I thought it was end of the quarter as well right or am i mistaken??? Meaning he had to score to get points. If not then my mistake. To me AM was always looking to score and not make the right play. He looked like he just threw it up for grabs.

 

It was 4th and long, halfway through the 4th quarter, and we were down by 14.

No, it was middle of the 4th.  And yes, he threw it up for grabs.  What would you have him do in that situation?

Here's the start of the series if you want a refresher.  Not sure I see much you could blame Adrian for on 1st-4th down here:

Now, have at least average special teams and how many more games would we have won?

1 for sure - probably 2. Michigan St you can say it cost us but at the same time go score the f'in football. Our D gave up ZERO 1st downs all second half and we scored 10 points. AM had a fumble and INT with 0 passing TDs - did score on two close runs.

Well first the throw on second down was not accurate. You can say I'm nitpicking about the throw on second down but that separate's a great qb and a good qb. The sack on third down he looked like he was stuck in mud. Was it the o-line or him????

O-line; #69 got beat like he stole something.

2nd down throw was into coverage and he put it in a safe place where it was a td or incomplete. No one else was open. Weren’t you just talking about the qb making better decisions to save points?

Just a different perspective: In the previous offensive drive that put us up by 7, Martinez was clutch. The whole team executed, the play calling worked, it just all came together in a pretty clutch point in the game.

 

Nothing wrong IMO in hanging the outcome of the game then on your defense to close it out.

 

But then our punter essentially has a f****** stroke and they get a walk-in touchdown.

 

If that game isn't on special teams I really don't know what is. Our defense didn't even get a crack at shutting down the game because of that gaffe.

Martinez had more than plenty of time to prove he was a winner.

 

It's Thompson's time now.

4 years wasn't long enough to realize this?

This is the practice field which is right next to the stadium.  Also the Bears announced that they are re sodding their field before their home opener against the 49'ers.  I'll be at the game so I'm also curious as to what it is going to be like with the re sodding.

This is in Lincoln.  You can see Oldfather Hall and the new football facility in the background.
