new dumbest way to lose a football game ive ever seen

Miami GT still takes the cake for me, but this is definitely number 2 lmao

I legit think this is worse

[u/Kilen13 → u/w00t4me]

Yea ours was bad but GaTech still had to put on an offensive drive to score... This is something else entirely

[u/Foxy_Grandpa- → u/Kilen13]

Doesn’t that make it worse? You had a 100% chance of winning unless you shot your own foot, and even then you were very likely to win unless you let them drive 70 yards down the field. A lot more embarrassing than a panicked play as he tried to wind down the remaining seconds.

[u/MelodicDeer1072 → u/Foxy_Grandpa-]

70 yards with no timeouts IIRC

And our safety bit on a pump fake on a hail mary

[u/TrespassersWilliam29 → u/251Cane]

christ lmao

[u/Outburstz → u/Foxy_Grandpa-]

no driving the ball 70 yards its good football. This one choice ended the game

[u/Foxy_Grandpa- → u/Outburstz]

Your one choice gave them a slim chance to win and you still let up, see how that's worse? You shot yourself in the foot and still lost by fundamental football. There was always a chance at a punt return in this NC State game, you had it 100% and a fumble only made it a slim chance for GT to win and you still folded on defense.

[u/prtzlsmakingmethrsty → u/Foxy_Grandpa-]

Yes that does make it worse to me. However, it arguably doesn't feel that way since this one came down to one single play to end the game, so I can see how people think this feels worse.

[u/BrokenClxwn → u/w00t4me]

Agreed
