I posted the mistakes (IMO, of course) made by each QB in my play by play thread, but here are some pictures to go along with each one. Note that play 1 means 1st drop back of the drive by the QB, not the 1st overall play of the drive.

Harris:
Drive 1 play 1, missed Lewis open in the middle, but had a nice run to make up for the missed opportunity.

Lewis open across the middle

Drive 1 play 2, it was a tough snap to handle, but was far from impossible, major mistake here.

High snap

Drive 1 play 4, he had a shot to convert on 3rd and forever as McGee was open, but didn't take it.

An open McGee waving his arms

Drive 3 play 4, first pic actually shows a good decision not passing to Powell down the middle. As you'll see later that Grier faced the same exact situation and decided to chuck it, and Bailey bailed him out with a spectacular catch. However, Harris did miss wide open DRob for likely a TD down the sideline, but made up for it with a nice pass to Taylor for a big gain.

Drive 10 play 3, pass to Showers was late, almost picked.

Very close to a pick

Drive 10 play 5, should've been picked off, should not have attempted the pass let alone throwing it behind, another major mistake.

Should've been a pick

Drive 11 play 3, missed a wide open Lewis, though still converted with a much tougher pass to Worton afterwards.

Lewis wide open

Grier:
Drive 4 play 1, missed timing with Showers, threw too early.

Pass behind Showers

Drive 5 play 1, very poor ball security, it's one thing when you're blind-sided, it's another to lose the ball when you saw the rush coming. Big mistake here.

Overload blitz on the right side, Taylor blocking air

Drive 8 play 5, missed Goolsby open across the middle, instead tried and failed to run for the first down.

Goolsby wide open

Drive 9 play 2, missed timing with Bailey, threw the ball way behind him (intentionally, otherwise the LB in the middle would've broken it up or intercepted it), though Bailey made up for it by making a spectacular catch.
