Dammit

Bengals bust it open and instead of falling down and then kneeling out the clock, they score and the Giants now have a chance again, albeit a long shot. Just shitty coaching and lack of situational awareness….gosh, I’m tired of saying that.

What a crappy game.

still trying hard to bungle the shit out of this game

You've been mostly only riding the "post after a loss" bus for a long time. Including Caleb Downs' thread, repeatedly, despite that not being a loss.

You've been here since 2018. When would you say you have been enjoying OSU?

Oregon just proved it is, Texas might be, Georgia perhaps, Bama perhaps. But I really don't think our focus should be the National Championship. We've got something to prove the last Saturday of November. Do that and what happened today and what happens in December/January will be an afterthought.

Oregon and Texas have bragging rights. I don't know what that has to do with his point.

If OSU is this flawed, then how does Oregon prove it's up there with some of the best teams in decades based on being fortunate to beat an OSU team with no defense and 40% of an offensive line.

Also. the bama team that barely avoided consecutive losses to 3-2 doormats Vandy and SC is perhaps as good as the Saban era Bama teams, with unparalleled success in the last 75 years of CFB and the greatest coach in America. A dynasty built on defense (and later offense too), compared to a team that looks like 2012's OSU offense combined with 2018 OSU's defense.

Georgia has looked shaky throughout and doesn't have anywhere near the stability at the QB position that Stetson gave them.

Also their UGA defense played wildly worse than OSUs in their top 3 matchup vs Bama, and they did it against a QB who only remembers how to throw how to throw a football 50% of the time. And doesn't want to be a running QB despite being so dominant when he does.

That's without getting into how the locker room is going in Athens.

Feels like 14-10 final in this shit fest. I'm sick of Ohio sports right now.

Go Tribe!!

What happened to no leg-drop tackling? Chase Brown is lucky his ligaments are still attached on that swing pass.

Hit Mahomes like this shit and there would be dudes ejected.

Probably would've lost against Florida State for sure but that team was stacked talent wise, Mich St not so much, although it was a very competent team coached by a good football coach. But you're 100 % right that defense was broken. So broken in fact that they managed to successfully exploit it in that CCG.

2012 we probably would have lost it in the National Championship game as well even if we weren't bowl banned.

Jameis should thank the lobster gods that ND threw endless flags vs sparty. that Sparty defense would have broken him, much like Oregon did a year later.

instead he played room temperature Auburn.

Think they showed a clip of him on SNF between Cincy and NYG

… and for that matter, I think that this play exposed a huge hole in the rule book. If teams don’t start doing this somewhat intentionally from time to time, I’ll be surprised.

There _should_ be the option for the offended team to have the time put back on the clock.

1sttime 5 yards and nio clock loss 2nd 15 and no clock loss would fix it likely

Bengals Defensr going “no Mas” mode. Joe you better go super hero mode.

Yeah my bad I was thinking Bama was the undefeated team, I need to get my anti SEC bias vaccines up to date.

Ah right ND was the undefeated team, I though Bama was the one that had the unblemished resume but they did lose to Johnny Manziel's A&M.

Doing it a 2nd time would have actually benefitted us because it would have given us more yards than the route Smith ran

John Robinson having the lead at UNLV against Baylor, being able to take a knee, not taking a knee, trying to score another TD instead, then giving up a fumble 6 to lose is still my all-time favorite.

The bye couldn’t have come at a better time for them to re-jigger what they are going to have to do on the OL.

I believe that Simmons has one more year of eligibility. If so, I’m glad that he can make decisions for his future without having his hand forced by timing or depending on a medical red-shirt.

I suspect he’s back next year.

Cignetti is 5-0 and looks sharp but so far that's been a really weak SOS he's faced. Yes, he's kicked their asses, which is promising, but you might want to see how he does the next 5 games before putting him in a top 3 list to replace a coach who loses 2 games a year max.

Click to expand...

I really didn't have a top three list. Saban and Vrable were not possibilities for reasons stated. I was just throwing Cignetti out there if there was going to be a coaching search if Day loses to Michigan for a third year in a row. If Day beats Michigan this year then all of this is moot because there won't be a coaching change.

Penalties, sacks, and now a terrible drop by Chase. If Daniel Jones wasn’t total ass, who knows how bad this would be? These teams both suck.
