Hurts had a bad game


I don't get it. Why did he have a bad game? Had the A&M player not grabbed Foster's hand , we would have had another touchdown and would have cruised to an easy victory. (That pass was perfect btw)The gme was never really in doubt and it was the special teams and Foster's fumble that lead to A&M's scores. (Brilliant throws by A&M's QB also helped)

The whole offense, outside of the running backs, had a bad game. Oline wasn't handling their own and got whipped in the second half, WRs had drops and trouble blocking, Hurts missed on multiple throws, was tucking and running a bit too quickly and it seemed like he got happy feet. Regardless of the final score, it just wasn't their best job and the defense helped them out a lot as they usually do.

Hurts just missed on some throws - the deep bomb down the sideline and the crossing route Ridley had to dive for instead of catch and run come to mind. He also was quick to try and scramble and run, abandoning the pocket.

That was probably partially due to the oline having a bad game; however, I could also make the argument that if Hurts had stayed in and hit more of his throws then we could have worked the mid range / quick passes and gotten the A&M d to soften up a bit.

Are you saying you think Hurts had a good game?

ETA: Not that it matters (it shouldn't but it does to some people). I don't want Tua to start, I really like Hurts because although he is an average passer, I think he is improving in that regard and he is an exceptional runner.
