All that “fine tuning” last week against Samford sure paid off! Even so, I am surprised at how they are playing so much better than we are on both sides of the ball. At least the kicking game is working for us. And kick offs are the disasters they have been over the last 2 years.

BC leading 21-0 in the third after the Techies were so abuzz following blowout wins over a truly pathetic Notre Dame (0-3) and mighty Samford (might give Brookwood a good game).

With the exception of the mythical interference call that set-up GT’s TD it appears that Tech is playing the same ol’ version of uninspired football when they meet with a little adversity. BC is implementing the game plan, that will be Tech’s demise, to perfection. Put the game on Taylor “For Heisman” Bennett and see what he can do…NOTHING. Funny how Choice has come up with a sudden hamstring injury when things aren’t going so easy for him. Proves my first point. Who knows, still time left in 4th qtr. but team looks uninspired and the Tech fans are a non factor. Nice throw it up and see what happens by TFHB!!! Three BC starters out on D and still spankin that Tech booty! Hey Matt Winklejohn…BC ain’t your Techies ND or (Fred)Samford. Please stick with the writing and leave the predictions to Vegas. BTW Techies there’s a new power in the ACC and it resides in Durham,NC Go Dukies!!!

OK, did I call it our did I call it. Ryan made GT’s cornerbacks look silly…BC’s run defense shuts down choice and both lines manhandle GT on both sides of the ball…I said 20-10 BC and I will certainly take 24-10.

Absolutely horrible…. Tech was totally out-coached the entire game. Being shut out till the 4th quarter was inexcusable…. The offensive line was horrid, totally uninspired. Once the running game was cut out, we were done. Are only chance to beat Ryan was to keep him off the field. There’s a reason he threw for over 400 yards and only 1 touchdown. He knew all he had to do was drop 3/5 steps back and work his was down the field. You’d think Tenuta would’ve predicted that. But ultimately, when you get it handed to you like that, with so many penalties, the blame goes to the coaches, particularly the head coach. I’ve always hated Chan and tonight was like exhibit #348 why I’m sustained in that belief. He is incapable of inspiring or motivating his players, or making the right gameplan or game decision (FG with 9 minutes left, trailing by 2 tds?!?!? Are you kidding me?!?!? IT STILL LEFT IT A TWO POSSESION GAME CHAN!!!!) Tech has above average talent, all they need is the right coach to take them to the next level. Chan is certainly not that coach. He needs to go, NOW!!!!

Give me TB 10 times over the RB ‘panic and fight’ approach. What I saw was trying to force the run to set up the pass vs. make the pass set up the run… . Plus, BC has a smart plan (“hold if you must, but don’t let the QB get sacked …1st and 20 is better than 2nd and 17 from a sack).

But, please understand, I’m not cryin’ foul on the refs….the BC offense outplayed our ‘D’ for most of the game and the offense got stuck in the old ‘force the run’ mode that CG has made famous.

But, good news it that the Clemson tix just got cheaper on stubhub!!

Unfortunately, we will always be a 7 or 8 win team under Gailey. Clemson will beat us using the same game plan as Boston College. We will also lose to Virginia Tech and to a team like Virginia that we should beat. Bond proved that he is not ready to be a division one coach with his trick plays that belong in high school or IAA. Pat Clark needs to be on the bench for the rest of the season. I was in the upper deck and still got closer to the BC receivers than Clark ever did. I guess a bowl game in Orlando is better than nothing though.

well, this one was tough… two things for the real Tech fans to remember 1. this wasnt a divisional loss 2. its only the third game of the season.

now after saying that, after our first two wins, no one said anything about going undefeated or running the ACC, we all knew this was going to be a test. we didnt play well, but we have to learn from these type of games. sometimes failure is the first step to the ultimate success i am not going to bash Gailey, or the team or the fans. we’ve had days like this before. and i’ve seen this team bounce back and i know they will again.. i am still proud of my JACKETS keep your head up my fellow JACKETS we have a long season ahead..

Before the game, I made an easy call. If we don’t hit Ryan, and hit Ryan, and hit him again, he would probably pick our coverage apart. Well, the game speaks for itself.

Dwyer is obviously the best running back we have; he has the ability to break tackles when the line doesn’t block. Taylor wasn’t as good as he needs to be, but we had some dropped passes and too much holding (I guess, those refs looked clueless)

I think Gailey/Bond waited too long to start passing on every down. I think if we had used the pass as a first option in the first half, we might have been able to sustain some drives, but we have been exposed in the secondary. Pat Clark cannot cover the lady crossing the street!!

GT gives up 527 total yards!!!!! Please remind me why Tenuta is soo great. Tenuta’s defense got its butt kicked all over the field tonight. Matt Ryan carved Tech up like a Christmas turkey. As is typical year in and year out, Tenuta builds his reputation off beating inferior talent (Samford, Duke, etc). Oh yeah, how bout Tashard Choice for Heisman. Boy, that lasted all of about 3 games. Being the quitter that he is, he sits out the remainder of the game after faking a hamstring injury. The only thing that I saw Tashard do tonight was run his mouth. He is really adept at that.

