The pass that was picked was way too slow.

[GVol1966]

why was it bad? if it wasn’t open all joey had to do was throw it away. the call had to be something quick because a sack ends the half. bama knew that and was prepared to jump the route. good play by them, but if it wasn’t open joey has to throw that away. i actually like the call

Because Bama knew.

They knew what we were doing on first down because it’s what we do 90+% of the time and we kept to script.
They knew it was the only thing we’d do on that play because of the clock.
Hard to score on a good D when they know what your gonna do

It was poorly executed. Throw it to the outside and it’s a TD.

You can always tell the ignorant fans because the only thing they know to criticize is playcalling. They don’t understand execution.

and the ignorant fans that don’t realize it’s 50/50 and the coach should be smart enough to call plays that increase the players chances of success rather than decrease it.
Bad play calls put it 90% on the player and
Makes them have to be near perfect.

We showed the play in the alignment. Jumbo? Really? DeBoer called timeout because he saw it. Then we stayed in the play. Heupel telegraphed the call, Joey looked down the throw, and they took it like a cookie from a baby. It was bad all around.

We gashed them for hard runs from that formation in the same drive, Bishop and Thomas. The pressure looked like it delayed when Joey wanted to throw and then it came out too soft. I don't see a problem with the formation we had a lot of options from it.

 

[Alto1]

Yes it was a bad throw and that's on Joey. Shouldn't have been in that situation that's on Heupel..

Joey panicked a few times yesterday in one form or another. Sometimes holding on to the ball for too long or forcing the issue.
Bottom line, he and the whole team were not mentally prepared for the third Saturday in October.
That’s in the coaching staff……..

More than not have been the entire season.

That’s what happens when you down grade from a $2 million QB to a $1.5 million QB.

Oh come on people stop with this Nico crap already! Y’all are like some dude that keeps crying over his ex girlfriend that left him for another man that makes more money! Yes Joey isn’t perfect but he has and conviction! Nico had neither all he wanted was more $$$’ Nico was rat poison! Joey has courage and the desire to win regardless of the $$$ he gets! Even if we lose the rest of the games this year I am still glad that greedy little Bas~~~ is gone!!

 

[Delmar]

Throw it to the outside is the ideal location but there’s no guarantee Kitselman would have caught it. Especially last night. Woof.

If it’s outside and he doesn’t catch it, it’s still a FG AND 16 to 10, not 23 to 7. Just a poor throw by Joey and that was the dagger.

Yep. I’ll take Joey all day everyday over Nico.

He got rattled a couple times early and the neck deal didn't help either..

On the safety he had two guys wide open in front of him. Overall I’d say he’s over performed but those mistakes can’t happen.

 

[GAVol]

Because everyone and their ****ing mother knew you weren’t handing the ball off.

I don’t like the personnel at all for that exact reason. No way we’re risking getting stud run stuffed and the clock running out.

 

[Stoerner Fumbles]

Clearly, your vote is as impotent as you are.

The jumbo package can cause problems there too.

 

[Redleg68]

Watching the linebackers vacating the zone at full speed was beyond bewildering.

and turning their back on the QB!

 

[Vol865]

Terrible game management with predictable playcalling. If you're going to run a play out of Goal Line, you do it on 1st and Goal, then you can throw it incomplete if nothing is there, run it on 2nd down and call a timeout, set up a FG.

You definitely don't back yourself into a corner where everyone and their mother knows you have to throw and try to throw out of Goal Line with 2 options throw it to.

We ran a run fake play when everyone in the world knew there was no chance we run. Bama used a timeout to tell their players this and set a formation, yet we still come out in the same look to run said play. It was awful. Heup once again in that 20 second stretch was outcoached.

Furthermore, if Heup burns the TO at 25 seconds we get an extra play and can kick a FG to end half. Terrible call, terrible clock management, terrible throw.

Our players are going to cost us from time to time. If you’re making 10 mil a year to coach you don’t get that same luxury.

 

[Stoerner Fumbles]

McCoy still good for the Arkansas game?

Of all the indignant idiots, you’re definitely a favorite.

It was a bad play call cuz it was play action and everyone in the stadium knew you had to throw it since we had no timeouts. I would have preferred a fade route in the end zone

It was coaching malpractice.

You’re a weirdo who gets off by being a gossip queen and a sassy 8th grade mean girl on the internet. And apparently making stuff up about Jermod McCoy.

 

[Orange_Vol1321]

I don't mean to pick on you but some of these posts aren't well informed. We couldn't run 3 straight times because we didn't have enough timeouts. That still does not excuse the play calling and clock management. Perhaps if Aguilar put the ball where only Kitselman could catch it then we take the 3 points. Instead it was low and inside.

Yea, forgot about the timeouts. I still would've preferred a slant or even a one on one 50/50 ball in the corner of the endzone.

 

[volfan411]

I’d have rather had our best receivers on the field for that play…from that formation we should have just run. That play works if the DBs bite on the run which they weren’t going to do…

Agreed I would rather them took a shot to Brazzel and if it wasn’t there kick the FG.

 

[B81]

It was a good play call, just poor execution. Go back and watch it. Our tight end had leverage, and space to complete the pass outside. The ball was thrown inside, literally the only place it absolutely could not be.

If the ball is outside it is a td or an incomplete pass.this one, and the safety ar on Aguilar.

It was clear it was even more dangerous with a TE that had no chance of running the DB down.

Agreed and Joey stared down where the ball was going that gave the DB time to react.
