Second half thread

[Mr. Stupor]

Fitz has no trust in Thorson. None.

On the bright side, at least he didn't think the end of the 3rd quarter was the end of the second quarter and call a timeout for no reason....

 

[Deeringfish]

Mitchell really is un reliable

 

[Cookie1966]

****in kid has missed 4 of his last 6 fg"s

 

[slider2cc]

We are playing not to lose. Never ends well.

 

[Alvious]

How many points are we going to leave on the field (goal)?

 

[Katatonic]

Oh well - same 'ol, same 'ol.

 

[Cookie1966]

Our WRs can't get separation deep, so who's he supposed to throw to?

Roberts has 4.3 speed he can run past any db

 

[Cookie1966]

Wow. At least badgers at least try going deep

 

[Seattle_Cat]

Hold on a fair catch?

 

[Deeringfish]

That was a pay back penalty but I'll take it.

 

[Jonny2TheP]

Well, the punt return called back was admittedly a horrific call. I won't defend that call in any way, and we were incredibly lucky. At the same time, I'd be shocked if the calls don't consistently go against us the rest of the way because of it.

 

[Mr. Stupor]

another 4 yrad pass

oops. I'm a couple minutes behind...

 

[Deeringfish]

Roberts has 4.3 speed he can run past any db

Too short and can get held up in his routes. I don't think he has the hands for a speed catch.

 

[pymvpymv]

How on earth are we only up 3

YUP

 

[Katatonic]

Has Thorson ever completed a throw outside the pocket?

Maybe, but I can remember any of late.

Our WRs can't get separation deep, so who's he supposed to throw to?

You don't think that was more of a problem last season?

Thing is, Thorson is not yet able to use his legs to set up the pass and buy time for his receivers.

 

[TejasCat]

If we go 3 and out here with a 30 yard punt .....

 

[SIUCatfan]

Need a 12 -minute 78-yard drive.

 

[Mr. Stupor]

How many points are we going to leave on the field (goal)?

Not as many as we leave by not trusting our players to make plays...

 

[TejasCat]

Fitz thinks the D can hold them to 10

 

[Alvious]

This is painful.

 

[Cookie1966]

Double coverage again

 

[Deeringfish]

YUP

 

[beetlemania74]

This isn't a track meet. No one is open down field.

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

They are playing tight man! Long ball em or do a halfback pass

 

[Deeringfish]

WE have no offense . the D will have to score if we need more points. If I were on the D I'd be totally pissed.

 

[Seattle_Cat]

Defense will have to win it for us

 

[pymvpymv]

I'm dying here

 

[Deeringfish]

They are playing tight man! Long ball em or do a halfback pass

The Line can't hold back the rush for a long ball and our receivers are too slow.

 

[willycat]

How on earth are we only up 3

It's called coaching.

Are you beginning to understand why? And why we don't run many slant patterns?

 

[Mr. Stupor]

Our WRs can't get separation deep, so who's he supposed to throw to?

They're in a simple ZONE defense. There are places to get open. Our offense just sucks, so we fail against basic zone defenses.

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Well said Kataranic! Thorson needs to roll out a bit

 

[Katatonic]

Aside from JJ and the O-line sometimes opening up a hole - basically nothing else from the O.

Well said Kataranic! Thorson needs to roll out a bit

That's not what I was suggesting.

 

[Mr. Stupor]

This offense is KILLING US.

 

[TejasCat]

my wife has correctly called run or pass 95% of this game

 

[Seattle_Cat]

Defense slowing down?

 

[Seattle_Cat]

D might win it after all

 

[LansingCat]

Great Ball Hawking

 

[Deeringfish]

WE have the best D and worse O in the B1G.

 

[Alvious]

Too bad he couldn't have picked it up and ran with it. Only way we'll score.
