Just assume that special teams will be bad the rest of the season and be surprised when they’re average

2nd longest losing streak in the FBS.  Unless Temple won yesterday.....Made me throw up in my mouth a little.

Assuming you meant UTEP, which they lost by 3 yesterday to North Texas to extend their losing streak to 18 games 

Hard to have swagger when you’ve only won 5 of your last 20 games in my opinion 

Seemed to run tentative since he fumbled on the first drive of the season. Hate to lose depth and find his decision to leave rather bizarre.

As a badger fan perusing the board this week, I assumed the OP was asking why the Badgers have losses. Alas, if only wishing made it so we could avoid those things. To answer the question, I thought I would cover all the Badger losses in the Paul Chryst era in reverse chronological order:

 

2018: BYU 21-24. Ugh. Missed a late FG to tie, but shouldn't have been in that position in the first place

2017: OSU 21-27 (B1G CG). Had the ball in buckeye territory with a chance to win as time was waning, got called for holding on a pass where PI probably should have been called - would have been offsetting and not forced UW to convert a longer down and distance (which, anyone could tell you, is not UW's forte).

2016: PSU 31-38 (B1G CG). Raced out to a huge lead and let McSorely come back and beat us in the end

2016: OSU 20-23 (OT). We had'em, gosh darnit.

2016: @ Michy 7-14. Defensive struggle where Michy had one long pass play to make the difference

2015: NW 7-13. Still mad. Badgers scored to take the lead late, but overturned as refs ruled ball hit ground after three steps out of bounds and WR falling to the ground - he had control, gosh darnit.

2015: Iowa 6-10. Badgers fumbled on the one yard line going in for a score. Hawkeyes run the table, but lose in the B1G CG and Rose Bowl.

2015: Alabama 17-35 (@ Jerryworld, and Chryst's first game). Uh, yeah. Alabama good. UW was in it for awhile, but big plays doomed Bucky that night.

 

That's it. I hadn't realized that Chryst's teams have only lost one true road game so far. So, you guys getting us in Madison is a break! Also hadn't realized they were all one possession games (except 'Bama).

 

So, when it comes to this week's game, I am worried about your offense against our defense - we have not been up to our standards, especially on the perimeter. And I am worried our offense has been its own worst enemy with both the play calling and untimely penalties - we are not a high-scoring offense and I fear we might need to be this week. Anyway, keep your collective chin up, I think better days are ahead for you (yeah, low bar at the moment, but you get what I mean). 

Can you please stay on topic? Mike Riley and Bo Pelini assaulted a chimpanzee, we don’t want to hear about your Badgers 

Please allow us to lube up before you tear us a new one 

WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY

despite the slip that might be Lightbourn's best punt yet....

Who is in for Jackson #6

 Eric Lee

In other news, Northwestern is currently up 17-0 on Michigan 

Glad Riley could give scholarships to the worst two kickers in the country

Oh dear god....

HE JUST HAD TO BRING UP THE BIG 12 CHAMPIONSHIP

Here we go, Kurt Warner's son is going to lead us to glory

Ohio St may beat us by 80

It's ridiculous how dumb we are, also what are we doing on the defensive line.....?

Just now, lo country said:

I just quoted myself to correct.  

To be fair, I didn't think it could get worse either....

When is the last time Lightbourn had a good punt?

I’ll say it.  Hate Conrad is down, but watch the OL play better with Farme4 at center. 

Wrong

ZIGGY

I mean if we're going to have a bunch of Caleb Tannor's manning the defense in the next few years maybe we'll be okay

Michigan clearly has the edge with their defensive line against our O-Line as previously mentioned, but the Michigan O-line is pretty awful and we've been very good at getting pressure. Not sure we win, but we should be able to get in Patterson's face and hopefully force a couple mistakes. If Adrian plays then I think we definitely cover the 18.5 point spread and should be a one possession game. Any given Saturday.

To everyone saying "we won't go 6-6", not what I was implying when I started this thread. Was just pointing out that even the great Nick Saban had a tough first year at Bama and it took some time to establish a new culture. Yes losing sucks but the sun will come out tomorrow. Enjoy the season and watching this team grow, it surely beats the offseason with no games.
