I also don't necessarily agree with your perception that we drop more balls than other teams based on watching other teams (last year maybe but even then it wasn't a stark difference). I see a ton of drops watching other games. Sure, they are primarily noticeable on bad teams and with bad WRs, but even the great teams suffer from them. It is just that when you drop a 10 yard pass on 2nd and 8 and then complete a 10 yard pass on 3rd and 8, no one remembers the drop. If you drop a 10 yard pass on 2nd and 8, then go deep and miss on 3rd and 8 and punt, then everyone says "man that dropped killed us."
