but Knapp, I am in the mood to make him look like an idiot. It will make me feel better and shouldn't be that difficult. Whenever you're ready, lets do this. In all honesty, I don't have a favorite team, but I do root for whoever is playing the Huskers. Cy the Cyclone said it best a week or so ago before the ISU/NU game. Nebraska fans CONTINUOUSLY over-estimate themselves, their football program, their coach, etc. etc. while under-estimating their opponent and believing (REALLY BELIEVING) that its football team is a nationally relevant team. It's not. Be realistic. The best example is the office pool here at work every Saturday. I was the ONLY one who picked Nebraska to lose. Every other brain-washed Husker lover in my office picked Nebraska...and picked them by 2-3 touchdowns. All I'm here for is to help ground some people and pull them back down to earth. With the upcoming schedule and Nebraska's undoubtedly promising future, I'll be here for awhile. You know, this post really tells us you have a real team. Nobody gets into football enough to go to a football based board and post without having a rooting interest. And most don't say they root for whoever a certain team plays, unless they root for that team's rival. Case in point. I am a Jets fan (hiring Billy C. made rethink that, but I'll admit he's a good assistant). The two teams I root for are the Jets, and whoever's playing the Patriots. Missouri fan, no doubt. You're just too chicken sh-- to say it, because you know if you admit it, then you'll realize you look like a dumba--, since your team hasn't won since September.

I'm pretty sure you can catch a ball while down (unless you went out of bounds), you just can't advance the ball (for obvious reasons). That was just excellent heads-up play. But yeah, I saw some bad officiating this weekend all around (USC game, anyone? That horrible face mask that tore the receiver's helmet off right in front of the official?). It's strange how there have been so many hyper-reactive calls there have been (Suh's hand coming down on the top of the QB's helmet) and how many dangerous/reckless moves have been overlooked (Robinson, I think, being tackled by his headgear). And, no, not just against the huskers, but all teams (our players have 'gotten away' with a lot, too). Maybe this isn't due so much to officiating but how many angles there are and how much detail there is in modern broadcasting. We see a lot more than we used to and with greater clarity (and I was able to rewind to the non-replayed helmet tackle of Robinson during the next commercial to watch it a couple of times to see that it really looked like he was grabbed by the back of his helmet or earhole and pulled down... he didn't wrap his head up, he grabbed his helmet). A few years ago, that wouldn't have been so easy to see, wider angle views, maybe no camera at that vantage point, and HD all factor into what we're seeing. So maybe there aren't more fish, the holes in our netting have just gotten a lot smaller. I know that. He advanced the ball 16 yards after catching it...

And who, pray tell, do you root for, to think that Nebraska doesn't have a great defense? Some bandwagon team? Not likely. The angst you have in your posts sounds more like a Colorado or Mizzou fan. Haha. How are their defenses holding up? Hell Mizzou gave up 27 points to arguably the worst offense Nebraska has had in over 40 years.

To be honest, Saturday was the first well officiated game I've seen all season (out of all games, not just Nebraska games). The only questionable call I saw was on the ping pong ball interception, it appeared the Iowa State defender's knee was down when he got ahold of the ball. Even that though was bang bang, and not entirely conclusive. Of course the rest of the season it's been ridiculously bad.

You must be listening to the games, because when I watch the games I see Lee afraid to make a play, always going to his checkdown receiver, who is always within 5 yards of the LOS, usually behind it. I see QB who doesn't step up into the pocket. I see open receivers who he routinely fails to see, at least I hope he doesn't see them, because if he's not throwing it to them after seeing them, then that's worse. I see almost every pass he has past 5 yards being high or behind his receiver. I've said it before, I'm a more accurate passer beyond 5 yards, and I haven't played QB since 4th grade recess. I see a QB who doesn't have command of his offense, who doesn't provide the fire when needed. He lacks moxie, and that "it" factor. There's more to playing QB than completing swing passes all the time. Anyone who watches Lee and thinks he's a good QB, well I really question their football knowledge. He may be the best QB we have for Watson's dink and dunk crap, but that's because Watson has taken all the gunslinger out of him. It seems Cody has some of that in him. He may force some throws and have some interceptions, but I'm much more willing to put up with a QB who is trying to make plays and doesn't as opposed to a QB who doesn't even try to make plays and just checks down to his RB. I wonder if everyone supporting Lee was on Keller's side in 2007, because we all know how that turned out. This seems like an almost identical situation. I just hope it doesn't take an injury for Cody to see the field, because I don't want Lee to be injured.

Double post.

Then get Kinnie more playing time. Cooper and Bell maybe?

