LabattBlue Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 I’d like to know what constitutes a dropped pass when looking at these stats. There are some who say, “oh he got two finger tips on it, so he should have caught it”. Ummm….no. So unless someone has video to go with every alleged drop, I will continue to be skeptical.

DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 funny all these threads finding everything the team is doing wrong while they sit at 10-3. I think we need to go back to the drought days. maybe then some will appreciate what a winning team is, REGARDLESS of how they won. by one point, 10 or 40. a WIN is a WIN!!! some will just never be satisfied. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't you know that "some" are just better fans than us and demand a better result. I hear that one all the time. Just now, Billz4ever said: The Defense saved the Offense this week.

The ones I saw as drops yesterday: 2x Isaiah McKenzie on 3rd downs; 1x Singletary on a routine screen pass; 1x Knox on the final drive; What was the 5th?

I think the 4 I listed were definitely in the category of a "drop". I wonder what the 5th credited drop was. Rather than, got fingers on a pass didn't reel in.

There was one early on over the middle. where it went through his hands, and I remember because he then looked like his gloves were wet and they showed him trying to dry them off in his pants. Then had that one out in the flat that hit him in the chest. Or am I misremembering? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 (edited) Just been through it... there were 5 drops that is the right number. 2 x McKenzie on 3rd downs (1st Qrtr and 3rd Qrtr) 1 x Singletary on the simple flip pass (4th Qrtr) 1 x Knox (final possession) 1 x Brown (1st Qrtr deep ball) Diggs and Davis no drops yesterday. There was a 3rd potential McKenzie drop negated by a defensive holding. 15 minutes ago, GoBills808 said: The Davis one he couldn't stay in bounds so I think that might count No they gave him that in the end. He was in. 14 minutes ago, teef said: wasn't there a quick slant that he didn't connect with? i was watching my kids during the game and it was not going well. Yea first drive but that wasn't anywhere near him. Josh just missed. 15 minutes ago, Wayne Cubed said: I think Knox had 2?

There was a play in the 4th before his drop where he got fingers on one out to the sideline but the DB got his arm in and deflected it. Definitely not a drop. It was 5. Those 5 I listed. That is still too many mind you. Especially when it isn't like it is a one off and we have been perfect other weeks.

Billsfan1972 Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 (edited) While I don't know the official definition, only very obvious drops are counted, i.e. when coverage is not there and the receiver does not need to make any extraordinary effort to catch or hold onto a ball. I.e. even though John Brown had both hands on the ball and was securing the catch, once the NYJ player's hands knocked it out, that would not be a drop (exact same same with Knox where the ball was jarred loose though he had it secured to his body). Basically you need to hit the player in the #'s and they drop it on their own accord or like Singletary or MacKenzie have two hands securing the ball and drop it with out a Defensive player contacting you. Yesterday there were drops, but also a # of contested catches that need to be made (at least once in a while). 2 hours ago, GunnerBill said: Just been through it... there were 5 drops that is the right number. 2 x McKenzie on 3rd downs (1st Qrtr and 3rd Qrtr) 1 x Singletary on the simple flip pass (4th Qrtr) 1 x Knox (final possession) 1 x Brown (1st Qrtr deep ball) Diggs and Davis no drops yesterday.

I doubt those were called drops. If they were let me know. Can sort below by week and will include week 14 tomorrow. https://www.fantasypros.com/nfl/advanced-stats-qb.php?range=week&week=14 Edited December 12, 2022 by Billsfan1972 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pro Football Reference credited us with 5 yesterday. Those are the 5. Different analytics sites view drops differently. I agree not ever site would include those two. But the thread is tracking as per PFR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
