pigskin barnyard mcgiggles Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Riley defenders? What now?HE'S A NICE GUY!!!!!! Riley defenders. "It's the players". "Coaches can't tackle" Quote Link to comment
Saunders Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 At the very least, Riley needs to make massive staff changes. Quote Link to comment
True2tRA Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Keep fighting Blackshirts! This fan base is behind you and the coaches no matter what! We got your back! Haha! sh#t........ Come on man. No one here is against the team. You seem to blame them and give the staff a pass. Come on man, no one here is against the coaches, you seem to blame them and give the staff a pass. I keep the balance. I'll tell you when it's one or the other or both. Players have been in position to win this game and have made too many mistakes and not made enough plays to cover them up. Really...so when has it been on the coaches? The Illinois game. No doubt about it. The rest of the games have been a little bit of both. This one and last week was mostly all players. The tone of the game and mindset of the team is set in the off-season and Sunday-Friday in practice. That is on the coaches to build their culture. 10 months is plenty of time to establish a strong culture. Listen to how Harbaugh did it through tough practices, high expectation, and accountability in the same amount of time Riley has been at Nebraska. The players choose to quit on this team, but the coaches allow them. As a coach, you have to know this. I really think this was a unique situation Riley walked into. I don't think this was a place anybody was going to walk into and just "change the culture". There's some stuff ingrained pretty deeply here. Combine that with the gut wrenching losses to start the season, and I think it went the wrong way quickly. Quote Link to comment
Husker66 Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 These announcers are calling the game from Bristol CT. f'ing hilarious 20 second delay. Shouldnt even be televised they are calling this game from Buffalo wild wings, drinking some cold beer, that is the the command we now have in the world of college football... Quote Link to comment
84HuskerLaw Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Offense was poor. If you have a QB with some reasonable playing experience, perhaps you don't see this awful outcome. This one belongs on the coaches. Riley better man up and take the blame on this. Frankly, I am not sure what he can say but he needs to provide some kind of explanation of the outcome. You cannot blame Quote Link to comment
HuskerInLostWages Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Well at least Purdue is getting back into the positive turnover margin. They are now only -2 on the season. Quote Link to comment
Saz Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 This is the worst coached team I have ever seen. Anyone defending this coach needs to go hide in a hole. We may not have any super stars this year, but for sh#ts sake, this coach is making damn sure there are no stars on this team. To you people blaming depth, any time you have the threat of firing a coach like we have for the last few years it hurts recruiting, and now when you hire a coach that is short on marbles you get the crap fest we get to watch now. Guess I can sit here in ohio and listen to the news talk about JT Barrett and his arrest. Quote Link to comment
MichiganDad3 Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 I want to see what MR has to say in the press conference. Will he cry? Quote Link to comment
lo country Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Riley defenders? What now? I was one and pretty much have admitted that there is no excuse and changes need to be made after this. Drop the pretentious attitude Not being pretentious. Seriously, what now. Don't know how he can be defended. Not gloating. I hate it for him, but more for the team. It sucks. Quote Link to comment
obert1 Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Darling ton or bush time. Get some game experience Quote Link to comment
NebraskaHarry Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Come on man, no one here is against the coaches, you seem to blame them and give the players a pass. I keep the balance. I'll tell you when it's one or the other or both. Players have been in position to win this game and have made too many mistakes and not made enough plays to cover them up. You didn't use this argument the last few years, what gives? Seven years of watching the players be out of position, running the same "pass first" defensive scheme. I tend to expect some changes when things are going the exact same way for seven years. Year one, new staff, they have the right philosphy and players have been in position to make plays. Tackling has improved. We are still just insanely inconsistent. It's easily there for the taking if the players just step up. It's not nearly as often you see the defenders not in position to make the play. 49 points to Purdue and you keep defending the coaches? Quote Link to comment
VectorVictor Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Riley defenders? What now? I'm sure whatever it is, it will involve putting one's head in the sand while singing kumbaya and imagining how this s***show staff would get us to 15-0 next season if we "just give them time".

alexhortdog95 Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Lemme get this right.... No DPE... No TA... Westy hurt.... Newby hurt... And Langsdorf still deciding to let Fyfe throw it 50 times today? 1 Quote Link to comment
Saunders Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 triple tip pick off. We're cursed. I can't take it anymore. Does anyone posting here have clue? If you throw a pass way behind the receiver, bad things happen. It doesn't mean you are cursed, it means you can't throw accurately, which is a function of coaching, talent, effort, and practice. You need a sarcasm meter bruh. Quote Link to comment
Branno Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 49-31 to Purdue. What else needs to be said? Go out and party tonight. The world is going to end. Purdue blows out Nebraska and scores 50 points. That is a sign of the apocalypse. Nope. This is the new normal. Quote Link to comment
