Disclaimer: I'm not trying to rain on anyone's parade, put down the team, don't wish the team to lose, etc., etc., etc.
I am merely suggesting where to look for Losman's future utility to this team.
On the first drive, as short as it was, JP's shortest pass completed on the fly was 16-17 yards and that was the TD catch.
He had one throw short and that was underthrown. Forget all the deep stuff, but if Losman is going to be a good QB for either this team or another, he will have to begin having success in his short game. The first drive and deeper stuff is exciting, but it won't lead to success for this offense against teams with defenses much better than Cincy's which is near rock bottom.
Otherwise enjoy the game!!
Running Tally of short passes (plus total gain):
Incomplete short right to Reed
Short Left to Scchouman for 10
Short Middle to Gaines for 9
Short Left to Parrish for -2
Short Right to Lynch for 7
Incomplete Short MIdddle to Evans (reality: dropped by Evans)

Short Left to Gaines for 2 (RZ)
