Pick 6 was 100% on Mingo

100% on Bryce.  Slow delivery, stared down his target, late on the throw, no zip on the pass, did not lead his man.  So how is this not Bryce's fault again?

This. OP hurts his very own argument with the photo because he's too hyperfocused on Mingo. That DB is STARING at Bryce and Bryce is STARING at Mingo. Dude knew exactly where that ball was going and jumped the route.

Even if he led Mingo to the 0 in the 30, at worse it's a PBU.  You can't be late on crossing routes. Absolute QB suicide.

It was on Bryce, but Mingo isn't very good right now which doesn't help this whole situation either. Bryce just lacks the arm strength to jam it into tight windows. We are going to have to go with some good effing route runners that Bryce can throw to with more timing and anticipation. His 50/50 balls have been very disappointing so far.

This is what I’ve noticed. He is starting to stare down his first reads and not going through progressions like he was earlier. It’s regression…

A lot of posters in this thread showing their lack of football knowledge. OP is correct.
 

When Bryce is separating to throw, Tremble is not open. Mingo runs the route incorrectly. If Bryce waits until Tremble comes open, he’s getting pummeled bc our line can’t pass block. 
 

We have posters here that think you can screen shot the moment the ball reaches the receiver and use it to see who is open. That’s idiocy.

The closer it gets to the sidelines the smaller the window gets.

I know.  Believe me, I've harped at length about Bryce's accuracy beyond the numbers.  It's abysmal.  I mean, if he doesn't have the velocity to drive the ball inside the numbers, beyond them is even a bigger feat.

Leave Bryce alone!

If Mingo holds his route, his body is a shield between the defender and the ball. Similar to stacking a db when going vertical. As soon as he drifts upfield the db can now play the ball however he wants.

But this throw was outside the numbers and would have hit Mingo in the chest…

The pick was on Bryce. Bryce has to lead Mingo more - period. Throw it out of the reach of the DB and let your WR go get it. Great play by the DB though, he really closed on the ball - he's done it 3 other times this season. And yes, a little more velocity was warranted there. 

Mingo... you always work back to the ball if you can. That's the rule. Catch the ball at it's highest point and work back to the ball. Particularly, never run away from the ball on a crossing/comeback route, and definitely not against man coverage. And... become the DB when you have a threat of an interception. At least touch the guy when he's on the ground. 

Bryce has to take more deep shots too. Take them early and often. He's becoming predictable. It's like a basketball player that's afraid to shoot the ball and always passes instead. Eventually you start to play him for the pass instead of the shot.

Did Strachan play today? Don't remember seeing him. Was looking for him.

You don't think DBs can get in front of a WR who is shielded? Especially when they know the ball is coming their way? They're pros too.

    • Trade up for a project was dumb, he's gonna be 25 next month. By the time you're deciding on whether he's worth the 5th year option or a big contract you're already gonna be thinking about moving on soon either way.  
    • I mean this is legit AF statement....you don't spend that draft capital on a project just like you don't trade up for an injured RB either, which was done in the same draft.  That draft IMO was a necessary evil for DM to learn from his mistakes (I think he did but some may not). Also I have to mention I'm a big Coker fan and think getting him as an UDFA was obv a steal.  Coker is the better WR2 at this point as Legette and its not even debatable unfortunately.  Give him year 3 but don't expect much from him.  Continue in the offseason with adding as much talent and competition on the roster as possible including WR.  Or just trade his ass for peanuts and continue to build roster by any means.......  
    • Losing him was a huge loss. Look at how the Bears went from a 5 win team to now a 11 win team. The Lions offensive line is bad this year, secondary is bad and Campbell going for it on 4th down all the time has cost them games instead of taking the Field Goals. Goff is inconsistent as well.
