Sep 7 | NIU

[ShamrockOnHelmet]

You guys think this hurts now? Just wait until NIU gets their doors blown off by like Ball State or some shit like that later in the year…

 

[mrmcgrail]

My poor brother and sister are at this game for his 30th I would have been there but my wife had a wedding to work thank God

 

[Grahambo]

I love ya and we shouldn’t turn on each other.

But, we just lost to another FCS team with a squad that was expected to make a run in the playoffs. I think this is just the place and time to lose our minds, lol.

People can do as they please but they go 11-1, this doesn’t matter. They do this again next week? Fire away.

Folks want to trample me for being patient, so be it. I don’t care.

 

[BeatSC]

We literally did block a fg

Block 2 then!!

 

[PigtownIrish]

So, Leonard must be bad in practice too right?

 

[PutuporShutup]

What about your take on Riley Leonard being the guy or does that not count

Ive never been super high on him but yeah I wanted him to do well… it was pretty clear last week he’s not good enough passer and it was crystal clear by the second quarter he needed benched

Denbrock is running a pathetic offense due to Riley, I’m not at practice, it should have been decided there that this offense isn’t it

This loss alone cost the playoffs. Let alone the ass whipping USC is going to put in this team that can’t score.

All american...lol

 

[POTUS2017]

I’m dead inside.

I don’t comment much on here due to getting a little over my head and saying stupid shit.

It’s time for Freeman to go. He talks the talk, but walks like he’s fucking Stephen Hawking.

Year 3 and we look absolutely inept on all sides of the ball against a MAC team. Cannot believe this was the best QB we could get in the portal. And he must have an ironclad guarantee in his contract if he’s starting over even Angeli or Minchey, let alone Carr.

This is it for me for the season. Don’t need the stress. I’ll tune in but my level of interest is gone.

Good luck all.

 

[Jimmy3Putt]

Some of y’all need to go touch grass.

99.999999999999999999999999% of the time I agree with your statement.
Today it's time to burn the world.

Year three with TONS of QB talent sitting on the bench. You make the change at halftime and figure the starting qb out on Monday.

Steve was perfect in the bowl, Kenny would've moved the ball better than Opie, and CJ is a freaking 5 star.

 

[mrmcgrail]

Freeman needs to eat this one fully and be on the hot seat at the maximum and should be gone but he won't be

 

[Dizzyphil]

Transfers out of ND a'com'n

You're not wrong brother...110% spot on. I wanted him to be the guy cause he genuinely is a guy you can root for, but this is unacceptable

If we change QBs now and somehow run the table, we're probably sneaking in still

 

[BeatSC]

LMAO. Let's bring politics into it. What is your favorite trump legislation that he passed? Oh, crickets? thought so

Better no legislation than the “inflation reduction act”. Worked real well didn’t it? Aka green new deal. Yes I’m hurting since a whole season #3 which is always the year to win it all is over with the most embarrassing loss in memory.

 

[Dizzyphil]

For what??? another embarrassing beat down?

 

[fightingirish26]

For what??? another embarrassing beat down?

Yes

 

[BeatSC]

Love the dream. Let’s hope the team gets mad and plays angry because they embarrassed themselves and their fans. They have nothing to be proud of. Sad thing is it will be tough to bench the savior and captain QB in favor of Angeli. Do we really think Angeli gets only 14 points?

 

[Terry Jillery]

I’d take Fickell or Ruh

So how many guys should be benched next week and who should get more Playing Time? Of course we can’t block a FG attempt.

the coaches

If we run the table we’re not sneaking in, we’re kicking the door in and taking a seat.

This loss is a season killer in previous formats. It’s not this year.

E. Obviously, it’s not a great sign for what’s to come but in every other sport format but college football people understand that a 90% chance of winning doesn’t mean the game will always break your way.

It's a killer from hosting.

Oh yes it is because it won’t be the last one this team loses.

 

[GowerND11]

It doesn’t matter if they gave up 4,000 yards. They only gave up 16 freaking points, you should be able to outscore your opponent if you only give up 16 points.

Yeah. But look at time of possession. It’s how long they took to gain those yards. Methodical. Eating the clock all game long knowing it would shorten the game. So while you’re right, they had a plan and stuck to it.

 

[IrishinSyria]

Ok but that’s not the hypo I was responding to.

 

[stpeteirish]

Misleading. They ran too many plays, moved the chains too much, and put us in a long field too many times.

But of the three, offense, defense and special teams defense was the best. Not saying much, offense and special teams abysmal

 

[BeatSC]

Not Denbrock. That decision was made before him. I think we should all consider that when placing blame.

We could have had the QB now at Ohio State but we dumped him to get Leonard the all American boy. Now for some reason we are going to feel obligated to die with him. Leonard should pull a Biden and take himself out of it for the team. We can let him enter the portal now so teams can line up to get him for next year. PS Riley, don’t hold your breath!
Who’s a think it that Jack Coan would be by far the most productive of these transfer QBs and many of us were shitting on him all season and calling for Buchner. Pyne or Buchner could have outplayed Leonard!

 

[BeatSC]

It doesn’t matter if they gave up 4,000 yards. They only gave up 16 freaking points, you should be able to outscore your opponent if you only give up 16 points.

Agreed but when we needed a stop our draftable duo of Leonard and Cross got pushed around like bitches. Not good enough. D gets a c+ for whole game and a F on final drive.

 

[FU BK]

At this point I'd take BK back

I don't know if I'd go that far.... we'd still be 1-1....just would of won today

 

[Giddyup]

I like Minchey best as far as talent experience combo

 

[GATTACA!]

Defense also looked worse because the offense put them in a defensive struggle. If the offense would have actually produced anything and NIU had to try and score instead of just move the chains over and over the defense could have pinned their ears back and gone.
