Rewatch the play again, the ball was on him as soon as he came out of his break. 

  Ewers had a bad day but geezus, when a receiver makes his break the ball is supposed to be there. That is literally NFL QBing 101. Ewers had a lot you can criticize him for but that one was not it.

The ball should be out when the receiver is making his break, it shouldn’t be flying past him. Ewers rushed that throw.

  The ball should be out where you can fit it in. In a perfect world when that receiver makes the break they should expect the ball because that break, that only him and his QB know about, is going to be the biggest point of separation between him and the DB. After that the DB is going to close. However, in the real world you throw the ball in the window you have and the receiver should recognize the window as well. Sometimes you need to wait a bit because a receiver needs to clear a linebacker. Sometimes the window is small so you have to put it on them quickly. Either way the receiver has to recognize that too. 

  Look, every ball isn't going to be perfect. Sometimes you have to slow down, dive, jump, or fall down to make a catch. Receivers on other teams do this every week. We dropped some drive killing balls out there tonight, there is no two ways about it. We also threw a couple ugly ones. Missed a bunch of blocks. Danced around in the backfield when we should've put our head down, and put our head down when we should've seen the cutback on a stretch run. 

[CooterBrown 18287]

I thought it was interesting that Herbie mentioned asking Ewers who’s worked with him on his throwing motion and he said no one. It’s from playing baseball.

No wonder every aspect of his mechanics is absolute shit other than arm strength.

Then we both agree, he was out of his break. At least that is settled

Biggest difference in the game. TCU ran for 6 yards a carry on the second half and Texas ran for -0.5

Being able to aggressively hold on the edge helps a lot with that.

I just don’t understand 

It makes perfect sense when you accept:

- Sark is not a good head coach

- We don’t have very talented football players

If you can’t make sense of this, your shit’s all fucked.

[Jkwellborn 7034]

It's a joke that Texas couldn't block TCU on the run.  The aren't big on talent but aggressive.  They just had to increase their level of intensity and focus to execute blocks.  If they did that Bijan would make people miss.  He's a super talent.  But they never gave him a chance.

There were several times Bijan got tackled one on one and didn’t make anyone miss.

[gmr548 16694]

There were receivers running wide open and for some reason Ewers insisted on throwing to guys who were double and  triple covered.  That’s Sark’s fault?  You are the dumbass.  There were opportunities but the players didn’t perform.  If you can’t see that that you are a fucking idiot. 

Sark is essentially the QB coach. Yes, if they don’t perform, whether that’s missing throws, not going through their progressions, or being left in the game too long, it’s on him.

[VaLonghorn99 365]

Maybe, we win the conference this time, instead of the conference game - the opposite of OU and CU championship losses from recent memory. The team just played very tight, not like a underdog with nothing to lose. I think this attitude trickled down from Sark. We are not world beaters this year yet every loss has been a close one and most wins blowouts.

If you said Texas limits TCU to 17 and scores a defensive TD, i'd say fuck yeah we gonna win. This game was purely on lack of any ability to do anything on offense. These motherfuckers got thrown off because it was COLD OUTSIDE.

Hudson Card would not have won last night, that TCU defense was unsolvable.  Only VY, Colt or Sam - the best 3 Qbs would have won it - someone who can run when everything breaks down.

This.. I know it is easier for a fans to blame 1 player, because that has a solution. This was a total collapse by the offense. Couldn’t block, couldn’t throw, couldn’t catch, did dumb things, slow to adjust, you name a fuck up and the offense did it. That goes from Sark to the players.

[Mother mopar 3383]

 
I didn't see that.  I saw Worthy, Sanders, and Billingsley do that.  You are probably thinking of Billingsley.

I am not, he played.

Fuck this shit.  Awake.   Still GD pissed.  How does this shit keep happening to the offense.   
 