I don't understand how anyone, Knapplc, can act like Lee isn't part of the problem. People say others have a stiffy for Green, at least there's the hope of change there. Having a stiffy for Lee makes zero sense. I just wonder how many games you've watched if you think that Lee is playing well enough to silence doubts about his play. He makes poor decisions, throws poorly on the run and/or further than 5 yards, has poor pocket presence, and routinely fails to take open running lanes when nothing is open (or he refuses to hit an open tight end). I can understand sticking up for a guy, but saying he isn't the problem at all is ridiculous. I'm sorry but I must have been dreaming when I saw Cody Green come in and have better command of the offense last week. Errant throws included, he couldn't have made this game worse. Our offense is lethargic and needs a spark. He seemed to provide that last week, since you know Lee produced 0 TDs in 3 quarters and Green produced 1 in 1 quarter. If the coaches ever decide to give Green a chance when it actually means something, I'll be glad to tell you "We told you so."

Which is ridiculous. The fans write his paycheck. I'm sure if fans stopped going to games and he got fired, he would care. In no way am I condoning not going to games. I'm just saying that's a piss poor attitude to have.

Did I say that? I'm not saying it's his fault for the drops, but he sure doesn't help his receivers by throwing it behind them most of the time. And if Watson is going to be calling the stupid zone reads, why not put in Green and add a running threat. From what we've seen, Green has better pocket presence, and better running ability. That in and of itself would be reason enough for me to have Green play. Lee is a big part of the problem. If you can't see that, I'm sorry, but don't try to say he isn't a problem, when it's clearly evident he has issues.

Both Keller and Lee were supposed to be gunslingers, and neither of them had the cajones to throw it downfield. That smells like bad coaching from Watson to me.

Yeah if you consider all but one pass beyond five yards being off target and setting his receivers up to get their heads taken off as playing well. I love ya Bo, but you gotta admit when you're making the wrong decision. There is absolutely NO REASON Cody Green shouldn't have played in this game. Zac Lee isn't the only problem, but he is a big one. EVERY PASS THAT GOES PAST 5 YARDS IS OFF TARGET! I think everyone in Nebraska knows who that resembles. Sam Keller. I'm of the opinion that Niles Paul should be riding the bench, and Roy Helu shouldn't even be playing because he's obviously not well. It just irritates the hell out of me that Bo and Shawn just think "oh we should stay the course". If they're satisfied with scoring one touchdown a game, if that, then they don't have the desire and fire to succeed like I thought. Is it any coincidence that our two most pitiful units, Quarterbacks and Wide Receivers, are coached by Shawn Watson and Ted Gilmore, both ex-Colorado coaches, and both the only coaches left from Callahan's staff? Of course if the Wide Receivers actually had passes that were on target they'd be a little easier to catch. And the Zone Read that Watson calls is the most ridiculous thing. It's like he thinks Cody Green is actually playing, because it's obvious Zac Lee isn't going to keep it and get more than 2 yards. If Cody Green were playing, how much worse could it get. He may have turnovers, but we're already doing that, so there's no change. He can make plays with his feet, and knows how to step up in the pocket, and fire passes downfield. Zac Lee averaged 6.7 yards per attempt, which is pitiful considering he had a 72 yard pass. Take that out and he averaged 4.9 yards per attempt. 4.9!!!!!!!! When you constantly have to reach behind you to catch a ball, that's on the quarterback. Sure the receivers should catch a few of them, but it'd be nice if more than one was on target. I'm a more accurate passer and I haven't played quarterback since 4th grade recess!

He said personnel changes, not coaching changes. HUGE DIFFERENCE!

Ding, ding, ding, ding. I've been thinking this all year. His playing style, his attitude with the media, pretty much everything about him reminds me of Sam Keller. We all remember what happened when our backup came in for Keller right? Who knows, at least with Green we're working towards something. With Lee it seems we're just sitting still.

What the heck? We had 2 turnovers. The fumble and Cody Green's interception.

If anyone missed it, it's on the ESPN homepage right now.

or maybe Suh's brother will accidentally crash his car and then take it to the school and make it look like Texas Tech players did it. They can cover it with Anti-Husker graffiti and have it say 'From Potts and Sheffield' Aloha Mr. Hand.

2nd and tied with Tebow for percentage!

How about developing the ones we already have? Don't give up on this season already. oh i'm not by any means. but when you are recruiting you try to improve your team, and right now that is what the team is lacking Yeah..I didn't really think you were..It's just that new recruits won't get here soon enough to help out this year's team... We do need to recruit WR's with really big hands, though. I've got a 10.25" wingspan I remember an assistant coach coming back from a coaching clinic telling us that the best way to improve catching ability was to develop finger strength..and the way they were thinking of doing that was to have you grab a full page of a newspaper by the corner..one in each hand with your thumb and index finger...Then wad each up as fast as you can each page in a separate hand..repeat until you've gone through the Sunday paper...hurts, but it gave me "Popeye forearms" and I've never dropped a pass..(almost). Holy crap you have short arms.
