Game Thread for NU vs. Illinois

[GECat2]

Marty should not be allowed on the field for the rest of the game.

 

[SLUCATS210]

Just put in Richardson already

 

[cattul]

Considering we haven't had a single lead change in any game all season, this could be over right now.

When the Illinois player waltzed into the end zone untouched, on the next play, I had the same thought.

“Well, this is over. First quarter dagger.”

 

[NREPP Fraud]

Marty is a turnover machine

Hunter please!

 

[WestCoastWildcat]

Another turnover by a qb deep in our own territory followed by an easy score by the Illini. Illustrative of this year’s season. No offense, no defense.

 

[stpaulcat]

You took the words right out of my mouth 👄? People pay 💰 money to see this stuff?

That took less than 12 hours for you to turn.

 

[Hungry Jack]

Great to see incompetence rewarded

 

[NUCatVet]

Fitz, please sit him!

 

[Jaguar 88]

Why are we punishing ourselves by watching this?

I am not. I watched U of M take out the Buckeyes and now MSU leading PSU 14-0. A great day for a former Michigander!!!

 

[GECat2]

That f%$*ing idiot Fitzgerald just put Marty back in. Oh look, he fumbled again!!

 

[Sheffielder]

maybe go wildcat for the rest of the game? hull is the only skill player on offense, right?

 

[stpaulcat]

Fitz is one stubborn dude.

 

[TejasCat]

We are a joke.

 

[lunker35]

Let’s see anyone else other than Marty. He’s completely defeated and lost.

 

[Alvious]

We ought to seriously consider punting on third down at this point.

 

[Sheffielder]

can only imagine the trash that illini defenders are talking in the nu backfield, and nothing our offense can do about it but listen...

 

[BFDCat]

Wow, just wow.

 

[Go Catz]

I can't believe he's still out there. He's had way more chances than Hunter Johnson. No more Marty.

Play Richardson.

 

[NREPP Fraud]

Yank em! Please! Pretty please 🙏

 

[TejasCat]

We probably need a 31-0 illiniois win as a wake-up call to Fitz.

 

[BFDCat]

How are we not playing a QB that actually has a chance to play next year. It makes no God damn ****ing sense.

 

[jensberg]

Fitz is one stubborn dude.

Fire Fitz

 

[eddie_gocats]

Lol … team has quit

 

[SLUCATS210]

Would love to see fitz actually yell at his players

 

[SLUCATS210]

Fitz’s sons team could put out a better freaking effort. What a joke

 

[Vassar69]

But MaRtY iS a GaMeR! 😂

 

[Sheffielder]

Begin 100% serious when I say, at this point, my only hope here is that we lose BIG enough for it to jar Fitz into making decisions (changes).

 

[eddie_gocats]

We shat the hat…

 

[Sheffielder]

Fitz’s sons team could put out a better freaking effort. What a joke

Actually saw his oldest son running around the stadium concourse this season. The kid is humongous.

 

[DaCat]

When is the next basketball game?

 

[Purple Pile Driver]

Might as well lose 70-0. Might force the obvious necessary changes.

 

[NU Houston]

That turnover, singularly, captured the essence of this entire season.

Not only did he fumble, but then he didn't really try to fall on the ball. Ugly.

 

[NUCat320]

Last time Northwestern scored more than 14 points in a game was October 16.

 

[mkilla]

The A team has quit. Play the young guys.

 

[stpaulcat]

Well, The Cats have done it again, 14 points down before the end of the first quarter. PLEASE let JON be dismissed tomorrow. And Immediately begin looking for a QB and some OL. Fitz has a long off season to stew over this.

 

[Alan Smithee]

Another turnover by a qb deep in our own territory followed by an easy score by the Illini. Illustrative of this year’s season. No offense, no defense.

To be fair, our special teams aren’t good either.

 

[catfans5]

One adjective adequately describes the three phase of the game displayed by the Cats: awful.

 

[phatcat]

Considering we haven't had a single lead change in any game all season, this could be over right now.

Imagine this team scoring three more times than anyone . Game is over

 

[Sheffielder]

hadn't realized this would have been the game to tie up the series...i knew we were close but didn't realize this theoretically would have been it...

 

[Go Catz]

Play the young guys, fire JON, raid the portal
