buffaloboyinATL Posted December 10, 2018 Posted December 10, 2018 I recall Croom having a catch where he went up and got the ball and made the QB look good, but for the most part, we do not have that.

CincyBillsFan Posted December 10, 2018 Posted December 10, 2018 A better question for this thread would have been: "has any Buffalo WR, TE or RB made a catch worthy of showing over & over again on ESPN"? The answer is ONE and that was the DeMarco garb of a poorly thrown Allen pass on a wheel rout. I do not recall a single other catch by a receiver that wasn't a better pass by Allen then catch by the receiver.

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" That Foster catch was so routine. Any WR worth his salt should make that without us freaking out about how glorious it is he caught it. It's called being aggressive to the ball.. EVERY WR should grab the ball when the DB isn't paying attention.
mjt328 Posted December 10, 2018 Posted December 10, 2018 I don't really care about GREAT catches. I am more concerned about the constant DROPS. Forget making the highlight play. Just make the easy ones, and this team improves by leaps and bounds.

If your characterization of that catch is "DB isn't paying attention", well, you need to watch it again. He simply plays the ball better than Claiborne, who had indeed turned on the ball. Honestly I have no idea why anyone would feel the need to marginalize that play.

Just let that sit in for a bit Sad but true! Josh really did look quite athletic going for it too Edited December 10, 2018 by Jerome007

Imagine game outcomes and Allen's passing stats if both of these things were true: * fewer drops and, * 1 or 2 highlight reel catches a game. Add those things up and what do you have: wins against the Jets & Dolphins and another 75 - 100 yards added to Allen's passing stats.

Not every ball can be a "great catch". If great catches were the norm They wouldn't be "great" I think what he is getting at, and I agree with it, is that QBs around the league look great sometimes because they have great receivers bailing them out. They make circus catches. Ours don't. They can barely make a regular catch half the time. Zay has been better this season though. Edited December 10, 2018 by Scott7975 1

But I certainly believe Clay should have caught the pass in Miami, which would have been a win.

I believe the Jones drop put us in a 3rd and long instead of a 3rd and short and that we failed to convert and had to punt. But the biggest drop for the 2nd week in a row was one by Clay. On 2nd & 7 he drops a nice throw that hit him in stride on a play that looks like it might have gone for 30 yards or more. So instead of 3rd & 7 we would have been deep in Jet's territory. On the next play Allen try's to run and is stripped of the ball which the Jet's recover and convert into a FG. So instead of going up 10 or 14 - 0 in the first quarter it's 7 - 3. That drop WAS a big play given how the game turned out.

I exaggerated our feelings on the play. It's a solid play. The whole point I and I think the guy I replied to was making was this should happen every game such that it's a blip in our memory. We can say "oh yeah.. which Foster grab are you talking about?" Instead we're talking about THE Foster catch of the year. Edited December 10, 2018 by PetermanThrew5Picks 1

transplantbillsfan Posted December 11, 2018 Posted December 11, 2018 Here's what should be a damn standard NFL catch As far as our WR corps goes, If You Build It, Josh Will Excel! 1
26CornerBlitz Posted December 11, 2018 Posted December 11, 2018 This is what I'd classify as a great catch. Haven't seen one like it from the Bills' receiving corps this season. 2

Meanwhile in buffalo if it’s not in stride and in their hands it’s an awful pass. 1
