So a miss FG is 2 points for the D. Interesting

Missed FG. Pull the scholly. (joking)

 

[4Q Basket Case]

ESPN giving Milroe a lot of camera time on the sideline. Milroe’s body language is bad, and he’s not talking to anyone. Not coaches, not players, not anybody.

Just repeatedly putting his helmet on top of his head and re-seating it as normal.

Looks like he knows he’s having a tough day.

Comparing Milroe to Lamar Jackson?

It really is a ridiculous comp

 

[colbysullivan]

Lamar Jackson......Jalen Milroe......here goes McElroy.

People who compare Milroe to Jackson have never actually watched them play. Totally different skillsets.

From an article......"DeBoer is choosing a different method, focusing solely on offense vs. defense with a unique scoring system in which the offense scores touchdowns and field goals, while the defense can score points with big plays like sacks, tackles for loss and interceptions."

haven't seen any points awarded for sacks or TFLs...

Simpson just doesn’t get the “wow factor” from the media/announcers like Milroe does. Is anyone who is watching this game going to argue he hasn’t outplayed Milroe today?

They seem about equal to me.

That’s what I was saying earlier. Simpson is the best QB on the field today, and Greg is out here talking about Milroe being Lamar Jackson…

Was thinking the same thing. His body language looks awful. All they're talking about is Milroe this and Milroe that....lot of pressure on the kid.

Not gonna dog on Milroe because 2 of his last 4 passes were dropped. I still want to see him make short throws.

 

[some_al_fan]

He would have been what like 16 years old maybe?

15

The elder Kirkpatrick had his son at 15 years old and has watched his journey from times from a far as the younger Kirkpatrick stayed in the Gadsden area growing up. Coach Smith credits the support group, starting with the grandparents and his mother, for molding the two Kirkpatrick's into the people they are today.

Pulling for the Crimson comeback. Go defense.

Austin Mack, have you played football before?

2nd string Oline and WRs are not good. 3rd string is even worse. Last week Simpson looked like crap when he was with the 2’s. Point is I would not take anything as evidence of a good or bad quarterback if it is happening with the #2 offense they just do not have time.

Another dropped Milroe pass

 

[kenbama]

I am so disappointed in the announcers (Greg Mc) mostly talking about Deboer and Saban so much along with Milroe. Just say wo is in the game sometimes.

 

[AlexanderFan]

Henderson drops the one good middle Milroe pass, and the line held up as well.

 

[CrimsonJazz]

A lot of Jalen’s throws are getting dropped. That’s gotta be frustrating for him.

This is the type of game where you work on those throws, but he continues to go deep. Thats my biggest problem with him, he appears to not even care about improving his shortcomings. Remember he told Nessler and Danielson, “I’m not a running QB”.

Another dropped Milroe pass

They have certainly not helped him today.
