Going right through his hands as he is fully extended because the pass was thrown to high. I do agree he should have caught it but IMO the fact that it was a poorly thrown ball helped make it so he didn't. I guess we will have to agree to disagree on this one.
Your comment about passes like that or even worse counting against the QB as an interception is a valid one however and when one takes that into consideration I suppose its only fair to take the other into consideration as well.

I could be interpreting what you're saying incorrectly, sorry if that's the case.
No doubt, if the ball would have glanced off the top of his fingertips, I would not count it as a drop, but it went right through his hands. I mean, I just don't ... I just am flabbergasted how Jones can be removed from fault here. Again, not saying he's 100% at fault because he's not. Aaron should have lead him (as I wrote about numerous times btw) instead of throwing it high.
You remember Jordy Nelson missing a catch that was intercepted? I would credit Jordy for the interception AND drop because it was a good throw and hit him in the hands. Conversely, I would credit Aaron with the interception due to it not being a good throw and Jones would get the drop because he (regardless of effort) got both hands well in position to make the catch.
BTW, it's nice to have a decent debate about the game in which the Packers WON, lol.
