I dunno. It his hands. It would have been a tough catch either way, but I think that should have been caught.

Gibson's single mistake on that play was tracking the ball over his right shoulder.
And that, my friend, is what I feel is Gibson's biggest flaw.

I've seen him make ridiculous catches on post patterns and 9 routes, but when he's got to actually track a long ball, it freaks him all up. For whatever reason, he just loses his bearings. If you're able, go back and look at the Eagles game of last year for examples of both.

Noticed this too. Remember the long bomb against the Vikes in the preseason? I thought he was going to tackle himself. Even last weeks TD catch was sketchy. I always hold my breath when I see Sammy lobbing the long ball for Gibby. At least he makes it interesting, haha.
