Dropped Balls

[GTThor]

We are 2 dropped balls from possibly leading the #1 team in the country.

Playing hard. Lots of effort. Coach Key has got these guys ready to play.

Need a stop here. Need a big play on offense.

Go ahead and give CBK the job. One helluva game plan

Well, all of our wounds have been self-inflicted today: wide open dropped passes, special teams anything but special. It’s amazing the small differences between their players and ours, but their guys make more plays

our special teams is all special, just the wrong kind of special

Yep. I'm fine with Key getting the job but don't want BOB to get the job with Key as an assistant.

Kinda makes you wonder how things might have come out had Leonard not dropped that wide open, easy pass early in this game..

We’ve got the worst TEs and worst punting unit in the country.

If they were just competent, this game would look a lot different.

This is correct. Our TEs have stone hands and also whiffed a ton of blocks throughout the season. Punting is a clown show and I hope whoever is coaching next year brings in some new TEs and for gods sake a new punter

 

[tmhunter52]

Pyron is our only QB who play without fear. I hope he keeps that quality

 

[Sean311]

The fact that this thread exists tells you how close this game was for 3 quarters and how well we played today overall.

I'm unsure who I favor to get the job, but to say the coaches had the team ready to play and that all our wounds are self inflicted (mistakes) are contradicting statements.

Sting Talk just banned me, what a bunch of pussies

I tried to make a StingTalk account and they banned me before I even made a post lmao. They said it was a “dupe account.” Lol.

StingTalk sucks

Gibson played a helluva game IMO. Some crisp passes in there.

Hard to believe same guy from the UVA game.

I agree. I would like to see him improve his running decision-making. When he pulls it down he doesn't commit, and tries to juke too much. He doesn't have the skill to juke a 4* and 5* LB. But I was impressed with his arm.

No they aren't. Preparation doesn't mean things don't happen when the other team steps on the field, too. I think our guys were prepared to play and were ready to give the #1 team in the country a fight. We absolutely made some mistakes. But we lost because UGA is a better team. With our level of talent we had to be perfect and we weren't.

Don't get me wrong, here. We need to do a better job of not shooting ourselves in the foot especially when playing the #1 team in the country in their place. Not excusing the drops and other issues. I don't know how much more our coaches could have done to alter the result of today's game.

Agreed. I think perhaps he knows he's not a good runner, and he tries not to run because of it. Perfect example, the play where he escaped the pocket to the right and I think it was him and Dontae vs 1 defender, and both he and Dontae just stared at each other and kinda stutter stepped and only got like 2 yards when he could have picked up 6+ if he just committed and ran with it.

I understand that and I agree. He isn't perfect. But he did more right than wrong and I'm glad he's going to be here the next two years.

Yep for a 3rd string QB (or 2b if you want), he played pretty well. I'm not nearly as worried about playing him again as I was after the UVA game.

There are probably a dozen NFL caliber TEs in CFB at any given time. I think this is why CPJ and Leach don’t use them in their offensive schemes.
