MSU vs MSU: Don't Beat Ourselves Game Thread

[ShotgunDawg]

Let's do this Baby!

Play sound football & stretch the field

[Commercecomet24]

I agree, Gun!

[Bdawg]

Eliminate mental errors and stupid penalties and I think our D keeps us in the game. We have to finish drives and get in the endzone early.

[Coach34]

Crank up the Airbone!!!

[Commercecomet24]

Crank up the Airbone!!!

Man I really wish hope we become really successful because this would make some cool shirts

[TNDawg35]

Oh my god! We’re gonna loose cause we have white helmets on***

[DownwardDawg]

Man I really wish hope we become really successful because this would make some cool shirts

Haha!!! Absolutely!!!!

I would love for us to win this game. We need it bad.

[ShotgunDawg]

Crank up the Airbone!!!

Crank that shit up baby!

[ShotgunDawg]

A&M has more money that Amazon.

Always amazing to see that stadium. Just absurd

[ShotgunDawg]

Good, Jimbo has his 8 page play sheet tonight. We should be good

[ShotgunDawg]

Let's get a turnover early

[ShotgunDawg]

I think the kickoff fair catch is BS

[ShotgunDawg]

Great job defense

[ShotgunDawg]

Boom MFers

[preachermatt83]

Crumedy destroyed their right tackle.

[Bdawg]

BIG!!!!! But should have been completed

[schddog72]

Oh my god! We?re gonna loose cause we have white helmets on***

All white unis; totally cursed!!

[ShotgunDawg]

We run the same 1st play every game

[ShotgunDawg]

Atta boy Rogers

[ShotgunDawg]

Good swing pass

[BrunswickDawg]

I'm in Valdosta tonight, and just watched a D2 Airraid run 2 play, 2 pass 80 yard TD drive. Proof air road works****

[schddog72]

I think the kickoff fair catch is BS

I'd wager that 95% of the time it's the smart play field position wise.

[ShotgunDawg]

Run the damn ball there

[maroonmania]

Cant get it in. Please kick the FG.

[ShotgunDawg]

Damn. Gotta be better there. RZ offense has to be better

[preachermatt83]

Crap

[Bdawg]

Got 0 with the run. And we can't get in AGAIN!!!!! Crap!!!!

[ShotgunDawg]

Good start. At least we're ahead. That's not typical

[RocketDawg]

Shoulda got 7 there. But 3's better than nothing.

[ShotgunDawg]

Got 0 with the run. And we can't get in AGAIN!!!!! Crap!!!!

The RZ offense is the single biggest weakness on the team.

To the positive though, A&M's pass rush was nowhere to be found

[BayouDawg]

Had walley for the TD but will was way off

[maroonmania]

Run the damn ball there

Totally backwards. Should have run it on 2nd and 4 so if you get stuffed you still have 3rd down. We arent going to run for 3rd and 4 inside the 10 very often.

[TNDawg35]

I’ll take it.. better than nothing… take whatever points we can tonight…

[PGHBulldogBG]

Thank you for kicking the field goal. Hopefully he learned after Memphis

[ShotgunDawg]

Had walley for the TD but will was way off

A perfect throw is a TD, but he's wasn't wide open

[ShotgunDawg]

Totally backwards. Should have run it on 2nd and 4 so if you get stuffed you still have 3rd down. We arent going to run for 3rd and 4 inside the 10 very often.

I posted that on 2nd & 4

[Bdawg]

Nose guard blew the run up on that play

[Bdawg]

And we promptly have to get in on the screw ups and kick it out of bounds

[maroonmania]

I posted that on 2nd & 4

Yea I know. I was saying our playcalling was totally backwards.

[ShotgunDawg]

Jesus Goodman. That can't happen

[preachermatt83]

There is never an excuse for a kicker to kick the ball out of bounds on a kickoff

[ShotgunDawg]

Good job baby

[ShotgunDawg]

Defense has to be faster there

[ShotgunDawg]

There is our defense again. They are allergic to big plays

[BayouDawg]

We let them run the ball consistently and it will be a long night.

[Offshore Dawg]

We may loose to that one running back !!!

[Travelingdawg]

Defense sucks!!!!!!!

[maroonmania]

Well that lead didn't last too long.

[ShotgunDawg]

Peters burned again.

