When he flashes he really flashes. Unfortunately his fizzles are pretty spectacular too. Nobody gets to skip the QB learning curve. Not even a Manning.

He probably would have hit a few more passes today and may have seen the open intermediate crosser Arch keeps missing on some of his deep shots. He also would have been sacked about 5 times by SJSU.

Reported by another site.

It wasn’t alcohol. Apparently OTF members aren’t the only ones who like Rogue Shop.

Yup. We didn’t watch Arch throw into triple coverage all day. He threw into coverage a few times. Fine. It happens. It wasn’t about him missing some wide open reads. That happens too. It was watching him badly miss open WRs with his passes when he made good reads. That’s a different level of fail, and needs to get much better quickly, because that’s a base level of execution that’s non negotiable.

The greatest CFB coach of all time by a mile struggled in the NFL.

The fact that you can’t sense the complete irony of that post is peak you.

DeBoer was dumb enough to follow the undisputed GOAT, and, minus a great season, will probably be on the hot seat at the end of the year. Alabama fans have forgotten what it is to have a mortal football program like the rest of us. We sucked yesterday. It’s ok to say that. It’s not a crazy take. We score 7 points, and lost a game where Ohio State barely bothered to try to play offense. People suggesting that Sark might need to surrender the reins as a play caller are also not over the top. Particularly given that the guy who just beat him twice consecutively did just that. It’s been an ongoing topic of conversation for some time now. No, I haven’t joined that chorus yet. Overreacting would be calling for the firing of the entire staff or quitting on the season. People are people, all of these reactions are expected, and could be largely preprinted for them if anyone bothers to pay attention to message board behavior. We looked like microwaved dog turds on national tv ranked number one against a huge opponent after a preseason of hearing how good we are going to be. The reactions are expected. Don’t talk down to people for them just because they don’t fan like you do.

It is what it is anywhere sports matter to people who can post about it. Good take. Hookem.

And about your standard reply as well. Yes, it’s sanctimonious. A claiming of some fictional internet high ground because fanatics react emotionally to the thing they love.

Standard post loss topics. A bunch of “Oh Noes. We suck!” Usually a suggestion or three that “We fire or reassign a coach.” Someone will bop in with a “…but how will this affect recruiting ?” thread. And, of course, you get sanctimonious threads like this one where someone claims moral high ground for “not overreacting.” It is what it is, and you can copy and paste most of the posts minus a few game specifics on any sports message board in America.

Arch is a capable scrambler, and not a power rusher. He doesn’t have a feel for designed QB runs and looks timid in the hole. Something for our coaches to remember moving forward. Thats young QB stuff, and probably not a little bit of Sark joysticking his QB with helmet communications. Probably a little bit of what Sark meant when he said he needs to let Arch go play more.

I’d tap the brakes on the defense. OSU barely attempted to play offense yesterday and were content to not beat themselves while our offense generally fornicated with the football. We have the pieces to be special on defense, but I’ll wait to anoint them as great until I see them contend with an offense actually interested in being offensive with similar talent.

Football is hard when a team of equal talent refuses to use the playground you’ve built for them. It took us about 2.5 quarters to figure that out, and adjust. Maybe with an extra quarter to work with we could have done something. I suspect several other teams will accept that we don’t have the developed running backs to make them pay for shrugging their shoulders at our rushing attack. In some defense of Sark he had to go in blind against the Patricia defense, but you have to see pretty early on that they weren’t going to let Sayin beat them and take the FGs. The general inaccuracy displayed yesterday was a revelation.

That Heritage OL was basically a turnstile. Felt bad for the St. Jo punter who rushed his kick after a bad snap resulting in the own block and winning field position for Bell’s team.
