Martinez doesn’t trust himself. Frost doesn’t trust Martinez regardless of what he says publicly. You don’t run that drive with 1:34 left in the half if you have any confidence at all in your QB. This is a joke. Put Vedral in

Other than being a Nebraska kid what makes you think Verdal is good enough to lead this offense?

[Packerhuskerfan]

It feels like we should be up by at least another 7.  Martinez is tentative to run and looking at just his first option too often.

Somewhere Mark Banker weeps....

We have anemia on offense.

The D line rarely pressures the worst offense in the conference.

Tired people saying it could be worse. No this offense can't be any worse. Put Vendral or let McCaffrey use a game. We aren't winning the division.

I don't think it can get much worse.  Wrong reads, poor passing, no emotion or passion, AM looking timid to run.....  Gotta try and get a spark.

He's dressed but doesn't have his helmet.

 

Not sure if he's really hurt or just trying to rest him this week.

Thanks. Not sure resting him is a good idea. Apparently he is necessary for this offense to move

So far, this game is favoring northwestern...they like these low scoring grind out games and they are able to gain momentum at the right time of a game. If we don’t put some cushion between us and them, they can end up winning a close game. Our play calling is very conservative and timid. We are playing not to lose rather than playing to win.

Agree 100%. The offense needs to come out with their hair on fire and execute better. And if Martinez needs to ride pine for a series or two, then so be it.

They haven't really been in the pocket much.  Pretty quick throws.  

 

And we have at least one sack.  And Stille got a big hit on the QB

His name is Vedral and we've seen him play with authority once before. We'd like to see him again just to be sure.

This isn't a good team.  it still is mistake prone and gets stupid penalties besides not being a great threat on the field.  Defense is doing pretty good but it isn't against a good offense.  On the plus side, no turnovers yet.  That is a great improvement.

100% agree.  Frost needs to make the hard decision, that yes AM was your gotta get guy.  BUT he has regressed and appears shell shocked.  Sit him down a few series.  Let Noah see what he can do.  That last series.....SMH.  Pathetic.  No fear of failure?  no fear of mediocrity more like it.

If this season continues as it is. I could see Amart transferring out.

To be fair, Wisconsin had 243 yards against them for the entire game last week...
