That throw was a thing of beauty.

I have watched the play about 40 times and the thing I keep seeing is what a great throw Case made.  I am a Teddy guy and love Bridgewater, and frankly my attitude toward Case has been a hopeful, "wait and see."  But that throw to Diggs was no fluke or hail Millie.  That was a throw to a spot aimed at Diggs.  He threw it high so Diggs could catch it and there would be no chance of an interception.  He threw in to the sidelines because the play was designed to get into field goal range.  Plus he threw it to the open guy who was farthest down the field.  

How many times have you seen a QB pick the nearest of the three recievers for the easier throw?  Case threw that ball beautifully to a spot designed to go to the furthest receiver, Diggs that would give us the most yards for a closer field goal.  Instead Diggs makes the catch and play of his career because of the great throw Case made.

@"Neptizzle" said: diggs catch, the luck involved for how stupid williams was to trip past him and then run into his own player, the diggs actually thinking to look at the field instead of just going out of bounds. it took all players involved.

a minneapolis miracle.


i think that is something that really doesnt get the recognition it deserves... all week in practice,  in the huddle, pre snap,  running down field,  jumping in the air,   Diggs is saying 2 things to himself when that play is called... "catch the damn ball"    and "get out of bounds",  to be able to come down in bounds and not immediately, instinctively,  by repetition and reflex not immediately step out of bounds... amazing!

Not an either or proposition!  The play was well executed in the throw and catch and I love it everytime I see it!  SKOL
