Asked before...... But any "wow" catches this year by a Bills receiver???

[John from Riverside]

I honestly don’t care about wow patches

 

I want consistency

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

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 

[34-78-83]

Can't think of one besides the already mentioned Kincaid sideline catch vs Tampa.

[LABILLBACKER]

After Diggs, this receiver room drops off the cliff.  And as others have accurately said, they can't even help Josh out on some errant throws.  Other teams get acrobatic catches all the time.

[DapperCam]

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.

low diving types. 

 

thats really it…. 

I don’t disagree, but remember, sometimes is takes a wow move, to get open for the easy catch.  Diggs has several of those so far this year. 

[Pete]

Diggs week 1 jumped high and snagged the football with one hand

[Matt_In_NH]

Not sure but lots of "wow" threads in here recently

[Nextmanup]

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?

 

 

[frostbitmic]

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.

Agreed.  Patches, I'm depending on you, son.

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?"

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....🤣

Cook's drop notwithstanding I do think Josh throwing the ball so hard may limit the number of acrobatic catches we see. 🤷‍♂️

Not every pass is a fastball.  Just stop with that excuse.

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

[Orlando Tim]

Shakir TD was a wow play to me, but recency bias means I don't remember much from before NYG game, and I don't think much since

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.

Again that was not a great catch by Shakir it hit him right in the #'s.  It was a "wow" pass by Allen.

I was more impressed by the run after catch but I don't recall many wow catches in that manner as you describe over the past few years.

You will see more “wow” catches in college for the simple reason that college quarterbacks are by and large not as accurate as NFL quarterbacks.

Allen is so good, his receivers never have the opportunity to make a "wow" reception.🤣

[BuffaloBillyG]

Looks like Dawson Knox had a pretty "wow" catch.

 

No word yet on if he dropped the ring.

[Billsfan1972]

Here's an interesting page I found on penalties.  Buffalo has drawn only 3 PI's all years, but for 85 yards.  

 

https://www.nflpenalties.com/penalty/defensive-pass-interference?year=2023

 

The incredible stat though is Jax.  Only been called for one PI all season, but drawn a league high 15!!!

There we go! Diggs catch yesterday was a “wow” one ✅
