First-half thread for NU vs. Iowa

[GeauxCatsGeaux]

Also, the underthrown pick was Steph’s fault, right @corbi296 ?


I think I’ve had enough of this game already.

Yea - to me at least. Go up and catch the damn ball.

 

[TheC]

Defense still not filling lanes leading to more big runs.

 

[NUCat320]

Unenjoyable!
Totally unwatchable!
Thank God for Rutgers.

 

[BFDCat]

So you want us to go with the 4th stringer?

Sure why not, can't get any worse.

 

[corbi296]

Anybody notice the DE McLaughlin covering the back out of the backfield on that big Iowa 3rd down conversion? That’s O’Neil’s play calling at work.

 

[jensberg]

At this rate we're looking at another blowout.

 

[peatymeanis]

I think the pick was Bajakian’s fault. Marty had just run a sneak and wasn’t sufficiently recovered to throw deep. Right, @corbi296 ?

If the DB wasn’t as skilled, he wouldn’t have made the play and therefore Marty’s throw was perfect and therefore corbi is right again, as always! corbi can never fail, he can only be failed 🤣🤣

 

[chicagocatfan24]

McIntyre is just god awful

 

[TheC]

More shit tackling.

I did. Good eye corbi. I was hoping Fitz pulled that crapola from the defensive playbook.

 

[GeauxCatsGeaux]

You knew that was a TD when you saw the guy going in motion. No way we were going to make a play on that.

 

[freewillie07]

That’s our consensus All-American overrunning the tackle.

 

[CatManTrue]

That’s our consensus All-American overrunning the tackle.

I have a sneaking suspicion we won’t have any All Americans this season. Unfortunately.

 

[TheC]

I fear we’re headed toward at least a few years of really bad football. Depressing.

 

[NREPP Fraud]

Marty needs to calm down! Jefferson needs to catch that first pass

 

[FanatiCat]

With our offense and Iowa’s defense, ballgame is over at this point. Another game lost in the first 1-1.5 quarters.

 

[GeauxCatsGeaux]

Sometimes we look like we're avoiding it on purpose.

Fitz is going to brag about the 14:30 min of shutout football our D played at the press conference

come back when you have a clue what you are talking about. Yes the Ball was underthrown but that was 1 on 1 coverage and the job of the WR is to go up and make a play on the ball at its high point, not to cup your hands at the waist and wait for the ball to come down to you. At minimum Robinson could have caused on incompletion. The lack of compete across the board on this team is staggering.

 

[CatManTrue]

Another fair catch on kickoff return at the 7 yard line and with no one near him! Beautiful.

 

[stpaulcat]

The positive--14-0 for the opponent in the second quarter rather than the first.

 

[TheC]

His knee hit. He didn’t get there.

 

[CatManTrue]

Malik with the second effort. Hope he got it!

 

[FanatiCat]

His knee hit. He didn’t get there.

It absolutely looks like he was short but you cannot see the ball in any of the angles. That’s the key.

 

[freewillie07]

We got lucky. There’s no way he got there. I’ll take it.

 

[BFDCat]

Matt Millen is a moron.

 

[freewillie07]

Marty: 7/17, 42 yards, 0 TD, 1 INT, 2 sacks

Are we *sure* our other QBs would be just as bad?

 

[BFDCat]

We got lucky. There’s no way he got there. I’ll take it.

"lucky", meaning 3 more plays before we had to punt.

 

[Turk]

Matt Millen is a moron.

Lol.
That was hilarious. And its true

 

[freewillie07]

"lucky", meaning 3 more plays before we had to punt.

“playing the field position game,” as they say

 

[DaCat]

Bajakian is no QB whisperer. Not impressed.

 

[SmellyCat]

The last two weeks: we're getting tackles by pulling the players forward three yards.

 

[nickcat4]

"lucky", meaning 3 more plays before we had to punt.

Marty not the answer

 

[TheC]

Marty: 7/17, 42 yards, 0 TD, 1 INT, 2 sacks

Are we *sure* our other QBs would be just as bad?

Yes… with no line talent and no receive talent, all our QBs would look bad.

 

[HawkCat]

We are zero threat to score tonight. Impotent.

 

[NUCat320]

I really enjoy Millen talking about “in the papers”.

 

[Turk]

McIntyre is just god awful

Awful indeed but we dont have any other recruits any better.

Not saying any more players will want to come here but unless we get about 10 stud transfers, things will become much worse.

 

[DaCat]

Niro!!!!

 

[eddie_gocats]

Do we have the best college football facilities for a 3 win team? The lake must be distracting.

 

[FanatiCat]

Marty: 7/17, 42 yards, 0 TD, 1 INT, 2 sacks

Are we *sure* our other QBs would be just as bad?

Our previous starting QBs all got a lot more time than this to prove themselves. And Iowa is probably the highest ranked D we’ve faced.

Edit. Wow that was a bad wide open miss in the end zone. Come on Marty. If we end up with zero points off this blocked punt, game over.
