I wasn't really going to post, but found this interesting:
I came away from re-watching the game feeling like neither of Mitch Trubisky’s two interceptions were primarily his fault. On the first one, Anthony Miller – his first read – was jammed by a defensive back and fell to the turf. Allen Robinson was second in the progression and the timing of the throw, yes, was a little off, allowing the ball to be tipped and picked off by cornerback Julian Love. That could’ve been better, but credit also should go to the Giants’ defense on it.
The second interception was both a catch Robinson should’ve had and a tremendous play by cornerback James Bradberry. Maybe Trubisky could’ve placed the ball a little better but his decision to give Robinson a playmaking opportunity was good. Bradberry is a tough corner but it’s a play Robinson, in all certainty, would like to have back.
This idea that Tru is just locking onto ARob is a bit of a self fullfilling prophecy at this point. He's the #1 WR, so he's going to get more looks then anyone else, and he's going to get more time to get open then anyone else, and he's likely going to get throws that aren't wide open and much tighter then anyone else. It's why he's a #1 and why he wants to be paid like one. W/all that said he has to actually come down w/the ball and be more aggressive.
On the INTs neither was perfectly thrown but both were good enough that they're passes you expect a $20m WR to come up with. The 1st INT was at least half ARob's fault and the 2nd was completely his fault. Yes, I know that no player no matter how great he is can catch every catchable pass but I feel like Robinson, Miller, and Graham have each had 2-3 targets this year that should have been caught and weren't.
Hopefully the WRs & Graham have gotten that out of their systems for the season and that's the last crappy play we see from 'em :-)
