Like getting two TD's called back for penalties?
Like a CB dropping a sure fire pick six that hit him square in the chest?

But on Saturday, a day in which he set out to silence his critics and put some distance between he and the rest of the QB class, he fell flat on his face. He knows it too. Hence his emotional outbursts during the game. Even the talking heads mentioned it regarding the conversations they had with Geno.

Then we just see the game differently.
I saw two highly rated QB's both struggle in adverse weather conditions who normally would have put up huge offensive numbers. As far as I saw it, it was not a game where that was ever going to happen. And, again, as I saw it, Geno did what he needed to do as a QB in that situation. Asking him to go for 500 yards and four TDs in that situation is absolutely unrealistic - again, at least to me.
His emotional outburst was due to the missed leg whip call. That was a nine point swing. I'd be pissed to. But as soon as he came to the sidelines, he was calm and went right to his offensive line and tried to pump them up stating "we can get right back in this."
Unfortunately, Syracuse dominated the time of possession and defensively made West Virginia a one dimensional team - a team that had to go downfield with the pass in a game where that was virtually impossible.
But keep ****ing going nuts because I won't agree with you that Geno Smith shit down his leg, that he screwed the pooch, fell flat on his face, that he was horribad and that the numbers are completely irrelevant with zero considerations for weather conditions and that it is stupid to even bring up the performance of the other QB's performance (which was substantially worse) because he doesn't matter.
