Game thread for Northwestern vs. Minnesota

[FeralFelidae]

Well, at least it's still a 2-score game.

 

[DaCat]

Is it Jack Lausch time?

 

[AdamOnFirst]

I usually refrain from the game day over-reaction thread, but this might be the worst Coached team I have seen this side of Lovie.

Hey, at least the pumpkin heads lost

 

[DaCat]

Sully back in, but still the same play caller.

 

[DaCat]

Bajakian is a 3 and out machine.

 

[Day381]

A lot pressure being placed on the defense!!!!!

 

[mesacat]

All our checkdowns are to the left- isn't fakking left ang throwing right permitted?

 

[Purple Pile Driver]

Bajakian is a 3 and out machine.

There is just NO WAY our talent is this much worse than a horrible B1G ten West.

 

[AdamOnFirst]

There is just NO WAY about our talent is this much worse than a horrible B1G ten West.

Our offensive talent is below average in this division, down among the worst TBH. The defensive talent is above average, probably as good or better than everybody but Wisconsin and maybe Nebraska. I feel like you can even see the talent from time to time on our defense this year in between the coherency.

I'm starting to think the offensive coordinator needs to go before the defensive coordinator

Our WRs can’t run routes. Our OL can’t block. At what point do we just have to accept that the whole coaching staff needs to go?

It’s not. Think about it: this team isn’t that far away from a winning record. Duke, Miami OH, SIU, Maryland, and even OSU were all winnable games.

With a decent staff, we could be 5-4 or 6-3 with the same players. The coaching is just that bad. Woof.

 

[phatcat]

Hilinski is dreadful

 

[Troy4L]

Hilinski is the least accurate QB I’ve ever seen

 

[FeralFelidae]

Ugh.

 

[1830sherman]

Who is qb 3?

 

[HawkCat]

Can’t we just try Lausch?

 

[DaCat]

My God, Hilinski, you gotta make that throw! Let's see Lausch. Seems Sully is done for the day.

 

[AdamOnFirst]

I'm starting to think the offensive coordinator needs to go before the defensive coordinator

It’s like improv: yes, and

 

[jensberg]

I can't believe we are still playing Hilinski. Every pass is either of one foot off the ground or over the receiver. There's got to be somebody just as bad or as good as him. He can't complete anything How Could anything be worse.

 

[mesacat]

Hlindki needs to be benched after last throw. We can't complain about the call

 

[LACatFan]

Just turned on the game to watch Hilinski turd up the field. I've seen enough. Back to something better to do.

 

[TerraCat]

We don’t have bad coaching, we have just have had 9 bad Saturdays! The fact that those days are associated with our football schedule are not correlated to coaching according to Patrick Fitzgerald!

 

[DaCat]

Man, Turner is taking a beating from Ibrahim but holding his own. He also forced the fumble, he has a promising future.

 

[DaCat]

Refs not calling the offensive holding against Minny on the pass play. Egregious hold by their receiver and Lewis gets trucked over by the tight end.

Unfortunately you are onto something C. The boys simply aren't being coached up. My uncle would not have any kind words for Fitz and co, that's for sure.

 

[TerraCat]

Hilinski is simply not a D1 quarterback…inaccurate to the point of frustration…what do we have to lose by bringing in Lausch?

 

[DarthCat]

Hilinski is simply not a D1 quarterback…inaccurate to the point of frustration…what do we have to lose by bringing in Lausch?

ah yes. The answer is always another backup quarterback. 🙄

 

[Jaguar 88]

Please no more transfers!!!! They transfer for a reason. They can't cut the mustard elsewhere.

 

[Day381]

My God, Hilinski, you gotta make that throw! Let's see Lausch. Seems Sully is done for the day.

Defense should be simply discourged with offense performance

 

[cattul]

The Gophers achieve victory in the most boring manner imaginable.

It is like losing to one of our successful teams.

 

[DaCat]

ah yes. The answer is always another backup quarterback. 🙄

Would you rather still see Hilinski out there then? Especially with the game basically over already?

 

[Day381]

Please no more transfers!!!! They transfer for a reason. They can't cut the mustard elsewhere.

Not all of transfers are garbage!!!!

 

[TerraCat]

Seriously what do you have to lose? A lost game…let’s see what we got…

 

[DaCat]

Did anyone have any doubt that Minny would score again there to go up 24-3? It's a given. Boo, Fitzy.

 

[cattul]

Please no more transfers!!!! They transfer for a reason. They can't cut the mustard elsewhere.

I’m not sure any of the old rules apply in the new NIL world.

 

[Purple Pile Driver]

Is your Uncle Vince Lombard?

 

[DaCat]

Hate to see our boys keep getting hurt by them Gofers.

 

[Purple Pile Driver]

Please no more transfers!!!! They transfer for a reason. They can't cut the mustard elsewhere.

You mean like Justin Fields and Joe Burrow?

 

[Purple Pile Driver]

Not all of transfers are garbage!!!!

You are about to see 15-20 on next years team.
