How many passes has T.O., dropped the past 2 games?
I did not see any drops, but I may have misses one or two, going to the kitchen or the bathroom, or just being distracted by the family.

I believe he is "drop free" the last two games. Don't remember any at least.

Owens has 5 drops. Witten actually has 6. The league leader is Devery Henderson with 8.

some of the things classed as drops are just stupid though, if he has the ball and it comes out then fine that is a drop, but they say balls that have been thrown too high and just touch someone's fingertips are drops? they really aren't.

Witten does have a few drops -- he had some early in the season. But I'm pretty sure several of the six they're counting as drops were off-target throws (thrown behind him, too low or too high), and I think the last one was actually knocked away, not dropped.

Still, he's right near the top of the league again in catch percentage at 67.2 -- 45 out of 67.

I saw TO almost drop one this past game... then he recovered it. Whew!

Isnt Witten getting MORE passes his way this year? Wouldnt that make sense that he has a higher drop # than years past?

More opportunities could lead to more drops.... law of averages

The original poster was referring to the last two games, not the whole season.

I think he has made some difficult catches over the past few games as well. He might have had his best game in regards to some difficult receptions in the loss to the Patriots. He is playing well.

This is shocking and inexplainable.

Don't ever miss any more plays for these lame reasons, or you will have your "fan card" revoked !

:laugh2:

Plus the answer is "0" drops for TO in the past two games.

just being distracted by the family.

You let your family stay in the house during the game??????? I told my wife that it was law that during the Cowboys games, that she and kids must be gone. So shhhhh!

I let mine stay in the house, as long as they KEEP OUT of my basement (except my 10 yr son, he's a budding 'Boys fan)!

Dropped passes can be misleading because they are not an official NFL stat, I believe, so depending on the source you may come up with different results. I know last season I heard/read that Owens dropped anywhere from 13-20 passes; it just depends on where the stats are coming from, I guess!

Those stats are way off.

By my count Witten has 4 drops and Owens has 8.
