Royale with Cheese Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Just now, BillsRdue said: you said it, tough- not great. Every #1 WR in the league should make that catch. Theilen and Diggs do it 2-3 times per week. Yeah, I can agree with that. I don't think Thieln/Diggs do it multiple times weekly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LABILLBACKER Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 No. I've watched every game and there has not been a highlight reel type of catch. The irony is the closest one was Allen's attempt in the back of the EZ yesterday. We'll need WR help soon or this kid will never be able to make that next step. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie Nails Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 If Allen would have reeled in that TD catch yesterday it would have been an all timer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphadawg7 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Sadly, KB made a couple. He’s awful, but he made a couple I can remember when he towered over people to get a pass only he could. Unfortunately he alligator armed or dropped 10 times more passes on what was an atrocious season by him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not every ball can be a "great catch". If great catches were the norm They wouldn't be "great" No I want a great catch and 13 games into the season, haven't seen one......

Bing Bong Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 (edited) Robert Foster's deep ball catch against Jets first game was not impressive haha. It just shows how far removed we are from seeing a good receiver play. An under thrown deep ball where no corners adjust and he jumped only to catch it in his bread basket.. didn't exactly track back and high point it super aggressively with his hands as he would have had to have done if the corners had not been so incompetent. Remember how enamored we were with Deonte's deep catch in the snow from Joe Webb? That was the most routine go route and catch any given WR should be able to do.

Dadonkadonk Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Nope. I've posted on this before. Watch any NFL game and WRs are making amazing catches all the time. NFL QBs are amazing but everyone including Breese, Rodgers, and Brady throw passes that are difficult to catch. Amazing has to be almost routine to win in this league. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn’t just a toe tap. The ball was a 3-4 feet out of bounds. He kept his feet glued to the field and leaned out and caught the ball all while on a dead sprint. Im not sure I’d call it “great” but it wasn’t just a toe tap either. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing has to be almost routine to win in this league. exactly. Takes 2 to complete a throw and catch. And a better WR corps means more complete passes regardless of Allen's accuracy. Every QB needs a WR to bail him out sometimes. Every good offense has 1-3 of that caliber WR. I've been BEGGING for a good wr these last 2 years. A real top 10 guy. Never KB.

zow2 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 I think the point is this...and was made on the radio this morning as well. The receivers are dropping plenty of balls that should be caught. They are almost never making a catch on a poor throw. They rarely if ever bail out Josh Allen with some great catches. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Allen doesn’t bail them out with more catchable balls. His placement isn’t great and he only has one throw - bullet! Everybody has work to do but people keep wanting to run the WRs into the ground for all their mistakes to give Allen a pass. Everyone realizes that this WR core are all in their 1st or 2nd years, yeah? They’re almost all street FAs too. The fact that I keep seeing people rip Zay for the “drop” against Miami tells me all O need to know. He was mugged by the DB on that play and if he had managed to still come up with the catch despite the PI it would have been amazing. But somehow not coming up with that catch is a “drop” in some posters minds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DabillsDaBillsDaBills Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 It's not hyperbole when we say the Bills have the worst WR corps in the league. Watching prime time games there's almost always at least a couple plays where I'm thinking "Wow, that was a bad pass, but the WR made a great catch. That never happens on the Bills". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troll Toll Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 They don’t have a chance to make great catches because Allen makes them too easy. We need Allen to be less accurate so that we can see receivers attempt great catches. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloHokie13 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 We haven't had a WR that makes plays to help out (read bail out) the QB in a few years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'd be a pretty damn good team if we had 6 Josh Allen's playing every skill position on the field.. kinda cool and sad at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Best Player Available Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 I'm thrilled when a WR actually makes a catch. A great one? nope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
