Holding onto the ball too long looking for the deep ball. He forgot about check downs and tried to force balls into places he shouldn’t have.

I love the guy, but he didn’t look good tonight.

The whole team other than Josh Jacobs and Q were pretty much trash tonight.

That is an all year things. Hopefully he he got humbled and learns to hit the checkdown instead of hero ball.

He moved the ball well enough.

Locksley couldn’t get out of his own way.

I thought Tua made 3 bad throws and missed a blitz. Problem is they were both really bad picks with big returns. If we weren’t down so much we could’ve kicked FGs to at least score but damn we were getting killed.

I think the Pick 6 was just a great defensive call by Venables.Interesting enough Tebow said postgame tht Venables got him with the same play in the 08 NCG.

But Tua does predetermine a little too much and doesnt take the checkdown enough. I saw 2 or 3 plays where the RBs were wide open for a checkdown 1st down and he didnt get it to them.

No, he didn't look good but you'd be hard pressed
to find anyone on the team or coaching staff who looked
terrific. Our OL did Tua no favors either. Out played and
out coached, with no visible signs of adjustments
anywhere.

The worse thing that happened to him was the long throw early to Jeudy for a TD. After that, he made bad read after bad read trying to hit it again.

I am simply amazed at how people are trying so hard to deflect blame from only Tua.

He costed us an early lead with a stupid throw. He then overthrew Juedy, throwing into triple coverage which lead to the second INT.

He missed Ruggs on an open TD when we could have came back.

Dude has a nightmare game and somehow everyone else should be blamed for it.


This is why he feels entitled and why he didn't change all year. We need him to know he's not perfect, adapt his game and mix things up. We couldn't beat this team with Jalen! We need Tua to grow up, make smart throws and not gamble, not force things deep, take what the defense gave him...


We didn't get that.

He was fine. The skill position guys were about all we had last night. A few bad throws (but accuracy was really on point otherwise) and reads and he pressed things, especially towards the end, but those things happen. For all the love Lawrence is going to get, he would've done a lot worse had he been our QB last night.

We gifted them a pick TD and pissed away 25 points on four drives where we reached 1st and goal but only scored 3 points total. 7 + 25 = 32. We lost by 28. And we threw a pick in the red zone on another drive. We could've (should've) won that game.

I was very disappointed in our defensive plan and calls. Venables did a great job with the variety of disguised blitzes. We were very vanilla, rushing 3 most of the time and showing our blitzes when we did call them. We made it easy for Clemson's offense. Our goal-to-go offensive play calling was very bad.

This loss was not like the final score. And it falls much more on a poor job of in-game coaching than on the players or anything else, imo.
