Jimmy Graham did let that ball go right through his arms and has shown poor effort on a bunch of slightly off target balls.

Graham's completed 77.4% of his targets so far this season.

By comparison....

Emmanuel Sanders 75.7%
Dez Bryant 74%
Roddy White 71.4%
Keenan Allen 70.5%
Julio Jones 69.6%
Alshon Jeffery 66.6%
A.J. Green 66.6%
Randle Cobb 66.6%
Brandon Marshall 65%
Eric Decker 64.2%
Jordy Nelson 62.1%
Steve Smith 58%
Calvin Johnson 55.8%
Jememy Maclin 50%
Michael Floyd 50%
Demarius Thomas 48.1%
Rob Gronkowski 47.8%

...definetely taking some plays off

Also, he's tied for the most 1st downs in the league
2nd in the league in receptions among all receivers
ranked 4th best run blocker among all tight ends
9th in yards among all receivers

Hard to believe he can find time to take plays off.

I just don't understand how anyone can say they're equal in blame.
Well when you cherry pick one play per game you can support any assertion, lol....

Our offense has run over 60 plays, I think, in every game You're right, I don't think TOP is the issue