Well done, Jackets. Give me some more of this lackluster effort!!!!

I’m not here to rub it in the faces of Tech fans, but I will point out the obvious that plagues Tech in every big game. They got out played, whipped on both sides of the line. Bennet couldnt calm down in the pocket so he kept throwing the ball at peoples feet(there wasnt that much pressure on him). Gailey failed to adjust to the constant 2 deep zone of BC (just throw 5-8 yard passes to gain momentum). And the entire coaching staff, once again, buckled under high profile games (Tenuta, if a QB throws for 400 yards on you, try a different coverage scheme).

Nothing has changed with Tech.

How much longer is Tech going to put up with this?

I guess we won’t hear of that undefeated talk anymore. Welcome back to the reality of GT football. Dominating defense gave up over 500 years to mighty BC. So next time before you start trashing the dawgs for losing to another SEC school be wary of your next game. You may end up with the same result. It’s a long season, see you when it counts.

Ok, I’ll state the obvious. When you are trying to get back into a game you have to pass and pass down field. Gailey and Bond picked the most talented corner BC has to throw at when they did throw. This is ridiculous, Tech coaches seem unable to adjust. Bennett will only be good if they let him get the feel by throwing it down the field. I knew we were in trouble when the sideline reporter stated that Gailey told the team coming out of the half that they had to run the ball even if it meant going to OT. Who the hell wants to go to OT against a pro style QB who is eating up youor secondary. Gailey decided our fate at the half—win or lose we were going to stick with the run NO MATTER WHAT !

I’d rather have Bill Lewis. At least we didn’t get our hopes up and we knew what to expect (i.e., losing). It’s much worse to get your expectations up only to have them dashed. What is this coaching staff doing? BC is up by 21 points before we even score? Do they have a clue on how to construct a game plan or motivate college players? Do they not have a clue when to ADJUST an offensive scheme when it is obviously NOT working? I think the collective IQ on the coaching staff is under 100. Oh, and did I say, I HATE GAILEY!!!!

Well, the better team won, so I can’t whine too much. But what’s with this call: Tech is down 14-0 I believe (maybe 21-0). About 13 minutes left in the 3rd qtr. Tech has the ball 4th and 1 on their own 41 and they punt.

You ALWAYS go for it in that circumstance. Good article on espn website about this last week (teams punting too much). By punting, you might as well throw in the towel. That’s not playing to win—it’s playing to lose.

As someone who was actually at the game I can’t believe anyone is saying the Tech crowd was uninspired. Most of us were yelling our heads off for over 4 hours, which is quite a feat considering that was one of the worse officiated and worse played games I’ve ever had the displeasure of watching. Any time Tech had forward motion, an automatic holding or pass-interference call called us back. I’m not sure of the exact penalty stats, but most of them were against Tech and only a few had any real basis. The ball was also very poorly spotted and only one was that particular mistake actually corrected. Bennett had a subpar game and seemed to think that throwing at the ground in front of our players was a good thing. I still would take Bennett over Stafford any day. Bennett’s at least proven he can play well. Choice was injured. Most players get pulled after an injury, especially if they are considered a star player. Our D was pathetic. Not once was there ever any pressure on the QB. A defense that usually blitzes constantly didn’t get near the QB all night. Absolutely pathetic. If u give em 10 minutes to make the pass, chances are they’ll beat coverage. At least Durant Brooks brought his A game. He was one of the only ones there to win. And Chan has sucked pretty much his entire career. There’s a reason the Cowboys tossed him out and his coaching style is one dimensional and is so predictable even Georgia can figure it out. Absolutely patetic.

OK…BC definitely came to play….I am no tech or dawg fan….but the refereeing in the game was horrible. BC’s first drive had three obvious holding penalties that were not called, tv replays continually showed ref errors/bad calls (only one foot needed for TD in college) and the cream was when the ref called a BC fumble on a kickoff which was reversed on review…the play happened 3 feet in front of the head ref who got it dead wrong….definitely inept refereeing… Not that Tech would have won, but the refs definitely screwed up what could have been a more competitive game and they had more of an impact in deciding the game…their bad calls definitely were in the heads of tech’s players……

Slim, you are close to right. The better COACHED team won. We HAVE the talent. We DO NOT have the coaching to match our talent. Our talent SHOULD have overwhelmed BC.

GAILEY = MEDIOCRITY = DISAPPOINTMENT

It’s been proven year after year after year. This guy is not a winner. He does not coach the talent that he has and we can not survive with a coach like that. We struggle to get talent to compete. We need a coach that will make them perform up to or beyond their potential.

Other than his mediocrity, my biggest problem with TCG is his stubborness in NOT ADJUSTING his game plan when it is clearly NOT WORKING.

