Receiver Core had 37 drops this season the 3rd most in the League behind Kansas City and the Browns. San Francisco had 9 drops this season attributing to their success. Statpad my ass, our MVP we’re calling a fraud would have well over 40 TD’s. CeeDee had Diva moments before the Pick Six Interception. Cooks was open on that play. We’re bad enough, no room to Force anything on the offense.
Still need work with our Receivers and Run Game.

I don’t think this is as big of an issue as suggested by this chart. A key contributor is the fact we pass more than almost any other team. Not sure of the exact numbers, but a quick Google search suggested that we were second in pass attempts, and that’s still with a fair amount of blowouts throughout the season. Drops are a part of the game so when you’re passing as much as we are, it’s going to happen. A stat I would be more interested in if it were available would be a drop percentage. That would be more telling of how we compare to other teams.
