Second-half thread for NU vs. Stanford

[Alvious]

WTF was that?

 

[TejasCat]

3rd and 14 qb draw, ok.

 

[PaHICat]

Big play from the D would be nice now.

 

[bringbacktherantboard]

If we have to punt, this is the perfect place to do it from.

 

[Titanium999]

Slater is out! Hurt us big time

 

[TheC]

Gee.... everybody in the damn stadium knew that play was coming. Come on McCall!!!!

 

[Deeringfish]

Gee.... everybody in the damn stadium knew that play was coming. Come on McCall!!!!

Seriously,

 

[Alvious]

Never mind that, what the hell was that Dr. Pepper commercial?

 

[NUCat320]

Gee.... everybody in the damn stadium knew that play was coming. Come on McCall!!!!

Pretty lame call.

 

[BFDCat]

McCall is a moron. Jesus.

 

[phatcat_rivals223240]

We need Mills to have another Jack Coan moment

 

[bringbacktherantboard]

Gee.... everybody in the damn stadium knew that play was coming. Come on McCall!!!!

Why not just throw a deep ball? If it's dropped, the clock stops (we just blew an extra 30 seconds for what reason?). If we catch it, great! There's also a chance for a PI call. And if it's intercepted, it's like a punt.

This play had no chance and just wasted time.

 

[Purple Pile Driver]

I see the depth chart means nothing

Gee.... everybody in the damn stadium knew that play was coming. Come on McCall!!!!

actually not many outside this board knew it was coming. Who would ever call that play without a Russell Wilson at QB.

Could have at least rolled him out

Hunter isn't connecting but is running well. He gets 8 yards and you have a makeable 4th down

And I never defend Mick

Because when in doubt, we go ultra-conservative. That's Fitz's style. As much as I can't stand it, the guy has won a lot of games, so I guess I shouldn't complain. Its so hard to watch, but yet, we find ways to win.

I'm not going for it on 4th and 7 at that part of the field, with 3 timeouts. I'm punting and trying to pin them back.

 

[TheC]

Whillock has had a bad game. He is flying around, but not finishing plays.

 

[Titanium999]

Blitz em

 

[phatcat_rivals223240]

Wtf is wrong w our defense's tackling

 

[phatcat_rivals223240]

True

 

[Purple Pile Driver]

Everybody on the planet knew that play was coming

 

[TheC]

And another missed tackle in the hole. That is probably the ball game.

 

[Titanium999]

We will have 50 seconds to go fifty yards. Possible

 

[phatcat_rivals223240]

Sheesh. What a sh1tpile on this drive

 

[PurpWildCatNation]

Whillock has had a bad game. He is flying around, but not finishing plays.

He's been pretty bad.

 

[bringbacktherantboard]

Well, at least we'll get the ball back.

And as I predicted, that damned FG at the end of the half is the difference in the game.

 

[NUCat320]

“We believe in NU”

 

[Alvious]

And a back door cover on top of it. Nice.

 

[PurpWildCatNation]

LoL at our O-Line today.

 

[TejasCat]

why roll to a right handed QB's left????????????????? what was the play?

 

[NUCat320]

Two guys untouched.
Where oh where is Cushing?

 

[TheC]

Can someone explain why McCall called that absolfuckinglutely stupid stupid play????????

 

[Catslash]

Well at least we've settled the 4 and 5 star controversy.

 

[Titanium999]

That was just nasty! Let the linebacker nail him like that! Michigan State would murder us!

 

[TejasCat]

Can someone explain why McCall called that absol****inglutely stupid stupid play????????

I'm dumbfounded by what this play was????? Hunter throwing across his body. McCall is just a moron, sorry, i know a few here think he is a genius.

 

[TheC]

Only Mick McCall can ruin a 5 star QB this way. This program can win ugly and that's better than nothing, but they aren't taking the next step forward until Fitz recognizes that offense matters in football these days.

 

[bringbacktherantboard]

The announcers said that McCall calls that "dash protection" as in "dash away from the chaos" protection. Our pass protection is so bad that we have a name for dashing away from it. We have a name for it. And as we just saw, that doesn't even work so well.

Yes, I think our O-line is still our weakest link. I'm sick of it.

 

[TejasCat]

Stanford is a very average team. Better get our act together could be a rough first 7 games.

 

[TejasCat]

At least Fitz keeps his good record in one-possesion games