I’m a BC fan. Enough w/ the referee talk. It’s really bad to start talking about how the game would’ve been competitive if the calls were different. There were just as many bad calls on BC as GT—it evened out. I think BC could’ve actually scored more than they did. 527 yards is a lot…and holding Choice to 30 is pretty telling. That is winning the line of scrimmage, not waiting for the referees to intervene.

After watching the game, I’m not so sure Tech is more talented than BC (despite what certain AJC columnists and bloggers have said). Either way, I’m ecstatic that there’s no question that BC deserved that win.

Having said that, Coach Jags really proved himself tonight. Great job scheming against the zone blitz. And Ryan did what all BC fans expect him to do—dominate when he has time. I think you saw tonight why BC fans are happy about the new coaching staff and proud to be represented by classy guys like Ryan.

The Truth Hurts,

Congratulations. I think superior coaching negates p*ss poor coaching. Please DO NOT interpret my comments as diminishing BC’s talent OR coaching. On a neutral field, with equal coaching, I’d love to see what happens. Problem is (for Tech) virtually EVERYONE has superior coaching….even enough to overcome what should be a home field advantage. IF we had equal coaching on a neutral field (a hypothetical situation I admit), I think Tech’s talent prevails, but that is hard to prove.

The game was lost in coaching preparation and adjustments on the field during the game like you mentioned. We still had a slight chance late in fourth QTR. and Gailey goes for three points wich seemed to take some of the wind out of the momentum, eventhough that is not a totally bad call. The big picture is Notre Dame and Samford are really bad and rebuilding. That should have been stressed to this team that they are not as good as hyped. The offense seemed to not be in sync or focused. Several balls were catchable yet dropped. Dywer seems to be a spark and needs more playing time. We need a sure handed possession receiver in the wr spot at times. This BC coach surely looked at the films that had torched Tenuta’s defense in the pass including Utah a few years ago. Those torchings are teams that can pass and have experienced excellent QB’s. Unfortunately our own staff seem to have forgotten those games. It’s back to Gailey Ball, 5 to 6 losses possibly this year.

Why is a Bama fan in here? He is dissing Bobby Dodd stadium. I seem to remember a Georgia Tech team that wrecked Bear Bryant’s team IN ATLANTA back in the 60’s. You were ranked #1, were you not?

Also, I hear Mississippi State is handing out free losses this year to teams from Alabama. You sure wanted one last year, obviously.

BC was a good team, and I’ll admit they were better than us tonight. However… as some of the commentators on TV apparently mentioned… some of those calls were bad. i.e. I personally have pictures of where a touchdown pass was “incomplete” according to the ref, and yet you could clearly see where the reciever’s feet had drug across the ground, leaving marks on the field. They missed tons of holding calls, messed up pass complete/incomplete calls, and some of the “pass interference” calls were questionable too, etc. Hope to read a confirmation of how much they messed up at some point in the paper, even though it won’t make up for the loss. Seriously, I admit we didn’t play perfectly, and we might not have won anyways… but the refs really messed up on a bunch of those calls that should have been really straightforward.

Dog fan, atleast the team we lost to was ranked and undefeated you jackass!

Hey, you guys are good at math. If you get one fact right out of two, what percentage is that? And if South Carolina has zero losses, is it in fact undefeated?

sometimes failure is the first step to the ultimate success

And sometimes it’s the first step back to Boise in December.

I was at the game and to the other Tech fans on here lets just ignore the mutt faces from Athens. Yes choice really did hurt but its funny the ref threw a late flag on that play and it ends up being a holding on us? If anything BC should have been called for a late hit on Choice. Then the play where Smith apparently “stepped” out of bounds before running for the first down. I’ve been told the tv commentators said he was clearly 3 yards still in bounds. The fumble that was reversed after we had just scored, the questionable pass interference calls(come on refs let them play). If our DBs just learn to turn around for the ball we might have had atleast 2 interceptions.

Tech better be ready for Clemson… GT looked unmotivated all night. BC dominated both line of scrimages. I hate to say it GT but BC is better. They have beaten Clemson 2x in a row, VT last year, etc. I hate people talking about BC being a inferior ACC team. Matt Ryan is a top 3 quaterback in the country (look at what he has for receivers) Imagine if he was throwing to Calvin Johnson last year. You will never win anything of importance with Chan as your coach

Amazing how we can go from Gailey and Tenuta are great to suddenly “they stink lets get new coaches”. Hey lets give BC some credit they are a better team and it showed. But while we were getting shut by their defense and their offense was passing all over the field we still were in the game in the fourth quarter. No just because BC is a better team does not mean we are a bad team. Lets see what happens next weekend at UVA before we panic. Dawg fans go back to licking your wounds after losing to S. Carolina and Spurrier. You have your own problems to think about cause Stafford is not that great and after losing to USC you could easily have 4-5 more loses in your future.

