How can this guy be all-world in one quarter and total garbage the next? Amazing.

One was actually the strength of Armstrong, the other was just a great throw..
The one was thrown into quadruple coverage. Armstrong has great physical gifts but his judgment is about the same as when he was a freshman. Sometimes the physical skills are enough, but often they aren't.

They mentioned earlier that Tommy got instruction from Brett Favre over the summer. Tommy all too often thinks he is a gun slinger like Favre. He just really sucks at gun slinging. Combine that with an idiot calling plays, and you have what we just witnessed. Did they forget how to just run the clock out with barely a minute left and most of the field in front of them?

The RB rotation signals run vs throw. If my 7 year old can pick up on it then I suspect their DC can.

You'd think they would have learned some lessons, but you can't fix stupid.

He threw it about as well as you could though. I just hate when he's put in to bad positions which allows him to make mistakes that he's prone to make.

When was he put into a bad situation? When he had two receivers open? Or when he had the deep man wide and put up a duck? You're bending over backwards to blame the coaches for the player's mistakes.
