  1. If we lose, the bottom line will be that if we'd had a decent QB or a decent kicker, we woulda beat GA and wouldn't be playing tonight.
  2. There's times when your QB has to take off and make it happen. We're gonna get fucked two games in a row by just such a QB.
  3. Fucking running QB. If only we had one
  4. Turn the fuck around and watch the QB
  5. If you're not gonna run down the clock, that's a pretty good way to do it. Maybe Clemson's offense will be tired
  6. Beautiful run. Broke a tackle or two. Tight squeeze, off to the races. Yessir Motherfucker!@
  7. So who's that fucking annojuncer who said we need to get back to the run game? Fucking A, Mr. Blue
  8. RElying on a defense to win games is not a good plan
  9. They're one drive away from nervous time. Too soon. Like the idea of resting Wisner some tho
  10. If you're not gonna give Arch a pass option, let him go for the flag
  11. Horns impressive. Ewers looks like he has his mojo back. Now if Sark can keep from calling double screens that lose six yards and force us into obvious passing situations, we've got this. D has stepped up. Kick fucking Ass, Horns!
  12. What happens when a QB gets too cautious, goes soft
  13. Look, we've been waiting two months for Quinn to get over this psychological hump he's got inside the thirty. Using an ambiguous, difficult to define term like "soft" to describe his throws might be difficult for him to process in the heat of the moment. On the other hand, if we define them as "pussy throws", the phrase will strike terror straight ionto the heart of his cerebral cortex. If I was a QB accused of making pussy throws, I'd never fucking make another one in my life. I'd be up at dawn the next day - with my head coach - firing, I mean FIRING that fucking ball threw that fucking tire! Quinn would turn 2 of 10 for 5 into 8 of 10 for 90. I hope it's not too late...
  14. Did not know that. That could throw off the mechanics a bit and trim a few yards off the distance. Still, if you've got a great kicker... I'd say from your own 45 in, less than twenty seconds left in the half might be worth a try. No blockers, lower trajectory. 65 Yarder. No snapping 7 yds back. If you miss, you're giving your opponent a couple of plays inside your fifty... or, if it's the end of the game and you need those three to tie or win, the odds might be just as good as completing two six yarders to the sidelines, then adding the 7 yard snap... Just depends on conditions and your kicker. Wouldn't be surprised to find out that every couple of weeks the opportunity occurs once in the NFL.
  15. I'll bet over half the coaches in the NFL don't even know about the Free Kick Rule. I've seen numerous instances where it woulda been a great call, but it wasn't used. And you never hear anyone in the booth call for it. Kudos to the chargers' coach and Dicker.
  16. https://thetvapp.to/ has been a "go to" for me this year. Page one usually lists every FB and BB (and hockey) game for that day, incl Thur Nite. (most other channels for regular TV as well, including the Tennis Channel.) Very few reboots, if any. But, occasionally it won't feed and suggests a vpn. If so, next stop is sportssurge. Under football ->CF (or NFL) you'll have all the college (Pro) games of that day (they may not appear until a few hours before kickoff). For each game there are a dozen streams. The top five are pretty reliable. Several are better than Streameast. All of above are pretty much Hi-Def. Not quite as good as Satellite, usually. One caution, if you tune in late, like the fourth quarter, your game may not be listed anymore. So if the stream you were on goes to shit and you have to return to the main page... (This is rare). That can be overcome by using tabs so that the original list of streams per game remains on your browser. (I Use Edge) or keeping an extra backup stream in a new tab (don't run it, though). Once a game is de-listed, you can usually find it on the streamer's site. Not too familiar with Youtube. Have used it some. Might be a great HRes alternative. Don't tell anybody.
  17. All the drops last week makes me think that something is deeply wrong with this offense.. I think maybe Quinn's lack of success in the Red Zone combined with his ability to turn the ball over combined with his hesitancy (or self-doubt, or nervousness, whatever) in the Red Zone, combined with some god-awful passes/near interceptions in the Red Zone has bled over to the rest of the players. The whole fucking team behind Quinn seems to have a lack of focus, a "what's gonna go wrong next" psychosis. A ball is thrown too slowly, perhaps and it throws off their timing as they wait to get whacked after the catch... or whatever... has resulted in a team that can't score TDs inside the Zone, and I haven't seen any signs in the last eight games that they're gonna get over it. They're snake bit. Sark, you've got to try something different to help them get their mojo back. Take Quinn the fuck out inside the thirty for a few possessions and see if that helps anything. Worst case scenario, it doesn't, but it helps them get the Arch monkey off their backs. Maybe they'll step up and say "I guess we're gonna have to drag Quinn across the finish line." Do something... Just try anything Sark, because the formula you've been running isn't working worth a shit. Quit being a fucking spectator. Quit being a fucking Xs and Os guru and return to being a coach that does whatever needs to be done to win. Engage the team in a new tack. Almost makes me wonder if Sark has caught a bit of the Quinn Hesitation Psychosis and it's fucking him up too. In scientific terms: Seems like everyone on offense is running around, being a pussy. Goddammit, you got to beat these motherfuckers next Saturday. Hop to it.
  18. Yeah yeah. Dekker dreamed of unicorns too. Lotta good it did him.
  19. Great analysis, wildly liked by Surly, hard to watch. Ewers is warmed over dogshit inside the 25 yardline. WAshington game all over again. Fucking EMBARRASSING. You're right about Sark though. He needs an Offensive Coordinator or at least advisor who is planning ahead while the D is on the field. And he sure as hell needed to do a better job running the ball. Georgia gave the rest of the league a blueprint on how to stop QE. Of course, no amount of planning is going to compensate for the crap passes Tippytoes was throwing out there. Arch gets five on a first down play, which makes getting another first down almost inevitable. We get it, and does Sark put him back in for the next first down play? Fuck no. I'd say the best plan might be that once we reach an opponents thirty, to have Second Teamers bind and gag Ewers on the sideliine and perhaps roll him up in a tarp so that Sark has to play Arch. Release him with each new possession, but have a crack unit ready to run on the field and drag him to the sidelines once we reach the red zone. Could work.
  20. That's some great insight that seems to get lost in all this. When you get a QB out of the pocket, often you will see one tackler and wide open spaces in front of him. He can turn it into a nice running gain, or because everyone on the D is freaking out, he can turn it into a forty yard TD pass. The problem most QBs have with the latter scenario is that they're not accurate passers when they're on the run. Not only is Arch fast and can beat that one tackler, but I'm pretty sure he's damn accurate on those types of passes.
  21. Anyone expecting a defense to hold a quality team to 14 or so points is an idiot. It happens, but against a good team it only takes one play to break your back and end your season. That's why anybody who is satisfied with scoring 16 points is a fucking moron. Anything under thirty points for our offense should dissapoint the hell out of us. "Playing good enough to win" is just another platitude to go with "at least we won 9 games this year." Fuck that. Tell that to Nick Saban. In saddling us with Tippytoes Ewers in the Red Zone, Sark is running 85 octane fuel into a high performance engine. It raises a question: many said that Georgia players stepped up their game with the entry of the freshman QB, likely adrenaline. Well, seems like the fading of the adrenaline is a natural phenomena that happens when your QB isn't out there MAKING things happen. When you continually fail in the Red Zone, the players sort of get used to it. We saw what happened when the rush kicked in on their side. Perhaps having a fresh young go getter at QB would raise everyone's play just a notch (although I don't think you would be able to notice it on our kick ass defense)?
