Did Zach Martin **** up his protection on the backside? Doesn't matter. Let's blame Tommy for everything. That's much easier.

Zach Martin did not block that guy because he was in the wrong protection. I believe Tommy's strong suit is getting us in the right protection

You're right. The 2nd INT didn't bounce off TJ's hands at all...

To be fair, that was a fairly inaccurate pass- a bit of a theme for Tommy over the past couple of weeks. I would definitely put that pick on Tommy considering is SHOULD have been a completed pass for a first down.

For 1 what about the other 2. oh yea they were all tommy's fault. watch the game.

First one is 0% Tommy's fault. Second one, meh. Certainly a bad throw, not a bad decision.

Third one is "classic" Tommy and just dreadful. Bad throw, bad decision. I didn't get my panties in a bunch for the first two, the third was a real head-shaker.

Well you can't make that throw when TJ has two defenders right there.

I'm not giving Tommy a break because right before he threw his 3rd interception, he should have thrown another but the OK defender dropped the ball.

He's off today.

You can't make a throw that bounces off the receiver's hands? The 3rd INT is on Tommy, and you're right the throw before the 3rd INT also should have been intercepted, but I can't stand the "Tommy's Turnovers" bullsh!t. First one is on Martin. Second one is on TJ. They are team turnovers.

Really? Accuracy aside, since when is a QB supposed to force a pass into the middle with 2 defenders draping over the receiver?

I don't blame Tommy for 1st interception, but 2nd and 3rd for sure.

I'd have to re-watch it to be sure, but my initial reaction before it was intercepted was 'what the hell are you doing'.

You need to rewatch that second INT. It was a good decision, inaccurate throw.

It was a bad throw that TJ tried to reach out for and just barley touched the ball. Some of you people need to quit being so unrealistic.

The ball hit his hands. Great throw? No. Should have been caught? Absolutely.

And, again, you're right...totally unrealistic to expect your WR to catch a ball that hits his ****ing hands!

Pretty much this. The first two just seemed like bad luck but that third one was just horrid.

For all of the people calling for Hendrix...if he's so much better than Rees and Rees is just the worst QB to ever play the game how come Hendrix can't get unseat him as staring QB? Is it because BK has some devious conspiracy to lose games this year?

Before you say it...I'm far from a Tommy Rees "fanboy" (god I hate that word) but let's be serious...he's our best option this year. Is it a good option? No, our two good options aren't here, one cheated on a test and the other transferred.

Corey Robinson MIGHT have had a chance to catch that ball, but not TJ. Sorry, that is on Tommy for the high and wide throw.

It was a slant, no? Normally a very safe route. I'm not saying it was a genius decision, but if it's eighteen inches lower it's a catch.

Same story since 2010. Tommy protects the ball and we win. He doesn't and we lose. Michigan game he had turnovers directly cost us 14 points. This game he had them directly cost us at least 17. Just so incredibly disappointing when watching the running game show up this week.

We can win but we need to be +1 in the TO ration in the 2nd half. It will give us momentum if nothing else.

Tommy is a top 25 QB.....
No one f**king said that in this thread guy. Why don't you contribute something meaningful or go cheer for a team that doesn't ruin your day. Alabama still has room on the bandwagon. I really hope we win this if only to stop the annoying trolling and meltdown that will ensue.

The ball hit his FINGERTIPS OF HIS LEFT HAND. Great throw? No. Should have been caught? It would have been on SportsCenter Top 10 if it was.

And, again, you're right...totally unrealistic to expect your WR to catch a ball that hits his ****ing hands!

You need to watch that play again.

How many receivers TJ's size make that catch? Pro or college.

It was an impossible catch to make.

Yup. All we had to do was protect the ball in the 1st half and we would likely be going into the half with a two-possession lead. Sad
