This is year 3 folks. The "why's" don't matter anymore.

Yep, first one is Angeli going in the game

Stop. Why would we go to Angeli?
Calm down. NIU has played the perfect game so far and other than getting 1 unsportsmanlike conduct we’ve got zero help from the 12th man at home.

Classic trap game

 

[Sea Turtle]

Maybe we need an entire summer to prepare for each game?

 

[NDdomer2]

We've seen this record play out before. Coach clearly isn't capable of keeping his team locked in vs the lower opponents

 

[T-Boone]

I'd say the passing game is worse than last season. Just run it.

 

[ShawneeIrish]

What a bunch of crybabies. Writing was on the wall for a letdown. Freeman has had more big wins in 3 years than BK had his entire tenure and you babies want a new head coach because of a bad half. Plenty of time to get right in the second half, win this game, and continue marching to the playoffs.

 

[Crazy Balki]

Shades of Marshall and Cal '22. Fans are letting them know it.

They should be ashamed.

 

[Cackalacky2.0]

Honestly their td was lucky as fuck. Since then they have not really done much else. ND has shit the bed though. Somebody better light a fire in that dressing room and wake these dudes up.

The passing game got worse from last year.

Are you on drugs? NIU has NOT played a perfect game. We have been suspect on defense, but worse - we have a taller version of Pyne on offense. NIU wouldn't be playing this well if they had to respect the pass. Like at all.

Why was Ford in there for that drive? Love and Price are the only threat. Baffling to me.

 

[NDVirginia19]

We’ve had guys open downfield. Leonard is not keeping his eyes downfield. Playing like Tim Tebow today

 

[Pete]

Did we even have 150 yards in the 1st half?

"Letdown" is a slow start, a few miscues and stumbling into halftime up 17-10 or 20-13, not losing 13-7 while your lines are getting pushed around and you can't buy a legitimate pass from your starting QB.

I think people will stop "crying" when shit like Marshall and Stanford stop happening. Until then, the crying is very much justified.

That wasn't an issue all of last year, but okay.

169.

NIU had 218.

 

[Sea Turtle]

Notre Dame there at the end getting laughed at.

 

[Jimmy3Putt]

We need Steve in the second half. The man was perfect in the bowl and deserves a chance.

Because of OL are not trustworthy so we had to choose blocking RB over dynamic RB.

Riley has thrown a few okay passes that the WRs are just dropping so its not all on him.

 

[Luckylucci]

at least they didn't take it back

Glass half full, much appreciated, lol

 

[Terry Jillery]

We couldn’t adjust vs Marshall. Can we today?

 

[Crazy Balki]

Love and Price have a combined EIGHT carries in the first half.

....HOW!?

 

[spoonidentity]

If Leonard is hurt and tweaked his ankle on the first drive, he's useless as a runner and has no force behind his throws. An injury backup is needed

 

[Pete]

Because he can throw the ball past 10 fucking yards

 

[Terry Jillery]

The Greathouse drop was really a gut punch in this game imo.

 

[GATTACA!]

Leonard is horrible. He can’t see the field at all. I refuse to believe there aren’t any WRs open. Just pathetic.

 

[ThePiombino]

Greathouse drop was egregious and the early Mitchell drop was questionable, but other than that Leonard has been painfully inaccurate and quick to panic.

Coogan and Spindler need to play. They were better than these pussies who are in there now . Number 8 is killing us . Shit needs to be broken in the locker room.
Start benching people who don’t perform