Terrible defense there

[Vandownbytheriver]

Our defense gives up way too many big plays. You can pretty much expect them to give up 3-4 per game. And our pass D sucks ass

[BayouDawg]

Well that was just great by the defense.

[BuckyIsAB****]

Our safeties and Arnett are so damn hard headed. Trips kicks our ass so hard bc Arnett wont change

[ShotgunDawg]

Defense sucks!!!!!!!

It's not been good. Our pass rush never gets home & Arnett doesn't really adjust

[maroonmania]

Peters burned again.

Terrible defense there

Maybe that should be our football motto, "Dawgs burned again".

[BuckyIsAB****]

A misalignment and the same old shit by Arnett

[ShotgunDawg]

Our safeties and Arnett are so damn hard headed. Trips kicks our ass so hard bc Arnett wont change

Arnett has been exposed a little this year. Teams obviously knew how to prepare for him.

Really bad defense that drive

[BuckyIsAB****]

We dont have one good safety on the team

[Bdawg]

Our safeties and Arnett are so damn hard headed. Trips kicks our ass so hard bc Arnett wont change

Safeties are definitely weak link

[BayouDawg]

Is tony Hughes still our safeties coach? Hes never been a great position coach but was usually a dynamite recruiter. It seems his recruiting ability has gone down so what is he bringing to the table?

[BuckyIsAB****]

We have 6 LBs on the field. No safeties. 3-6-2

[preachermatt83]

Y’all whine so much about leach and the offense all while kissing Arnett’s tail. Our defense hurts us constantly

[ShotgunDawg]

Safeties are definitely weak link

For two years now.

Seems like we've actually got highly recruited players there, which makes it more odd

[Bdawg]

Arnett has been exposed a little this year. Teams obviously knew how to prepare for him.

Really bad defense that drive

It's one thing to blitz but he brings the house a lot and we don't get home enough when he does.

[Lord McBuckethead]

How come our safeties disappear on 3rd and 1. I am so tired of seeing 55 yard gains on 3rd and 1.

Also, why are our safeties always letting guys run right by them. Our guys are always 2 steps back chasing a WR or TE down the field. Do we ever get break ups or even contest long throws?

[preachermatt83]

Is tony Hughes still our safeties coach? Hes never been a great position coach but was usually a dynamite recruiter. It seems his recruiting ability has gone down so what is he bringing to the table?

Nothing. Literally

[ShotgunDawg]

Texas A&M 1-0 on RZ trips

[BayouDawg]

It's one thing to blitz but he brings the house a lot and we don't get home enough when he does.

Not only that but he telegraphs when we are bringing the house so it always picked up. No disguise whatsoever

[War Machine Dawg]

Y’all whine so much about leach and the offense all while kissing Arnett’s tail. Our defense hurts us constantly

They've quit because they know that the offense can't score against 11 strategically placed chairs, much less a defense with 11 people. See Croom 2008 for reference.

[magrooder]

crossing pattern was wide ass open

[ShotgunDawg]

That's on Will. Complete BS. Throw the damn ball

[BayouDawg]

You cant hold the ball that long

[preachermatt83]

Will Rogers hold the stupid ball too long. I’m sick of that

[ShotgunDawg]

Good job

[War Machine Dawg]

Nothing. Literally

I said at the time hiring him as an on the field coach was a terrible idea. I wanted him as an off the field recruiting coordinator.

[ShotgunDawg]

Will looks accurate tonight

[War Machine Dawg]

Will looks accurate tonight

Hard to be inaccurate when you're the ultimate Checkdown Charlie.

[magrooder]

Good run by Marks

[ShotgunDawg]

Atta boy Marks. Huge

[Coach34]

Airbone that ass!!!

[ShotgunDawg]

Boom baby

[maroonmania]

Dang, Heath should have gone on in. We will have trouble scoring a TD now.

[ShotgunDawg]

Good run

[magrooder]

Johnson running hard and a good block on the outside for him

[Bdawg]

Dang get it in. Good run DJ

[ShotgunDawg]

Goaline offense isn't our thing

[ShotgunDawg]

Penalty baby.

Stupid play call though. Extremely low percentage call

[BayouDawg]

They've quit because they know that the offense can't score against 11 strategically placed chairs, much less a defense with 11 people. See Croom 2008 for reference.

