listen to your stipulations....1st or 2nd down plays that are thrown balls in the 4th QR that turn into 1st downs. What else you want to add to the list?
I don't even know what you're trying to prove by stating any of this anyway? 16 of his 25 passing attempts happened on 1st/2nd down. It's not run. run. pray Jimmy converts on 3rd down.
They're a run heavy team and everyone knows this. Why would you ask Jimmy to throw the ball MORE when you're trying to eat up the clock? Bad things happen when you ask him to start throwing it more and it started to happen late in the 4th QR. Two of his throws on 2nd down were a INT and a almost fumble in part because of a bad throw. It was part of the reason Dallas was even in the game.
