Dawgs v Howgs game thread

[Activated Alpha]

I knew for a matter of fact after we came out ranked we would lose this game. State being ranked in football is the ultimate kiss of death.

[Dak Holliday]

That was an absolutely awful call.

Did exactly what referees are told not to do, impact the outcome of the game. For one it was not holding, it also was not thrown until the pass was incomplete which lets you know he would not have thrown it if it was complete

If you think for a moment that all eyes weren?t on Burke and that tying up with the DB and ending up on the ground wasn?t going to elicit a call, you are insane or foolish. As much as I hate it, our CB needs to understand that.

Uncatchable doesn't matter on a holding call. Emerson has got to get his hands off him when the ball is thrown. The receiver fooled the Ref no doubt, but misplay by Emerson. Just like the Memphis game.

There is nothing wrong with having your hands on a receiver, it happens on every play. He was not holding or impeding the asshole in any way, but the asshole fell down so the ref throws a flag that should not have been thrown, thus causing us to stay on the field. By the way the asshole receiver should have not been in the game anyway.

Lost a lot of enjoyment of watching SEC football because any close game is determined by inept SEC refs. And if we are involved the call always goes against us.

Ok go coach them how to play it better then bc you cant do it much better than he did it without just turning him loose. Its a shit call and it was not thrown till the ball was already on the ground. That right there shows you that the ref had to think about it, they are told if you have doubt dont call it

[Percho]

I think we are the better team. I think we played pretty good ball on offense and defense. We were terrible in the kicking game. Field goals and punting.

BTW Ark got the better calls. All day.

[DLGDawg]

we need an "ED Therapy" site...

Man...you are so right!!!! There's some absolute silliness in this thread.

The refs blew the most important call of the game on the play before they scored. And right in front of the ref too.
You get that call and the odds of them scoring go waayyy down.

[MBDawg601]

Long time lurker on this forum. This game made me register.

The game threads are comical. Most of you flip flop emotions every other play. This team fought until the end. They could have easily given up and laid down countless times during the game.. but they kept scrapping.. Unfortunately we left it in the hands of the refs. The SEC officiating has been atrocious this year across the board.

Proud of how far we have come this year. We are a competitive team and improve every week. Just have to fine tune some aspects of the game.

If you cannot see that the program is headed in the right direction, you need to think back to the last year Jo MO was here. Leach has us MILES ahead. Will Rogers is the best passing QB we have ever had and we have a group of receivers that are learning how to settle in zones and get open.

Just wanted to give my thoughts after pacing around outside in my boxers after that Heartbreakers. Sucks, but we are still improving and that makes it a little easier to swallow.

[Dak Holliday]

When will we just get past the victim snake bit bs? He shouldn?t have been playing, he was an asshole for getting a call, the refs, the refs, the refs.
We played well enough to win. We just didn?t do it. That?s on us.
Every OC will tell you that their scheme is unstoppable if executed to perfection. I don?t feel this one is high scoring enough in the modern game. That being said, we should have won today.

[memsu06]

I knew when we left more than 2 minutes left we gave them a chance to drive the field.

Kudos to our offense though to put us in position to tie the game and go into overtime.

Defense did what they needed to except for the all out blitz on a 3rd and 8 where Ark scored a TD. We always get burned doing that.

Special teams sucked it up.

[Matt3467]

Some of the posters on here are habitual complainers. You've got a complaint for every situation. If McCord makes it then good thing Leach took Ruiz out. If Ruiz misses then why did Leach put him back out there? How about the bobbled snap? How about the bad penalty called on Emerson that should've ended the game? The Leach hate on this board is as toxic as political threads.

[HoopsDawg]

There was not enough contact for that call. WR fell down. Emerson is playing like a physical CB does. That is what Bama does every single play and don't get called for it, even worse.

That was a homer call on home field against their star player with game on line call is what that was.

It was a smart play by the receiver. He knew he was covered. He drew the flag. Emerson has got to get his hands off of him as soon as the ball is thrown. He kept his hands on him 2 seconds too long.

A really good receiver is dang near impossible to cover with today?s rules. It just speaks to the fact that you don?t understand that and feel that it?s excusable when the game is on the line. If a DB ties up with a WR and the WR goes down, they?re probably getting the call. That?s just the way it is. Why do you think people throw on do or die plays more than run? Because if you don?t make the play, you?ve got a great shot at getting a call. 🤷🏼

This is correct. He's getting that call 99% of the time. There were a lot of plays that could have been made that game. Blaming the refs is soft.

Leach could never lose a game without the refs stealing it from us

Yes, I think so too. But it wasn't really holding. If anything, the receiver slipped.

[HoopsDawg]

I agree. The receiver slipped. And Emerson downed the punt vs Memphis. But you have to control what you can. Toss the ball to ref. And get your hands off the receiver. Emerson was called for holding earlier in the game as well.

Our fans know no other way.

As far as folks on here act, we?d have 18 NCs if it weren?t for the refs.😂