Yea croom routinely racked up 400 yards.

[Bdawg]

Please push it in!!!

[magrooder]

Finally get a break in the red zone

[ShotgunDawg]

Johnson has to get in there

[BayouDawg]

If we had a play where will kept it he walks in

[magrooder]

Walley with the six

[Maverick91]

Johnson doesn’t have good vision. The hole was there.

[ShotgunDawg]

BOOM.

our RZ offense sucks ass but the offense is good

[BayouDawg]

That a baby walley! Will was fantastic on that drive

[Bdawg]

Penalty gave us enough chances!! Need to win this first quarter

[magrooder]

Johnson doesn’t have good vision. The hole was there.

Yep my observation as well

[War Machine Dawg]

Credit where it's due, good drive there

[ShotgunDawg]

Johnson doesn’t have good vision. The hole was there.

Yeah. He won't get many better chances than that

[Lord McBuckethead]

How quick does our defense give up the lead again?

[ShotgunDawg]

Credit where it's due, good drive there

Is a great scheme man. As our talent gets better, It's going to be on

[Bdawg]

Johnson doesn’t have good vision. The hole was there.

I saw 69 not hit the guy that made the tackle.

[magrooder]

How quick does our defense give up the lead again?

3 and out this time.

[TNDawg35]

That may have been one of the best drives of the season. WR were running routes hard, backs running good, and Will making good decisions. He hit Heath almost perfect on his pass.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Penalty baby.

Stupid play call though. Extremely low percentage call

The way we do it, it is absolutely a terrible play call. It hasn?t worked yet this season. 0-4

[ShotgunDawg]

What I want everyone to notice with our offense is that Memphis & La Tech look the same as LSU & A&M

The caliber of defense doesn't matter vs us. It's only about our execution.

I think people are going to be shocked at how the move the ball on Bama

[BuckyIsAB****]

Leach for the love of God add something in the red zone

[BayouDawg]

Credit where it's due, good drive there

You sound excited about your teams success.

[Lord McBuckethead]

3 and out this time.

I hope it is a first play turnover, but so am guessing a 6 play TD.

[BuckyIsAB****]

We make our life so much harder

[War Machine Dawg]

Yea croom routinely racked up 400 yards.

Not this shit again. No one givea a 17 how many plastic yards you generate if it isn't ending in points. We aren't scoring points. Moving between the 25s means less than shit.

[preachermatt83]

Best offensive drive i remember us having against a good defense in a long time. Offense gives us a change. Defense costs us

[Bdawg]

Yeah. He won't get many better chances than that

69 got to go hunting somebody on run plays too. Hit no one.

[ShotgunDawg]

Can we not kick the damn thing in the end zone?

[BayouDawg]

The way we do it, it is absolutely a terrible play call. It hasn?t worked yet this season. 0-4

It seems like we were better at it last year. Osirus while not flashy could absolutely run a fade.

[Matt3467]

Who's kicking off for us?

[ShotgunDawg]

Boy, our defense looks like ass

[magrooder]

They are whipping our ass on the line

[Bdawg]

Ok we getting torched in run game

[ShotgunDawg]

No one has run on us like this.

[BayouDawg]

Not this shit again. No one givea a 17 how many plastic yards you generate if it isn't ending in points. We aren't scoring points. Moving between the 25s means less than shit.

Settle down Francis and enjoy the game

[ShotgunDawg]

Better

[Matt3467]

Can we not kick the damn thing in the end zone?

We were but all of sudden we can't get close to the end zone and we've already kicked one out of bounds. Who's kicking off?

[CaptainObvious]

I?m 68 and I don?t believe peters could tackle me.

[magrooder]

What a bullshit penalty, that is NEVER called

[ShotgunDawg]

Terrible call. The guy was fighting for yards

[BayouDawg]

We were but all of sudden we can't get close to the end zone and we've already kicked one out of bounds. Who's kicking off?

Hows the wind situation there?

[Bdawg]

And stupid penalties

[mparkerfd20]

That's a bullshit penalty. You play to the whistle which he did.

[ShotgunDawg]

That' awful. Just awful. He was fighting for yards

[preachermatt83]

I’m so sick of arnett and our defense

[VandelayIndustries]

So dumb

[maroonmania]

What a joke. All we know how to do is beat ourselves.

