Pat no balls fitzgerald

 

[Bwm57]

Mitchell, Offensive MVP.

 

[TejasCat]

JAckson walks in if we run wide on 3rd down. DID ANYONE THINK WE WOULDNT RUN A QB SNEAK????????

 

[corbi296]

Pat no balls fitzgerald

It was the right call. Blame our OL for getting manhandled at the point of attack.

 

[phatcat]

Lets see. Jumbo package to make F*CKING SURE they have ELEVEN. in the box then QB SNEAK??

fire the coach now

 

[CatsDad]

Our O line got raped.

 

[beetlemania74]

Go for it. Got for it. Go for it. Go for it. Go for it.

I have no faith we would have scored there. Take the FG for the lead. Now trust in the D.

 

[pawildcat]

Would have liked to see Jackson get it there. Doubt they could have kept him out from a half-yard with momentum built up.

 

[nu greek]

Park looked pathetic on the sneak, which was stupid to begin with. Give Jackson the ball Fitz!!!

 

[SockpuppetCat]

Go for it. Got for it. Go for it. Go for it. Go for it.

Normally I would agree with you, but against this Neb run defense, I'm content with retaking the lead.

 

[The_Waterboy]

Thorson finally has the best throw of the afternoon so far - to McHugh on a middle-deep boundary route that was thrown on target and in stride. NU needs MANY more like it to get their O going.

Shouldn't matter. Need to still be able to punch it in, even when everyone in the stadium knows what's coming.

 

[FLCat07]

They got warning earlier in game.

Got it. Missed that. Thanks.

I can hold my breath longer than we can hold onto a 1 point lead. To your point (sort of), I'd be content giving Neb the ball on their 1 against our defense.

Well why would they give the best offensive threat the ball?!?!?

 

[TejasCat]

we seem to blitz right into a lineman each time

 

[phatcat]

3Rd and long :-(

 

[Cookie1966]

Dbs getting exposed today

 

[corbi296]

Dbs getting exposed today

Missed assignments. That was the safety's coverage.

 

[Sheffielder]

That was a really, really awkward Fitz moment with Godwin and McShepard

 

[TejasCat]

overthrown passes and dropped passes saving our defense

 

[SockpuppetCat]

Whom was Fitz yelling at?

 

[pawildcat]

Missed assignments. That was the safety's coverage.

It's not a matter of getting "exposed." They're just not playing too smart at the moment.

 

[SchizoCat1]

Pat Fitzgerald just dropped the F-bomb on national television.

The defense is playing the best they can but they are completely gassed to the offense's inability to stay on the field. Nebraska has run plays 70-31 against us. This is unsustainable. I hope McCall has his resume ready.

 

[FLCat07]

I don't know you sustain on defense when you're on the field for twice as many plays as the other team. Ouch

 

[TejasCat]

wow, didn't throw it away

 

[SchizoCat1]

Yeah, like you said.

 

[corbi296]

Whom was Fitz yelling at?

Godwin.

 

[TejasCat]

why didn't we call timeout and make them kick into wind?

 

[pawildcat]

I don't know you sustain on defense when you're on the field for twice as many plays as the other team. Ouch

Well, it helps when you get off the field on a third and 16 and then don't get called for a sideline interference penalty when you're about to turn over the ball.

 

[The_Waterboy]

Was Ftiz calling for a TO? He was waving his arms like it...

 

[stpaulcat]

What a complete joke! Ten guys in the box! Thorson needed to roll out and complete that great opportunity

We're still ahead...Thank you defense!!

 

[Sheffielder]

why didn't we call timeout and make them kick into wind?

I'm being serious when I say that I bet no one on our sidelines thought of it.

 

[pawildcat]

Jones drops another one. Again puts us behind the sticks.

 

[Sheffielder]

"Thorson's pass is dropped...again by Christian Jones."

It's like the anti-"Justin Jackson the ball carrier."

 

[KnottSlim]

Good god, Jones is horrible

 

[SchizoCat1]

Christian Jones drops another gimme then Jackson for no gain.

 

[SchizoCat1]

Another three and out. Look for Nebraska to score on the next drive, the defense is just gassed.

 

[FLCat07]

At what point to you bench Jones? He's done a lot for the program, but he's hurting the team right now

 

[TejasCat]

dropped passes again and we have no chance on 3rd and long. embarassing

 

[stpaulcat]

We're still ahead...Thank you defense!!

Question now, can the defense hold up, or be the offense again?
