7. A lot of talk about the DeSean Jackson TD. Here's my take (and I've seen the replay several times now):
First Talib - He was clearly beaten off the press by a nice move by Jackson. That's going to happen people, they are paying the other guys too. Jackson is a very elusive receiver and a perfect match up for Philly based on the kind of big CB Talib is. All that being said, Talib still got back into a decent "underneath" position that would have given him a chance to make a play if the pass hadn't been perfectly thrown. I have said time and time again, NO DB can cover a perfectly thrown ball without committing a penalty.
As to Gregory, he certainly was late to the party. BUT, before you condemn him, it would be necessary to figure out what the coverage was, and what his responsibilities were. If the coverage called and formation made Gregory responsible for sideline support over the top, then he deserves all the blame you can hand out, since his tardiness and angle to the ball were clearly evident. HOWEVER, if he had other responsibilities, and was only reacting to a ball in the air, then all the hate has been unjustified.