[BayouDawg]

Awful call

[ShotgunDawg]

Calzada has no accuracy

[CaptainObvious]

And stupid penalties

How the hell do these Dumbasses even pass enough to get into college? They are damn ignorant!!!

[Bdawg]

What a bullshit penalty, that is NEVER called

Very true

[BayouDawg]

The guy just fell down like a little bitch. Not a penalty

[magrooder]

I watched these same type tackles all day long and no penalties were called.

[Maverick91]

I think this defense is missing a solid pass rush. You can’t be so suspect in the back end with no pass rush.

Edit: we are ******* offense without Dak.

[ShotgunDawg]

I watched these same type tackles all day long and no penalties were called.

Yeah. That was a trash call from a trigger happy ref.

The A&M guy was literally fighting for yards

[BeardoMSU]

I’m so sick of arnett and our defense

Lol

[BuckyIsAB****]

Worst defensive quarter since Arnett has been here. That was really really bad

[ShotgunDawg]

I think this defense is missing a solid pass rush. You can’t be so suspect in the back end with no pass rush.

100%. The loss of Jordan Davis really 17ed us. Possibly a 2-3 game swing

[CaptainObvious]

Brule gets a stupid penalty and then gets his ass outsmarted on the QB keeper. Get Jet Johnson back out there. Our Road Scholar can?t get anything right.

[Bdawg]

I watched these same type tackles all day long and no penalties were called.

Yeah push running backs backwards who don't go down way after the whistle with no call.

[Matt3467]

Hows the wind situation there?

2mph winds per weather channel. It appears we have another kicker this game.

[BuckyIsAB****]

Brule gets a stupid penalty and then gets his ass outsmarted on the QB keeper. Get Jet Johnson back out there. Our Road Scholar can?t get anything right.

Johnson over ran the zone and we got gashed. We havent even slowed them down. The pick was a wide open drop

[CaptainObvious]

That's a bullshit penalty. You play to the whistle which he did.

No. The whistle happened before he threw the guy down. He played to, through and past the whistle.

[Bdawg]

Worst defensive quarter since Arnett has been here. That was really really bad

Agree. We're supposed to be stout against the run and aTm has been suspect running it so far this year. 2 freshmen on their line right now.

[ShotgunDawg]

Make adjustments Arnett

[ShotgunDawg]

Great job Defense

[BayouDawg]

Good job defense! Wheat

[ShotgunDawg]

He never recovered the fumble

Was bobbling it on the ground

Where is the review??

[BuckyIsAB****]

Zero coverage against trips again

[maroonmania]

I watched these same type tackles all day long and no penalties were called.

That's because we weren't playing with SEC refs involved. And I absolutely am not saying that sarcastically.

[ShotgunDawg]

Rogers is firing tonight

[Bdawg]

Good looking pitch play

[ShotgunDawg]

Great play call

[magrooder]

Tulu sighting

[ShotgunDawg]

Tulu is good

[preachermatt83]

The air raid is a thing of beauty when it’s ran correctly.

[ShotgunDawg]

Come on Johnson

[ShotgunDawg]

Damn.

Will needs some pump fakes

[magrooder]

Ruiz needs to get healthy

[vindastra]

What's ailing our special teams?

[ShotgunDawg]

Damn. Not having our kicker is killing us

[preachermatt83]

Please put marks back in

[BuckyIsAB****]

Where is Brandon Ruiz this kid has missed 2 of his last 3

[ShotgunDawg]

What's ailing our special teams?

Ruiz is hurt. It may cost us multiple games

[ShotgunDawg]

Defense has to step here. We're playing too well

[Dawgology]

Geez…that batted ball play we had two WR’s running open down the middle of the field. That was a big oversight

[Activated Alpha]

I expect the Pirate to go for it on 4th and close when we are within field goal range. This kid is killing us

[ShotgunDawg]

Geez…that batted ball play we had two WR’s running open down the middle of the field. That was a big oversight

Yeah. The A&M guy raising his hand was the only way that play was stopped.

[Matt3467]

Ruiz is hurt. It may cost us multiple games

How long is he out for?

