yeah thats just old football brain at work there. 5 yards ain't what it used to be

what up with cooper kupp not getting any throws? getting doubled i guess? puka mattata is amazing man damn

the other way around IMO. i felt like we had way too much hype for our DTs heading into the game with husky but michigan secondary is indeed better as well penix is exactly who we thought he was. we needed to pressure him and our plan sucked

yeah, washington playing the run with confidence

@AbeFroman right there with you man. not sure i can ever get over the last 4 plays. just so lost as to how that happened. total meltdown head to toe after being gifted a miracle pas that the future is bright. happy to like the football again my friends

this is where I get a bit frustrated in CFB sometimes. Its not the pros. Sometimes outmatched teams will take the needed risks and make the needed adjustments to actually equalize the game a bit. I saw this with ASU (or Arizona) highlights against Washington. They ran reed boyd blitzes right up the A gap. both linebackers and it panicked penix. Not sure we did this once, maybe we did and I blocked it out of my memory, but I felt bit like you have to at some point toss out gambles, particularly at the very beginning of the game. Create disruption and second guessing. This is partly why I think we won in Tuscaloosa. Sometimes I feel Saban just demands to play straightup. I get it, there is tons going on behind the scene as to why you do this, but still frustrates me when we do as you said - delayed blitzing - a bad plan to start, and then seemingly lose any ability to dictate any of our will on their offense. Who cares if you get burnt once. Get it over with and get your players playing like their ass is on fire.

not great. i was like most of you with the game - penix was great. I don't think our secondary played as bad as people think (and their receivers are good, but IMO it was really all Penix that puts them over the top. And their Oline is excellent). they were just good and they deserved to win But then we get his massive opp for redemption and can't even find a single good pass on 4 tries into the endzone. thats just heartbreaking for me. I still cannot fathom how you F it up that bad. I would have thought this is drilled in your 2 minute practice in some capacity, and/or scenario practice on tries from the 10 to 20 yard line.

yep, was saying this ^ all night. and here we are. they are penix. must sell out to hit him.

dude makes the best throws occasionally but he is just so inconsistent in certain situations. get him pressure up the middle and he loses focus and just struggles to get back. i thought his runs were great tonight. they really seemed to have loosened him up a bit. i was expecting much more on those last 4 plays. at least something close. not 0/4 and just totally lost. he was above his paygrade. hope he can recover and learn from it

sark blew it both in prep and the last 4 tries. very clearly we had nothing there to work with. 4 throws and only one anywhere near where it was supposed to be. QB needed to pick it up and was just lost. dude has moments, love him, but he gets tecmo bowl lost somethings with happy feet and just doesn't seem to feel the game. other QB was balls. their receivers are ok, but IMO not nearly as good as the throws they get. anyone other than penix and we win i think. huge gift with the injury to their RB. huge gift. and we shit the bed. i for sure thought we would have some crazy slants/crossing patterns in the middle of the field/goal line to end it, not a HB toss and whatever other stupidity we tossed out. still in total shock at those last 4 calls. just fucking shocking how bad that went. toss an INT man, fuck it, you have to actually throw INTO THE ENDZONE to score 🤬

or all 4 plays calls NOT in the endzone. The last ball wasn't catchable either, and kinda in the endzone, if you compare it to the other 3 nowhere near the EZ. i am just in shock. handed a miracle and shit the bed

4 passes. non landed anywhere in the endzone bama had one awuful play, we have 4. FOUR AWWFUL PLAYS TO LOSE you fucking kidding me

can someone please explain 4 throws NOT IN THEN ENDZONE? All of them were out of the endzone. awful. Handed a gift

3 tries and you can't even throw it into the endzone? fucking hell

how can you fuck up not throwing it into the endzone?

ewers is just so lost sometimes

thats a catch

3 more tosses into the endzone fuck it

ewers is mental man. he can't take any pressure without freaking out

omg throw deep. get interference called. something. fuck sake

this aint dead just yet

why aren't they just kneeling? stupid. and you injured your 1st back

total BS. don't think we ever sold out. just let him get warm. unreal
