Billsfan1972 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Drop after drop and have to ask the question as to has a receiver made a great catch all year? Don't say Holmes on that 77 yd td as it hit him right in the hands. I'm talking a catch where the receiver is laid out or caught it with one hand or out-muscled a DB. I think Holmes did adjust to one ball this year to make a nice catch with the DB tring to bust it up. As said before, these receivers are just awful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Zay made a pretty one on the sideline recently. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billsfan1972 Posted December 10, 2018 Author Share Posted December 10, 2018 (edited) Neither were great catches. They were catches. I mentioned the Holmes catch as I knew someone would say that. Zay kept his feet in bounds and congrats that he didn't bobble the ball. He is paid to make catches like that. I'm talking a wow catch. BTW the over-turned catch the last minute vs. the Dolphins was classic Zay. He made a good play and then bobbled it and it hit the ground. Every week you see Thomas on NO, Antonio Bryant, Hill, Hopkins or Julio and countless others making great catches. Would be nice to see just one by a Bill.

LeGOATski Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Zay made a great catch and toe-tap on the sideline just last week... For as terrible as Benjamin was, he also made a couple great catches. As hard as it may be to trust these guys, Allen still has to give them a few more opportunities per game. And also take the check down when its there. Frustrating to watch sometimes, but he's a rookie. I think it should click next year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1st Ammendment NoMas Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 I see your comments and raise you a big "no". The aforementioned catches were good, but not consistent. Every receiver can have a moment. I had mine back in the day. But there was a reason I did not go pro or even to a D1 college program. Consistent great catches, the ability to get separation at the next level. The ability to put a game on my shoulders with a "just get the ball to me" mentality. Cooper is flashing what a true #1 does to an offense. How a great WR can change a game. And his team didn't want him. Not one of our receivers can even be a solid #2 on any other NFL team. We've got some borderline #3's, mostly #4's and guys that would not even be on another roster. Yeah McKenzie, Foster and Zay are showing a little progress, but someone has to be the recipient. We need help at WR and none of these guys is a viable #1 WR. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyBatty is alive Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 The Zay sideline catch the week before was not a "great" catch, no way, not by NFL standards, that was a catch that is expected to be caught, as was Foster 75 yards TD bomb, it was not a difficult catch at all. I know exactly what the OP is is getting at and I have said it all year long..each and every week we see these incredible catches on highlights reels, they are common place now, you dont see any that I can recall from the Bills. Another indication our WRs, TEs suck. A great catch would be one late in yesterday's game in the end zone almsot out of bounds, with a defender on the receiver in the end zone...naturally we didnt hold onto it. 1 1 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...

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.

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...

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...