[Roy Munson]

Wally was open. He sat down on his route and will didn?t see him so he kept going. Good and bad there. Good, Wally did what the offense expects, will just missed him.

[ShotgunDawg]

We're getting gashed. Haven't see in this in a while

[BayouDawg]

Defense has to stop the run. Our defensive line is getting their shit pushed in

[CaptainObvious]

I am going to say the inability to block for the run at the 50 on first down killed that drive. Johnson might have gained 2 if he catches the pass. Will had to throw a loft pass on 3rd and long and instead threw a line drive towards Marks. And gets it blocked.

[ShotgunDawg]

Atta boy Jett

[magrooder]

Good stop by the D

[BayouDawg]

Great job defense!

[maroonmania]

Becoming obvious we have to totally outplay an opponent to win between our red zone woes, stupid penalties, bad turnovers and poor FG kicking.

[preachermatt83]

I’m so sick of our backup kicker

[ShotgunDawg]

Does the opponent ever shank one vs us?

Seems like every punt is 60 yards when we play

[ShotgunDawg]

Becoming obvious we have to totally outplay an opponent to win between our red zone woes, stupid penalties, bad turnovers and poor FG kicking.

Well, we've got an NFL kicker who is out right now.

Between him and Jordan Davis, we're probably 4-0 right now

[BayouDawg]

Becoming obvious we have to totally outplay an opponent to win between our red zone woes, stupid penalties, bad turnovers and poor FG kicking.

In the Memphis game and LSU game it looked like we were just waiting around for the opponent to give us the game. This team has got to realize you have to go out there and force the issue each week.

[preachermatt83]

Geez…that batted ball play we had two WR’s running open down the middle of the field. That was a big oversight

Walley had nooone within 15 yards of him

[ShotgunDawg]

Alright offense. Let's do it here

[ShotgunDawg]

Sawyer is on the sideline.

We take 4 stringers to road games?

[BayouDawg]

If Will gets a better ball the Johnson he gets 5 or 6

[BayouDawg]

I really like Polk

[ShotgunDawg]

Will threaded that bitch

[maroonmania]

Well, we've got an NFL kicker who is out right now.

Between him and Jordan Davis, we're probably 4-0 right now

I know all of that. But none of it changes what I said. Fact is we don't have Jordan or Ruiz right now and will never have Jordan. Not sure when Ruiz will be back.

[ShotgunDawg]

Dillon Johnson might stink. Good heavens

[preachermatt83]

What have we done to make every referee in America hate us?

[ShotgunDawg]

Dillon Johnson takes a 10 yard gain & turns it into a 4 yarder

[maroonmania]

Polk should have cut that back to the inside to get the 1st.

[MoreCowbell]

Where has this Will been all year? Love he is looking down field more this game

[preachermatt83]

What an awful spot

[ShotgunDawg]

our players habitually never fall forward.

We break no tackles as a team

Polk has to make someone miss there or at least not square him up.

[BayouDawg]

Polk you gotta get that. Williams and Polk killed that drive.

[maroonmania]

We are looking to pull some Kiffin crap here I guess going for it on 4th and 2 in our own territory this early?

[preachermatt83]

Dillon Johnson takes a 10 yard gain & turns it into a 4 yarder

Yup. And I really like woody.

[PGHBulldogBG]

We are looking to pull some Kiffin crap here I guess going for it on 4th and 2 in our own territory this early?

Kiffin knew it was his only chance to win that. We better not do something like that considering we are playing even with them right now

[ShotgunDawg]

We are looking to pull some Kiffin crap here I guess going for it on 4th and 2 in our own territory this early?

Nah. Just trying to see if we could get them to jump

[magrooder]

Specials teams is woeful

[BayouDawg]

Our special teams gets worse each game.

[CaptainObvious]

You are being kind.

[ShotgunDawg]

Terrible block in the back when he turned the edge but no call

[vindastra]

"Special" team

[ShotgunDawg]

They caught the 2nd block in the back. The 1st one was uncalled & would pen them inside the 20

[Apoplectic]

Special teams are worse than retarded

[ShotgunDawg]

Joey Jones running our special teams again?

[BuckyIsAB****]

Walley had nooone within 15 yards of him

I swear to God yall watch different games or see what you wanna see. Their was a LB waiting there that turned and walled him off. Walley was open for a split second and he did sit down but this just aint true

[BayouDawg]

We may as well switch to the rugby style punt to negate a return. Or just boot that bitch out of bounds.

