Well we all knew a game like this was going to come eventually.
A team that can stop the run, will stop our offense. The coaches should have let Fromm air it out some in the games when we were up by 20+.

Chaney's play calling gave us no advantage though, we put our freshman qb in a bunch of 3rd and longs. But the main concern I have after that game was how much pressure auburn had when they were just rushing 4. Our lines got their man hood taken away from them yesterday.

Maybe, but I said...had we made the FG, would would have been down by 6. Then if we had not gotten the penalty on the punt we would have gotte good field position. not saying we would have scored, but if we had it would have been a up by 1(or down by 3 if it was only a FG) point deficit. As it was we went down 15.

If we don't overthrow a wide open reciever

What? he wasn't overthrown! The receiver should have made that catch. It wasn't a perfect throw by any stretch, but he wasn't overthrown and it was easily catchable.

Sure he could have caught it, but it also should have been a walk-in touchdown

Ridley slowed down to throw his hand up in the air after the ball had left Fromm's hand. That and his lack of adjustment prevented the catch, not a bad throw.

Yes, and the throw was leading Ridley away from defenders. Ridley just failed to adjust.

Absolutely. If it hits you in the hands, you should catch it.

It was a bad throw. He was wide open and still had to drive for it. Take Fromm's dick out of your mouth. He played poorly. Simple as that.

ETA: That's directed at everyone defending Fromm. Not Vox.

Fromm played fine. We gave him zero running game and zero pass protection. Blaming him is like blaming Murray for the SC loss in 2012.

On the list of issues yesterday, Fromm is like 48th down the list.

13/28 isn't fine.

Missing a wide open receiver isn't fine.

If it was, Eason would still be our QB.

Fromm played his first bad game. It's okay to admit it.

You think I'm some Fromm apologist? I've been downvoted to hell for criticizing him for stupid moments he's had throughout the year.

He was bad @ Tennessee, he was shaky against Notre Dame, but we didn't give him a chance to be successful yesterday.

Ridley dropped a TD (or at the worst a 25+ yard gain), we gave him no running game or pass protection. We left out to dry.

It's hard to fault the guy jumping over the shield, he was trying to make a play.


It is pretty easy to me. Even if he blocked it, it is a personal foul on him and first down for them.

He had been told not to leap and he did it anyway.

Guys were pressing way too much. It is why we gave up 3 passing TDs on screen plays.

Yes. I thought that is what i said? Had he caught it, it would have been a walk in touch down. It was thrown to his left and he adjusted his route too late. That could have been due to a lot of things. maybe he had a hard time seeing where the ball was headed? I don't know. but he should have caught the ball easily and had an easy TD. Not sure why the poster was blaming Fromm.
Perfect throw? no. Uncatchable throw? not by a long shot.

He had 2-3 easy drops. Was he perfect? by no means. He had an average, so/so to slightly below average.
game.

Crap, Chubb ran 11 times for 27 yards, and Michel ran 9 times for 21 yards. Fromm wasn't the only problem we had put there. Did he put the team on his shoulders and win the game for us? no. Did he lose the game? no.

I didn't say he was solely to blame. But I don't know how anyone could watch that game and think he played "fine".

My main concern is stupid coaching decisions. It's almost like Kirby and Chaney didn't want to win. Given how dumb our coaches were it no wonder individual players became frustrated and lost their cool.

Kevin Steele had Chaney's number all day. Outside of the opening drive that resulted in our first TD, there was zero chance our line was beating theirs. I don't know why this was, but it's a fact all the same.

The cardinal sin I saw the team commit yesterday was rolling over and quitting after Mecole's PR fumble. Championship teams find a way to move on after a punch to the gut like that, and our team didn't respond to that development like a championship team.

There's a lot of truth to the observations to our being ahead of schedule in Kirby's rebuild of Georgia.

The game really turned on 2 plays, in my opinion. Ridley dropping a sure TD pass and Walker's leaping penalty that turned into 7 points. Not saying we would have won, but it would have probably been a 1 possession game either way at the end.

The pass would have put pressure on Auburn's D and likely opened them up a little bit. Walker's penalty kept a tired defense on the field instead of getting a 3-and-out, and the TD that was scored permanently swung momentum in auburn's favor. Out of all of our stupid penalties, that one probably hurt the most.
