Cook was throwing darts. He made 2 bad throws. Both to Mookie Cooper. The first one was on the second drive and Cook missed him on third down for what would've moved the chains. The second actually hit Mookie in his hands but was thrown behind him. As we've seen from Mookie-- atleast once earlier in a previous game--the effort to catch the football wasn't there. Wease dropped the first pass of the ball game on a short pass that hit him square in the numbers. Wease also couldn't corrale a deep ball that was perfectly thrown. In fairness to Wease, he appeared to be interfered with and had his left arm trapped by the defender. Norfleet was targeted twice and while he caught the ball he was tackled instantly both times for short gains. A guy that size needs to make it more difficult on the defender to get him to the ground. On the two minute drill to end the half Brady was again on the money. Burden's fumble on that drive was bad but not only because he fumbled but because he went backwards to try and make a play when we really just needed him to get the first down to stop the clock (which he could've had easily by turning up field). Manning made a nice hands catch on the final play before the FG. Craig's kick was a thing of beauty. The running game was money.