A very disappointing game. BC won fair and square. They controlled both lines of scrimmage which was surprising to me. No excuses here but the truth is:

1. GT lost this game the day Matt Ryan was born back in ‘86. He’s first team All American. Neither Bennett nor Stafford are.

2. Put Ryan on GT and what’s the score? BC raised holding to an art form but Ryan is so good that he overcame it most times. He will be a fab pro QB. Want to bet on BC’s season next year? Brady Quinn covered-up a multitude of weaknesses for ND last year. Joe Hamilton did the same for us back in the day. GT got its butt whipped by an exceptional player.

3. There are no more Matt Ryans in the ACC. We may see him again but that certainly is no sure thing.

4. Pat Clark is a tough kid who plays hard but he can’t play corner at this level. Just not good enough.

5. Taylor Bennett is OK but no star. What I like about him is that after 3 games we have 0 interceptions, 0 fumbles, maybe 1 sack and very few silly penalties. TB played OK vs. BC but couldn’t win the game. He didn’t lose it either.

6. OK… UGA fans, you can enjoy this week. We’ll have our turn. You’ll probably lose to the Vols who got waxed by the Gators, 59-20. I have two words for Dawgites: Tim Tebow! Have fun!

We were out coached and physically pushed all over the field. Disappointed that I did not see more fight out of the team, or coaching adjustments.

BC is a stout football team and should end up in the top 10 before the year is out. They have a heck of a qb. Taylor will get better. If you are going to blame anyone blame Chan for not getting him more experience last year so he would be better prepared for this year.

Also, could we see a little more passion and fire from our head coach?

By PTC Jacket

September 16, 2007 10:10 AM | Link to this

A few quick observations, and I believe it all comes down to this:

1. Matt Ryan is an NFL-caliber QB, probably the most underrated QB in the country. Hopefully he will now get the credit he deserves.

2. BC was HUMONGOUS. Other than a few times where our guys out-quicked them, they toyed with our D-line and linebackers on the blitzes. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen such a big college team, including their tight ends. There were several occasions where our DBs and LBs went to tackle their tight ends, and our guys got the worst of the collision.

3. BC’s receivers overall were catching just about everything that came their way, even when our DBs were hitting them as soon as the ball got to them. Pat Clark is, to put this kindly, not a great DB. Ryan picked on him over and over again all night. I hope Jahi gets better very soon!

4. This was the worst-called game I have EVER seen by a referee crew. They simply could not keep the flag in their pockets, and apparently felt it incumbent upon them to throw their hankie at the slightest opportunity. Let the guys play!!! The refs are the reason this game went 4 hours.

5. Much credit to BC for being a VERY GOOD football team. I firmly believe that, as the season progresses, BC will show themselves to be a top-5 team and this loss for Tech will not look as bad as it does right now. After all, look at the pasting that VaTech took from LSU and the way Nebraska got blasted by USC last night?

First you kill UGa over their loss to a conference rival last week and now you are ready to throw out our entire staff over the same thing. We didn’t play well, but we got a good team - so does UGa. It’s so unfair how these writers critize even wins (see Moore’s article) to feed controversy and hopefully sell more papers. I’m done with the AJC.

Last shot: why can’t we get jerseys to match our helmets and why does our student body wear yellow, yes yellow? Even home depot and BC can match paint color better than us. Finally, please stop throwing objects at opposing teams. Grow up

Hey AJC, on what page can I find the story about all those intelligent, sophisticated, and worldy Georgia Tech fans throwing projectiles at the opposing team? I can’t seem to find it.

At any rate, I tried the warn the Techies that direct snaps to the running back would not work against a defense with a pulse. They didn’t believe me. Looks like Bennett isn’t quite the savior the lab geeks were making him out to be in the summer. What a shocker. In fact, he looked alot like Reggie Ball pitching hissy fits and crying when things didn’t go his way. But that’s the Georgia Tech way isn’t it. If the ACC wasn’t such a joke conference this Georgia Tech team would be a 6 or 7 win team at best.

• Disappointment before the first quarter was over by the D in the O and by the fans (me certainly included) in QB and TC.
• Some bad calls but to be fair BC got come bad calls as well. The worst was the spot on Smith’s catch. Killed our drive. The play was even reviewed. Looked ‘indisputable’ to me. He didn’t step out until 8 yards past the first down marker.
• As usual our secondary needs help. Is it me or is everyone else sick of seeing opposing teams complete passes where we don’t even have a defender within 10 yards. I know we play a pressure D and zone coverage but a good QB beats that every time, especially on a night we couldn’t get pressure. I think we had 2 sacks all night and the first time Ryan fumbled.
• Coaching not up to par. Adjustments PLEASE, just once in my life I want to hear the commentators say ‘Tech made the right adjustments and pulled it out’.
• Someone please tell TB he doesn’t have a double pump EVERYTIME. Cost us a TD to the TE in the first quarter. Also, and to be fair TB got better in the 2nd half, but throw the ball to the target don’t loft it.
• All that being said, PW makes the interception (that hit him in the hands) on the BC 15 and it is a touchdown and we are only down 21-14 with plenty of time left.

