Incredible throw

Great coverage

I have my gripes with Olave but that would’ve been an incredible catch if he could’ve made it

Of course results in YET ANOTHER fricking FG.

If Mickey gives this mother fricker a big contract…….they deserve to go down in flames…..just like the MT contract

I’ve said it 100 times on here. He has the hand/upper body strength of a high school sophomore

I remember Olave making some incredible one-handed catches.

That was just good football.


Great throw and a great job by the defender to punch it out.

I do agree in general though. If olave wants to be a true number 1 he has to start bailing some of those plays out.

Dude, the ball was well defended and the defender got a hand on the ball to push it out. Be reasonable

As a “#1” wanting a big contract……you HAVE TO MAKE THAT CATCH! It’s not the 1st or the fricking 3rd time this has happened

It’s not Olave’s forte for sure. He doesn’t have strong hands and rarely if ever makes contested catches. He has to be open with no contact to make catches.

Vele is not as quick or fast as Olave, but I bet he makes that catch.

Maybe not, but we can be reasonably sure considering some of the catches he has already made. More contested than Olave has made in his career.

I think the list of dudes in the league who make that catch is very very short

Even as an Olave hater I’m not mad at him for that one
