Imo. Red zone is where Oline deficiencies are magnified. Poor red zone = poor oline. 

I think that and Scott having a playbook designed on "big" plays.  Less yards equals a smaller playbook.  But I do agree, OL play truly dictates success or failure.

Exactly.

 

We had success on the goal line with that spread formation. What happened to that the rest of the game?

 

This staff constantly puts the players in disadvantageous positions.

So all those open receiver over throws were because AM was put in a bad position?  LOL

But, WRs dropped balls on the first drive. 

The ones over their heads?  Ya not easy catches what so ever.  Again, when the announcer even says the throws are high, it’s not just one posters opinion.

Benhart got beat on the safety.

After 3/12-4 seconds of a safe pocket.  AM is a four year starter and SHOULD know he can’t hold the ball longer than that.

Still are catches those guys usually make.

Haven’t rewatched the play, but I would be shocked if he was in the pocket fir 3.5-4 seconds. 
 

BUT….even if I give you those plays, we still win if others make easy plays.

Even the announcers commented on this.  He doesn't have that "internal clock" to know it's time to throw it away or get up field.  Too much of Verduzco's BS in his head.....

[The Scarlet Pimpernel]

Someone please tell me again how Verduzco should still be here and that AM's growth and development is evident

[Hooked on Huskers]

4th down and 6 inches to goal ..... QB shotgun.  Make sense

Well considering one is a former NFL QB I think he may know a thing or two about the situation

The announcers know football better than you or I and use replays and telestrators to point out mistakes and missed opportunities for every team. 93% of the time it helps us better understand the game. 

 

Multiple announcers have pointed out the flaws in Adrian's game that keep him from reaching his potential or elite status or both. By now it's the book on Martinez, whether we like it or not. 

 

They've been very diplomatic about Scott Frost.

 

We can pretend we don't care what the national college football insiders think, but it's highly relevant to our situation.

His pocket presence has ben mentioned ad nauseam....Not just this one time.  With a full time QB guru, I'd think we would see less of these issues.  

 

And TBH, I am a fan of AM,  Without him and an improving D, I am unsure how many wins we have.    He is not the reason for the losses.  Team sport.  He's just an easy lightning rod to focus on.

Yeah, I'm good with Martinez.  The OL continues to underperform and that has an effect.

They are struggling for sure.  Penalties killing us there as well.  IIRC this season, we currently sit at #103 in sacks given up.  Not good.
