Their kicker is lights out good. He scores and the game is out of reach...we had a million chances to win this game and we did everything in our power to lose...this happens every time.…I do not mind losing but losing this way is worst than losing...it is demoralizing 

The reality is this. Every fan watching the game was waiting for the mistake that'd cost us the game. I will guarantee every player and staff member was thinking the exact same thing.  Once that's in your head, it's HARD to get that sh!t out. It becomes a self fulfilling prophecy....

If there is truth that Fleming just up and left, McQuitty's comments, JD leaving etc.....There are problems and disconnects between team and staff....And it's hurting the culture.  

Would you go out for pass after pass after being recruited to a "west coast offense" only to watch the QB scramble 50% of the time and never throw a pass over 10 yards? I'd find a different team if I thought I was Jerry Rice. Our backfield game only has a chance against the Iowa Dink and Dunk Dullards.

We beat the spread.  2-3 this season!  Congrats to Coach Fraud and his Clowning Staff.

You created an account just to post that?

Iowa sucks as much as us so it’s no surprise that it was a holding call that ultimately led to our demise. We don’t do well trying to chase points. 
 

but I do like some of the things I saw today and even some of them on offense.

Every loss is on Coach Fraud.  Every player on the team deserves better coaching, and better strength and conditioning.

That loss wasn’t on Frost. Frost didn’t commit unnecessary hold to erase big gain. Frost didn’t muff punt that would have given us the ball at midfield and Frost certainly didn’t whiff on key pass blocking assignment. Martinez and Robinson deserved to win that game. Teammates let them down. 

Frost hired the guy that "coaches" the OLine

Frost hired the Special Teams Overlord of being A Mystery Coach that has a DB returning punts

Frost makes the decision to switch QBs for no apparent reason, and guess what the two different cadences in the one drive bit his team in the a$$

Frost has repeatedly proven he doesn't hold players accountable for their f#&% ups, which lead to unnecessary penalties

So yeah it's on him

Not at all. And the sound you hear is our class of 2021 de-committing....

And this is what, IMHO, is causing some issues behind closed doors...

Might get lucky and get them Covid canceled.

 

Minnesota might be winnable, Purdue will punish us

I wish I could puke on your shoes.

The offense looked better today.  I'd like to see Martinez throw the ball downfield to his receivers even when they're not wide open.  On one on one situations, let your WR make a play.

But WHY don’t we develop players as well? Isn’t that the coaching staff’s job 1???

 

Should be their job.

 

Why they can't develop players is beyond my comprehension.  I can't answer that question

In case you couldn't tell, our OL can't hold blocks long enough.  Or in some cases at all.

Do you really have any faith whatsoever that this team will pull it off? I don't.

I actually did at that moment.  I liked what the offense was able to accomplish for most of the game.  Martinez had a lot of time for most of the game, but eventually Iowa sent 6 against our 5 and Martinez had no chance.

Based on the tweets coming from several of them, that's not happening. 

[Huskers93-97]

Honestly a game like this the last 10 years would ruin my day. Maybe even half of tomorrow. 5 minutes later I don’t give a f#&% anymore. It’s who we are and Frost is here to stay
