Gregorak's coaching cost Griz the win versus Poly

[ilovethecats]

you don't like the Griz then go be a cat fan

:bad:

I can't believe the pass to Ellis in the 4th wasn't reviewed. That's an easy call. Catches it, tucks it, and takes a few steps upfield. Would've been first and goal.

Agreed! I think I heard one of the commentators, maybe Mick, say the coach has one challenge - no better time than right then the final drive of the game to make a challenge and if successful, game is over. Head scratcher.

Don't you lose a timeout if the call isn't overturned? That might be why Stitt chose not to challenge; it would risk loss of a timeout...

Atlanta Griz1
You are a puke, you are one of those people that are always looking for someone to blame. No matter what happens in your life you will look for someone to blame. For your pathetic life. Grow up take some responsibility. Show some support and quit tearing down the team you don't like the Griz then go be a cat fan and see how much better it is. As coach HUD would say GFYS

Growler has a point on this one. Tackle him once in bounds and its nearly game over. To argue otherwise doesn't make any sense. However, saying and doing are two different things.

Yea, and if the offense could pick up a very short yardage firstdown this conversation doesn't exist. The defense had a goal line stop and a safety. What did the offense do for the cause?

That's a different argument though. Don't get me wrong, this loss hangs squarely on the O's shoulders, however, the defense did have a chance to win it as well at the end and did not.

Right on. Of course there were many "what ifs" during the game which could have changed the outcome. But I am focusing on the fact that we had the game WON with less than a minute to go, if only we could tackle Cal Poly on ONE PLAY among the three they ran to get the FG team on the field. Tackle them in-bounds ONE TIME and they can not even attempt the FG. Why can't fans understand that Ty got out-coached during the critical last minute of the game. Anybody who knows jack-sh*t about the game of football could see that. I had breakfast this morning with five Griz fans, who were all at the game, and every one agreed that Ty blew it at the end.

Would'a, could'a, should'a...wasn't this game - like all of them - 60 minutes long with lots of opportunities to either succeed or fail? Blaming the Griz's loss on the last 10 is an exercise in futility. Get over it...

As with most last second losses the words to remember are... "It never should have come down to that."

 

[horribilisfan8184]

Got to go with Atl on this one. D makes the stop that last drive and time runs out everyone would be saying the D saved the game. In NDSU game, O had last chance to win it and did. D had same chance this game and didn't. Stitt took chances and won, Ty played it safe and lost. Really that simple.

Couldn't agree more.

What odds would I have had to give you at the 0.37 second mark in the game, Poly on their own 48 yard line, and no time-outs, to make a bet with me that Cal Poly would win the football game? Just sayin'. Think about it!

Good point.

It could be said that Stitt took chances and lost as well. He may want to rethink this bravado of going for it on 4th down when it is a critical time in the game.

 

[cclarkblues]

The defense handed the offense a lead with about 3 1/2 minutes left in the game. All they had to do was hold onto the ball. They were unable to do that.

 

[mcg]

Seems to me the offense bears some responsibility for failing to convert 4th down. And special teams for missed FG. It's a team sport and pointing the finger at any one unit is pointless.

Good God, people. Haven't you ever heard of spiking the ball to stop the clock? Just because we bout have tackled the player in bounds doesn't mean we'd have won the game because they "couldn't stop the clock".

 

[horribilisfan8184]

Think you are missing the point to be gleaned here. This isn't about blame, it's about wining at the end of a game regardless of what happened before in the game. Brady and Elway are great because they were able to win games on the last drive many times a season. Did Ty deliver when he had a chance at the end of this game? Play prevent or pressure? Prevent loses again.

Ty had a good game plan against Cal-Poly. Otherwise, they may have scored 30 more points.

I think some on here are forgetting Cal Poly practices their 2 minute drill as well. They didn't run to the edge every time on that drive. Cal Poly did what they needed to.

[griznation23]

the last play, not punting was what lost the game for us... :roll:

Agreed, until the last drive. Not one dive or QB keep. Passes and runs were all to sideline, as one would expect. From the NEZ it looked like the dive wasnt even considered by Brown. One team's coach knew the O had to stop the clock every play, and his team executed that quite well.

Atlanta is full of growler beans! All imature pod casters like Atlanta bite on silly items after a game and make far out claims that don't amount to 25 cents worth of dog poo! What Atlanta whould have mentioned is the fact that a frosh kicker made a very long unlikely field goal with 4 seconds left.... otherwise we win the damn game.
With a Griz win in that game Atlanta would be justified in stating we should not have won or we were very lucky to win because WE GOT OUT PLAYED! That would make more sense. But Atlanta needs to take a deep breath and quit making such silly claims. Oh, I still like the old geezer and I can't believe he's made it this far into the season without moving to Ban.
