I still want to TA ride the pine the rest of the game. If we're gonna lose, at least let one of the other guys get some playing time

Not just playing time. I honestly think we have a better chance at winning with Fyfe in the game.

We have a better chance of winning with TA out of the game.

This is the problem with Bo...well, one of many. He's not willing to bench TA and put in the backup, even if its just for a few series.

This is a fun game to watch. Take away the context of the season, and this is a fun game to watch.

We'll agree to disagree.

I agree with you. TA is just not a good QB, especially under pressure. I wish we could just have an average QB that can make some throws and manage the game. Instead, we've had 6 years of running QBs that can't throw.

I've never been impressed with TA

Thanks_Tom, your level masochism would make even the sternest Dominatrix blush.

And take away the fun game to watch. Other than that, yes it is a football game.

 

[corncraze]

Yay?

True fan here.

My bad. Think you misinterpreted my comment. It was a joke insinuating that our fans have forgotten how to have fun and get excited during a game.

 

[Street Novelist]

Our offense is a complete joke. Take away Abdullah and we have nothing. TA doesn't scare anyone.

If Ameer had been in on the second play Ryker made (hand off to Pierson El) he would've seen that hole and been gone. I agree. Tommy needs to sit this one out. I would like to see Ryker play or Stanton even. Give these kids who are going to be back next year playing time. Iowa looks awful! Good grief! A pick and a fumble in the Red Zone? Good grief!

 

[Branno]

Okay. That was all on Tommy. The under route was wide open.

This is a disgrace.

Sure it wasn't on Beck? Or are you finally don't making the same tired excuses you've been making all year for TA.

You just quoted a comment where I said that one was all on TA, then asked me if I'm done making excuses for TA like I have been all year?
Haha. We got a winner here.

Yeah. I did that on purpose. You've made excuse, after excuse, after excuse for TA's horrible play. You've treated me like an bad guy for being critical of TA. You constantly blame the coaches for TA's mistakes. And finally now you find one play to put on TA.

I just wanted to make sure you didn't have a stroke.

It's a sad day when Nebraska fans find joy in their team struggling to beat a mediocre Iowa team in hopes of finishing in 3rd place in a crappy division.

Pelini is not much of a planner but if it were me and I knew I had a guy as unreliable as Armstrong as my starter I would get my backups in any chance I could to get them some experience during the season. Here it is the end of the season wouldn't you have it. This applies to the Wisconsin game also. We've had other quarterbacks here before make there start with no game experience. Grow some Pelini.

He's never been good, clearly doesn't have that it factor.

 

[corncraze]

Don't give up on Tommy. Would like to see what he could do with the right coach working with him.

Maybe if he had a different coaching staff, he'd be an all league player.

Kinda like the previous starter.

Oh, wait........

Oh I agree. I was a big Martinez fan. Really think he was under appreciated here.

 

[Hayseed]

I hope we get to see that funny taco commercial again.

Okay, maybe not tressel. Paul flippin' Johnson, or Jeff Monken. Give me some flexbone power option football for the love of all that is holy. Georgia Tech is 16th and playing for their conference division. That's what we want. Don't want the Marshall guy - they're giving up 42 in one half to the offensive juggernaut Western Kentucky. (edit)
