Because Pettis has been making clutch catches since before Bailey was even in this league? Because he's been a consistent and reliable target for our carousel of QBs since Bradford got here? Why is everybody acting like suddenly all the good Pettis has done is immediately erased by a bad game? He's made so many clutch grabs before that shit was bound to happen eventually, it's not like he's been Jared Cooking it, people need to relax.Wheres Bailey why is Pettis still here?
If Pettis catches that 2nd down pass on our final drive vs the Eagles I would bet we overcome the biggest deficit in NFL history, yes he has been clutch but that was the opposite of one of his best pros and now I'm starting to wonder if Bailey would of made that catch..Because Pettis has been making clutch catches since before Bailey was even in this league?

For that matter why is everybody acting like Bailey's this god of receiving already? I can agree he flashed some mad potential, but yall need to chill.
It happens, guys are gonna mess up. He messed up, it doesn't undo all the games he pretty much saved for us with his solid hands. I would love to see more out of Bailey, but no need to dig at Pettis who does his job every well and has helped us out big time, especially in the red zone.If Pettis catches that 2nd down pass on our final drive vs the Eagles I would bet we overcome the biggest deficit in NFL history, yes he has been clutch but that was the opposite of one of his best pros and now I'm starting to wonder if Bailey would of made that catch..
I know, I guess it just stings that, that drop ultimately cost us an NFL record in Davis' 3rd start. If we would of picked up the first on 3rd or 4th then no big deal, a drop is a drop, but damn it hurts like a mofo when the game is on the line.It happens, guys are gonna mess up.

Yeah I get you guys, but you just gotta remember the good. Dude's saved a lot of games for us, given we haven't won a lot that means scads. I mean he just got done saving the Bucs game. If there's anybody I say deserves to be gone, it's Givens. He just hasn't improved at all and has stagnated hard since his rookie season.I know, I guess it just stings that, that drop ultimately cost us an NFL record in Davis' 3rd start.

Sadly, Pettis either dropped that ball or landed out of bounds because he's never caught a TD pass against the Panthers.You can't give up on Pettis just yet. He is obviously not our biggest offensive contributor but it only takes one play to change the outcome of a game. One day a catch like this:

Austin Pettis is our Ricky Proehl

Pettit has a hard time getting 10 yards downfield without tripping over his own feet. Yet, I like 3 bigs on the outside. Bailey should be running slot. I don't know where Givens and Austin fit in.Because Pettis has been making clutch catches since before Bailey was even in this league?

He couldn't have saved that many. You could probably count them on 1 finger.Yeah I get you guys, but you just gotta remember the good.

I call BS. Rams fans have put Pettis up on this little pedestal as a "clutch" receiver because of just how BAD the Rams receivers have been up to this year. Pettis is occasionally the one that would make that 3rd down catch and keep what ever pathetic drive we had going but thats all he can do. He has never made yards after catch he simply falls to the ground. Half the time he makes those catches is because nobody ever cared to cover him. Bailey is the true route running and possession receiver to make those plays. HE is the one that should be out there making those clutch plays. he wouldn't have dropped two clutch plays back to back. Have you ever watched a WVU game when he was their with Tavon? They were the college version of the GSOT. Pettis is only even playing cus Bailey got suspended and now some reason they wont play him.Because Pettis has been making clutch catches since before Bailey was even in this league?
