Blaming Haley for drops? God God Almighty. The man is a top flight receivers coach who is now a head coach. To hang this on Haley is ludicrous. We have a top flight O line coach. Blame him for the sacks. Come on.

D Bowe was playing football loooong before Haley became coach…Its Bowe, not Haley!…Its a concentration problem and thats why Haley was in his ass so much….He has a problem of wanting to turn and run before he secures the catch…. will also say that he would probably have at least 10 more catches but Cassel has overthrown or underthrown or threw behind him several times….some of them would have been huge plays too…

But, as everyone knows, the o line hardly ever give the QB enough time to let a play develop and this can play a role in dropped balls too. If your running a route and the QB has to get rid of the ball faster than expected, the reciever is thrown off his timing and the ball is not where he expects it to be. But, as an NFL reciever, if the ball hits you in the hands youre supposed to catch it.

the Chiefs need work on almost every part of the team. the blame can’t be put on just one part.

if you want too. Its convenient isn’t it? Of course those drops will weigh in on how well Haley is doing to a point, just like if Ryan Succop misses a field goal or if Legget misses another tackle or the entire team wins 4 games.

Aside from that, saying that any receiver dropping the ball is the head coaches fault is kind of ludicrous. What could he do? Bench the guy? Oh wait I think he tried that… Hmmm… Well he could bring every half dead receiver that hits free agency and try and create some competition… Wait I think he tries out every receiver that his played a down in his life already!

Well whats this guy supposed to do about drops again!?

Tell me cause I really want to know. So far the only thing hes done wrong with the receivers is keep Terrence Copper around. But then again, when you have the guys the Chiefs have, even Terrence starts looking good after awhile.

You think Bowe is blaming his coach he’s dropping balls? “Coach I can’t believe you didn’t teach me to catch that ball.” This is the NFL, you are supposed to be able to catch the ball when you get here. If you don’t you won’t get drafted. Sure there are quirks and some things that are teachable, but most of that technique isn’t going to magically make you catch the ball. It is just willpower and focus. Focus on the catch before you run, focus on the catch not the hit. Bobby Wade has drops because he isn’t as used to running crossing routes and getting hit running the middle of the field (in my opinion). Those guys need to be magical and fearless. Bowe is Bowe. Either he will get better or he won’t. Maybe drops will always be a part of his game (god I hope not). In the end you can blame whoever you want, but the ball didn’t just hit Todd Haley in the hands.

Start blaming the guy who drops the ball, trust me he is blaming himself and only himself just like you and I do when a ball hits us in the hands and falls to the ground.

Sorry for the length.

I think the drops are just a much the receiver’s fault as the erratic play off the rest of the offense.

If this team could manage to field a five to six decent series per game instead of going three and out or trying to keep the QB upright..we’d probably see some more consistency from the WRs.

Offenses aren’t designed for your QB to be running for his life one second after he receives the ball. It’s the WRs responsibility to help his QB. He’s got to break off his route and adjust to the pressures around him as well as try to concentrate on where the marker is, sidelines, opponents, etc.

Bowe is better than we give him credit for here. He’s not going to be an All-Star on a team that can’t field a decent offensive series. Randy Moss is an All-Star WR who found no success in Oakland. Same logic applies here. Blame Bowe all you want..but his drops aren’t going to improve until this offense improves. That is Haley’s job.
