The Good- the defense played well. Mr Anderson got his first pick6. Special Teams was amazing in all phases. Jamyr Gibbs is amazing (our best pass catcher). Latu looks good

The Bad- our wide receivers are slow but did a little better catching. Bryce struggles connecting with this group. The deep ball is disturbing in it lacking of completions. WRs inability to get separation will spell trouble against better teams.

The Ugly- BOBs play calling is attrocious In its lack of imagination. The wr route tree sometimes causes sacks. 3 throws and a punt reminds Me of the mike Dubose era.

The Good -- a resounding win with no major injuries.
The Bad -- WR's inability to get open...BY had time but couldn't find anyone.
The Ugly -- not sure anything stood out. I don't understand our play calling, but I'm not an OC.

Good - no injuries. Athletes (returners, tailbacks, etc) being athletes. Defense was lock down all day and I hold the one score against the offense. Kicking game is a damn strength and I'm here for it.

Bad - Offensive line needs to toughen up. Is it coaching or talent? Something is missing and they play soft. It may be, more than anything else - including BoB, what's holding this team back. WRs. Something is going on with this group too. Lack of speed?

Ugly. I'm not going to say BoB. I'm going to leave him alone for one week. The ugly resides in southeast Georgia this weekend.

Good - we have capable punt returners, Oatis is flashing a lot. He might deserve more snaps and i think by the end of the year he'll be a major contributor.

Bad - passing game is out of whack. Bryce is off. WRs look like JAGs. Gotta hope the young guys are special and start earning more time. Or that Earle and/or Harrell are. And that Bryce shakes it off a little.

I don't think it's the WRs. They're talented and among the best in the country. Jo Jo and Harrell are not the answer. Maybe Harrell for long downfield passes. But there's something else going on keeping them from getting separation. Schemes and routes issues or something.

This is more of what I saw at the game. I think the talent is there the scheme just isn’t taking advantage of their strength. Also, Bryce was just a little off yesterday. The one interception was thrown behind the receiver. There were at least 2 other times I saw receivers running with no one covering but they weren’t seen. These are things that can be fixed. The play calling just seems choppy with no rhythm.

Good- nice win and many players got game reps.

Bad- inconsistency when we jumped out to a 28-0 lead.

Ugly- offensive cooridnator play calling. WR would be open if we didn't try to run so many deep routes. Ever heard of a slant? One series we used our TE on 4 pass plays, they need to be utilized more in the passing game.

That throw was not great but it wasn't bad either and not that far behind him. The WR had both hands on the ball. You've got to make that catch. These WR need to work on catching, too many passes hit them in the hands and they still miss.

It was there, but was a bullet throw and difficult to secure at the angle the receiver had. I recall last year a few WRs having trouble with some of Bryce's hard throws. They're difficult to catch.
