***Official Wisconsin Game Discussion Thread***

I don't agree with the argument that you can't let the refs decide the game. When you have two equal football teams playing, the refs have to be at least decent or you swing the game. Can't get around that fact.

if we get the call it's first and goal at the 3 or 4, definitely made a big difference in the game

evel knievel is nothing short of awful, he cost us all night.

Offense was horrible. DEf did their jobs. Tired of having poor off cordinators. WHy is it so hard to see that they stopped us running up the middle...so in OT try the middle

The second run play was outside, Newby went down with an arm tackle.

No

I concur. NO

I get the 50/50 calls. If it's close, let it go in that situation.

But the damn guy stopped his route and didn't even allow him a chance to catch the ball. How in the hell do you justify that as a no call with the game on the line? 99.99999% of the time that's pass interference. We just happened to get those inept jackasses that had no clue what they were looking at.

This. That wasn't an iffy or judgement call. That was a tackle. We got screwed.

PI? Where was that, they had us covered like a glove and the first time Tommy threw it to no one.

Face it , we lost.

Right in front of the back judge. When Westercamp got knocked down, while the ball was in the air towards him.

Just like the announcer said.

 

[BigWillie]

And can we please stop with this "don't leave it up to the refs" crap? The refs job is exactly to make calls, not be statues on the field.

Cost the game. Plain and simple.

 

[marko polo]

quit cryin about the calls we had plenty of other opportunities, like stopping them on D on the last drive!

 

[HuskerInLostWages]

Wish Brown would have at least been given a chance at the end. Instead we YOLObomb it.

Even if the ball is not in the air, isn't it a penalty to hit the receiver if he is more than 5 yards down field?

 

[3rd and long]

Why is it Wisconsin always has one damn play we can't stop? And they burn us it with it over and over.

 

[cm husker]

Should have ran Tommy at least once. He's money on the ground in those situations.

Refs are awful. Bo would of got an unsportsmanlike call.

But a big game big time QB makes that throw to Morgan

Morgan ran at least three poor routes in the 4th and OT.

Some of the plays tonight remind me why I hate the type of O. TA made the right read but ended up in bad situations (like on the one on one throw that I'm sure people will classify as a YOLO but was actually the proper throw based on the coverage).

 

[huskerfan74]

I f'ing hate Wisconsin. No matter what we do they always have the refs, god, Buddha, and you name it helping them win no matter what they do. The refs raped us in OT but I blame langsdorf for not having the balls to go for the win at the end of the game.

 

[Ggodd002]

In the end dissapointed but not surprised. Fully expect a lose next week..BUT..we could win remaining games and have only 2 loses at end of season. That is huge improvement. I will take that!!

Yep
