I had this argument all day at the bar before this game. Excellent NFL teams have, at least, one 6-4 WR or TE! For some reason, OBD continues to ignore this fact... one I’ve been harping about this entire Millennium! Brady does fantastic with short receivers. The short receivers are getting open. Josh's throws need to be more consistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LABILLBACKER Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 3 drops already tonight. One leads to INT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prickly Pete Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Brown's drop was definitely him hearing footsteps. Alligator arms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billsfan1972 Posted December 16, 2019 Author Share Posted December 16, 2019 (edited) Maybe only 1-2 will be called a drops. Others would have been nice catches. Brown & Beasley for sure. DiMarco should have caught one too (should too have been a better pass). The Interception should have been a better pass, but just as often is caught.

Billsfan1972 Posted December 16, 2019 Author Share Posted December 16, 2019 As expected, no drops week 14..... I counted at least two (Beasley & Brown on Third downs)...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But has been updated & the Bills have played 14 games, which is what i was checking. I thought Brown dropped one (short armed it).

T master Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Some of the drops are due to the WR's being short, last night the one over the middle to Beasley that hit his hands & was deflected would have been caught if it was Duke going across the middle just a fact ! I really think they need to have him on the field rather than Mckenzie sure Mckenzie may be faster but last night alls I saw him do was block & if Duke can't block better being 6'3" than Mckenzie & if he can't grab the ball at a high point better than Beasley i don't know who can ! I think the drops would be less & red zone better with 1 change JMHO !! Go Bills !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott7975 Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Statistics sites don't view drops the same way fans do. Most fans opinion, including my own, say if it hits the hands its a drop. Statistics sites don't do that. It has to be a drop that is 100% on the receiver who had to only make ordinary effort to catch the ball. It pretty much means if the ball wasn't on the numbers it isn't a drop. If a defender is mugging the receiver it isn't a drop. If he had to bend in any fashion or extend his arms or toe tap or dive... anything of the sort, it isn't a drop. Pitch and catch on the numbers is the only thing they will record as a drop.

Billsfan1972 Posted December 16, 2019 Author Share Posted December 16, 2019 And also if a receiver short arms a ball (like Brown did) it is not a drop or the third down to Beasley that was a perfect throw but Beasley had to reach for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
