First goal at the one and we get nothing. It’s tough being a fan but I will go on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone that has played defense knows in that situation once you have committed and the offensive player lowers his head it’s too late. Should be a no call. The person doing the tackling is the person doing the targeting. Common Sense 101. And no, it’s not written to go both ways. It clearly defines who are defenseless players. Those are people with the ball. Edited September 7, 2019 by slick1ru2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will. They took away the go-ahead TD and GT did next-to-nothing on offense after that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re supposed to have your head up when you do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not happy about loss but we saw capitulation today. We should see steady improvement throughout the rest of season.