Now, kill me if you must, but I am worried about the rest of the year. ND and Samford had all us fooled about how good we were. PLEASE PROVE MY WORRY WRONG.

Think about it if that fumble had not been reversed Tech would have punched it in to make it 21-14 and it would be a different ball game.

Wanna know how we got beat? It wasn’t Ryan. TB, heck, Reggie Freakin’ L—— Ball could have put up 400 passing yards behind that O-line of BC’s. We were outsized and outplayed, up front, on both sides of the ball.

Maybe BC’s lines have been eating their Flutie Flakes or something…

I don’t know who else on our sked has that kind of line (Clempsun?)—but remember, as long as we beat Puke, Carowhina, the Yahoos, the Candy Canes, and the Hoagies we’re going back to Jax.

And if we see BC again, hopefully we can do something different the next time.

We got beaten by a great team. Whether or not we are great too depends on how well we rebound against the Cadavers.

Go home and drink a big ole cup of shut up juice. This was not Taylor’s fault. Look at his stats. The play calling was bad. This was a good thing for Tashard. He needs to quit running his mouth in front of the camera and focus on football. We knew coming into this year our DB’s were suspect. Well..the proof was in the pudding last night. I bet Pat Clark has whip lash this morning. That poor kid has no business on a Div 1 football field. We were completely overpowered on both sides of the line of scrimmage.

Who brought the REF to this game? I think there maybe some shady dealing going on with this game. 1) These REF’s let BC hold all night and they called it less than HALF the time. 2) They blew a call on a momentum building drive when the receiver clearly stayed inbound and got the first down. 3) The pass interference call they called that never happened.

Someone needs to make sure these REFs aren’t hanging with the REF from the NBA who just got caught. I bet the ACC will be sending GT a letter saying they missed a few call and they are sorry. This happens every week, the only problem is nothing can be done about it, the game is over. STAY STRONG TECH!

Things GT found out about this game:

2. No inspiration and perspiration equals a uninspired performance
3. GT has lots of room for improvement but still have a chance for a good (no longer great)year
4. We have a great punter!
5. BC has a great All Around team
6. GT was outplayed and out coached
7. The GT offense is at best - average - Bennett is still missing passes and throwing the ball into the ground too much.

There’s no rival for us in the SEC with as much of a hateful, mean spirited fan base - I have met good fans from each one of our rivals. But not Tech. Each one of you is more nasty than the next.

Your hate spewing at Georgia, and not one nice fan among you, has really sickened me the last few years, and even though we always beat you, and have been generally losing to Florida, I take personal glee and happiness everytime your s** University loses a football game.

You’re the worst fans in all of sports and I can’t think of a more evil, nasty group of human beings who deserve to see their team lose every single game.

If I had ever seen one night Tech fan, I might have a modicum of sympathy, but you people are such despicable, horrible, awful losers, I can’t feel anything but great joy to see you have egg on your face. Tech fans should rot in the fiery hell they came from.

GO DAWGS!!!!! I am danncing on your ashes, you evil Tech a—holes.

I love how UGA fans call us “geeks.”

We call them “scumbags,” “drunks,” “inbred,” the best they can come up with is “geeks.”

I’m guessing more Tech “geeks” sign paychecks for their UGA employees than the other way around. So you can thank us “geeks” for allowing you to plunk down your hard-earned money for that new Mustang in your driveway.

You techies are pathetic! After losing to a clealy superior team, all you can do is make excuses… The refs cost us the game, if we had their QB we would’ve won, etc… Or, you change the subject and try to inflate your sense of self-worth by putting down the flagship university of the state that is just up 316. When will you grow up and accept your team for what it is… an average team in a less than average conference. Plus, what in the world does tech’s loss have to do with UGA??? Can’t you find your own identity that is separate from them?

Tech is definitely a quality academic institution.

Too funny how the dumb-a$$ ugay fans (and others) that disappeared after Tech started 2-0 suddenly reappear on here….

The problem for Tech is no shock - the corners. BC is primarily a passing team and they took advantage of Tech’s main weakness.

There is no shame for the then #15 team to lose to the then #21 team.

Spend more time with your head in a book than up your own a$$ and maybe you’ll crawl out of the depths of society.

BC is a super team and should be in the top 12, maybe top 10. Tech played as well as I expected. Bennett made no turnovers and completed half of his passes which is all I expect from him. This after the running game had been shut down and passing became the only option when you’re behind. Ryan is as good as I’ve seen in years and really put on a clinic. All this being said I think Tech can handle any other ACC team but Clemson is the one that concerns me most.

There are several references on this blog to Chan’s stubbornness about running the football, even when it is not working. I agree with this analysis.

