Doesn’t a “wow” catch typically mean the ball wasn’t super accurate and the receiver had to make some sprawling adjustment to catch it? 
 

I feel like having to do that isn’t what you’re going for. 


Sometimes and all qbs have those throws 

 

other times the window where your guy can make a play is a tough catch on an intentional throw

I honestly don’t care about wow patches

 

I want consistency


There are a few excellent consistent teams. To win it all you usually need a few moments of “did that seriously just happen” that work for you, as there will also be a few that work against you

Davis had a TD where it was a laser away from his body and he plucked it out of the air with his hands. Can’t remember which game, but it was difficult.

 

Shakir’s catch and run obviously.

 

Opposing WRs have made 5 more impressive catches for TDs than our most impressive catch in any situation. Definitely a down year for that group.

Again Shakir's catch & run was more "How did Allen stick that laser beam into such a tight window and hit Shakir between the #'s?"

I remember a catch by Diggs, early in the year, in the open field but Josh threw the ball way too high and Diggs went way up and somehow got it.  Thought it would be overthrown for sure.

 

Anyone remember that one?

 

 

I do.  Yep one.....😜

I'd say the one last week to Diggs was a wow catch ... Diggs was surrounded by Eagles flapping their wings and the ball was so low it almost hit a battery that was thrown onto the field.

 

👍👍 to both Diggs and Allen on that one.

That is a great (as I say "wow") throw and just a nice catch.  Yes Diggs is the best receiver on Buffalo, but any pro receiver should make that catch.

Actually I can think of a few by Gabe Davis.  I can think of 3 where he speared an absolute rocket that was out in front of him that he grabbed on a dead run.  Then there was one at the 2 yard line in a comeback attempt with no room at all at the sideline.

 

As someone above mentioned, it's more a consistency problem with Gabe.  He also has some wow drops.

Here we go again, blaming Allen's fastball???? I guess the perfect fastball Gabe deflected resulting into a Denver int, would have been a wow catch?

 

Catching a sideline pass in bounds is what is practised. All pro receiver catches and little else. AJ Brown, Ceedee Lamb, Justin Jefferson and countless other receivers are having a good laugh....🤣

Watching other teams highlight by nature will skew towards thinking highlights are more common elsewhere. 
 

We haven’t had a ton of acrobatic catches but I do think sometimes we take for granted that catching some of joshs lazers coming through crazy windows can still be extraordinary on the receivers part. 
 

 


Opposing defenses don’t seem to have any trouble with them

Sure name them and let's see highlights/clips.  Really I am curious.


lol, you think I care enough about this topic to go find specific plays over 3/4 of a season and post them here to counter peoples over the top negativity?  
 

Yeah, hard pass lol

Seem to ask this every year but we're 12 weeks into the season and I have yet to see a catch by Bill's receiver and go "wow".  Am I being too tough on the receiving Corps?

 

Maybe Diggs 1-2, but can't think of any.

 

Of course watching other teams' highlights, I seem to see them over and over again.

 

Conversely we see passes that Josh Allen makes and go "wow" but as said not seeing the same from a receiver making a play and bailing out the team

 

This could just be a Bills bias, so just wondering.

No.  I saw more “wow” catches in the two college games I watched this weekend.  Bills receivers rarely do more than what’s expected, and frequently they do less.
