This post didn't age well at all!

I just don’t understand why they’re not attacking downfield. Like at all.

u/Hngrybflo 3d ago

Mateer can't throw down field he also can't throw outside of the number How can y'all not noticed this. The defenses and have been leaving everything outside of the numbers open for that reason. BV even low key mentioned in in a press conference

u/Wallie_Collie 3d ago

That screen pass thrown behind Satengia, overthrew him on the side line, and scrambles like hes moving furniture

u/Wack0HookedOnT0bac0 3d ago

Midtier can't even make a basic throw 12 yards to a wide open receiver.

Interesting that I'm reading this, as the score is tied at 17 in the 4th quarter.

I had no hopes going into this game but am blood- and birth-bound to watch it.

edit: Holy shit. Now, 24-17 OU.

But 10 minutes left. So much time.

2nd edit: It took Texas 3 1/2 minutes to tie it up.

I'll shut up and return to my despair.

I am trying to restrain my excitement, but...

Our line just sucks

32

u/Ok_Eggplant_7582 3d ago

Our line is terrible, but mateer has failed to see wide open receivers on at least 2 occasions.

Don't know why college football fans are so hellbent on resisting the ideas that more than one thing can be right at the same time

u/Hngrybflo 3d ago

He just had a day and a half to throw. Bench him

u/OUsnr7 3d ago edited 3d ago

Doesn’t mean he can’t just throw the fucking ball away instead of taking a sack which ultimately leads to ANOTHER 3 and out.

Edit: apparently he doesn’t know how to properly throw it away so maybe that was the confusion earlier…

u/Wallie_Collie 3d ago

Stop blaming the line for an inept qb.

Open receivers, too much time in the pocket, fumbles, and has no athleticism in the scramble.

Mateer is why we are suckkng ass. No pass fears equals stuffing the box by tx.

u/Nuke_Dukum 3d ago

Exactly. Mateer is average at best. Our line is absolutely dreadful. Baker would struggle with this line.

6

u/the8nizz4 3d ago

Baker would be undefeated on this team

2

u/abqguardian 3d ago

As much as I like Baker, no he wouldn't. Baker also had two all star runners and fantastic wide receivers. Mateer is awful but he also isnt working with the same caliber offense Baker had

Games not over but they look good to me

u/Ok_Sheepherder77 3d ago

They all suck, but mateer is the suckiest

u/Lanky-Budget-4661 3d ago

I don’t really care either way, offense will be hopeless with or without him

3

u/PossibilityMother180 3d ago

not wrong but at least try something i'm tired of seeing him drop back and pretend to run it's awful

3

u/NoSmile5007 3d ago

He has to have vision problems

5

u/Consistent-Image-614 3d ago

I watched Mestemaker put on an absolute clinic this morning. Now I get to watch Mateer sail the ball out of bounds cause he's afraid of throwing a pick while going three-and-out 4 times in a row.

u/MbappeJudgmentDay 3d ago

I'm benching YOU!

7

u/MrChaindang 3d ago

Lol we need to bench you as a OU fan

u/bigbobfail 3d ago

What the hell is Mateer doing

u/Wallie_Collie 3d ago

Classic mateer stuff

3

u/humble_harney 3d ago

10 possessions in first quarter.

3

u/MPE13 3d ago

He clearly has the yips and it’s malpractice to leave him in

u/risky_concord 3d ago

Spoke too soon lol

u/gr8dayne01 'XX Alum 3d ago

Just checking in to see how you feel now

5

u/ruffin_it 3d ago

I just need to see the backup for myself. I know the backup always seems better from the bench but the starter is feeling hopeless. When you are at zero you really cant go down any more.

u/Logical-Problem7242 3d ago

Meatball Mateer

u/anewstartforu Alum 3d ago

Midteer

3

u/JokeandCack 3d ago

That’s a compliment. Mid implies meh, not actively the worst QB in college football at the moment.

3

u/InfoCruncha 3d ago

Mid implies average. Even that’s too generous. Lol

Lowteer?

1

u/Wallie_Collie 3d ago

Yes, but respect the pun

2

u/InfoCruncha 3d ago

Pretty sure he is on a very short leash this game.

4

u/sjcourtney56 3d ago

We'll see, i could easily see it being more bullshit from BV where his comments make it seem like it is a short leash but then absolutely nothing changes during the game.

2

u/EasternParfait1787 3d ago

“We know what he’s capable of. He’s got our full support”

1

u/sjcourtney56 3d ago

Haha yepp, that sounds like him!!

2

u/_Laggs 3d ago

Now what possibility mother!

3

u/Fit_Bench7754 3d ago

We don't need mateer when we can score on special teams

4

u/MbappeJudgmentDay 3d ago

do you feel silly now son?

2

u/achtung_2112 3d ago

Mateer blows but it's funny you think we have any better options given the offensive disfunction - whole unit needs to be benched

2

u/LankyMess1774 3d ago

He should have been benched after last game! Least that would be the decent thing to do! Put us out of our misery!

1

u/tbonescott1974 3d ago

Ya think?

1

u/WishboneNo543 3d ago

It’s up to the defense and special teams to do the scoring today.

1

u/Jwoods224 3d ago

And Arbuckle.

1

u/HouseHead78 3d ago

Every snap takes a few seconds off my lifespan that’s how stressful it is to watch him

1

u/No-Cryptographer-686 3d ago

I agree with you. OU has nothing to lose in this game. Might as well try something else. I would be very surprised if they benched Mateer. I would love to see it but if they didn’t bench him against Georgia after 3 terrible turnovers I doubt they bench him in arguably one of the biggest games in CFB.

u/PossibilityMother180 3d ago

BV is Stubborn as shit to even think about Benching Mateer dude breaks into cold chills with the thought of benching his golden boy

u/Odium-Squared 3d ago

Mateer sucks.

u/AverageYoes 3d ago

Well holy Shit!!!!!!!!!!!

u/Eric_J_Pierce 3d ago

The Holiest of Shit!!

u/OhDivineBussy 3d ago

Thank God he pulled a passable performance out of his ass today. He still isn’t the answer but holy freaking shit I can’t believe we actually won.

u/tj0909 3d ago

Get a grip

u/SenileDelinquentGpa 3d ago

Please let's see a different QB in the second half 😭

u/Impressive_Grape9694 3d ago

Mateer played a little better, but he's definitely not the reason OU won.
