The season started with drops.... the season ended with drops. It's the playoffs, you must catch the ball. Trequan Smith dropped one in his paws. Ginn redeemed himself... but this begs the question - where in the F was Jared Cook all game? He's been lights out the past 4 games but for some reason he sits on the sidelines and shows up late in the 4th quarter, hustles and gets wide open, hauls in some key catches, and then that's it. WE NEEDED HIM THE ENTIRE GAME!

The Brees and Brady both had similar issues, not enough weapons to use.

It’s true.

No becoming a star if you can’t catch a cold.

Forget speed, height, vertical, etc....CATCH the ball

I don’t quite get this.. everything thrown to Cook was caught and he fought for yards... there were some bad balls tossed his way and still came down with them. Can’t catch balls that aren’t thrown.
