Default No props for the receivers?

I saw a lot of great catches today, low balls, balls behind them etc.

Of course Thomas had a great game and a great TD catch. And we expect Troy to make great adjustments.

But Childress comes in cold makes a great catch and isn't even in the stat sheet, (2).

Kight, Caldwell and Gaffney made some great adjustments also.

Is it because Deion dropped 4 passes, or the receiver and QB tilted Colts lost to the Texans?

Y'all love to slam the receivers, how about a little credit for a change?

Sure no problem as soon as you take back the Vinni comment and give credit to J Mcd. It works both ways you know. I don't see how you can slam Mcd then want props for the WR.

Are you that dumb?

That was a joke.

Here, you can save some of these for later.

Yt was a big team win and yes, the receivers did great..there were all kinds of balls thrown low, high and to the side...as well as right at them. The short game was working great and a new weapon was unveiled...D Thomas..just when they thoughht they didn't have to worry about TEs with Ben out!!!
I also think the next one will be the long ball AND that is so great that this is happening now..any coincidence??

They showed great patience and rhythm in their offense.

Being able to march down the field and move the chains will eventually open up the long game, but the timing takes a little longer on that type of pass.

People seem to "remember" Brady throwing long bombs all the time, but he took years to develop that with the receivers who left.

No mistake, no turnovers a solid defensive game, that's the foundation.

A couple TD bombs here and there are the cherry on top.

My sentiments, exactly. When an offense has so many guys who can catch and hold onto balls that are coming at them from so many different angles and such, that's great concentration and preparation on the part of the receivers. Natural talent can get you separation, but it is cool head and mental preparation that makes the reception. Good job receiving corps !!

You can count me in for giving the receivers full props. Brady was getting roughed up all game and many of his throws were off. But the receiving core gave him one of his finest games of the year.

With this kind of offense established, we can contend.

A lot of it's just confidence derived from hard work in practice.

I hope we see one more guy develop a real sympatico with Brady, (Gaffney?), but we might have to settle for each new guy perfecting a limited amount of routes.

It looks like we've got a bunch of good soldiers, anyway, performing their assignments and catching the damn ball!

I don't care who is calling the plays, I just care that they continue to do what they've been doing the past two weeks.

The receivers were great. Gaffney is coming along rather nicely. I can't believe no one picked this guy up right away after the Eagles released him.

All the receivers did a great job yesterday.

That's what they are supposed to do. That's just doing their job. We haven't seen them do that with any kind of consistency all season. About time guys stepped up and met their QB half way. I really like Thomas because after the game he mater of factly said just that. Good receivers have to make plays for a great QB, period.

"The safety split and Tom put it in a spot where I could get it. It was a great throw by him and you just have to catch those." Have to.
