Do you think Patrick Peterson had a bad game last night?

Julio Jones got the ball thrown to him 4 times at one point during the first half and all four were completions. Peterson also should have waved his arms frantically on the punt that hit Brooks so Brooks would've known that the punt was short. That play could have haunted us. Peterson also should have fair caught that ball right before half at the 10 but let it bounce to the 3. I also thought that he tried to tackle too high on a few tackles but the tackle on the touchdown that was reviewed was a bang bang play that was not his fault. What u say? Is Jones that good and Peterson a little overrated?

I wouldn't say it was a "bad" game, but dude has not made a play since his Heisman pose. Make a fricking play All-American.

I think he played pretty good actually. Julio and McElroy made some plays is all.

PP has consistently gotten beaten on man-on-man situations. This is nothing new. This is why I've said he should never really be compared to a Tommy Casanova in terms of dominating a game defensively.

His strength, however, lies in doing all kinds of crazy stuff all over the field and just being an all-around playmaker. He still is.

PP had good coverage on most of the plays,qb made real good throws and julio made so good catches. The difference in this game was we shut down Maze, he is the real difference maker.

Total bullshite!!

For the most part Jones only caught balls that were undefendable. Outside shoulder fades, certain jumps. Jones and Peterson were about even. Sometimes Petsorson won on the play, sometimes Jones and McElroy. You can't win every play. However, Jones did not extensively burn us all night long. I'd say it was a battle which was pretty much a draw, which is better than anyone else could have done and I will take any day.

8 tackles 3 breakups, the main guy he covered 89 yards on 17 throw toss, that is like 5.4 yards per attempt.

JJ was 5.6 yards per attempt before the Bama game.


So now, how effective was he again?

No, I don't think he had a bad game and Julio is da man and all that shite is shite, it was largely due to McElroy's improvement on throwin, throwin over Julio's back shoulder where only he could catch it and most of the nite pinpoint passin that any great CB would have had trouble stopping because PP had him blanketed once again!

on the TD toss as soon as Julio cut he threw it high and soon, PP who immediately recovered could not stop a pass that soon and high where only the WR could catch it, just great throwing by McElroy was the difference this time around! but even with that the Mad Hatter still kicked their asses!

People those passes were on the $ & some took time to develop. PP made excellent tackles and got beat on some plays. The only one that wasn't a heck of a throw+catch was the pass to Maze. Greg threw his best passes towards PP, as if he and JJ practiced all week on those particular passes! Good job PP, not shut down but good job!

No , how many game changing plays did Julio make. PP had him covered pretty good but the passes were pretty good as well. He had the one td but he didn't even have many first domwn catches. How many plays did they want to throw to Juilo, but PP had him covered, so they threw to someone else or the qb got sacked ?

Not at all do I think PP played a bad game. I just think the inexperience as a returner showed up(even being the great job he's done), and his attention to other things like return game and cramps has taken away from his focus to get the reps he needs to get better.

as an outsider on the game it looked to me that LSU tried to mug Julio on several attempts. I know that he was somewhat hit/pushed while out of bounds. I do agree with that is how you got to play him in a big game.
