Angry Tweets: CFB fans react to Georgia’s No. 4 ranking

Angry college football fans tweet after Georgia football checked in at No. 4 in the CFP Rankings.

On Tuesday night, Georgia checked in at No. 4 in the College Football Playoff rankings, remaining the highest ranked one-loss team.

According to the most recent edition of the CFP rankings, Georgia’s ranked wins include:

No. 16 Notre Dame

No. 10 Florida

No. 15 Auburn

The full top-six is as follows:

1. LSU

2. Ohio State

3. Clemson

4. Georgia

5. Alabama

6. Oregon

Surprisingly, Texas A&M, which Georgia hosts this weekend, remained unranked despite checking in at No. 23 in both the Amway Coaches Poll and the AP Top-25.

Following the release of the rankings, college football fans gave their thoughts on Twitter.

Originally, I was planning on making this an article that included happy tweets from UGA fans. Then, as I browsed Twitter all I saw was triggered fans of other schools…mostly Alabama. 

Enjoy.

WATCH: Antonio Brown apologizes to Robert Kraft on Instagram

Antonio Brown injected himself into headlines yet again for a post that is out of character by comparison to the many rants he has gone on throughout the fall.

Antonio Brown injected himself into headlines yet again Tuesday, this time for a social media post that is out of character by comparison to the many rants he has gone on throughout the fall.

A post the free-agent wide receiver shared on his Instagram account included a picture of him in his Patriots uniform Sept. 15 and was captioned, “Mr.Kraft I apologize sincerely to you and your organization! All I wanted to be was an asset to the organization; sorry for the bad media and the drama! Thank you sincerely, AB”

Brown played in only one game this season, helping the Patriots (9-1) past the Dolphins with four receptions for 56 yards and one touchdown. He was released the following week after the NFL opened an investigation in response to accusations of violation of the NFL’s personal conduct policy — specifically, Brown is accused of sexual assault, harassment, and rape.

At different points since team owner Robert Kraft and the Patriots announced that Brown would no longer be a part of their team, Brown took to social media to attack the owner for his own legal case involving his visit to a massage parlor and engagement in sex acts.

A week after the NFL sat down with Brown for the first time since opening its investigation, Brown’s tone is apologetic.

Kirk Herbstreit shows love to Georgia football after win over Auburn

The famed analyst gave the Dawgs praise after an impressive win

After their nail-biting yet still impressive road victory over the rival Auburn Tigers, former Ohio State quarterback and current college football analyst Kirk Herbstreit gave the Georgia Bulldogs some Twitter praise.

Herbstreit listed the Dawgs as his second best-performing team of the week, trailing only the Oklahoma Sooners, who rallied to overcome a 28-3 deficit and defeat the Baylor Bears.

It certainly was an impressive victory for the Dawgs. They marched into hostile territory, and though it got closer than it probably should have been towards the end of the contest, UGA still escaped with a 21-14 victory, which is no easy feat. The defense took center stage, showing why many believe that the unit will give the Dawgs a fighting chance in their SEC Championship matchup with LSU.

The Dawgs will next take the field this Saturday for their final home game coming against the Texas A&M Aggies.

Best Twitter reactions from Chiefs’ Week 11 win against Chargers

The Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Chargers Week 11 game helped create some great tweets and we’ve found some of the best!

It took until the final seconds of the game, but the Kansas City Chiefs managed to hold off AFC West rivals the Los Angeles Chargers to take home a needed victory in Mexico City. Thanks to a late interception from Daniel Sorenson, Andy Reid’s men are back on top of the division and still in serious conversations for a Super Bowl appearance.

As Chiefs Kingdom breathes a sigh of relief, here are the best tweets from Kansas City’s 24-17 win against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Injuries aplenty

First, it was Tyreek Hill, then it was Austin Reiter, then it was Jordan Lucas, then it was Damien Williams and the list goes on. The Chiefs could not escape injuries Monday night, and now it leaves more questions than hope about the team’s fitness.

The Mahomes-Kelce connection that broke the internet

Up until the five-minute mark in the third quarter, tight end Travis Kelce was largely silent, with the exception of a few great plays here and there. However, it was the 23-yard touchdown pass from Patrick Mahomes that put him back conversation of who was the biggest playmaker of the evening.

Daniel Sorenson saves Chiefs from another embarrassing loss.

Safety Daniel Sorenson had his fair share of struggles on Monday. However, it was his interception off a bad throw from Philip Rivers that he will be remembered for, especially because he saved the Chiefs from not only another tragic loss but also prevented the Oakland Raiders from going top of the table in the AFC West.

