    NU/Wisconsin 2nd Half Thread

    Yes - create overload sides. Bring in max protect to give more time (in theory). I can see you’re not interested in really reading the gist of my posts, so whatever - keep flaming.

    NU/Wisconsin 2nd Half Thread

    What I don’t understand is — I’m not **** posting - I’m offering real debatable thoughts - meaning we should look at sets, game plans, personal packages that allow you to create some advantages. I’ll give you a few to start - Bowser and Anderson should be in the backfield together on either...

    NU/Wisconsin 2nd Half Thread

    So effin dumb - at the time NU ran that draw they were down 14-3; that’s not what Wisconsin has or would be doing, IMO. Further to my point - their offense was getting booed ... at home because they can’t and won’t accept 7 points. That doesn’t mean the fans are totally justified - but at least...

    NU/Wisconsin 2nd Half Thread

    No other handles. But it’s rather creepy that it’s your prerogative to investigate fans in that way. If you want to question my fandom - then go for it. I’ve been registered for years but only now post because I can now watch the games live after living overseas for a long period of time. I’m...

    NU/Wisconsin 2nd Half Thread

    Of course I did. So block better. Go max protect (which they annoyingly don’t do) - they refuse to scheme anything different, absent the team they’re facing - because apparently they will die on their sword with the same lame playcalling and sets. As long as I’ve seen you post here, you can’t...

    NU/Wisconsin 2nd Half Thread

    It is really difficult to put on the displays Northwestern is putting on offense in this iteration of college football. REALLY difficult. But whatever - it’ll get fixed. Being an ******* to reporters is the way to go. It’s a bully/defensive mechanism I wish wasn’t Fitz’s go-to, but again, that’s...

    NU/Wisconsin 2nd Half Thread

    I’ll take you on - name calling aside, give me your breakdown of why running a draw on 3rd down and laying down the series doesn’t equal giving up. The announcer called it, he said, “that just slightly changes where you punt from” - are the announcers, who talked up Fitz also trolls? Why is it...

    NU/Wisconsin 2nd Half Thread

    The Northwestern coaches gave up with 2 minutes to go in the 3rd quarter. I don’t know what you do about that. They’re supposed to be the experienced and grown ups on the field. Good luck getting recruits when this and MSU is what you’re showing on offense. They will stay the lowest scoring...

    NU/Wisconsin 1st Half Thread

    The current level of trust let’s you know how confident they are in the offensive line and quarterback. You can then get into who recruited, who developed, and who is overall response for years of poor play. I’ve read the last few days of posting and I’m a bit flummoxed at the idea that this...

    Second-half thread for NU vs. MSU

    Comeon. Come the **** on. They’re throwing screens directly to MSU - Hunter did it as well. That’s not just performance - that’s scouting, predictability and lack of imagination (MSU knows what’s coming every time)

    Second-half thread for NU vs. MSU

    If you follow Bergin - just watch him - he’s a division 3 player; the question now comes to the coaches - how can that position not be better. Is this another stubborn “we know best” ******** story - because that doesn’t work. It just doesn’t. I think Pat Fitzgerald is generally above average...

    Second-half thread for NU vs. MSU

    Watching Bergin play week over week and continue to get tossed around makes me question so much about this staff. Why can’t you field scholarship LB’s that aren’t overmatched this year? What happened to improved recruiting. No - I don’t expect perfect seasons - not even close, but there are...

    First-half thread for NU vs. MSU

    The coaching limitations are so maddening - and it just sucks that Hunter isn’t a finished product - gotta stick with him, but I was hoping he’d be much better than what he’s showing early on. The McCall stuff isn’t worth rehashing - it doesn’t matter that his offense 3 weeks in has yet to show...

    True freshmen

    Having met him a few times, he’s already a full unit, Corbi. The physique is not his problem - I suspect you’re right that technique and blocking responsibilities is what keeps great talents like him on the bench early on.

    Chris Bergin

    Yeah - empty tackles don’t mean much when you’re consistently loosing battles in space and getting juked. No - this isn’t to bring down a player, but rather to call reality how it is. As Olin’s Kreutz says, “the tape doesn’t lie” I’ll admit that I’m clearly frustrated both of the outside...
