What's up with all these drops...not just today at GB, but during the course of the season there have been a lot of easy catches that have been dropped...

No, it's just too slippery...

Sit Moss DOWN... He's not 100% and he's hurting us more than helping.

this has been a problem with moss all year, he is the main reason campbell's numbers are bad at times. He has had abysmal hands all year. I would bench him.

Every one of those dropped balls had the right touch. All but two should have been caught. No excuse.

Shame Lloyd couldn't hang on to that deep one... but it would have been a heck of a catch...

Campbell's not the problem. ey didn't have any difficulty making catches. The dropped passes were inexcusable and Moss' fumble was disgusting. Another win down the drain.

Why don't they stick to what's working. how many passes were thrown cooley's way in the 4th?

This is ridiculous, does Farve throw too hard? It is the job of the reciever to catch the ball. The throws were in the right spot. It is just a bad game by our recievers. I dont think they will play like this next week.

This is professional football. Guys are paid millions to make plays. If ey catch it, so should they.

Guys shouldn't be talkin in the media that they want the ball and then dropping key third down passes, Mike Sellers. Right now, the only guys we got right now that are sure handed are ey, ARE, and old man McCardell.

Drops weren't just on offense, Taylor dropped 2 or 3 more Ints. He could have had 4 or 5 in the game. Don't get all riled up, I'm not blaming this loss on the D, they were the reason the Skins stayed in the game, but those other INTs would have been nice.

As it was I can remember the Skins' O dropping at least 4 first downs!

This is a game they literally let slip through their fingers!

Good points. Although I would remind you that ARE had a terrible drop today too on a play that would've gone for a first down. Right now the only guys on this team that I really trust to catch the ball are ey, Thrash, and McCardell. ARE, Moss, Lloyd, and Seller all had drops today. It is ridiculous to hear about how Sellers is lobbying for more playing time and then he drops an easy catch that would've given us a first on 3rd down. What's particularly scary about this is that with all of these injuries it's hard to imagine ey not having to stay in and help block more.

He is a safety, not a wr. He played running back in high school so expecting him to make every int is ridiculous. He caught two, one he dropped after Carlos ran into him and another was a tough over-the-shoulder catch that I doubt any of our "receivers" would've caught. He played a hell of a game, plain and simple.

Rogers didn't lose us this and infact did good coverage .But the fact of the matter is Moss is are play maker and hes not going to have 1000 yards this year or even 6 TD but maybe 800 yards cause hes not happening.Like Portis hes not rushing for 100 yards like he did before.

But JC might want to trow a lil softer cause your right .

I don't necessarily think that he needs to throw softer, I just think that maybe Moss and Campbell need more work together. Then again, JC's throwing could be totally unrelated to Moss' drops. Just a theory on my part.

I mean JC trows is hard as hell in small first down plays.Only trow it hard unless its in for 30 yards but trow slow if no secondary or LB has time to get to the WR.Cause JC sometimes over trows the WR and look what happens.

No, no, Moss has gotten it in his head, he looked horrible out there today. I love Moss but, he needs to get over this, now. I am liking they are getting BL in there. If that bomb was 2 inched shorter he would have had it. Just a horrible loss.

I mean Keenen Mardell is faster than Lloyd can could of gotten that.But where was ARE?.

What a ridiculous, worthless thread.

I was just watching the replay of Redskins Postgame Live and on the show Brian Mitchell was talking about how Moss' problems could be a result of not yet having gotten used to Campbell's velocity after catching balls from MB04 the last few years. Maybe there's actually something to this.

I will re-post this - it seems that some may have not got the hint - this is a pointless thread

The 3rd down play immediately preceding the blown 4th down, for one.

any more after that? And how many were thrown to Sellers, I would think you wanna pound it out with Sellers in wet slippery conditions. Portis was running with half a horse, so was Moss it looked like.

the Packs were bringing a lot of pressure in the 4th. It could be that they kept ey in to help block with our secondary line. Same could be said for Sellers.

I can't say that for sure, I dunno, just trying to think of a possibility as to why they didn't throw to him more.

Me too, I was looking hard, but the protection kept blowing up, so I would think that even if they stayed in, they'd make themselves available to JC while he's running for his life... This was definitely a sub-par performance, but where exactly is "par"?????

Campbell throws the ball too flat on deep routes. He only throws the ball too hard if you're a fairy. I never heard anyone asking if Horeseface Elway threw the ball too hard or if 88 year-old Brett Favre throws the ball too hard.
If the ball hits both hands your job as a receiver is to catch it.
This is truly a ridiculous thread.
