Week 14 --- Other Games Open Thread

Are they double covering Cooper?
 
I know they didn't on the previous TD but I didn't see the coverage on that one.

 
The way that Safety was hauling arse when the ball was in the air, it looked like he was supposed to be helping over the top (shout out to Stallone) but blew his assignment.

"He didn't make a pretty tough catch, falling away."
 
I doubt he had time to factor in all of the game-factors that I'd want to include on a "choke"

 
He just made a much harder catch with only a 1st down on the line.
 
My point is given the down, give then environment, given the ball going directly into his hands, it's something.
 
Not a choke fine. Didn't make a tough catch doesn't cut it.

 

[Planks]

Well that should be game

 

[Moose Stuff]

Bama about to take control of this one

 

[Frogs01]

'Bama takes the lead in 3, 2, 1...

 

[Frogs01]

Auburn looks lost now.

 

[cdsfrog]

I agree with this

 
That's a second. I'd say that's a first but you agreed with something I said once earlier this year ....I think

 

[TK2000]

So does Bama score or get first downs without Cooper? No. Do you think we could scheme to slow him down?

 

[ATC Frog]

Auburn forgot the Cooper plays for bama

 

[Prince of Purpoole]

Such a poor decision by the Auburn QB. If the Tigers hold Bama to 3 here it will be a gift.

 

[cdsfrog]

SEC defense is elite

 

[StinnettFrog]

Come on auburn make a stop.

My argument: Catching a football thrown at a high rate of speed, as you're falling backwards and trying to position your feet/body, definitely isn't simple. Therefore, I don't think it's a "choke" when someone doesn't make a catch like that. I think it wasn't clutch, but it's not an extremely high percentage catch, which is where I would throw out the "choke" tag. That's just me though, and I just seem to be more of an optimist/glass half full-guy than yourself... difference of opinions

 

[berryfrog95]

Hold them to a FG!

 

[ATC Frog]

Dammit

 

[ATC Frog]

And bama gets the 2 pt conversion.

 

[Frogs01]

That's game. Auburn shell shocked.

Agree " Cooper is not human" when it was Auburn's bad defense and missed assignments strongly contributed to both TDs. You tend to exaggerate in the positive only.
 
I don't see that as an exaggeration. He had made a ton of much harder catches when little was a stake. That was my point. Either way, take the word CHOKE out, the 4 points were huge. 
 
Since that play Auburn is in freefall and they really needed those points among the other 8-12 they left on the table i believe.

 

[TCUFrogs]

Shoot

 

[cdsfrog]

Where did the good Auburn team playing for last 40 minutes go?