We score 31 in a loose, effective half.   Then fucking 3 the next?   It’s not the “purple wall” of TCU.   They’re giving up around 30 a game.   When we can’t run.   We can’t win.   Period.   That’s how you beat the team.  QE is playing horribly and the receivers can’t catch.    Great combo

With that defense last night SMU, Tech, osu, ksu, Kansas and wvu beat those fucks.

When you drop your release point down to 3/4 and sidearm, the ball sails. That's what we're seeing with Ewers. Too many overthrown balls.

Running when shit breaks down is not done special talent. Most good college QBs do it. And Card does it pretty well 

[Make em eat Taco Bell 1549]

Duggan is so clutch, sometime there's nothing you can do. Get in his face and Steph Curry still makes the 3. 

on this critical late game 3rd down, Overshown is completely in his face and Max makes the perfect throw to their NFL WR Johnston.

Ewers sidearm delivery probably doesn't even get that throw off, even if done then overthrown or wildly off -- not pinpoint as Duggan did.  He's a very very good college QB, another ginger - remember Andy Dalton from 2010 that led TCU to the Rose Bowl?

We should honestly just fire Sark tonight and give the job to Fatterson and see if we want to make him the HC at the end of the year. Sark aint it guys. 

I am not here to troll, but I can't let this one pass.  Hiring Patterson would just be compounding your problems.  Look at his record as a coach the past three years. The program was in a severe decline because he refused to bring in new coaches with fresh ideas and who could actually coach.  Both of the last 2 ADs encouraged him to get rid of coaches who were underperforming.  He refused and insisted on keeping his yes-men rather than firing them.  Last year, the AD told him that his contract would not be renewed but asked him to finish out the season so as to not make him look bad, getting fired during the season.  He threw a tantrum and quit on the spot.  The college game has passed him by...Texas would be getting more of the same if he were your head coach.  We are glad that he was here, but now we are glad that he is gone.

[DiceHands 349]

Im going to just vomit my thoughts here as a vent/therapy session - feel free to read or move along

1. The emphasis to Worthy has to stop. Its clear he is not the same X from last year. Sophomore slump, whatever, idk what it is..  but the deep bombs are not working.  Move him to the slot and put someone else outside. The timing, the effort, everything is off.  He is still a bad ass, but these deep bombs into quadruple coverage where X barely even tries to make a move on the ball KILL our drives.  Please stop.  J Whitt should be target #1. Then JT.  Then Worthy underneath.

2. The THIRD punt block attempt was idiotic. It absolutely lost us the game. I understand why we did it, but Sark needs to read the fucking room.  We got lucky with non-calls or lesser calls on the first two attempts. Our offense FINALLY had a good drive.  Our defense gets the rare 3-and-out. Then we go take a stinky dump all over it with that stupid fucking call.  DO BETTER.

3. I cant put all the blame on Quinn, but like 85% of it is on him. I dont think he got any help from WRs or playcalling, but his vision was terrible last night and cost us at least one TD that I know off (wheel route to Bijan). We cant just give up on the kid, that would be horrible for us. But Sark should realize when Quinn is in a funk sooner and make the change. Gundy benched his own flesh and blood yesterday, yet Sark doesnt want to hurt mullets feelings?  Fuck that shit.  WIN THE FUCKING GAME. 

4. Bijan is amazing, he really is, but he dances too fucking much. RUN OVER SOMEONE.  Stop dancing around trying to make every play a 50 yard td run.  Dancing around like that wont work in college and it definitely wont work in the NFL. Just get us the fucking first down.

5. Playcalling was terrible.  I dont know if its Sark calling 18 deep bombs to Worthy every game or if Quinn is just saying fuck it and chunking it deep...  but its terrible. I dont want to see another deep bomb all year.  Quinn hasnt hit one since Bama, and btw I think that was the ONLY one he hit. ITS NOT WORKING.

The defense balled out last night but this picture is pretty frustrating. Why is Barron playing with a 5yard cushion on 3rd and 4. In this case giving up a TD is literally no worse than giving up a first down. We are blitzing. Play press coverage and live with the results.

