First of all, a QB that takes 3 seconds to take a quick drop like that you will not find in the NFL... Second of all, I counted it, 2 seconds, if that.... Why you persist with your knee-jerk reaction is beyond me
It's sad that they have so little confidence in the running game that they won't run it on a 3rd and 2.
That should have been a penalty on NE for hitting a defenseless receiver long after the ball was batted down.
