The 3rd down calls putting the Bears in these situations are absolutely atrocious. How many 3rd long delayed handoffs are we going to run. If you know you're going on 4th throw in 3rd!

One thing I didn't see anyone mention was our horrible clock management at end of half.

No reason to go into a half with timeouts in our pocket.

Use that last one and we have time for at least 2 more on plays.

Agreed. I'm tired of these stupid damn draw calls. I excused some of the early ones during the feeling out process. But they're getting stuffed every time now.

Big problem with Aranda is he never fights for his team. That was a close call and cool hand Dave just takes it. Show his players some respect and scream at the call.

Maybe we get a call later

It was mentioned. Dave continues to be a pretty bad in game manager. Game moves too fast for him.

One can tell in even his interviews. That was also pretty bad.

Unfortunately, this is probably the most likely outcome.

There have been so many obvious PIs by the LSU defense it's insane. I have to wonder if the officials are idiots or bought off. Some have been right in front of them!

It's infuriating. ESPN crew are not helping: they say nothing about it or make lame excuses.

Great TD drive. Got to find a way to make a stop here.

They can't stop us. We just keep stopping ourselves.

Unfortunately, we can't stop them without help from the football gods either.

Losing right at the end is way better than losing by six touchdowns in this scenario.