That's on the coaches this far into the season.  Sark doesn't hold players accountable and he doesn't challenge bad calls.  That long run was due to a hold on Watts.

he became a 1.000 or whatever recruit that everyone wanted with those same mechanics, the best pass he's thrown in his career was the TD to Sanders vs OU, that was all arm but for some reason no one cared to notice. The bad mechanics are killing him now, I guess we'll see if he changes.

  I posted this on another thread but.... It's everybody and everything. Just watch the first few series. 

1st and 10- We walk out and gaze over at 9 in the box right away on the first snap. Sark rightly calls a pass with an away breaking route to the receiver we have that can always get sep on the break. Worthy breaks and is open, but instead of just catching the ball he unnecessarily jumps backwards to basket catch it which creates room for the DB to make a play on the ball. Incomplete. 

2nd and 10- We run Bijan off the edge with pin and pull. Bijan just needs to run hard to the sideline and he probably gets 7. Instead he stops and tries to cut it back inside and that allows the DB flying in to wrap him up. 

3rd and 7- Rojo on the jet sweep avoiding the heavy box. Conner gets cut downfield which should be a penalty but whatever. Rojo picks up a quick 5. 

4th and 2- Direct snap to Bijan with Rojo as a lead. There is a moment where if Bijan just hits the hole he picks up the 1st. However, he tries to bounce it and gets tackled short. 

 

 

Second Series...................................

1st and 10- Wildcat and we collapse the left side where we had pulling linemen. For whatever reason Rojo decides to keep even though his keys said to hand it off. No gain. 

2nd and 10- We drop back and throw an absolutely catchable ball to Worthy that he gator arms and goes straight through his hands. 

3rd and 10- Ewers gets his clock cleaned. 

 

Third series.....................................................

1st and 10-Bijan straight ahead to get some room when we were backed up

2nd and 8- backed up on our 3- We pull Sanders as a lead. Bijan starts to follow him and likely would've picked up 2 or 3 hard and needed yards. Instead he tries to bounce back to his right and gets tackled for no gain. 

3rd and 8- We throw to Sanders on a skinny post. Ball is low but catchable and he drops it. 

 

   Momentum and confidence are a weird thing. We have a bad route and drop, a rb playing hero ball, a missed call, then back to the rb playing hero ball. Punt. Then another rb playing hero ball. A receiver drop because he is scared of contact. Then your right guard got mauled and got your QB killed on the second series. 3rd series you have a workman like run, then hero ball by the rb, and then a dropped ball on 3rd down. At this point QE hasn't been perfect but we can win with this version of him. However, you can see his confidence leaving him. With each bad play and drop he is holding his helmet. The play calls up to this point aren't bad just everyone is fucking up. No one can seem to make a play when a play needs to be made. No matter the call. It's very hard to watch. Young guys struggling and older guys who can't pick them up. Loser mentality handed down from generation to generation of Texas football players.

Tend to agree. I think Card could have pulled off the OSU game behind Bijan and RoJo. Not a guarantee but can definitely see how he could have. Not so last night. Sark would have kept calling the offense right into TCU’s hands.

You make a great point that I was thinking about on my drive home from the game.  This team more than any other I can remember completely relies on momentum. When we lose it, we shell up and look like shit. When we have it, everything is clicking on all cylinders. 

The issue last night is that we did not call enough plays to get momentum on our side. Calling deep shot after deep shot that goes incomplete sucks the life out of the players and the fans and puts us in these 2nd and long/3rd and long situations that we are historically horrible against.

This team just doesn’t make sense. Last 2nd half TD was vs ISU, the best defense in the Big 12. Texas runs all over ISU and KSU, can’t run at all vs TCU. Struggles with ISU offense and shuts down TCU. No matter what happens they find new ways to lose all momentum. That is the only thing consistent

Second Series...................................

