This team fights

[notredomer23]

You can knock our defense as much as you want, but we fight! 2nd week in a row in the 4th we come back to take the lead. This team reminds me so much of 05 and 06, except our secondary is decent and its our dline that is bad.

 

[NeuteredDoomer]

The athletes fight and play like a team.

ND has to be able to cut down on the penalties, or it's going to kill us in tougher games........

A hell of a lot more than some of its frontrunner "fans" who declared the game and the season over at halftime whinning about uninspired play.

I honestly think that with the exception of USC, the MSU and Michigan games could be the toughest games of the season. I'm really not sold on Washington although I think they could knock us off, and Pitt has yet to play anyone. No one else on our schedule really scares me.

We will handle Washington. It's at home and our offense it alot better than theirs. I think our offense fights and out D looks lost. Too many safety's saving long TD's. Where are the LB's on this team?

too busy blitzing.

I don't have replay TV, but the LBs seemed to commit to a spot and not to backing the line. It seems to be an all or nuttin D, but that can create easy cutbacks and leave the end wide open.

I don't think it is the athletes' faults, just the scheme of things. My lil dogs are hustling.

This team keeps battling back. They will not quit. D line aside i am very impressed with the heart the Irish have shown all year

 

[tankjeep]

there is no substitute for team chemistry, i'll say that.

That's because for the second week in a row we have blown a double digit lead and had to make a comeback.

Did we not come back? isn't that what this thread is reffering to?

.....so negative....

When exactly did we have a double digit lead vs Michigan? I know we were down 11 twice in that game and fought back. But I dont ever remember us having a double digit lead in that game.

If you are going to be negative like that, at least get your facts straight.

You're right I screwed up on that.

no1IrishFan is a big fan. Nothing wrong with a big fan getting angry and posting on his home team's board.

I just peed on my neighbor's roof. You can do that when you are a badass reindeer.

The bottom line is this: when you win, you win. Nothing else matters. I don't give a damn about style points. I hate when this team loses games to teams which is shouldn't lose to. Could I feel better about this win? Sure I could. But, the team scrapped, hung in there and found a way to win. Nichol over threw that receiver because of pressure. It wasn't a lucky break. If Nichol has that guy that wide open and five seconds to throw it's a TD....I could've thrown that pass with that kind of time; but the reality is that Nichol was pressured and overthrew that ball and that is because of the defense--not luck.

Exactly!!! Reps. I am sooooooooooo fuc**** happy that we won. Took my wife to dinner, and I was commenting on how my mood is so affected by this damn team LOL. I don't give a crap right now how bad our defense played. I know they pretty much suck. I'll worry about that midweek. This team was at a major crossroads today, and CW was done if not for Mr. Kyle Mcmotherf-ingCarthy. I'm just happy that we WON, that CW still has a job, and that USC lost baby! Go Irish!!!

Are you sure that was pee you squirted from your badass? Maybe a little somethin' else that's used for marking one's territory?
