Yes we do and TBH it won't make that big of difference with Raiola. But with other QBs, most definitely. Quote Link to comment

A guy with 6 catches for 237 yards on the year is exactly the same kind of receiving threat as a guy with 71 catches for 1,043 yards. Quote Link to comment

His play was atrocious even just outside of stats when he suited up for the Huskers. After seeing all three qb's turn the wrong way on handoffs and fakes, I don't think it was entirely just the qb. 3 Quote Link to comment

Huh, guess that stat you threw out about having a WR leading in 50+ yard TDs wasn't particularly relevant to the discussion about our QBs after all, then. 2 Quote Link to comment

At this point we might want to accept that stats offer conclusive proof of pretty much nothing. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
macroboy Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 What is the saying? There’s lies, damn lies, and then there’s statistics. The other one I like is ‘if we torture the numbers long enough, they will tell us anything we want.’ Stats without context are nonsense. 3 Quote Link to comment

Now I know we were very limited with what he could call last season but now that we have people in place we should be a lot better baring any injuries to the offense. Yes it will take time to gel but please don't call a play to throw a pass on third and short just run the damn ball. Every football team I've ever watched has at some point, thrown the ball on 3rd and short. Like it or not, throwing on 3rd down, even 3rd and short, is a thing. A team can screw up on 3rd and short when running or passing the ball. Crap happens sometimes. 2 1 3 Quote Link to comment

Similar to Herbert and the Chargers who had same surgery. SLAP tears suck, I know, I had one and my shoulder has never been the same since. Quote Link to comment

True but we all have seen what happened during the Superbowl with the Seahawks and Patriots where they didn't hand off the ball to Marshawn Lynch. Im just saying that Nebraska coaches have tended to over think things in key situations. It's like yesterday we all know the Bills should have punted the ball on 4th and 5 in their own territory but they decided to fake it and that almost put them down by 10. If Hardman didn't reach for the end zone to try to score they would have scored on the next play or so. I understand your trying to take the ball out of Mahomes hands but that was a dumb decision. 1 Quote Link to comment

Why should they have punted?

It was first and goal. Get tackled at the 1, and allow Mahomes and Co to have a couple more chances at the end zone. The only time someone should reach like that while getting tackled in traffic is fourth down or with little/no time left. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment

I'll never fault someone for the kind of effort Hardman put forth regardless of the outcome of said effort. You and I know you give the best player on your team the chance to win the game. Lynch was robbed of that opportunity. Yes the defense could have stopped him but there wouldn't be any second guessing. You don't try and give the other team who was clearly clicking on offense at the time the opportunity to put more points on to you a short field to work with. You let them earn the right to beat you not giving them more chances to pull away from you. If the Chiefs would have scored on the play the Bills would have been down by 10 with little time let. Yes Josh Allen is a stud of a qb but clearly the Chiefs defense showed up and came up big for them. When Scott Frost was the coach and went for the fake punt against Northwestern and got stopped nobody patted him on the back and said nice try. Everyone questioned his judgement of the play call and his lack of judgement on critical times of being a head coach here got him losses which ultimately cost him. 3 Quote Link to comment

Keen-eyed fans noticed it was an onside kick, not a fake punt, coming after a touchdown that had given Nebraska momentum. I'm not sure getting fired added to Scott Frost losing. Probably the other way around. 1 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Yeah you get the my point with making stupid decisions during key parts within the game and I should have said that bc of his lack of judgement contributed to the losses which ultimately got him fired. But you said it perfectly thank you. Quote Link to comment
