At one point in the first half there were 7 dropped passes. Ky and maybe NW games we can overcome but when we start playing Fl and Bama that can really hurt chances of victory.

Maybe we need JJ in?

Russell shepard needs to step up his game. He had a dropped pass in back to back possessions that could have given us a first down. Granted the passes didn't have the best placement but that's why he's out there..to catch whatever is thrown his way. I'm sure he will improve and step up for the Florida game bc he is a playmaker

my prescription for that is ODell Beckham JR. this kid doesn't drop em, and it's infectious.

Have you ever watched the receivers for Baylor?

RG3 had an amazing stat of more TD's than incompletions until this weekend. Not one of those receivers were good enough to play for LSU coming out of HS and they catch everything they touch.

JL would have a completion % above 70% if he had guys that knew how to go get the football. It's time for these guys to step up and catch the ball or put someone else in the game. There needs to be accountability for dropped passes. I have to believe that Boone and Wright are better than RS at catching the ball. It doesn't matter who's faster.

I'm pretty sure didn't drop any passes vs wvu, but he played awful yesterday.

you guys are throwing the WR's under the bus?

Cause shep has to jump 3 feet in the air to get a ball and hits his hand but he still drops it? that is still a bad pass.

You have got to be kidding.
On 6 or 7 plays our receivers made John Kerry look like Fred Biletnikoff.

there were some drops, and there were some bad passes.

Our QBs bring down our WRs not the other way

If they don't fix this before November 05, they need to stay home and save the gas. All cylinders MUST be firing to beat Bama.

So, for example, Lee should anticipate Randall giving up on a fly route and after the ball is in the air, should change the trajectory to hit him in the helmet. Man I don't know what game you were watching.

These receivers are catching everything that is dead on the numbers. However, it seems like if the pass is above the eyes or little behind, they just don't catch them.

I have no idea what to say about receivers completely stopping on routes. I think we would have had 6 easy if Randle wouldn't have completely stopped and then tried to start again.

Lee's placement is miles ahead of anyone we've had in a while. Just having the receivers only catch the balls that are gift wrapped is getting a little old.

It's a bit of both. The dropped passes were a bit frustrating. Some passes were bad, but some of the ones that were dropped were catchable balls.

You can use one example or you can acknowledgethe body of work that everyone has seen with their own eyes for the last 3 1/2 years. Neither Lee or JJ are particularly good qbs

Lee has improved but isnt playing at an all-sec level. JJ hopefully has improved but I doubt he would be playing any better than Lee is right now