Chan: Teams do win football games sometimes when they are not the strongest, biggest team. It looked to me like you were determined to run the ball even after you saw that it was not going to work. An elementary student could see that at halftime, we needed to try another direction offensively. It would have been nice if you and Bond had seen this by the end of the 1st quarter, but you definitely should have realized it by the 4th quarter.

Bama,

As I told you the other night, Alabama is no longer a football school either. You simply haven’t realized it yet. Your record over the last ten years is something like 12 games over .500 (much worse than Tech’s).

Switching gears - I was at the game last night. Poor coaching and a bad matchup led to our ultimate demise. The referees WERE bad, but it did not lose the game for us. For all of our talk about our great offensive and defensive lines, WE ARE STILL TOO SMALL UP FRONT. Teams with larger lineman with a slight touch of quickness will manhandle us on both sides of the football (just like BC did). As a result, we will probably lose to Clemson, VT, and UGA.

However, it doesn’t help when our coaching staff REFUSES to stop trying the up the middle runs that NEVER AND I MEAN NEVER WORKED THE ENTIRE BALLGAME! After the first quarter, we should have lined up Taylor in the shotgun and thrown the ball to set up the run.

Tashard and Dwyer will not be able to win ballgames for us when teams are beating us up front. But, our line seems to provide fairly decent pass protection. If Gailey and Bond are too scared to put the game in Taylor’s hands, then they need to go ahead and get Nesbitt playing now.

On a final note, I was embarrassed last night to be a Tech fan. Throwing anything on to the field shows a complete lack of class.

Simply put, Tech was outmanned, out scored and definitely out coached. Notre Dame blow out was a fluke as was Samford (aren’t they know best for paper products?). his may be coaching, Techies; get yourselves a COACH and let him hire a COACHING STAFF if you want to win. As a Georgia fan, the same goes for GA: Get a Coach that can rev the guys up and make them play, get a staff that will kick a* and motivate them… PCinDuluth (GA, that is)

Bama - I will update the stats just for you.

You are now 15 games over .500 in the past 10 plus seasons. Yep, Bama football is back.

I will give credit where it is due - you beat a decent team in Arkansas. But don’t get too exicited just yet. That victory was at home and you gave up 38 points. You will not be able to win those type of offensive shootouts too often. If you beat UGA in a couple of weeks, you can come back a crow that “Bama is back” and that your team is better than ours. Until then, just be happy with a good win.

You have a good football coach for NOW. Nick Saban is just like an unfaithful husband. Sure, he seems like a good thing when he is with you, but as soon as something better comes along, he will be out the door.

And please, PUH-LEASE don’t tell me how “Alabama is special - Saban will stay”. Fran left you for Texas A&M!

Reality - Tech was beaten by a worthy, classy opponent. Congratulations to BC!

Officiating was terrible bringing fans to react by throwing debris on the field. Not a classy move on the Tech fans part. (Out of the other side of my mouth though - I wish the throw would have been a little more accurate when the ball was returned to the field after BC’s PAT in the third quarter. For those of you that were at the game and saw it, I am sure you know what I am talking about, it was right after the two pass interference calls that lead to the score.)

That said, you can’t allow yourself to be in a position to allow the officiating crew to have an influence on the out come of the game. Tech allowed the officiating crew to have an opportunity to have that influence. Officiating contributed to the loss but poor officiating did not cause the loss.

Word-Daniels was all talk before the game but he and his fellow defensive backs needed to put their money where his mouth was. We need to work on pass rush and pass defense because after last night, every team we play with throw and throw often. Take a look at the AJC.com game pictures – the very first one shows Word-Daniels getting beat. It was that way all night, hold ‘em for two downs and then get beat on third down for a big gain and a first down.

Taylor Bennett – Not a great game but not a terrible one either. No turnovers, no interceptions but several passes that were a little off the mark.

Coaches – Need better play calling on both sides of the ball.

Again, BC was a classy opponent. The score could have been worse had they not chosen to run the clock out at the end of the game. It may be because they feel there may be another game with Tech in their future this year but I still think it was because they have class.

Okay Jackets, heads back up, rally around and let’s move forward. It is what it is and we can’t change what happened. Let’s learn from the mistakes of the past and make ourselves better. Look around at other teams and their fans that insist upon living in the past (you know who they are), it does nothing for them and will do nothing for us.

WOW I am shocked at what I have read on this blog.

First, I have attended games at both UGA and Tech and the fans have been great. I must admit that the first time at Grant Field, the Tech fans were shouting the “N” word at Rodney Williams — Very bad. I would be quite surprised if it has not come out of the mouth of many UGA fans too.

Secondly, I was a bit shocked that the Tech fans were throwing things onto the field during the loss to Boston College.

So, I understand that we all have great passion for our teams, but when does it cross the line? All of these hate filled message, why, a football game, a football team, and a few states. I love the Tech fans, Bama fans, Vol fans and even Gamecock and Gator fans. Show each other some love…. Only one team can win the National Championship, it may be LSU, UF or USC. As long as it’s not Steve Spurrier, I don’t care a DAMN!

