At least they’re getting us now. Cause we’re getting better and better. Not measurably, but hopefully.

They clearly have no fear of failure. They fail time and time again and seem totally cool with it. 

no fear of playing like sh!t or losing their starting position is more like it...

This play calling.....This scheme.....WTH.  SO much better last year.

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

[HuskerJax]

I didn’t think I would get in this train, but I’m ready to see another qb for a bit. Adrian is just not playing well

What happen to the offense?  I thought year two under a coach was when a jump was suppose to happen.  They have definitely regressed.

Cheeks happened 

[lo country]

This offense is about as exciting as vanilla ice cream.  It is currently pathetic...

[HuskerJax]

Did I miss something? Is Washington hurt?

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 understood not throwing in a backup against Ohio State. Might have been dangerous to have first snaps come there.

 

But NW at home? Let’s see if Vedral could do better. Feels like we are worried the offense actually would look better and we’d have controversy.

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.

Martinez is just thinking too much right now. He just needs to play and have fun

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

 

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

[huskerfan74]

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.

Right. Ok if it’s worse go back. But whatever has happened to AM isn’t changing. He’s terrible. Stop making excuses. Make him earn a start now
