Some aren't, maybe most. But some are..I've seen passes labeled drops on passes when a guy barely gets to the ball. Has to leap and barely gets fingers on it, pass is behind the guy, or gets hit simultaneous when double covered. Those shouldn't be considered drops.

And guess what. It's rated that way across the board. And across the board the Lions have 3% more drops than the league average.

You are a pure fucking Stafford hater if you think they count more drops against only the Lions and not other teams.

Mitch never said they count more drops against the Lions and not other teams. But if his description of drops is "rated that way across the board," then that helps explain why the Lions had so many drops. Guys consistently had to jump and stretch out for Stafford's passes because he was off-target more often than many QBs this year. If a drop is considered a drop if it hits any part of a guy's hand, then they need to reclassify a drop.

I am curious how they do it. I know in baseball you dive after a ball touch it but miss error. Stare at it while it drops, don't touch it - hit. For the most part.

I can't imagine the nfl is like that but sometimes I wonder.

It`s all subjective, the NFL does not officially record dropped passes so it is all on what the publication or media outlet determines. Most though record it as any ball that was thrown to that intended reciever and is not tipped or deflected, hits them in both hands not just one, and is not caught.

I've seen a lot of tough ones where a WR dives for it with two guys draped on him, both hands touch it and drops. Not all created equal..Maybe they should do what baseball does, when a WR makes a great catch give him a + or ++ play.
 
Durham only played so much due to 3 injuries. Burleson, Broyles and Titus. He's a big target, has chemistry, you take a flier on a guy like that on the waiver wire for sure.

a flier? hes going on being here for 3 years and getting considerable play time each week...every year. nice job mayhew.
