    We’re leading the league in them :facepalm:

    It’s in their head now, too. Not going to be easy to overcome it.

    I'm tired of seeing WR's smiling after dropping a very catchable ball too

    That’s embarrassment, it’s a reflex.

    Remove the drops and the ravens game is a blowout and potentially still have bud, and I think we potentially would win vs Washington.

    Drops is a direct reflection of preparation by the WR's. Losing coach Drake is probably the reason. No different than the drop off we saw when Coach Munchak left.

    I cannot remember the last time we had drop issues from our WR's. We typically took it for granted our WR's had good hands.

    Forget running routes these receivers just need to work the jugs machine the whole time. Throw dry balls, wet balls, over inflated balls deflated balls lol balls with grease balls with peanut butter, two balls at once.

    JuJu was definitely pissed, no smiling from him. I think they are all getting mad with the drops now.

    It appears to my eyes that our offensive strategy is the main culprit for these drops....
    Our receivers don't adjust quickly enough on these short quick passes.... In ebron's case, he tends to make spectacular catches when he's targeted down field and has time to concentrate... All the short quick passes when he doesn't have time are the times he has his drop issues and dionte and juju are the same... The majority of the receiver drops happen because they are participating in the wrong offense

    It's going to be tough for DJ to take that crown with Ebron's recent performance.
    It could come down to the wire...

    how many of those drops were on third down and we needed more yardage than the catch would have gotten us anyway. I'm tired of that quick out pass that gets stuffed behind the line for a loss. Or a pass that picks up 2 yards. I don't think even eliminating those drops last night would have made much difference. We are continually throwing 4 yard passes on third down when we need 6 or 7 yards.

    These drops also seem contagious, when Ebron dropped the 1st one, I said here we go again. Then Dontae drops one or two and Ebron drops a couple of more. :facepalm: Even Claypool looks shaky and dosen't seem to catch passes cleanly anymore.

    i think Diontae has more drops over the past two games than AB had during his entire career here.

    Dionte Johnson is dynamic and can get open, we all see it. The issue with him is he makes mistakes in every game he plays in, I don't think he has a game without some kind of mistake. I think it gets glossed over because he goes back an out and redeems himself but one day it will cost the team a game. I honestly think Tomlin needs to sit him at some point, maybe Ray-Ray McCloud could take his spot.
