The problem. NONE OF THOSE FRIGGIN GAMES SHOULD HAVE BEEN CLOSE!!!!!!!
That's a losers attitude. "Season turns on close games". You go in thinking that your season "turns/hinges/depends" on close games you are dead on arrival........

Exactly. We could easily have played better the first 59 minutes of these games such that it wouldn't come down to making or not making a play on the last possession.
That's what I think some are missing. It's not the last second heroics. Hell, we've been on the positive end of several. The bottom line, as you said, play the first 59 minutes better and we never worry about the last minute. Minnesota was the closest game I have seen in years that w played a complete 4 quarters. As you posted earlier, we also ran the ball. Well, very well that day.

No go on Armstrong, Fyfe up next in Saturday game! Go FYFE! I say he will get approximately 250 yards plus throwing.
Close game define your season.....I would agree. Last year, what if we lose to McNeese St in the first game of the season? Also a game in which should not have been close? Northwestern the hail Mary........does that team lose more games after that.....? If we contend that the games never should have been that close, then it applies even in bad wins, right?
So, I would agree with that statement. If you think that is only a problem for this staff, your wrong.....Bo's teams played many games against lesser teams and had closer wins than you would realize. Sure, those games usually were won, they did define some of his seasons, but if what your thinking is that we shouldn't have even been in that position because we have better talent, wake up. The ball just bounced the right way on those days. This year it isn't, and its the same team making the same mental breakdown mistakes. Penalty yards alone in the losses, add up to at least a set of downs that should have never been played on either side of the ball. Penalty yards were and have been the issue for years now. Instead of yelling at the Refs, lets fix the issues. WE have never fixed those atittude issues for 5 years now. How many games has this cost the teams in the last few years?
