Hundley did in 6 games what Rodgers took 10 years to do [Win in OT].
Clearly, Hundley regressed today. His accuracy was off on any pass over 20 yrds.
His first drive was solid. He began 5-6-37; then came the 3rd and 6 INC to Allison in EZ. Hundley recognized a blitz coming off his left and moved Cobb there to pick it up And Kendricks stayed in to block on right. Read #1 one was to Adams left at the sticks. Read #2 was to Allison on deep out. Read #3 was Jordy on stop and go on right. Hundley passed up the first read [Adams was open] and began to throw before Allison made his cut. This was absolute perfection; except for the throw. I looked at the play several times to determine if Allison cut too late. His cut was perfectly timed, a split second after Hundley started his throwing motion, so Allison didn’t cut too late; the throw was just off.
ON the 2nd drive:
Play #1: Alexander blitzed off TB's left edge. Evans was way too late to Pick him up and he had a free shot at Hundley. Hundley did a Rodgers, let his come in and juked him at last second and scrambled for 10
Play #2: Holding on Kendricks.
Play 3: Run for 1
Play 4: On 2nd and 19; he looked at First read WAY too long; by the time he got to 2nd read Jordy open on a 7-8 yard curl was making his secondary move. The OL was great; but he was spooked, so he ran. This was just a piss poor play; but if Hundley remained courageous in pocket, he might hav done something.
Play 5: dump of to Kendricks.
Drive 3:
McCarthy called a variation of the Jordy right shock play. Tampa was in a 2 deep, so it wasn’t going to work. What’s interesting is that the safety on packer’s right crashed in and the other safety rotated over instead of covering the WR left. W/ 2 TEs who staying in to block and a RB who blocked while running a delayed valve. The play was doomed and Hundley went thru with it anyways. And then threw bad pass to boot.
And for the rest of the Game Hundley really SUCKED; it was effing Doppleganger 😂! His entire game fell apart mentally and physically after the back to back disaster plays of 2nd drive, which occurred after he missed Geronimo. What was frustrating is McCarty kept called longer pass plays; when Hundley needed some of that first drive short pass elixir.
I wonder if the pressure of a must win prevented him from rebounding from adversity.
But, never fear, expectations must be adjusted to reality:
Case Keenum, started in his 2nd year and was 0-8.
Jared Goff last year: 7 starts, 0-7 w/ a 63.4 PR.
Lat Yr, Wentz was great in his first 4 games: 3-1 [loss a 1 pointer] w/ a PR rating well over 100. Then he regressed badly: 2-8 in next 10 w/ a PR under 71.
