Yes, Mingo sucks. But Bryce threw a ball that got picked because he threw a dead duck.

You know what would've kept it from getting picked? A throw delivered with NFL velocity. If a trailing defender can undercut a route with an on target ball, the ball got there too slow. Mingo drifting one yard up the field did not get the ball picked. If he doesn't drift the best case scenario is that the pass is broken up instead of picked.

I went back to edit to actually give you a serious response and not just mock you. But seriously... The title is hilarious. The pick is 100% someone else fault while you're already admitting it was a bad read and the ball should've been thrown to someone else because the D blew a coverage. But yeah, it's 100% someone else's fault. Then the throw was such a dead duck that a trailing defender was still able to undercut the route and jump it to get the INT, but yet it was still 100% someone else's fault. Maximum cope has been achieved. I honestly should've just left post as the cutting snark the thread deserves.

Go back and read the edit. You're desperately reaching to cover for you guy, man.

Other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play? But seriously, it's a YAC route. It's not a comeback. Did Mingo drift a little? Yeah. Would it matter if Bryce didn't throw at the velocity of a child? No. It got picked because Bryce can't generate velocity, not because the receiver drifted one yard down the field. If Mingo doesn't drift that yard at best it's a broken up pass. It might have still gotten picked. And Tremble is still wide open because of a completely busted coverage.

It's all just moot if you simply throw to the completely uncovered guy because the Cowboys busted a coverage.

He does. But this one wasn't on him.

Mingo is literally just running his route. It wasn't a comeback route where he's supposed to be breaking back to the ball. It's a route designed for YAC. The throw is supposed to lead him so he can run away from the defender. The throw actually wasn't awful in terms of location. It's just the Bryce's lack of velocity allowed the defender to undercut it and pick it off. Bryce's biggest issue is lack of physical talent. You can work on footwork. You can work on decision making. You can work on reading defenses and protection calls. You can't work on sheer physical talent. It just is what it is.

It's coping. You know what was the right decision? Throwing to wide open Tremble because the Cowboys busted the coverage. He was literally completely uncovered. At some point you have to start accepting reality and stop making excuses.

I mean, he didn't lie when he said that the days of mediocrity were over. Oh how I long for those days of mediocrity. At least we were good enough often enough to keep things interesting. He's just turned us into a straight up doormat.

It's all been a series of quick fix schemes and all that has accomplished is digging ourselves into a massive hole.

Actually the opposite. Rosen had high level physical talent he was just a cocky, uncoachable prick. Bryce is a good dude who just lacks NFL talent.

The mockery needs to be intense. It needs to be made not fun for him to the point that he hands the reins to someone else to make the decisions

I hope so but I'm just not sure he can swallow the ego. He really wants to win and he's willing to spend money and take chances to try to do it. That I can respect. But he has to understand that he's the root of the issue in all of these bad decisions. My fear is that his ego won't allow him to admit it and he'll keep scapegoating people thinking he'll figure out the magical solution at some point.

We are doomed to suck until David Tepper admits he's the problem and removes himself from football operations.

That's why they're pick sixes. It's usually not the downfield passes that go back for six. It's the checkdowns that the defender catches on the run already heading toward his endzone.

It really is. Because the other times we sucked we weren't sucking while the guy we mortgaged the near term future of the franchise on was a big part of the sucking. We're gonna get dunked on SO HARD while Chicago is on the clock with the #1 overall pick they got from us.

Yeah, but Bryce looks like his ceiling is that of a game manager that needs to be carried by the roster around him. There's just a very low level of physical talent. As he fumbles it away...

Thielen is our best player by MILES.

Probably only two. I don't see us being much better next year. We'll all be talking '25 QBs this time next year.

And it was a blown coverage. Trimble was WIDE OPEN. Throws TD to Dallas. fuging yikes.

Bryce is pretty good at throwing TDs to the other team. Gotta give him credit for that.

We scored a TD. Unbelievable. That drive is a blueprint for what our offense should've been all year. Power running and play action passing. It's all we have the ability to consistently do with any real success.

I honestly don't know why our opponents don't just bracket Theilen and force someone else to beat them. I guess because they're easily heating us anyway, but still...
