Packerhuskerfan Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 Just now, Undone said: These games wind up really skewing your perception of the team. Our defense is doing just fine. "Good," probably. We have an overall good team and good coaching but we don't have a QB at all. This has to be the worst QB play in basically the modern era for our team. It is hard to say they are a good team when the offense is historically bad. We don't have QBs that can throw accurately consistently and make good decisions. Our WRs and TEs have bricks for hands and can't run block. Our o-line isn't very good. The playcalling is suspect. Quote Link to comment

Add some WR too Quote Link to comment
HuskersNC949597 Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 Sims managed to not run the wrong direction or fumble a perfect snap, but still. . .turned it over. Somebody needs to find some kind of cocktail of ADHD meds and narcotics to get a QB to quit pressing/overthinking/being a moron, whatever is going on in their tin can heads. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 We're lucky to be down seven. 4 Quote Link to comment
olddominionhusker Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 The pick was bad but Sims is running the offense better. The only chance we have to win going forward this year is starting him. He got some nice throws into tight coverage that last drive. At least teams have to think about him passing. And we don’t lose anything in the run game with him. I think with first team reps he will give us our best chance 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Our stats this year are a shell of Frost's offensive production so I think your first statement is a bit loaded, right? 1 Quote Link to comment
Micheal Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 Okay only down by 7 points. Start with the ball 2nd half. Go get some Husker points. Blackshirts have White who hopefully makes the adjustments to clamp down on the Maryland passing game. Go Big Red! Quote Link to comment
PaulCrewe Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 I am honestly impressed that there are two teams(even in the same conference division) setting back offensive element of the game of football 75 years. Quote Link to comment

Maybe Harbaugh has an idea from the sign stealing how he does. Maybe off season sit down? Quote Link to comment
The Duke Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 Rhule pretty much hinted at halftime Sims would be the guy starting the 2nd half. Whatever running game / read-option offense Nebraska was cooking up at the beginning of the year, we need to see it show up in the 2nd half. OFFENSE Run the ball. Embrace the challenge of only running it. (This game is won or lost through the O-line, Emmett Johnson, and Sims running ability) Keep Maryland's offense off the field. If we do pass, the flats and seams were open. DEFENSE Keep doing what you're doing. Maryland had 0 rushing yards, and 186 yards all through the air. The stunts on the line are working. Be willing to send 5 on third and long, and trust your coverage. Quote Link to comment
Wistrom Disciple Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 Although I didn’t like the risk Sims took, especially throwing while on his heels… was the INT catchable if Coleman didn’t slow up on the route and stretch his arms out? Seemed to me like he was surprised the ball was in the area. Doesn’t take blame away from Sims for risking it, but our receivers need to help our QBs out. Ugh Quote Link to comment

He's shown no ability to finish drives. This is not a call for Haarberg to return, though. I'd rather see Purdy if Sims either makes more mind-numbingly stupid mistakes or gets his ankle dinged again. Quote Link to comment
HuskerInLostWages Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 Peacocks halftime report might be the worst I have ever watched, this is painful, like watching Nebraska play offense type terrible. Quote Link to comment

Would love to see 2 back sets and actually run plays using both. 1 Quote Link to comment

The Sims pick happens to all QBs at some point. The HH picks were flat out thrown to opposing players no where near a receiver. Coleman could’ve prevented that pick. Totally different then the Haarberg throws 1 Quote Link to comment
