Other than the penalty, 4 of Georgia’s 5 offensive plays have gone for negative yards. Go ACC/Independece!

Getting mad about an offsides INT is hilarious lol

I'm not mad. I'm being objective.

Haysom Till

For that particular play, you're being objectively absurd

Indy Coug

1:43pm

I don't think it's absurd to point out that on our free play he threw a wobbly duck straight into lil Sanders arms. How

Haysom Till

Well, you at least know you have everyone else's support but mine on this point

Indy Coug

1:57pm

touche

Haysom Till

2:15pm

He doesn’t throw that without the offsides

maxpowers

1:44pm

of course. but his throw was so horrible. wasn't catchable by any of our guys and was catchable by CU.

Haysom Till

1:45pm

it wasn't catchable by a BYU WR as the WR was interfered with, despite the lack of a DPI flag

Littlerich

1:51pm

We should've been mad if he didn't taken that shot downfield

thewaterboy

1:46pm

of course. red herring argument. It's that he is inaccurate, not that he took a downfield shot on a free play.

Haysom Till

1:56pm

I am taking the positive road, TNT note please, and believe he will improve.

Archaea

1:42pm

I hope so as well. We didn't feel the pain of the INTs this year as much cuz our team was better overall, but he ended

Haysom Till

1:44pm

It seems he wanted to make a hero throw and he needs to let the game come to him

Archaea

1:52pm

100%. I guess that is a gunslinger mentality.

Haysom Till

1:56pm

He doesn't have Josh Allen's arm strength or accuracy, but he thinks he does.

Archaea

2:04pm

Agreed. He's Brett Favre minus the fact that he ain't Brett Favre.

Haysom Till

2:09pm

You bring up Josh Allen...

SoCalCoug

2:17pm

Sorry, you don’t get to count an INT on an offsides call when he was taking a shot that was not the play call.

mulletino

1:42pm

Officially he had 2. We can bury our head in the sand and pretend he is an accurate passer.

Haysom Till

1:43pm

Or we can make stuff up to try and support our point.

Nothing I stated is made up. Again, objectivity can smack us in the face at times. I think we ended the season on such

Haysom Till

1:54pm

He didn’t throw 4 INTs. That is made up.

Ozymandias

1:59pm

What happend on the free play? What happened on the 2-point conversion? Tell me in your own words.

Haysom Till

2:02pm

The free play didn’t count and was an offsides penalty. The 2 point conversion

Ozymandias

2:16pm

Yes, the only reason it wasn't close was Chase was trying to sell a PI call. Definitely not on Retzlaff

Bob Vance

My biggest thing for him in the off-season would be to learn some touch. I've never seen a college QB

same speed and velocity on every throw. I think part of it is his throwing mechanics.

Haysom Till

Obviously you don't remember Jake Heaps. He rifled the ball on a 5 yard out

It’s well documented that I am no Jake apologist but the INT on the offsides is

Haysom Till

1:50pm

Ehhh, I will give you the INT is a problem, but for mostly two reasons...

ChinaFan

I've resigned myself to see Jake as an Academy QB. A few options, limited passing, keep the offense moving.

While I agree with a lot of that, Jake also saved them on many drives and plays.
