There were easily 4 & pretty sure 6 drops on Sunday. Zay 2, The Clay one and McCoy in the backfield off the top of my head. Now how about giving JA credit for getting 2 long PI calls (something our other QB's never seem to draw) and at least 2 more roughing the passer calls.

The OP as said missed the egregious Clay drop and then in his final assessment didn't acknowledge throwaways or drops. If I am correct there were 5 perfect passes dropped. Not every throw is right on the money. That alone disqualifies this thread.

How many times has it been mentioned that it was a perfect pass an d hit him in the hands. A catch 95%+ of NFL players should make. Yes a little bit of a jump. Not a great catch. What it was, was an incredible play by JA in the face of 3 rushers.

The fact you missed the Clay drop pretty much makes the rest invalid. He made some really nice throws, some bad ones too. The First INT was terrible and the last pass not very good either. What I didn't see was him missing any wide open receivers along with throwing some darts. The first half I remember at least 4 drops on perfect passes and certainly Zay another one in the second half. Add to that very few dump offs or passes behind the line of scrimmage. Below is the pass chart for all QB's. https://nextgenstats.nfl.com/charts/list/pass I too can blame progressively worse playcalling as the game went on (or better play by the Jets D).

Exactly what I thought when it was caught. Actually there were two catches on that drive that the Bills haven't made all year. Nothing close to that this year.

Watching a lot of Bills games huh?

Why did it take 24 hours to acknowledge what pretty much everyone saw? Geez knew Alex Smith's break in under 2 hours...... Was McD playing games with the Lions?

And I called him Holmes (as said receivers almost interchangeable). That Foster catch was a catch that I made 1,000 times playing with friends as a kid. Run put your hands up and ball hits you in hands. How low are Bill's fan's standards.

Yep he made an adjustment and made the catch, which is expected when the DB didn't see the pass. AB make that catch every single week. Bills are so beaten down that as another poster stated that just catching the ball one goes "wow" Really????? How many TD passes do we see where one is convinced the receiver is OB and then see the footwork. Happens all the time and often game changers. Case in point yesterday. Clay catches that easy pass over the middle & runs for 20 more yards (vs. Allen fumbling the next play) and you don't think it matters?

Was it PI??? Maybe and seen it called plenty, but certainly was not a mugging. Zay made a great play, got both hands on the ball (and underneath) but as per usual with Bills receivers then bobbled it and it was overturned. It was a perfect pass and he caught it. Nothing more, nothing less.

Admittedly I think he may have caught a few 50/50 balls, but as you said all the drops made me forget.....

No I want a great catch and 13 games into the season, haven't seen one......

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

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.

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.

He costs us a lot of games as his philosophy does not work in today's game. He plays for 3 point games and sucks the fun out of football. The Bills should have won by 14, but again conservative coaching, drop after drop and special teams killed them. But for those fixated on the draft, I guess this is the result you wanted.

4 drops now. Or more

uh? perfect pass in stride.

Oops meant to add that this could stunt Allen's progression in the first year. This was the whole notion that you have a veteran presence to help groom the #7 pick, not a QB you are hoping will be starter in the future (as McD I was convinced though of NP). Sure tell me I'm wrong and debate that NP was only a stop gap or short-term solution, and he wasn't being shoved down our throats. Schoop missed the point being made, which is often the case when it doesn't meet his narrative.

He is an intellectual goof, trying to lord his mental acumen over callers. Some of his comment are incoherent and not cogent, but he revels in the fact his lap dog (oops bulldog) is there shaking his head in agreement. I called in the pre-season concerned that NP starting was due to McD wanting to prove that he was right about NP and the media and fans were wrong. Schoop couldn't comprehend the basis for that argument. What it exemplifies is if one questions his train of logic you are dismissed and debate is not part of his repertoire. Sure don't anoint Allen yet, but acknowledge the game he played Sunday.

He caught the ball along the sidelines and kept his feet in bounds. Last year I remember him on an out not tapping the second foot on an easy catch and being out of bounds. Yesterday he had a good sense of the sideline and did a good job. Was it a great catch? No a good one on a great throw from the end zone on the run.

The clock was stopped, there was plenty of time to make a call and with a time out too for a quick 5 yard completion.

Thanks for reminding me in his rookie season he not having the ability to tap his toes. Yesterday it was a perfect pass that he caught and tapped his tows. Both TD's were perfect throws too. I'm talking making a difficult catch, adjusting where needed, getting up in the air, taking it out of the defenders hands or absorbing a hit while catching. Don't remember those.

Should have caught that third & 11 pass at the end & also another tough catch (but catchable) ball was dropped ...... Seen so many receivers hold on or make those catches. Always 2 steps forward, 1 step back with him. I actually can 't remember a great catch he's made.

Actually how about examples where McD used the clock well, made a good challenge and trusted the offense?