Last night’s game was a typical Chan fiasco. Yes, there were some poor calls by the refs (throwing things on the field did nothing but show lack of class). But, the coaching was worse. There should have been major adjustments at half time but as usual, there weren’t. When the blitz wasn’t working, cover those receivers! Pass on first down—-don’t wait until you’re forced on third down. We did that last year against Virginia Tech and won. Bennett looked like Reggie last night—-it was awful! I thought it would be a close game but they kicked our a* all the way around. Clemson will too if things don’t change. I felt Nesbitt should have been put in but Chan never changes once a game is started which is poor coaching. If things aren’t going well, try something else. Bond has not impressed me at all. I’ve never been fond of Chan and that game just reinforced that feeling. I think he needs to look at films from the O’Leary era—-he did make adjustments and we pulled some games out! It will be interesting to see what happens the rest of the season.

The only good thing I can say about the BC game is that I’m glad I decided not to pay the PSL. The worst is yet to come for Tech this season with Gailey at the helm. DRad’s Tech Fund is going to backfire badly, and the GTAA will be back in the red by 2008. What DRad and the rest of the mouthbreathers at the GTAA haven’t realized is that a lot of AT donors maintained their donations one more year just to hedge their bets in case the GTAA changed its mind about reseating the stadium. Right now the GTAA is barely in the black, and that’s after Tech went to the Gator Bowl and the NCAA tournament last season! Next year AT donations will take a big drop, and then the sh** will hit the fan at Georgia Tech.

But we did get beat. Including our coaching staff. And folks, this was our first meeting in ACC play, so it was a crap shoot in terms of game planning anyhow. Know we know that Ryan is a very good two step drop passer and his vision is through the solar system. GT will be fine. Bennett did begin to find his rythm as the game went on but our recievers are so dusty that they dropped more balls than a I’ve ever seen. Don’t give up on them.

DC Jon Tenuta is not one to call off the blitz, but when it’s not working at all (or almost never), and a guy who throws like that is picking you apart, why not drop into a coverage-centered scheme?

There’s two really good reasons for that. Tech can’t “man up” against superior talent so they have to blitz to even have a prayer. And history backs that up based on all the blow out losses Tenuta has suffered at Tech. Jon Tenuta is about to become the next Joe Lee Dunn. When better teams with better talent figure out what he is doing he can’t stop a pee wee team. We are facing a long year. I shudder to think what James Davis and C.J. Spiller will do to your smoke and mirror defense. We have no Reggie to pin it all on anymore and no CJ to make impossible plays in our heave and hope offense and a “star” running back that has a fast mouth and limited capability against quality defenses.

Congrats to BC, as they came into this game better prepared than we did. They knew they had to stop the run, and they did. They knew Pat Clark couldn’t handle 1 on 1, and exposed him.

Now then, while I firmly believe BC would have won anyways, the officiating was awful. To the post above that said the calls went both ways, I disagree. Holding calls on Tech was generally because one of our guys got their hands to high. Holding calls on Boston College was generally because Michael Johnson had a bead on the quarterback, and one of the O-lineman actually tackled him.

The “review” of the 4th and 1 play should have been a first down for Greg Smith, led to a punt. Two pass interference calls on the next drive for BC, one for Guyton who didn’t even touch the receiver, and another one that should have been a no call.

It’s bad enough that Matt Ryan was completing every pass he threw…and getting flagged for the few times we actually had decent coverage.

Like I said, Tech got soundly beat, but it would have been a closer game had the officiating not been so horrible. I can watch a game, and not be angry, when Tech is simply beat by a better team. But bad officiating…that’s a different story :)

People its only one game, its not the end of the world, we lost, so what, BC played much better than us, hell they are the better team and they deserve to win Saturday. it hurt me as much as it hurt all of us to lose, but its only one game. Gailey and Bond were considered geniouses after the ND win, that was a big win on the road, well we have plenty of games to make up for one loss and we can start this weekend against Virginia, forget about Clemson and Va Tech. we have to worry about Va, and trying to get a win on the road which is never easy no matter what team you play. stop calling out players and coaches, its was everyones fault and we have to support our team during a loss as much as we do a win thats a real fan. this is sickening and im tired of the finger pointing. and you can say what you want about Gailey, because I have issues with him as well, but he has never had a losing season, he has had top recruiting classes under his belt and he has at least sustained the relevancy of our program. no team in our division thinks we are a joke, Tech is highly respected in the ACC and thats all that matters. on any given day the Yellow Jackets will beat you no matter who you are. ask Auburn, Miami, Va Tech, these are schools that we probably shouldnt have beaten but did. lets not forget that Tech fans, we were just in the ACC championship just a few months ago. we played in on a new years day bowl as well. bottom line its one game. ITS ONE FREAKIN GAME TECH FANS, ITS NOT THAT SERIOUS.

