My goodness, can't we even put some pressure on an injured, immobile QB?
Can't we even stop him when he tries to run????
Don't we have a good D? Not any more????

This is embarrassing. Our offense is horrible. Our WR can't see or catch. Our QB makes too many mistakes and our o- line is soft. When are McCall and springer getting the hook

Hmmm, is the O not a problem? According to some, it wasn't since, you know, they did (just) enough to get those Ws (when the rest of us could clearly see that it was a big issue regardless).

The math does not work for a Cats comeback. Our offense cannot score quickly enough even when firing on all cylinders and Iowa's O-Line is dominating us. That is a combination that leads to a long, excruciating fourth quarter.

Oh, mine...this game is turning into a comedy of errors (on the NU side)...a humiliation in front of a national audience....good things is we will be gone from the rankings soon, which may perhaps cause others to overlook us....hopefully they'll beat at least someone (Purdue?) to make it to a very modest bowl game.

This is worse than the UM loss since at least UM was healthy and at AA.

UW and PSU D's are going to feast on this anemic O.

This offense is an abomination. Isn't there any accountability on this team? In my business, people would get fired over this.

Back to reality. I thought this team would have a different make-up from 2013 and not let one loss put the season in a death-spiral, but it is starting to look very similar. Maybe we won't lose 6-7 in a row thanks to the Charmin-soft back end of the schedule other than Wis...at least on paper.

Game out of reach, so why not see what another QB can do? Thorson just doesn't have it today.

I agree entirely. Announcers just commented that he is only making a first look and then is running. Time to try something else. We're not going to get three TD's in 15 minutes so give Oliver (preferably) or Alviti a chance,

Too early for Alviti and the running. If Fitz is going to make a change at QB now, it would be Oliver. Just start throwing the ball all over the field.

Thorson is completely lost out there. He has no pocket presence whatsoever. Fitz is playing for next season. It sickens me to think this is the best qb we have.

Says a lot about the NU QB situation when Fitz still thinks Thorson is the best answer.

Yes, Thorson has hardly been the only issue on O, but he looks lost and indecisive out there.

With the fumble, doesn't matter now. Time to change the channel.

I am determined to hang in and see if there is any hope for the future as we should be playing against their second and third string for the rest of the game.

Worrisome that Thorson and the team is not progressing albeit against good competition. Have lost the battle at the LOS 2 games now. What's happened to the team that beat Minny just a few weeks ago? This team is faltering badly.