[Maverick91]

Idk about y’all but this Johnsonville commercial is super awesome!

[CaptainObvious]

our players habitually never fall forward.

We break no tackles as a team

Polk has to make someone miss there or at least not square him up.

He was.waiting for contact instead of initiating it. He is 6?3? 215. He should be delivering the lick not waiting for it. He must be a statistics hog, rather than trying to fight for his team.

[ShotgunDawg]

I swear to God yall watch different games or see what you wanna see. Their was a LB waiting there that turned and walled him off. Walley was open for a split second and he did sit down but this just aint true

I agree with you. I think Will could've gotten him the ball, but there was a guy near

[Lord McBuckethead]

Look, I never thought I would say this, but have we had a successful run of the mill punt this entire 17n season? Shit put Tucker Day back in. 37 yard shank is better than a low line drive that is returnable.

[ShotgunDawg]

He was.waiting for contact instead of initiating it. He is 6?3? 215. He should be delivering the lick not waiting for it. He must be a statistics hog, rather than trying to fight for his team.

As a team, we need to learn to lower our heads & dive forward

[vindastra]

No one is poaching Arnett this year.

[ShotgunDawg]

Good heavens guys

Brule stinks now

[ShotgunDawg]

See Spillar falls forward. Our backs do not

[Lord McBuckethead]

Did a Brule grow a vagin*? Where the heck is he?

[ShotgunDawg]

How is he that wide open & where is our pass rush?

Damn

[preachermatt83]

We send pressure at all the wrong times and don’t send it at all the wrong times

[ShotgunDawg]

One day a fumble will fall to us

[BayouDawg]

Our tackling is atrocious

[ShotgunDawg]

Calzada left about 10 yards on the field there

[Lord McBuckethead]

Okay, do we not play defense anymore.

[Activated Alpha]

Defense is just terrible this half

[ShotgunDawg]

Yet again, they fall forward & we don't

[Lord McBuckethead]

Calzada left about 10 yards on the field there
Don?t worry, we give them as many wide open running catches that they need.

[magrooder]

I don't understand why our offense and defense can't play well in a game at the same time.

[BayouDawg]

This is one of the most inept offenses in the conference and they are going through us like shit through a tin horn.

[Saltydog]

We?re making Calzada look good??.

[BuckyIsAB****]

Arnett is too cute with the LBs and safeties. Line up and play. No wonder we cant fit anything bc they are never in the same place enough to read their keys

[Lord McBuckethead]

If we get this stop and force them to take 3. We will go down the field and score and then come out with the ball at half.

[Dawgology]

Our defense looks terrible. Are we just prepping for Vandy during practice? Haha

[schddog72]

This is one of the most inept offenses in the conference and they are going through us like shit through a tin horn.

And this was not predictable? Surprising who?

[ShotgunDawg]

It would be nice if our defense could score this season

[memsu06]

UK leads FL by 3 right now.

[BuckyIsAB****]

They will go with the tight set or 2 back and run bootleg or they will go trips and isolate our safeties

[preachermatt83]

I swear to God yall watch different games or see what you wanna see. Their was a LB waiting there that turned and walled him off. Walley was open for a split second and he did sit down but this just aint true

Think we are talking about two different plays. The play I’m referring too Walley didn’t sit down. He was running a deep post

[Lord McBuckethead]

Arnett is too cute with the LBs and safeties. Line up and play. No wonder we cant fit anything bc they are never in the same place enough to read their keys

No idea what we are doing, but it isn?t working. We need to show this kid something new, and make tackles.

[State82]

No one is poaching Arnett this year.
Yeah, I have no idea where that thought originated from. This is some bullshit.

[ShotgunDawg]

They will go with the tight set or 2 back and run bootleg or they will go trips and isolate our safeties

Yup. Should be wide open

[Lord McBuckethead]

They will go with the tight set or 2 back and run bootleg or they will go trips and isolate our safeties

Absolutely.

[BayouDawg]

And this was not predictable? Surprising who?

To be fair the defense has generally been good at not allowing long sustained drives. They just usually give up too many big plays. But now they are making up for it by allowing long drives as well.
