  1. LAWSUIT IN 3... 2... 1...
  2. He needed tha money, ehhhhhh!
  3. They'll be reaching out to Milli Vanilli and Carrot Top for engagement opportunities by next season.
  4. Texas -- 58 Saint Joe -- 7 We get 8 touchdowns and a safety. Total rushing = 256
  5. I'm not even a Cowboy fan and I'd like to slap the shit out of him just for looking like Bert Auburn's dad.
  6. How many updates to the NFL Fans Going Goon thread are happening in real time in that stadium right now?
  7. And yet somehow we marched down the field on them 3 times and came away with only 7 points specifically because we stopped running the ball with the running backs. Sorry, but there is no rational way to characterize the O line and running backs as mediocre when Arch was almost never touched in the pocket and the backs had over 4.5 ypc.
  8. Huh, and huh? The pass protection was very solid, and the RB's ran 26 times for 120 yards. The issues in this game were Arch's inaccuracy and Sark going full retard in the red zone multiple times. I can't imagine pointing a finger anywhere else.
  9. I'm pretty sure the murder capital of the world is Kiev or Gaza City, depending on the day. But is it even murder when a rich, white man does it?
  10. Ya know, a lot of people are saying it was the manliest poop bag ever. I don't know, but that's what they're saying.
  11. It's MTG.
  12. Exactly. I swear there is something about the field shrinking and the defense compressing that makes Sark's usually proudly swinging nuts retreat all the way up into his torso. I think it's mostly that he doesn't want to ruin a good drive with an interception and take points off the board. But, Sark, my guy, we don't get the points half the fucking time anyway. Let your nuts back out.
  13. The problem isn't going for it on 4th and short in FG range. The problem is the plays that are called. But, TexArcher! The graphic above shows that we converted on 7 of 14, 50%. That's pretty good, no? Well, that number is before Saturday. And does anybody want to run the win/loss records of the teams we converted against and the teams we didn't before Saturday? The shit we call usually doesn't work against better defenses, as we just saw, again. And it's not just the 4th and short -- it's the whole red zone. Multiple times, we marched down the field, then we asked Arch Manning to run like Tim Tebow, and by the way, what no one is talking about is that if Arch gets hurt, we go from 11-1 to 8-4 in a hurry. And we tried a QB sneak against a team with like 9 goal line stands the last couple of years. Brilliant. Let's bet the whole season (Arch's health) on a series of plays with like a 10% chance of working. Going for it is analytically correct. How we go for it is really stupid a lot of the time. Also, if your head coach sucks at 4th and short play calling, it doesn't mean you ignore the analytics and start settling for the field goals. It means you address the issue of your head coach sucking at 4th and short play calling by getting someone else to call the plays. I like Sark overall, but if he really wants us to win, he needs to put his ego aside and do the obvious.
  14. I mean, that's 100% a catch. Hurry up.
  15. What a catch, good lord.
  16. Did he throw out an N bomb during that play or something?
  17. Yeah, fuck Miami forever.
  18. I'm not the guy who blamed that miss on Wingo. That was a terrible throw.
  19. Yeah, that was encouraging. tOSU was only rushing 4 most of the time, but their guys were not winning the 1v1's at all. Arch had plenty of time. He just saw 7-man coverages and didn't make decisions quickly enough. But that can be worked on, and that secondary is excellent. I expect Arch to be in a much better place by the time we go to Gainesville. He can grow a lot with 3 games and a bye week.
  20. Jesus tapdancing Christ, it was ONE GAME. Sark has been fucking up red zone trips FOR YEARS. Obviously, the right answer is that they both have to do better. But I'm afraid that one of them isn't capable of it. And I'm a Sark fan. But this Achilles heel of his can fuck up absolutely everything. It is a way bigger deal than several misfires from a green starting QB in the toughest game of his young life. Fuck, this is ridiculous.
  21. You said that Sark called a good enough game to win with average QB play, and that is not correct, because the average QB is not a fucking battering ram inside the 10-yard line. We got enough from Arch to win this game (200+ total yards, 1 TD, 1 INT). We didn't get enough from Sark. Give it to Baxter and Wisner, who were having perfectly good days, inside the 10. Call a WR screen. Literally anything other than what Sark called. How many fucking goal line stands does Ohio State have the last couple of years? I'm not saying Arch was fine. He needs to be better, and he will be. But the play calling in the red zone has been a persistent issue for years now. That is, without question, the bigger concern.
