http://www.sportingcharts.com/nfl/stats ... tage/2015/Giants are 2nd, Rams were 21st last year. Also we have the least amount of targets, though of course our small amount of plays per game and bye week play into that.
This is another stat that doesn't seem to tell you much.
The teams with the lowest drop percentages are:
Seattle
SD
Buff
Det
Balt

I'm certainly nor surprised though. What if Cooks plays are removed from the equation?

I wonder what Foles stats would look like if we were the middle of the pack?

This has been a problem for a few years now. I mean, "excuse".

I really don't think it's much of a factor.
The Giants, Falcons, and Texans are in the top 5 in dropped passes and they're all top 10 passing teams.
The Seahawks and Bills are #1 and #3 in least drops and they're both bottom of the barrel in passing...

I agree.
Its an excuse.
Didnt have a problem with the drops after they won, and last week if only "drops" were the problem.

I'd actually like to see the stats on Drops-in-key-situations. My guess is that we'd have many more drops in 3rd-and-long situations than the Giants, Falcons or Texans. And I'd bet money that Cookie leads the league on 3rd-down drops that would have converted to a 1st down had they not been dropped.

Just Cook has dropped a TD each of the last 2 games and at least 4 3rd down conversions I can remember. His drops seem to stand out in my mind at least more than the others.

Is he targeted more? He is most skilled,, Just not at catching