The Chiefs are on a much-deserved bye week before hosting the Raiders in another contentious AFC West matchup on December 1.

Twitter reacts to Chargers’ loss to Chiefs

People on Twitter had a lot to say about quarterback Philip Rivers following the Chargers’ loss to the Chiefs.

The Chargers were in need of a victory in order to keep their playoff hopes alive, but instead, quarterback Philip Rivers was unable to guide his team and is at fault for their gut-wrenching loss to the Chiefs.

Rivers struggled to take care of the football, finishing the game with four interceptions. His turnovers were what cost Los Angeles from winning in primetime.

With the loss, the Bolts are now sitting at 4-7, and their shot at the postseason is now nearly nonexistent.

Here’s a look at Twitter following the Chargers’ 24-17 loss to the Chiefs on Monday night:

Ex-teammates say Su’a Cravens is safe with family after scary social media posts

Former Redskins and Broncos safety Su’a Cravens is safe with family after posting alarming messages on social media on Sunday.

Former Redskins and Broncos Su’a Cravens safety posted alarming messages on his Instagram story Sunday before setting his account to private and listing his display name as “RIP 🙏🏾.”

“If these are my last days I want to say I love you ❤️ and I always will,” Cravens posted on his Instagram story. “God I leave the rest to you.”

One hour later, Cravens posted “Goodbye ❤️.”

Raiders linebacker Will Compton, who played with Cravens in 2016, tweeted on Sunday evening that the former safety is safe and with family.

Former Redskins safety Will Blackmon, who also played with Cravens in 2016, also tweeted good news.

Cravens (6-1, 224 pounds) entered the league as a second-round pick out of USC with the Redskins in 2016. The safety-linebacker hybrid and had an impressive rookie season, totaling 34 tackles, one sack and one interception.

Cravens suffered from post-concussion syndrome in 2017 and sat out his entire second season. Washington traded him to Denver in 2018 and he dressed for five games with the Broncos, totaling 18 tackles.

Cravens didn’t appear to be an ideal fit in Vic Fangio’s defense this summer and failed to make the 53-man roster. Denver opted to go with Justin Simmons, Kareem Jackson, Will Parks and Trey Marshall instead.

Cravens has remained a free agent since late August.

Twitter reacts to Bucs’ brutal loss to Saints

The Bucs were searching for a much-needed victory against the Saints in Sunday’s crucial NFC matchup.

The Bucs were searching for a much-needed victory against the Saints in Sunday’s crucial NFC matchup, but instead, Jameis Winston and company, unfortunately, walked out of Raymond James Stadium with a gut-wrenching 37-17 loss.

Tampa Bay’s first touchdown of the day came from Peyton Barber on a 6-yard touchdown. Jameis Winston’s 48-yard pass to rookie wide receiver Scotty Miller set the Bucs up with first-and-goal from the one-yard line with less than three minutes remaining in the second quarter and Barber was able to put the Buccaneers on the board.

Rookie kicker Matt Gray then added three points to the scoreboard after nailing a 55-yard field goal, making the score 20-10 after the Saints got off to a solid start.

In an effort to stay alive and turn things around, Chris Godwin tried to keep the Bucs’ hopes alive by hauling in their second touchdown of the day and his seventh receiving touchdown of the season, adding another 7 for Tampa Bay. Unfortunately, however, numerous turnovers, multiple mistakes, and some miscommunication, unfortunately, cost Tampa Bay the game. With the loss, the Bucs are sitting at 3-7 this season while the Saints now improve to 8-2.

Here’s a closer look at what Twitter is saying following their loss:

Twitter blows up over Texans WR DeAndre Hopkins not drawing pass interference against the Ravens

Twitter was not pleased with the refs not calling pass interference on the Baltimore Ravens for interfering with Houston Texans WR DeAndre Hopkins.

On a fourth-and-2 from the Baltimore Ravens’ 33-yard line, Houston Texans coach Bill O’Brien decided to go for it. Quarterback Deshaun Watson dropped back and pulled the trigger for the deep ball to receiver DeAndre Hopkins.

Ostensibly, Hopkins could have made the play, but Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey tackled Hopkins before he could even have a chance to get his hands on the ball.

As a result of the no-call by referee Alex Kemp’s crew, there was considerable Twitter backlash.

Maybe it wasn’t so much the alleged interference from Humphrey as it was the decision by New York to not overturn the no-call on the field and call pass interference after O’Brien challenged.

 

 

Even former Ravens safety Eric Weddle opined that the decision to not overturn the call was highly questionable.

 

 

 

Ultimately, with just five overturned decisions on the field relative to pass interference, the league seems to be sending a message with the new rule to challenge pass interference.
