*** Official Northwestern Game Thread ***

[Terrabus]

I am truly stunned.  We are all told about how the games are not over until the final whistle but c'mon!  This game was won and it should have been won at the end.  

 

I'm not sure blaming the coaches for everything is right, either.  This team doesn't have depth, and that shows up in the 4th Quarter every time.  OT is just worse.

Refs hate Nebraska. They don't call a roughing the passer when Martinez slides, but they call that in the end zone? Some ticky tacky PI calls as well.

I’m done I can’t watch anymore football this year. Scott is a horrible play caller. What a way to s#!t the bed 

Is your quarterback chair comfy?

[BoNeyard]

Nebraska may beat BC, MAY beat them. Other than that I don't see this team winning any other game.

 

Season is a dumpster fire

One of the most disheartening losses I’ve ever seen.

 

going to be hard for the team to recover from this one 

I don't think that's true.

At one point in the game, our win probability was 98.2%.

 

Pathetic.

I cannot believe we lost this game, complete horse$hit and what a terrible decision to go for it on 4th and 1 instead of kicking a field goal. From about 11 minutes left in the 4th quarter we started playing terrible again. The overall play from this team was ridiculous in the end and this is on the staff for this continuing. Penalties, miscues, terrible play. EVERYONE owns this one, there is no buy in excuse that I'm willing to hear at this point.

No excuses. I want to hear the staff own up to this one.  This was on them.  Tired of the buy in.  Tired of the lack if talent.  Tired of friggin losing and killing ourselves EVERY FRIGGIN GAME with no changes.  Our DB technique is horrible.  If I coached against us I'd go deep every time.  It will be a catch, PI or incomplete.

I've said several times today, time for this staff to own up for some of these losses.  The talent might be lacking, but this is a crap product we are getting on the field.  Penalties, ST break downs, 99 yard drive for the tie with no answer on how to stop......The B1G is different.  Maybe, just maybe what worked at UCF won't work here...Kind of like NU switching defensive schemes and going after speed.....

Speed is talent, not scheme sir.

We simply forgot what it feels to win a game. The culture has become us losing games and then drinking koolaid and saying that the future is bright. I am sorry, the future sucks because we just guaranteed that we are not going to a bowl game for the second consecutive year. Pretty soon, our fans will forget that Nebraska was a mighty football team in the 90’s. Honestly, seeing this crap today, it feels like a Greek myth that Nebraska once was the Alabama of football. Now, we are the Kansas or Illinois or Arkansas...just pick any loser team.

That piss poor offensive calling, lack of any defense and continued undisciplined play via all these flags is 100% in this coaching staff.  Every single week there is minimal improvement, that’s 100% on this staff

You don’t run three straight running plays  under two min they saw that a mile away. And don’t get me started on the 4 and inches earlier in the game.

Frost needs to relieve himself of playcalling duties. 

 

-Chin is not the answer at DC. UCF fans were correct

 

-I will be happy when Reed, A Williams, Jackson, Neal, Young, and Freedom move on.

 

-Hats off to Barry, Gifford, Martinez, Spielman, Washington, and Zig. Those guys want to win so bad. 

 

-Worst special teams I’ve ever seen. 

 

Young guys need to play more.

One thing that bothered me was that we weren’t playing to win. We were running up the middle to put ourselves into position to kick a field goal...or simply to punt. We weren’t playing to win, we were playing like we were scared we would lose. And that’s often the very best way to lose.

The old callahan strategy

If they can get over this game and take away the positives then maybe they'll beat Minnesota. I don't think they will, so yeah, BC looks like the sole win this year.

I'll take that as a "yes".

This is the equivalent to saying we should fire him.
