NoLongerN Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Ozigbo had three catches ... but not one run ... FAIL. Quote Link to comment
True2tRA Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Where the hell do you people just realize that if we just execute, things usually go our way! If we don't have the players to execute, then we need to get them...This is something Bo Pelini would say... And then True would lambast him for it. Haha! Yep you guys are right and it is funny. Key difference here though and I know most of you won't get it or even care to read this, but the big difference is that I supported Bo for about the first 5 years. Hell, f#*k that, I even supported Bo in his final year when he swore he had seen the light and some changes were coming. 7 years in, we watched the same team do the same stuff in the same schemes. If you can't respect the difference there, then piss off and quit talking to me. 1 Quote Link to comment
Dansker Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Wow Ryker nearly threw it 50 times for 400+ yards... and we lose 55-45. Riley = Bill Callahan 2. 1 Quote Link to comment
Thanks_Tom RR 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. Good lord right!? It's either bad coaching or we're cursed!? Where the hell do you people just realize that if we just execute, things usually go our way! If we don't have the players to execute, then we need to get them and we can hardly hold Riley and his staff accountable for not having the guys capable of executing right now. How the hell could that be their fault? We've been inconsistent for years now! It is all mental right now. Players are culpable for their actions and mindset. Coaches are too. Charlie Strong came into a distinct but equally toxic atmosphere in Texas. He started the change in culture during the off-season by making the team accountable for their actions (lots of players dismissed). The play suffered from the talent loss, so mid-season, Charlie has incorporated more power football. It is a lot easier to buy in as a player when you know there are consequences to your actions (Team comes first) and that you will have an opportunity to run the ball down the opponents throat on Saturdays. Accountability + Power Football, that is the recipe for a strong football culture. Yeah, and that is where I find the coaches responsible and if you've read my comments on this board, you've seen it. I get in these discussions here with stupid people and I find myself defending the coaches constantly with the on field stuff, but this accountability and personnel area of the team is one are I am baffled by the decisions. I totally agree with your Charlie Strong reference and this catering to the athlete mentality needs to disappear here as well. These guys need an awakening, but how will they ever wake up if they don't feel like their position on the team is ever in jeapordy. I totally get it. Then you have to put yourself in the shoes of the coach. If you're a coach, you're responsibility is to put the best product you can on the field. So if there is such a drastic drop off to that next level then you're in a tough spot. Do you allow the team as a whole to suffer and fail because you've put an even worse player in the game? I mean, we have to remember, these decisions affect everyone. Not just the player that doesn't seem to give a crap. The whole team suffers. I think we are indeed in a rebuild mode and I think there needs to be some cleansing of this program. I get you, but hopefully, the play today is not the best product this team can produce. If so, play the back-ups anyway. If your starters are the only physical talents that can get you wins, you have to show them they need to bring it mentally as well or they will be replaced. Your losing the games anyway. Might as well lose the game while winning the team. Feel me? Quote Link to comment

84HuskerLaw Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Bottom line is clearly: the defense can't stop anybody! Clearly, it is not debatable. The worst offense in the conference one of poorer offenses in the Nation just put up 55 points and bunch of yards (457). Quote Link to comment
c. lassiter Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 We scored 29 4th quarter points, so please don't even try to the "we quit" story. Sometimes when you lose some close ones it's very hard to keep the players motivated and enthusiastic. It's not just riley finding this difficult, it happens to guys like John Harbaugh. I'm guessing the Husker faithful would want to fire him too. Quote Link to comment

I wanted Bo gone after years 5 and 6, but when he came out in the spring game with the cat, and started the 2014 season with 5 wins, he had me fooled into believing again. Football teaches great life lessons. It is easy to believe something when you want to believe it. Quote Link to comment

If it was bad for Bo, it has to be bad for Riley too. Not sure how much to put on Coach Riley and his staff yet. Watching the games, the players are there, they are in position to succeed. They are not executing and they are not making plays. Too many experts here throwing the coaches under the bus and not even talking about the players. A defensive back watches the WR catch the ball and then misses the tackle, and tha'ts the coaches fault? Ryker throws a pick on a horrible pass and the first and following comments here are about Langsdorf? Gimme a break guys, these players are really doing a poor job this year. Period. It's all about how much ownership you think Riley and his staff have in this team and right now, I seriously question how much this is "their team". Quote Link to comment

The fact that you can't find any blame on the coaches acceptable in possibly the worst season in Nebraska history is laughable. I mean, Jesus our play calling is like some 12 year old playing Madden for the first time. I think a blind person pointing randomly at a playbook could call a better game. But no, you're right this is all Bo's and the players fault. Riley is completely f'ing blameless. 2 Quote Link to comment
