Not saying some mythical McCarron and Pick for OBJ is the answer, but the Bengals' pass catching group is far from fine. LaFell is averaging 39 yds/gm over the last three weeks and Gio is your #3 receiver as far as yardage goes.
It's not coincidence that the Bengals are 2-0 against teams that AJ ran wild on, and 0-2 against teams that could cover him.
They probably drop the ball because they can't believe the line actually protected Andy long enough for them to get open. It's a excitement reflex. Kinda like how when Hill gets a lane and fumbles the ball at the end. When was the last time you said to yourself "man, he has all day to throw back there".
The poor running game and lack of the deep ball is all the proof you need the line isn't giving time for anything to develop down field. Give Andy Palmer 2005 protection and our receivers will be fine. Not AJ freaking Green, but fine.
