Those preseason drops are starting to look like they meant something.

If I was Burrow i would start to get Boyd involved earlier in the game.. Higgins now has taken over #1 WR.. i just think Boyd give us more options early.. will open the game up for Chase who is starting to struggle

Boyd was starting to feel like the forgotten man in this offense. Over the previous 7 weeks, he had only 35 targets for 23-212-1.
He had 85 yards today on 5 catches. He can make plays if we get him going earlier.

Crazy that the one drop for a TD that turned into an interception not only changed the course of the game but also was a difference in about 30(?) yards or so on Chase’s stat sheet.
He had another drop too. Sad.

I'm starting to question his mental strength... Looks like when things go bad for him, it really gets to him..

That was going for 70 yards. He's gone of he catches that..
I still have no idea how he ****** this up. :facepalm:

He definitely owes us a couple big games down the stretch.

I will say that Tomlin's comments that had some feathers ruffled around here last week are starting to look a little more true.
Speaking of Tomlin, Diontae Johnson had a HUGE problem with drops last year, but he’s had some of the best hands in the league this season (did have one last night though). We just have to hope Chase can do the same.
Chase is currently tied for 4th most drops in the NFL with 7.
Deebo Samuel - 10
Travis Kelce - 9
Cooper Kupp - 8
Chase and DJ Moore - 7
While Chase has been one of the main reasons this team has won some games, he's also been a contributing factor in some losses too.
By no means am I saying he's bad - he's very good - but we'll have to take the bad with the good.

You cant place it any better .. Higgins is the better WR at this point..
Chase is still having a good rookie season, but I think we're all disappointed his fast start has faded.

It's interesting. There are people in the GameDay threads that are starting to bring up the "bust" label towards
Burrow when he makes mistakes and the amount of INTs thrown this year. Yet, none of them say the same when it comes to Chase. As I said, interesting.

He really has been. Over the last 5 games:
Chase: 39 targets for 20-204-2 (5.23 yards per target)
Higgins: 39 targets for 27-442-2 (11.33 yards per target)
Boyd: 27 targets for 19-227-1 (8.40 yards per target)
I remember a lot of talk about Higgins being incapable of making big plays due to lack of speed, but here he is averaging 16.4 yards per catch over this stretch.
I forget who it was, but there was a poster who said Higgins had a low YPC early in the season because Chase was getting all the long targets. That's looking like he was on to something, as Higgins went from 10.2 yards/catch while Chase was balling out, to 16.4 yards/catch during Chase's slide.

Some may, but I've never mentioned a bust label for Burrow.
I think you have plenty of players who are good in some areas but bad in others.
At the end of the day, you can be good and still drop passes.
He does already have almost 1000 yards after only 12 games after all.
That's pretty good.

If anyone uses the bust label for Burrow, they should go ahead and finish that lobotomy procedure.

What you talking about Willis?
Clearly Burrow is following in the footsteps of fellow LSU alum JaMarcus Russell.

Dammit...i never looked at it from that angle.
I don't know about Burrow being a bust but after that game by Ja'marr and with the six sacks, Team Chase should shut the hell up this week.

Quick observation of that list... All those guys are really good to great players.... That get targeted a ton.
