I know he caught one earlier in the game, but these over the shoulder "track the ball" situations aren't something he's good at, which is a shame because he gets open.
Jones was putting him in a good spot to make the catch. He would have to comment on it but I think he was protecting Slayton to be able to make the catch imv.
Slayton was open, Jones threw it too high, and Slayton really had to extend to try to pull it in.
LOL, of course you ding Jones on that play.
An NFL caliber receiver absolutely HAS to catch that ball. The only reason why Slayton had to extend was because he inexplicably stopped running and decided jumping instead was a good idea. He keeps running - like he's supposed to - and it's an easy TD.
That seems a little nit picking, or you could make the argument and say that is a perfect throw, catch in stride over the shoulder for a TD. Slay miss judged it and took ownership for it after the game. Hesitated turned and leaped all he had to do was run under the ball it wasn't late and it was thrown away from the defender closest to Slayton. 95% of the time that ball is caught.
almost thinking that he's going to sit the route and Jones will hit him there. As others have said, if he keeps going, that's an easy catch and most likely a TD.
is because he slows down around the 50 and has no other choice at that point. He wasn’t overthrown by any stretch of the imagination. With his speed, he would have walked it in for a touchdown if he catches it in stride.

Jones thought they were in cover 3 and didn't realize they were in cover 1 post snap. He needs to throw the ball away from the deep safety there once he sees the corner run with the crosser
it was a 40 yard throw - cant be that precise or perfect. The receiver has to adjust and is expected to. It was such a dart that made it into a bang bang reaction, which he misplayed. Much easier to critique in hindsight.

He didn't see it
And Slayton ran a lazy route. He knew the corner wasn't going going deep so Slayton needed to bend that route to the outside, away from the safety in the middle of the field.
Exactly what I saw from section 126.
He hesitates and to make matters worse mis-timed the jump.
No sense rehashing, we are LIMITED on offense.

Bad players make bad plays.
Don’t stop and jump!!!!
Game changer right there...
Lack of talent all over the place on display with that play
that's what you got from the replay? Not that Slayton slowed down and jumped when he didn't have to?
In any case, you have to make this catch. Only one of 10,000 chances to win this game, jeez.
Most never even played a sport in their life.
Then it also confirms that your blind
Man what a QB expert you are.
Most never even played a sport in their life.
And play Madden.
When did we hit the point where teams/players can't make mistakes?
Right after Jones fumbled and they took a 3-0 lead, I get a text from a friend "Doesn't look good." LOL

Zero excuse for dropping it.
Next thing we'll hear is Slayton was supposed to stop :)
You have no idea what you're talking about.

BW will NEVER say Jones did something right.. He is just a tad less biased than Go Terps. LOL
Regardless shitty all around and Slayton has to catch it..

If I had to guess, I think Slayton expected the ball to be thrown sooner.
That’s all on Slayton imv.

So in other words you speculate that it was Jones's fault, not that Slayton fucked up and stopped running his route because he could not be bothered.

Another falsity. I had an exchange earlier where I complimented Jones on the throw he made to James late in OT to get into FG range.
If you want to think this play to Slayton was this perfect throw, and Slayton should easily caught it, by all means have had it.
That’s all on Slayton imv.
Like I said, it looks like Slayton expected the ball to be there once he turned. And once it wasn't, he had to speed up, leap, and try to bring it in.
but he forgot to do the hokey pokey

Not totally sure who is at fault. None of us know the play, the timing, or what option Slayton was on Jones's reads.
Let me put it this way. I don't think this play cost us the chance of winning. There were a lot of opportunities to close out that game yesterday.

Mental breakdowns by both players

Lol you're not very good at film study then...
