As the thread said. This is my thoughts on every pass he made. I could do this for AZ too but that be 33 more to go through. This is a tape EVERYONE in the NFL is going to look. Lets see what is there beyond the stats.
Drive 1
#1 - 1st and 10 @25 - Edelman over the middle. This pass is caught in stride at the 34 and taken to . This was a pretty simple first read open and throw it appears but the ball gets there in stride and makes it possible to get 5 YAC yards for a total of 14. Perfectly executed but it won't get much easier than first read open. Still worth noting Jimmy was under pressure by Alonzo adding some degree of difficulty and took a hit to make this pass.
-Blount run for 10 first down.
-Blount run for -1
#2 2nd and 11 @47 - This was a designed dump off pass to Foster who catches it 4 yards behind the LOS and makes 2 yards on the play. This was a designed play and IDK if there was another option to go to besides this. Jimmy does the pass well but not much there and this is a very easy pass.
#3 3rd and 9 @ 49 - This was a 3 WR bunch formation the the right and Edelman on the left. I think the play was designed to go right but when Jimmy was the huge cushion Edelman was given pre snap I think he decided to go there. Caught a yard short of the first down marker and Edelman picks up the rest. Not a hard pass but a very heads up read by Jimmy here. Goes for 11.
#4 1st and 10 @ 40 - A designed play to Bennett with a pass 3 yards behind the LOS with down field blocking. Not a difficult pass but Jimmy does well here. The thing that stuck out to me on this play is how well he sold the hand off. It seemed everyone ignore Bennett which is odd considering how he is moving to get into position on this play. Well done on the small things by Jimmy. 26 yard gain.
-Blount run for 1
#5 2nd and 9 @ 14 - This is arguably Jimmy's best pass of the day. He hits Amendola at the 5 but he is looking right the whole time forcing the LB who should be on Amendola to cheat a little over there. Once he does Jimmy snaps back to Amendola who is behind the LB and about 2 yards to his left. If he did not look off this be an incomplete pass or he jumps the route but Jimmy makes him over commit and he can't recover before Jimmy lazers in the ball even though he is right there. This is the stuff NFL coachs harp on. Also worth noting the throw leads him well and allows him to carry his momentum towards the end zone while throwing the ball on the move. This one scores an A+ Touchdown for 14 yards.

#6 1st and 10 @ 25 - This play seemed designed for Bennett as a dump off as that is where Jimmy is looking. However we quickly identifies 3 Miami defenders at the LOS and instantly attacks Hogan who is free behind them. A good quick decision and smart read for easy money and taking advantage a defensive miscommunication. Ball thrown to the 36 and Hogan gets you to the 44.
#7 1st and 10 @ 44 - A quick throw 4 yards behind the LOS to Edelman. Edelman makes a 9 yards gain out of it. What sticks out to me about these passes is the release. It is quicker than Tom's and one of the quickest i have ever seen in the NFL. This allows defenses half a step less to react than they usually would cause of how quickly the play gets going.
-Blount run 3 yards
#8 2nd and 7 @41 - This is a play in which the coaches trust Jimmy to pick from a number of options with 4 targets. Pressure gets to Jimmy but he moves up to avoid it. Does it very calmly too keeping his eyes down field. He throws to Hogan who gets open by a hair cutting to the inside and has him high point the ball which is the smart move cause defends are close enough that a normal pass might get blocked or if he lead him down the field he would have lead him into a hard hit. Very good execution and a smart choice here which nets 20 yards.
-blount run 1 yard
#9 2nd and 9 @20 - Incomplete. Not much was open here but maybe he could have tried a back shoulder on the sideline to Edelman. He also could have afforded ot hold on to the ball a bit longer as i think he still had a second of protection left. Not a bad pass though and though the LB doesn't make an amazing play to stop it he does force the LB to make a decent play to stop it.
#10 3rd and 9 @20 - Most QBs here think first down and Jimmy might have been too but he is not afraid to throw a bit deeper if he feels he has a guy. 4 guys run down the field and i think White breaks late to be a safety valve on a short pass. IDK if the LB got stuck looking at White or if he just did not expect Bennett to run a verticle route. Either way he just freezes and lets Bennett get behind him and after that Jimmy locks on and with no hesitation goes for the all or nothing which was a 25 yard pass and hits him in stride. This was a very good play by Jimmy cause I don't think the play was automatically designed to go there but he reads the defenders mistake very quickly and a moment later the ball the go. Showing quick read ability.
