Has a WR made a great catch this season????

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.

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.

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.

What a ballerina.....  He toe tapped.....  Every receiver in the NFL is taught that.

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.

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.

Yet, every week we see WRs fail at it. It's a great play showcasing great concentration.

 

Why so serious?

 

They obviously need an upgrade at WR. No one's going to argue that.

Why are you asking questions you don’t want answered

Because they're having a bad day and want to whine on the internet.

It was also defensive pass interference that was not called.
