It was almost as bad as the decision not to call timeout with 7 seconds left

speaking of 7 seconds, how the hell did the pass attempt to reagor take 7 seconds
Now understand my wife knows nothing and she says, "why that" with 26 seconds left when you need to throw 3 quick verticals and then try a field goal. I mean really, $800K a yr., damn.

Weird thing but did anyone else notice that if Moehrig just cuts to sideline on the return rather then towards the middle of the field he houses that pick for a TD..
I think Duggan started improvising a little and took too long. Luckily it was a penalty that gave them an untimed down.
I think at that point he was out of gas.
That's why he is not playing RB, no vision - the right side had a wall of blockers with a clear lane to the endzone - he obviously didn't see it.

Clearly it was an area that Cumbie felt needed more reps, because you know, we rarely ever attempt screen passes.

Incorrect...once refs let them snap, it takes several seconds to snap the ball. Zero reason not to call a TO as you knew an incomplete pass would be a FG anyway, you can't let time roll off before you snap the ball.
This is on Gary as he calls timeouts...but shouldn't. Our coaches are just flat bad at simple math...and need to hire someone to only be responsible for TO's and when to go for two.

It didn't. 2 seconds ran off the clock before the ball got snapped. Then Duggan didn't throw the ball right away.
I think we could've had a scenario where 1 second was put back on the clock if not for the PI, but when the official announced that the clock would start on his signal then we should've burned the timeout immediately so that we actually would've had the full 7 seconds to throw the ball to the end zone.

Yes. You're taught as a defender after an interception to get to the sideline and stay to the sideline and that is how everyone else will block for you. Obviously every situation is different so that isn't ALWAYS the best thing to do but it certainly looked like he should've stayed on the sideline right there.

For arguments sake that one season was several seasons ago, and the record on his performance has been up and down since.
Still think we are going to be fine. Wins will happen. Losses will happen. Beers will be consumed. And people will [ hundin] to their internet friends. Such is life ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
At this point I fully expect us to struggle all year offensively. There will be some big plays sprinkled in here and there but I think game to game it's always going to be kind of a sloppy, disjointed mess and that GP's game and program management is always going to work around his lack of confidence in the offense. Probably overreacting to one game but it's really not one game, it's been more than 3 seasons since I thought we were really any good offensively and Saturday night it didn't look like there was any change whatsoever in what we were trying to do. I'm not sure this offense we're trying to run even has much of a chance of being successful, that might be the most discouraging thing.

Have you thought about how having two completely different qbs playing could create a offensive identity crisis?
IMO we've had an offensive identity crisis since the first game of the 2016 season, no matter who has been playing QB.
