BIGREDIOWAN Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 This was the worst offensive performance we've seen all year, period. Between the mistakes and lack of productivity when we should've been up HUGE it is what it is. Defensively and special teams wise? Pretty damn good, two busted plays lead to 14 points on defense and you can't ask for the special teams to play too much better other than the missed field goal opportunity and one decent return by Purdue.

So you're telling me we couldn't muster more than 300 yards even after those first three drives (which are included in the total yard count) which happened in the first 8 minutes of the 1st Quarter?

Landlord Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 So you're telling me we couldn't muster more than 300 yards even after those first three drives (which are included in the total yard count) which happened in the first 8 minutes of the 1st Quarter? The point is that if we don't get a block and big returns then there are a lot more yards in front of our offense that they may or may not have gained. If we score on all of the same drives but start the drives that we had that started at the 7, 16, and 17 yard lines at midfield, then we might have gained a notably higher amount of yards. At the end of the day, yards are meaningless. Points matter and we scored 35 points and it was ugly and far from our best game but we are going to win most games that we score 35 points.

Well I guess those 5 punts and 4 turnovers were okay then. Nevermind guys, I'm wrong, we scored 35 points. Quote Link to comment
Landlord Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Well I guess those 5 punts and 4 turnovers were okay then. Nevermind guys, I'm wrong, we scored 35 points. Do you know what a false dichotomy is because you are framing one. Of course turnovers and lack of efficiency aren't okay - the coaches are telling the players that, the players are telling the media and each other that, and the fans are saying the same thing. There is middle ground between 'we suck' and 'this is totally okay'. Quote Link to comment
Norhusker Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 I learned if we made mistakes like this last year with those turnovers and missed scoring opportunities, then we would likely lose. This year with our improved defense and special teams our chances of still winning are much better. Even with our one lost to Michigan State, the defense and special teams kept us in the game until the end. So far we haven't lost a game we shouldn't have like in previous years. That is a definite mark of improvement so far....... We are like an improved version of the 2009 squad. Great defense and a much better ( Not great) offense. We can win the west, but none of the remaining games will be a gimme especially against our nemesis Wisconsin. Not after seeing what the offense did against a mediocre Purdue defense. The self inflicted mistakes never seem to go away especially the last few games. Quote Link to comment

(looks to everybody else in thread and whispers) Our offense was atrocious today. 1 Quote Link to comment
Danimal Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 "Well, three things I know for sure ... "It's the receiver's fault when I throw the ball poorly. "It's beck's fault when I throw into coverage, especially when I know we should be playing conservatively. "It's the center's fault when I drop the snap." --- Tommy Armstrong Funny how you quote things that were literally not actually said. Tommy's more of a point the thumb guy than any of us. He knows as well as anyone how bad he and the whole offense played today. Funny how you don't understand the point of the post. Oh, yeah on those replays, when Tommy threw an interception, into coverage or fumbled the snap, he was definitely pointing the finger at himself and not yelling at other players. Yes, you are definitely right. During interviews TA does point the thumb and acknowledge mistakes, but during games he grips and acts like everyone else should've done something differently.

The self inflicted mistakes never seem to go away especially the last few games. I agree a lot with this. We won and are 8-1 so that is the big positive. In the past we would find ways to lose these type of games. I do watch a lot of other games and I am sure their fans are as crazy as us. Miss St. #1? Arkansas is terrible but almost takes you on your home turf? Georgia? What was that? This year I still don't see a dominant team so it really comes down to who is best prepared and who makes the plays ("executes"). If we execute we can compete. What concerns me is that today we played sloppy and if we play like this we are doomed for a couple losses in November. The whole we have to run it straight at them down near the goal line does not work unless you have a dominant OL. Sure do this when your OL is awesome...but we don't have that so thought that play calling was stupid and ultimately Ameer got hurt. We are best when we can move it both on the ground and through the air. Diamond formation always works yet we use it rarely. Kenny Bell...1 catch for 5 yards? We have to be better than that. Tommy had a bad game and will be interesting to see how he bounces back. Defense was ok today. We still have a lot of difficulty on sweeps and when the QB has a designed roll-out. We don't know how to defend this if QB is running or throwing. These are two essential defensive schemes we must improve or Wiscy will beat us badly. Great that we got to 8-1. The next game will tell me all I need to know about this team. We better be hungry. I know I am. Quote Link to comment
Atbone95 Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 I learned that I tried to bash Tim Beck's play-calling midway through the 1st quarter and was told I needed to "simmer" and "step down from the ledge". Still want to say so? He is God awful. Also - learned that the fact that I'm paying for my college is ridiculous. Put me on scholarship coach, I know how to drop a ball too. Quote Link to comment
Bball1091 Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Our offense played awful tonight...there really isn't an argument against that..we should all just move on and maybe find some creative posts to keep us busy during the bye week that don't involve the same old topics (i.e. need a new QB, need a new OC, SEC bias, etc.) that have been debated for weeks Quote Link to comment
hskrfan4life Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 That I will never understand why we have issues scoring from the 1 yard line. The one time we did a QB sneak it was stopped because they knew we would do it. No reason we should score from the 1 yard line, on the first play. Quote Link to comment
