I can handle losing.

I can't handle losing to Duke.

*blows whistle* False Start.
You two posted in the post game thread before the game ended.

Blame this on 33jacket, he was saying we were going to lose in the game chat and it snowballed from there. Seriously bad juju

 

[Js-showman]

Untimely turnovers, untimely penalties, and a couple of horrible calls. The guys couldn't overcome the bad stuff.

I blame @GTNavyNuke ...started the prediction thread too early!

It is amazing to see how well we can play one week and how poorly we can play the next.

I blame this loss on pot and lack of schooling.

 

[Eric]

Tons of injuries today...Golden, Days, Smelter....

 

[Js-showman]

Well, they are fighting back and not quitting.

JT is going to have a few bad games, and today was one of them. I can't be too down JT has pulled us through more times than not.

I chalk it up to being a young team.

Dammit now we have a quarterback "controversy" just poor play all around. It all started up front and they whipped us all day. We're not out yet but we can't lose again

That and a D that needs a lot of work. Our O had an off day, but our D looks like it's off season.

GT Fan base goes from "JT for Heisman" to "Byerly should start!" in 3.... 2..... 1.....

 

[Js-showman]

Me too. Lasky fumbled. JT threw picks. Stupid penalties on D. Duke played a cleaner game. And we still should have won. Like I posted earlier in the week, they won't stop us unless we stop ourselves. And we did.

That is why i don't bet on football games.

 

[vamosjackets]

JT looked tired and injured for much of the game today. Tim Byerly looked like Rambo.

There's no QB controversy. TB played great, but Duke had taken the foot of the pedal. Have we forgotten GSU and VT so quickly?

JT still ran for 119 and made it look easy.

No QB controversy in my mind. Everyone has an off day. JT had one today. He'll learn from it. He is still inexperienced. The key thing is to manage your off days - that only comes from experience. When you are not having your best game, you need to take minimal risks etc.

We aren't talented enough to play like that.
Bad calls, turnovers, inability to finish drives on o, inability to stop drives on D.
This was the least talented team we had during this stretch.
We aren't out of it, but play like that again, and we will be.
