NFL Offseason, 2017

All sports. We don't even mind if its women's Curling or junior badminton. Although we won't have strong opinions on the latter.

Really, an interception going through your hands is giving up? No, it's just a miraculous play. Those happen in the NFL too. And there was no "lack of effort" on that last TD. Rosen made an incredible throw, the corner got caught in a bad spot.

You guys sound so ridiculous and joyless it's unbelievable. My mistake for even bringing up college football to people who shit on everything about it all the time and take pride in trying to ruin others' enjoyment of it, I won't do it again. :roll:
In the highlights, there was an Int opportunity that literally squeezed through a dbs hand and was caught a few yards behind him for a td. Ok, shit happens.

There was a play where the qb throws a wounded duck into a crowd, and it is a td. Ok, shit happens.

The play at the end, was a good throw for sure. Still a lack of effort in terms of coverage and then not even putting arms up or anything. Ok, shit happens.

Again, the comeback was great in terms of effort, I was expecting to see a little better football.

It's so funny when you guys try to act like these football elitists high fiving each other over how much you don't care about college football. Bills/Jets on Sunday should be a thriller though! And last year the Super Bowl was won because a team was stupid enough to not run out the clock. Great football! Fucking clowns. :lol:
Keep laughing.
#10 definitely should have tackled the receiver out of bounds and given UCLA first and goal at the one yard line with even less time for A&M to get a drive going at the end of the game. He also should have had three pairs of eyes so he could see the QB, the WR and the ball in the air at the same time. NFL corners famously have three pairs for the game plus a fourth pair for watching all the other amazing elite NFL games featuring Josh McCown and Brian Hoyer.

Caught in a bad spot. Perfect throws will do that to ANY corner. Harris is 5'10", he's not making the play in that corner's spot either. Do you not realize how hard it is to play the position?

Again, explain how either of those TDs were A&M "not trying". Miraculous yes. Enjoyable too if you like fun things in life. And the last throw was not a lack of effort at all. Your argument is ridiculous.

No, you weren't expecting better football. Because you only trash college football at every potential opportunity. Save that nonsense...

There isn't a single thing that corner could have done on that play other than draw a penalty to stop that TD. I've never seen a greater argument for corner being the hardest position in football than that nonsense about his "effort".

Did he make the play? No! He couldn't have made the play on Rosen in that corner's spot either. Who gives a fuck if he swings his arm up wildly at a ball he has no chance of hitting? Are you seriously that much of a snob and an elitist? By the way, #10 bumped the WR off the line, his job is to pin him to the sideline in that coverage. He did that. It was beaten by a perfect throw. You guys are out of your minds.

Did you not see the bump off the line that forced #2 to move to his right into a tight window along the sideline, which Rosen obliged by making a great play? The corner did his fucking job there. Exactly what he was supposed to do in that technique. He got turned around and lost track of the ball in the air so he couldn't react on time. That has NOTHING to do with effort. Corner is fucking hard to play, let's not lie about players' efforts because you like to shit on college football.

Didn't pin him hard enough beings he caught it in bounds, huh fuck? If you're gonna call off the corner, do your fucking job! Let's give a half assed push then just lollygag into the endzone with the game winning catch, great job!

Newsflash: You can't just two-hand shove a WR out of bounds, that gives UCLA first and goal from the 1. It was a solid bump that had its desired effect, containing a WR to a small window that only a great throw can beat. There was no lollygagging, the corner has three fucking jobs there and he got caught in a spot in a split second, that shit happens at all levels and it's in no way an indictment of the level of play at ALL. The ONLY play that could have been made was tackling the WR. In the context of the coverage and the play, he did his fucking job. Because a rare instance of a PERFECT throw beating the technique happens once, he should have gifted UCLA new downs from the 1 with less time for his team's offense? You're so wrong here.

Again, pretty ridiculous that you'd undermine how hard the position is and the spot he ended up in. In all of team sports, there is not a position that athletically stretches you like corner. Just stupid to say #10 wasn't trying and every cornerback who has ever played would agree.

Ok, it was a secondary who was sloppy as fuck then. When you see a qb chucking ducks into a crowd and throwing short on a deep post right into a DBs hands, when you are way behind, you would ordinarily lose.

All this amounts to is the same three people in this section shitting on college football at every opportunity and acting like snobs. You picked a joke of an example to discredit the level of play here but I also know it doesn't matter because really all that matters is getting your laughs in about college football and patting yourselves on the back for being so aligned in your condescension and only liking "good football". College football discussion can't breathe here, it was true ten years ago and it's true now so there's no point, you take joy in being assholes about it every time. 34 point comeback and these are the fucking responses. It's a goddamn slap in the face but I shouldn't be surprised.

If that was a "duck" it doesn't even reach the endzone from the angle he released, so that's incorrect. And yeah, the DBs didn't play great. Who fucking cares? It's fucking entertainment, not judging fucking figure skating.

Not even saying he's a good player or played it perfectly. But lack of effort? With 45 seconds left up by 6? Come on.

How many of the most famous plays in NFL history are in part a product of other players fucking up? I've never heard anyone complain about how aesthetically bad the Eli to Tyree or the Sea of Hands plays were so a lot of this is really confirmation bias at play.

You have made the play for A&M far more than UCLA in this thread, I dig it. #10 is a fucking hero and I am buying his jersey before Rosen's.

Maybe not lack of effort, but rewatching it again he definitely whiffed on that coverage. His feet froze as the receiver got to him. Big football no-no.
