Doesn't it? Why not? Ball speed, angle, timing has no effect on a new receiver?

Because this isn't golf and many of the dropped passes weren't thrown behind, too high, too low, or too far in the front... they were hit in the hands and dropped the ball.

All of that has to do with whether a thrown ball is catchable, not whether a receiver can catch a catchable ball.

If anything, a receiver being new weighs in a lot heavier on a QB than the receiver, you have it backwards.

Receiver corps really blew this game.

Passing game looked a hell of a lot like it did in Winstons first couple of games with all the drops. I have to believe that part will get corrected. If we had a true number one Wr and a TE our defense, special teams, and running game are all good enough to compete with anyone. It was a division game, **** happens.

Washing both Saints jerseys tonight after the Falcons W. Easiest decision of the weekend.

It might be better to sanitize your eyeballs with a hot pitchfork. Lol

So were you the jinxer in chief along with Halo?

I guess if they were used to a soft pass then you throw it to them with mustard every time. But....I don't think that's the issue. Lol.

You may be right but imo there is no excuse for 8 dropped passes. Good hell. That's bs.

Fair enough brother, let's keep our heads up, OK?

I didn't get to see the second half, but from what I saw in the first half Siemian didn't look bad. Too many drops. Is that how the second half played out?

Also, I think of Trautman as the anti-Jimmy Graham. Trautman can block, but not catch.
