Bye-Bye Bama??
God, no.

I thought that kick was going left.

Wow.  That kick was a total shank but then sliced back right?   I thought it was 10 yards dead left before it curved.

I don’t have any grievance against Bama. However it was nice to see A and M get the upset.

Crazy. Glad the kid made it. You could tell he was nervous.

The kick wasn’t a “total shank,” Muggs. Go golfing with me sometime and I’ll show you some shanks!

A lot of kickers have natural fade or draw on their kicks. I don’t know anything about this TAMU kicker, but isn’t it possible that he started it left on purpose because he knows his kicks tend to fade?

I admit that at first I thought he missed it, but it ended up comfortably inside the left upright.

A "natural fade"?  I'm gonna go with a no on that one.  That thing had no chance if it was beyond 40 yrds.  More like a natural pull/slice/shank.  This kid was clearly Shpilkiss??

You've watched football for a long time, Muggs. You really haven't noticed that many kickers have natural fades and draws?

I am NOT saying that was the case with this one, as that's the first kick I've ever noticed this guy take. I simply don't know.

And go back and watch that kick again. Given the direction it was traveling at the end, it would have been good from 50+.

Between Arkansas / Ole Miss, Texas / Oklahoma, Penn State / Iowa, Nebraska / Michigan and Alabama / TAMU, yesterday was such a great day for college football.

I wish the NFL would allow networks to places multiple games in the three Sunday windows.

BTW MU82, I think LSU might be coming for the Panthers' OC at the end of the year.  No way does Orgeron survive unless they turn their season around in a massive way.

I accidenly looked at the Graham Mertz' merch website by opening my email from a buddy trying to mess with me.  30 bucks for a "GM" T-shirt?  Did the price go up after that huge win over Illinois?

Price goes up with every interception.  Should be a $70 shirt by the end of the season.

He’ll get an NFL job first

More on this ...

At least two Eagles defenders talked about knowing what was coming from the Panthers on a couple of key plays. And afterward, Rhule also said the offense had gotten too predictable, especially in big situations.

In general, my thought on Brady after watching every Panthers play since he's been here is that he's been fine. The idea that he was ready for a head-coaching job after last season, when he had a couple of interviews, was laughable. Now, the Panthers have some pretty big injuries -- were without their best offensive player and two starting linemen these last 2 losses, and that limits what an offense can do. But that's when a great offensive coordinator should be worth his weight in gold, no?

Anybody who watches the Panthers and says, "Wow, Joe Brady is an offensive genius!" must be watching different games than I am. He's not awful. I don't want to fire him. I just don't see the "special." Not yet in the NFL, anyway. What he did with Burrow at LSU, that certainly qualifies as "special," so I could see the allure for LSU.

Don’t get caught up in where the current team ranks.  Matt LaFleur was the OC for the Rams in 2017 but that was McVay’s offense.  LaFleur’s stint in 2018 in Tennessee was, “eh”.

Not sure what you're saying, Unk. The Panthers' offense is 100% Brady's. He designed it, he calls all the plays. He deserves lots of credit when things go well, and plenty of blame when it doesn't.

I’m saying the results right now when discussing his future don’t mean much.  He’s still a hot commodity because he looks a lot like LaFleur, Staley and McVay and is young

Ah ... understood. Thanks.

I hope he does better the rest of the season and truly earns a head-coaching job.

And if he doesn't do better the rest of the season, I hope he gets a head-coaching job and my Panthers can get an OC just as talented.

It’s easy to justify hiring him, he had Teddy Bridgewater and Sam Darnold as QBs.  He did all he could!

I have no idea if he’ll be any good as a head coach but it’s a copycat league as we know

Who has the bigger discounts? Mertz or Spencer Rattler?

I'm not the biggest Rattler fan, but assuming Williams keeps the job, he'll transfer and have a bunch of B12/SEC/Pac12 interest.  He was first team All-Big12 last year and while he wasn't good on Saturday, he'd been pretty good so far this year, he was excellent against KSU the week before.

If Mertz gets benched and transfers, after already losing the job to Jack Coan, who stinks, he probably ends up at Kansas or an AAC school at best.
