Worst mistake in Dan's career

[saltslugs]

For.all the great he does, that is just horrendous and truly inexcusable. Hire a ******* grad student to.watch the clock.

That's on your QB bud. Calling TO not an option.

Dubmass.

Really? We are taking that time out home with us.

 

[xxxWalkTheDawg]

why? Dan get a prize for least timeouts taken? It's doing a lot of good going back to the locker room with the team

 

[drt7891]

With the game on the line, are you kidding me? The buck stops with Mullen there.

 

[Bulldogg31]

Play was in with 10-12 seconds on the clock. Get the ball snapped. Your trying to hit a quick 8-yarder then call your TO.

Dak lost track of the play clock.

 

[Shamoan]

im not sure why yall are so upset. negate that delay of game and its still a 47 yard fg that is WAYYY right.

Maybe. But you feel better about trying Graves @ 47 yards out.

 

[Dawg1976]

Good chance Dak would have run for 4-5 and not made the incomplete pass. Then you kick with Graves. But with the penalty, the run was off the table.

For the majority of fans that aren't complete ******* retards this needs no explanation but since you are the rosa parks of the short bus here goes.

With the TO you can run Dak up the middle for 5, throw a quick out, something over the middle, etc and call a TO making it within graves range. How in the **** we don't have "generic short yard play" there is beyond inexcusable.

Does the sideline not stop the clock? Does a first down not stop the clock?

Was Dan too busy trying to decide which kicker to use?

 

[Bulldogg31]

Ok, I'll play.

If Dan calls timeout with 1 second on the play clock, then Dak completes a short pass, we'd be mad Dan called the timeout. I think you've got to trust your 5th-year QB to get it snapped in time.

 

[Shamoan]

still would have missed anything outside of a 40 yard kick. its totally irrelevant.

 

[FlotownDawg]

We weren't even close to snapping the ball when the play clock was at 1. I could see that delay of game coming from a mile away. Call a timeout and send Graves out to kick the 47 yarder.

 

[FlotownDawg]

Except Graves would have been kicking instead of Bell. He hit a 43 yarder earlier with plenty to spare. He has the distance from 47.

 

[Bulldogg31]

Mullen just said in the postgame that the delay of game penalty at the end was on him.

Yall were right, nice work fellas.

You lost me at "run Dak up the middle for 5."

 

[Shamoan]

we didnt have that much time. one short route play was all we had time for. best case scenario, 4,5,6,7 yards and we still miss a long but fringe college-makeable fg.

Dak throws the ball where it is caught going out of bounds or not caught at all. Damn, do you watch football?

Dan just said on the radio that the delay of game was completely his fault.

 

[Bulldogg31]

Go to bed. You're angry and you're tired and we'll talk about this in the morning.

Don't forget to brush your teeth.

 

[Dawg1976]

One of the announcers suggested that. Whether Mullen would have tried it is another story.

It worked for us all night, why not try it?**

 

[Maroonthirteen]

Yeah I kerel seeing we should have run. There was 8 seconds. Time would have expired.

The discussion is over. But go play NCAA Football 2004, sleep on it, and see if you can come up with any play any stupider. I bet you can.

 

[Bulldogg31]

You win. You're the smartest.

Your positive mental attitude is contagious. I am sure you have many friends.

 

[121Josey]

You lost me at "run Dak up the middle for 5."

Dak would have put on his Dakman cape. His long rush of the night was 3 yards, but he could have gotten those crucial extra 2 yards.

 

[FlotownDawg]

I think Dak could've gotten 5 there. LSU's defense was expecting pass and a power run might surprise them. Plus even if he only gets 2, a 45 yard FG is a hell of a lot easier to make than a 52 yarder. Plus Graves would've been kicking it instead of Bell.

2 yards or 5 yards isn't the point. Graves kicks from 0 yards+

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

Should have run Dak to the left and at least center the ball up. Had we gotten 5 yards there too it would have been Graves with a 46 yarder straight on.
