Jones' drop last week was the only one that I thought should have been caught. Both Driver's and Jennings' drops were Rodgers' fault. The Driver pass was behind him, and the Jennings pass was a bullet and above his head.

I don't think the pros should be treated differently.

I agree, but I thought that Driver and Jennings both did not get a full hand on the ball? I specifically remember that Jennings looked like he didn't even have the time to get his hands up to meet the ball. I thought the same also happened with Driver to meet the ball behind him?

Well I've looked everywhere to find the clips of those two drops and I just can't seem to find them so maybe I'm remembering them wrong. But the way I remember it both times the receivers got both hands on the ball and it went right through their hands. You don't make excuses. Yeah receivers drop the ball but there is no excuse for dropping it if you get both hands on it cleanly.

Again, if they did indeed have both hands on the ball, then I agree completely, there is not excuse for it.

Well yes, but we're all human. Not every ball is going to be caught. If you expect perfection, you will always be disappointed.

Which is why you have not seen me slam James Jones for dropping the potential 63 yarder, rather I've reasoned with the other possible outcomes. Catches it, stripped/knocked out (Clay style) from behind, etc ...

He dropped, we won, wasn't the end of the world. The sun came up the next morning.

Why'd you have to go and get all reasonable on me? I was looking forward to a nice big argument on a Friday afternoon! Nah, just kidding. We're a little more than 24 hours away from kickoff.

I'm allowed one reasonable comment a month per the details of my contract. The rest of the month, pure unreasonable!

I would bet that if you ask Jennings or Driver, they would say they should have caught the passes. They would say, "tough catch or not, we expect to catch them all."

If you ask Rodgers, he would say he has to make a better pass.

I think they believe that too.

Um, I'd say the receivers played a LITTLE better in Atlanta than they did in Philly. The TD catch by Jones, in particular, was one of the best plays of the season. Jordy was great too. Eight catches for him, including a TD and a bunch of third down conversions.

Here are the numbers:

Jennings 8 for 101
Nelson 8 for 79 and 1 TD
Driver 6 for 76
Jones 4 for 75 and 1 TD
