Maybe the problem isn't the damn guy next to Ellis.

I vote Ellis and Dave Thomas (the holding penalty on Hartley's field goal attempt was fatal, just can't happen).

The drops are killing us. I don't understand it. I'm no football pro in any way, shape, or form, but how can an entire team suddenly forget how to catch the ball like this?

One drop would have been a TD, another would have kept our final drive going; either one possibly winning the game for us. It is so frustrating.

Lance only had about 70 yards but he had to have 5 catches I think

Colston had like 9-10 catches today

What? Dev hasn't done didly poo

Absolute best line

Moore can make a remarkable catch on one play and look like a complete fool on the next, Graham was a non factor in the second half for the most part. Colston, I thought was okay, but dropped some balls too. I;m surprised, I would have thought our receivers would be graded in the A range, but i'd say C at best. As a group, backs and TE's included our recievers are just average right now. That's pretty dissapointing to me, the defense, I expected to be questionable during the transition, but the one area I thought I could count on was our recieving corpse.

Colston had 9 catches for 153 yards and a TD
Moore 7 for 67