GO JACKETS!!!

and um gone

I hate UGAy fans with every depth of my soul. Go find a greased up pig to wrestle around with and stay off our blog!

The thing that Tech needs to learn how to do is adapt the game plan if the game plan isn’t working. With all the blitzing we did, Ryan was on the ground once that I saw. So quit blitzing so much, drop back, and help our struggling pass defense.

Pretty frustrating game, but now we have our heads in check and we are ready to move on to next week. Lets get it goin Jackets!

Totally uninspired F-Ball from the get-go. Galley was outcoached again. But as bad as the Team was, the bigger embarrasement was the fans. Throwing things on the field is inexcusable, and made GT look horrible….in front of a national audience. Jacket fans lack class, and this is accross ALL sports. Grow Up!!!!

Nice comments about lucky win Taylor Bennet. Are you going to send them personally to Boston College before the conference championship or just leave it a couple hundred others to provide them the slight angle.

Two suggestions. One, send it yourself you might as well look over confident not just like a cry baby loser. Two, try to make your reads a little faster to complete a few more passes and keep your receivers from taking shots.

It is very funny to see so many ugay fans on here…. You guys lost to an UNRANKED team. At least the team that we lost to was ranked!

Our records are the same 2-1.

Even more embarrassing for ugay are the idiot ugay fans that use pro-Tech names/handles and pose as Tech fans. You guys are as transparent as your brains.

As I was driving home Sunday, I looked in my mirror to see a silver car with a G tag on the front. As they passed me (speeding of course), they must have noticed the Yellow Jackets magnet and GT sticker on the rear of my van as they proceeded to hoot and holler and pump their fists in the air like they had something to do with Tech’s loss or even yet Georgia’s win. Of course they got no response from anyone in my vehicle.

Their car also had a G sticker on the rear window and (here is the best part) one of those gay RAINBOW stickers on the rear deck lid. Along with that, add the irony that they had BUTTS county plates on the car, how appropriate!

Proof that UGA fans are both Obnoxious AND Gay.

And they wonder why they are hated…….

GT does not have a very good defensive backfield and Tenuta has compensated by blitzing to force the quick throw. BC has a great QB and they basically kept the backs in to block and bet that GT could not cover well enough to beat them. It worked perfectly, but Ryan is the key. Not many college QB’s can place the ball like that. While I agree that the blitz was not working, I don’t think it would have mattered if GT had dropped 10 into coverage. If Tech hopes to beat BC, then the offense will have to improve. We were beat at the line of scrimmage, but it looked like shorter passes were open as the BC linebackers were playing run first. A few 5 to 8 yard passes might have forced the BC linebackers into coverage and that might have given Tech some running lanes. My bottom line is that BC dominated the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball. In a turnover free game, BC wins every time. I still think GT is a good football team and I believe we will match up better with the remaining teams on the schedule; however, Bennett has got to step it up. If we cannot establish a credible passing game, then we are going to be facing 10 in the box before long. THWG!

Did anyone else see BC’s plan to keep Matt Ryan from gettting rattled by getting hit? It was pretty clear to me with all the blatent holding penalties, that BC made a direct decision that they were going to hold rather than let their quarterback be hit. In all honesty it makes a lot of sense for their situation. Many times their linemen clearly tackled our guys when they were beat. They got the flag often, but ultimately they saved a hit on the QB and didn’t lose a down from the sack.
I think we might see more of that as time goes on since it seemed to work pretty well when Ryan then passed for huge chunks of yardage when his linemen weren’t tackling our blitzers.

True, Matt Ryan had a decent performance and that GT’s pass coverage was atrocious, but it’s not like BC scored 60 plus points against us. The most evident problem was with GT’s offensive game plan (or lack thereof). The cheerleaders could have opened more holes and played better than GT’s O-line. Also, the receiver-by-committee concept is a joke when none on the committee is capable of catching a beach ball. Lastly, Bennett, who apparently showed great moxie during training camp by fighting, has shown little to no moxie during an actual game. He appears to be on the opposite end of the spectrum from Reggie Ball when it comes to assertiveness but with the same result of being quite ineffective as a QB.

Also, Bond’s play-calling was beyond embarrassing. Did he actually think those same, tired direct-snap-to-Choice (with Bennett lined up on the end) plays used against an inferior Notre Dame team would have worked against BC? VERY POOR GAME PREPARATION, BOND!

By JW: I warned you guys about jumping on the Chan Gailey Bandwagon. It will crash and burn everytime. Coaching is about 70% of college football. Good coaches WIN- Spurrier-Saban. BAD former NFL coaches-Gailely and the Pittsburg coach LOSE. Every team now knows they can throw at will against Tech’s secondary. I saw Tech players and coaches with their heads down, late in the third quarter.
WHERE DID THESE OFFICIALS COME FROM? BOSTON!!! Please Chan, get us out of those AWFUL BLACK SHOES AND SOCKS. If we are going to lose at least we could look good.
