[QUOTE="OldSchool101, post: 1049306, member: 10086"] I’ll freely admit that I don’t know what caused Watson’s drop. When you look at his left hand it’s just look like he misjudged it by several inches. Thats really about it. Nothing to get overly excited about. That said both QB’s combined for a 57.7% catch rate. Both finished Lower than their 2024 average. I saw several snap miscues, several uncharacteristic fumbles, several dropped passes and several throws that looked like the ball came out wrong. Thats all I’m saying. I happened to notice on replay there were flurries which I thought was odd. It was about 41 degrees area and dropping, but they said like a 35 windchill at opening kickoff. It was very possible colder up above I’m sure those were flurries though. I do believe it was a slippery ball and while it may have not affected that play, it was a factor. Just so you know. I’m not blaming all life’s problems on colder weather or moisture. I do know a plane crashed recently when it was 85 degrees out. It hovered at 16K too long. It iced up inside of a couple minutes tops. I’m quite sure those pilots would agree with you that moisture and temperature at ideal conditions are non factors. They believed it until they stalled their state of the art aircraft. Once it hit about 10K feet and took on 2 inches of ice it was over. These are guys that combined were likely educated on effects of weather more than you and I combined. Unfortunately They learned their lesson the hard way and took dozens of innocent people with them. Oddly, experts said had they elevated another 4-5k feet into colder weather? It 99% chance would’ve saved everyone on board. Sounds backwards I know. I’m about 99% sure that the grip on a football changes with weather conditions. I also think similarly that well below freezing the ball is easier to grip than it is between about 30-35 degrees in moisture. I’m also 100% sure I saw flurries on camera around that same time. If you don’t want to believe me I won’t take it personal. [/QUOTE]
