  1. Seen great 4 - 3 defenses and great 3 - 4 defenses throughout my time watching college and pro football (since '82) so I don't think either is really better than the other.  What makes either great is having great players and a great coordinator, right now, we know we don't have the former and the later is still to be determined (need the great players).

    A good portion of Martinez's issues very well could have been because the WR position was all screwed up as indicated in the OP.

     

    The WR issue along with the offensive line woes in the first half were part of it, but something also was not right with Martinez all season.  Watch all of those bad passes, his indecisiveness, his inability to throw the ball away and looked much slower and not too good running the option (most of the time), lots wrong compared to last season.

    L - 9/5 Purdue

    W - 9/12 Central Michigan 

    W - 9/19 South Dakota State

    L - 9/26 Cincinnati 

    T - 10/3 @ Northwestern 

    T - 10/10 Illinois

    10/17 IDLE

    W - 10/24 @ Rutgers

    L - 10/31 @ Ohio State

    L - 11/7 Penn State

    L - 11/14 @ Iowa

    L - 11/21 @ Wisconsin 

    L - 11/27 Minnesota

     

    We are looking at anything between 3 - 9 and 5 - 7 (the two T's are tossups).  

     

    The offense will be better especially due to the better offensive line play that we saw at the end of this season.  The defense will likely regress due to the loss of experience (not too much of a loss in the talent area).  

     

    Now, looking forward a few more seasons:  The offense and defense will be a LOT better as the starters will have experience (being juniors and seniors) to go along with their talent.  Yes, we are still looking at two to three more seasons to really winning division or conference titles.  I hope it is sooner but I just don't see it turning around as quickly as many of us want.

    Since it's unfortunately offseason too early, here is another walk down memory lane comparing 2018 to 2019.  I guess 5 wins is better than 4 (thanks JoJo), but Heady from the WH, breaks down some really poor statistics....  Looks like we really missed Stan, Oz, Farmer and Foster.  And real shocker, a kicker....Some really bad stats that explain a lot are here:

     

    From 2018 to 2019, NU gained fewer first downs, ran for fewer yards, threw for fewer yards, gained fewer yards per rush, gained fewer total yards, scored fewer touchdowns, scored fewer total points, made fewer field goals, gave up touchdowns more often in the red zone, scored less in the red zone, gave up more kickoff return yards and touchdowns and broke up fewer passes.

    Some of that change was drastic, like the 17.8-percentage point decrease in field goal percentage or the 14-percentage point decrease in red zone scores or the 11 fewer pass breakups.

     

    Other stats were almost identical....No where to go but up I guess....

    And against an easier schedule.  Next season is going to be brutal.

  5. Adrian had so many issues this season I just don't believe he can ever come back. 

     

    - He looked slow, perhaps from being overweight 

    - His throwing ability has looked really bad this season; how many overthrown balls or underthrown balls did he have this season?  

    - He was indecisive, never looked to more than one receiver when another receiver would be wide open, would never throw the ball away when a play would break down (wish someone had stats on how many yards he lost and drives he killed due to not throwing the ball away). 

     

    Unless there is some kind of miracle, I just don't see him improving.  

     

    As for the defense, we are losing nearly the entire starting D!  Even though they were Riley players, who is going to replace them?  This is why Frost and Co. are s#!tting bricks and grabbing so many Juco's right now.  I think we actually digress in the defensive aspect next season especially due to a much tougher schedule.  

     

    Hope I'm wrong, will be rooting for us to win every game as always!

    The coaches are growing frustrated with AM's mental aspect of the game.  You can't take yesterday's game or this year as a whole to say if there will or will not be a competition for next year.  If McCaffrey can make a jump physically and throwing the ball, he may make up the ground on Martinez necessary to win the job.

    One can only hope, but I am not too hopeful.  

  7. We are experts at giving games away, even with the refs trying their damndest to help us as much as possible.  

    Martinez sucks more than he doesn't and Luke had a better game than he did with only one pass attempt.  

    Offensive line looks good and will be a strength next season.  

    Mills is a man, reminds me of Oz at the end of last season.  

    Frost needs to stop being cute with his play calling, just go with what is working.  

    The defense was very good except for the first quarter when they were absolutely terrible.  Likely going to be a weak spot next season even though we lose the Riley players.  Holding Stanley to under 50% completion percentage (drops didn't help him at all) and under 100 yards passing is pretty sweet.

  8. So sick of moral "victories".  

     

    If special teams doesn't give up that TD, we win.  

    If the defense doesn't give up the long run, we win.  

    If Martinez doesn't throw so many s#!tty passes, we win.  

    If Frost doesn't call so many passes in the flat and bubble screens and stick with Martinez, we win. 

     

    It was a total team effort to lose that game.
