4 drives ended by dropped passes

[Alphadawg7]

Plenty of other factors from injuries to horrific refs that contributed to this loss, but we had 4 drives ended by dropped passes and that’s all in our control.  Would have been 5 too but a penalty negated the play.  
 

Cook, Knox, Diggs, Davis all dropped passes that killed our drives which would have been first downs, with Davis having a second drop for a first down erased off the stat sheet by a penalty.

 

Feels like the only people who showed up to play with any fire today was Allen, Diggs and AJE.  Milano and Daquan get a pass as they were hurt.

 

But the dropped passes in a game where refs were working against us were just killers.

[Dr. K]

Plus . . . penalties!

 

The zebras were out of control. 

[Goin Breakdown]

Penalties sucked and they sure were called against the Bills. Hard to imagine that Jags played "so disciplined"  

[BillsFan130]

The Knox one wasn’t really a drop, but I still fault him for not making a play/creating separation 

 

The diggs one- are you referring to the 1st down pass that Josh threw to the back shoulder?

It may feel that way to you, but it's dishonest crediting Diggs with showing up but not Davis.  Their contributions were nearly identical except the Davis didn't commit a key TO.

 

Man, the Davis hate/bias is strong here.

Kincaid also dropped a ball.  We had a holding penalty, so it didn't matter, but still.  WTF do we drop catchable balls when we play the Jagoffs?  We should have run them off the pitch today.

[Blackbeard]

It’s sucks 4 passes were dropped. 
it happens.  Sometimes it’s a lot.  Sometimes it’s one or two. Sometimes it’s the wr.  Sometimes it’s the throw. 
 

And sometimes drops are rare (see: 48 pts).  

 

and drops happen to all teams.  
 

It’s more normal than you think and doesn’t mean gut everyone.  Dropped balls are part of the game.  No wr catches 100%. 
 

 

gonna go root for our farm team against the dolphins.

I hope the Bills don’t make the same mistake by paying “big play Gabe” as they did with stone hands Knox and sign him long term.

I don’t recall a Diggs drop…

Yes on penalties. Also Josh was off. And the Jags D is good.

He did have one go through his hands on the sideline. And he had a catch taken from him hands.

[SCBills]

The Gabe drop was a killer. 
 

We finally had momentum.  Puts us from being 1st down in FG range, down 4 with plenty of time left, to 3rd and long / punt.

How was Josh off?  His first 4 incompletions were 3 drops and a throw away when OL got blown up.

He overthrew Knox twice. Davis once. He missed Cook on the flat. 

[HappyDays]

Unfortunately Diggs getting the ball ripped out of his hands by a 5'9 CB was the most impactful of them all. I would say bare minimum all of the drops together took at the very least 10 points off the board, and forced a banged up defense to keep coming back on the field. Make no mistake - the Bills skill position players lost this game.

Dishonest?  Davis had a momentum and drive killing drop for what have been a first down.  Then he did it again, except the stat sheet won’t show it because a penalty eliminated the play.  
 

So, I wouldn’t put his game in the same category as Diggs, both his drops were bad.

[billieve420]

Davis was the most egregious drop just terrible. However, the others weren’t easy plays.

[Bookie Man]

Yes. One the more frustrating games I've seen in years. Dropped balls, we kept coming up a yard short on 3rd downs. Reffing.

Oh man, I usually try to say very little about flags/penalties, but today was egregious. I felt like turning my tv off. Anytime we had a momentum play, a flag(or 4) flew down and killed it. It was disgusting.

 

I promise ANY fan of any team would feel this way if it was their team this happened to. I am not blaming the flags alone for our loss, but my god, they played a significat role.

He also had 5 dropped passes and a deep one wrestled away from Diggs.  Allen was the only reason we still had a shot in this game.  The OL stunk and so did the refs too.

His underthrow to Diggs on that deep shot was a guaranteed TD and cost them 7 points as they ended up punting on that drive. The key play in the game and it essentially cost them the win. Allen was not good today until it was too late.
