Billsfan1972 Posted December 10, 2018 Posted December 10, 2018 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. 1
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted December 10, 2018 Posted December 10, 2018 Zay made a pretty one on the sideline recently. 4
Freddie's Dead Posted December 10, 2018 Posted December 10, 2018 Robert Foster's 75 yd TD was an awesome catch. 15
Billsfan1972 Posted December 10, 2018 Author Posted December 10, 2018 (edited) 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.

LeGOATski Posted December 10, 2018 Posted December 10, 2018 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. 1
row_33 Posted December 10, 2018 Posted December 10, 2018 nothing memorable to forget TE Clay and Zay butterfingering a pass right into their hands the last two weeks 1

Every receiver in the NFL is taught that.
1st Ammendment NoMas Posted December 10, 2018 Posted December 10, 2018 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. 5
RoyBatty is alive Posted December 10, 2018 Posted December 10, 2018 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. 1 1

26CornerBlitz Posted December 10, 2018 Posted December 10, 2018 There hasn't been a single one this season that I can recall. 1
RiotAct Posted December 10, 2018 Posted December 10, 2018 yes, lots of wide receivers have made great catches this season!!! Unfortunately, only one or two for the Bills [rimshot] 1

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. 4 minutes ago, Joe in Winslow said: 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's a tough catch. you said it, tough- not great. Every #1 WR in the league should make that catch. Theilen and Diggs do it 2-3 times per week.
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted December 10, 2018 Posted December 10, 2018 (edited) Man..... people want everything and NOW. Not every ball is caught. Not every ball can be a "great catch". If great catches were the norm They wouldn't be "great" Edited December 10, 2018 by ShadyBillsFan
