning drive and managed to march right down the field. Unfortunately they couldn’t capitalize on either, but the Steelers have the 4th best red zone defense in the NFL so it’s not terribly surprising.

    As for the two picks, the first one is really just a great play by the defender and probably 8 times out of 10 it just falls incomplete. If he’d put it a bit higher the defender couldn’t have tipped it, but it would have been an awkward catch for Watson. The second one was just a rushed throw because of the pressure. The guard and center got manhandled and pushed right into his lap. I think ideally you want him to step up in the pocket there and buy a little more time, but I’m not sure he could have done that without taking a sack. He didn’t have enough time so he just took his primary read.
