Trevor was going deep no matter what.  The defense had it covered on all 3 possibilities.  It was not double coverage.  It was triple covered.  There were 3 clots defending the area. 

But whatever.  You are the delicate genius. You know best.  The more I watch that play, the more it's obvious that it was the ugly of the game.  Which, by the way, is the topic of this thread.  (Good/Bad/Ugly)

So tell me how that play, the design of the play, and the execution of that play isn't the "Ugly" of the game?  Oh, no.  I get it.  You just want to argue the minutia of your genius analysis.  While the rest of us recognize the obvious.

It was absolutely, 100%, unequivocally single coverage. You really should look into understanding this.
That safety was not assigned to cover that receiver. He made a decision to vacate his rather obvious assignment and make a play on the ball. 


I wouldn't call it the UGLY of the game. 

Trevor got greedy and made an ill advised throw because he didn't pick up on the Saftey picking up on him. 

Bad play. "Ugliest aspect of the game?" 
No

That - to me - would be the secondary being ripped for 359 yards and 3 air TDs from Joe Flacco.

OK, bro.

When there are 3 defenders in the area, it's triple covered.  I just don't know how you can't figure that out.  There was the defender over the top, there was the defender underneath, and the safety coming over to make the pick.  That's 3.  That's triple coverage.  Stop trying to spin it any other way.

That's the ugly of the game.

The Secondary was bad.  I mentioned that, which you deleted from your first response to me.  That was cute, your delicate genius couldn't allow my post to stand as is.  

I stand by my "Ugly" call.  It was a bad decision by Lawrence to throw into a 3 man covered area.  All while he had Strange wide open waiting for the check down.  And the route design caused 2 WRs to converge on the same spot in the zone D.

It was an ugly play.  All around.

The Secondary wasn't ugly.  That's just you trying to cope with the fact that maybe you're wrong...  The secondary was bad.  We can discuss the TD catches that got them back in the game.  1 of them was basically a hail mary that was answered.