1st and 10- Wildcat and we collapse the left side where we had pulling linemen. For whatever reason Rojo decides to keep even though his keys said to hand it off. No gain. 

2nd and 10- We drop back and throw an absolutely catchable ball to Worthy that he gator arms and goes straight through his hands. 

3rd and 10- Ewers gets his clock cleaned. 

 

Third series.....................................................

1st and 10-Bijan straight ahead to get some room when we were backed up

2nd and 8- backed up on our 3- We pull Sanders as a lead. Bijan starts to follow him and likely would've picked up 2 or 3 hard and needed yards. Instead he tries to bounce back to his right and gets tackled for no gain. 

3rd and 8- We throw to Sanders on a skinny post. Ball is low but catchable and he drops it. 

 

   Momentum and confidence are a weird thing. We have a bad route and drop, a rb playing hero ball, a missed call, then back to the rb playing hero ball. Punt. Then another rb playing hero ball. A receiver drop because he is scared of contact. Then your right guard got mauled and got your QB killed on the second series. 3rd series you have a workman like run, then hero ball by the rb, and then a dropped ball on 3rd down. At this point QE hasn't been perfect but we can win with this version of him. However, you can see his confidence leaving him. With each bad play and drop he is holding his helmet. The play calls up to this point aren't bad just everyone is fucking up. No one can seem to make a play when a play needs to be made. No matter the call. It's very hard to watch. Young guys struggling and older guys who can't pick them up. Loser mentality handed down from generation to generation of Texas football players. 

 

 

That’s a lot of words to say we have a loser coach and a team full of losers

The last punt was the dumbest thing I have seen in a long time. You flirted with disaster twice. Your players aren’t diving at where the ball comes off the punter’s foot. Very high risk low benefit call at a point where desperation is not called for.

Sark is essentially the QB coach. Yes, if they don’t perform, whether that’s missing throws, not going through their progressions, or being left in the game too long, it’s on him.

I’ll say this, it’s blame to go to everyone here. Sark, Ewers, Worthy, Bijan etc. 

Sark made some questionable decisions, but those deep balls were thrown by Ewers. Sark explains in his PC those are reads. I think on the play Ewers threw a pick you had Whittington or Sanders streaking across the middle wide open cause the corner was late sinking, but Quinn throws it to Worthy in double coverage! WTF!?!  But then when you have Bijan wide open in the endzone on the wheel route you throw it to Sanders going across the middle. Or on 4th down in the 4th qrt when he stares down Sanders and you have Whittington breaking free on a deep out. 
At the end of the day Ewers played like the freshman he is! He looked lost and disoriented!! I would say he’s not use to adversity and it has shown these last few games since OU
 

 Worthy has officially hit that Soph wall! He has been alligator arms this season! He doesn’t play with that same fire he had last season, but shit after hearing praises all off-season I can see it. Whittington should definitely have been the featured WR not just last night but the last few games and maybe all season! If Worthy wants to be a fucking decoy let him run 9 routes all game!! We’re the only team that gets dunked and dunked all game but won’t do the same to them.  Hell even Sanders who had a bad night between drops and blocking at least looked like he wanted it!  Worthy doesn’t even look like he cares at times 

Bijan looked different no doubt about it! Y’all can say the O-Line but last week and even before you can tell it was different!! Bijan tip-toed at the LOS, unlike last week he seen the hole and hit it!!!! That looked like Bijan from the 1st two games, instead of being the hammer he looked like the nail!! We can blame Quinn but Bijan was supposed to be the go-to guy, not Ewers. At the end of the day Ewers is a freshman, Bijan is the upperclassman 

The offense looked awful at the end of the day and ultimately falls on Sark!! But the players have to make the plays!! I honestly believe Sark is playing for next year with not playing Card!! Not that he’s giving up but he’s trying to give Ewers as much experience as possible. Yes it sucks now just like it did with Vince (who had way more talent around him) Colt, and Elingher their first year but we all see how it helped them the next season.
