A&M QB Kellen Mond is physically gifted but couldn't spot his secondary receivers. He's okay when he can 1-2-3 throw, otherwise he just tucks and runs. His day was full of throwaways, passes off target, an intentional grounding not called, false starts, and repeated delay of game penalties. These things are not the hallmark of a top tier QB, much less any division one QB. UGA stuffed the run game completely. Why Mond had to throw 42 times.
In the rain and muck Fromm missed on at least two TD passes. Wasn't his day, yet still UGA won. Unlike Mond, Jake stayed in the pocket, avoiding pressure, going through his progressions looking at three or four receivers. "Fromm has regressed" the idiots say. I've said it before: what has changed? He's lost five receivers to the pros. Also Chubb and Michel. He has a new offensive coordinator. Perhaps it ain't Fromm.
Hot Rod was true on all four field goal atempts, equaling his career high. He almost executed an onside kick. Before the game Rodrigo asked Herrien if Blankenship could be the first to break the banner. After the game Rod told the story. Hot Rod even answered a postgame question with his helmet off.
UGA did benefit from 3-4 no calls on defense but was flagged at least twice for pass interference. As we've known all year, UGA will have to beat LSU to make playoffs regardless of rank.
Big Ten announcers kept calling out all the mistakes Justin Fields was making: passes of the mark, several fumbles, bad reads. The Buckeye RB and defense were what won the game. Fields might've hurt his left thumb but was carrying ball in right hand when he fumbled. Like Mond, if his primary receiver is covered he takes off and runs.
Missouri and QB Kelly Bryant couldn't beat mighty Tennessee at home.
Falcons lost to the lowly Bucs. Atlanta defense made Jamies "20 interceptions" Winston look like Johnny Unitas.
Experts on Twitter are saying Tom Brady isn't what he used to be. Yesterday he had the third lowest completion percentage of his career. Guys, he played in a monsoon. Dude is 42 years old. At worst he's still in the top half of all NFL QB's. 15 TD's vs. 5 interceptions. His QB rating of 55.6 ranks 15 out of 31, ahead of Aaron Rodgers, Baker Mayfield, and Philip Rivers. Pats are 10-1. His receivers have been cobbled together off the waiver wire. Not sure what people want from the guy.
Still it would behoove Brady to re-sign with New England. Not sure where else he would want to land.
Gronk was funny sitting in with the Fox NFL guys yesterday. They made fun of his turtleneck, likening him to Dobie Gillis.
Nick Foles, the new QB for the always downtrodden Jags: some are growing weary of his patient "this is a process, football isn't the most important thing" answers. Some want to see and hear more urgency. Thing is, when you press you don't play as well. Can't score a 99 yard TD on every play.
