Start Purdy

[king_kong_]

I’ll give him that the decision to have Grant in the game was a coaching mistake. I’m guessing they wanted a guy in the game who could go 60 to win the game in regulation.

We were already winning when grant fumbled

His scholarship should be revoked

 

[JOHNNY N]

Why was a known fumbler allowed on the field in crunch time?
Why even float the notion about Sims being an NFL guy?

Very valid questions.

Please don't be the coach that blows smoke up our asses.

Fool us once…

Rhule is a smoke blower

What do you call it when you say one thing and then do another?

I call it lying

The old adage goes - you can’t ******** a bullshitter. Nobody bullshits more than me. This guy’s full of it until his actions prove otherwise

 

[JOHNNY N]

Nobody bullshits more than me.

We're aware

 

[redfanusa]

Rhule has built losers into winners more than any other coach we've ever had except Bob Devaney. But apparently he forgot how to coach football.

 

[Mr.Scary13]

We don’t have Palmer for him to throw it to. Sims picked up a lot of yardage with his feet. Hard to say if CT would have made a difference.

I'm not talking about CT....

Justin Evan’s-Jenkins played some guard last night. He’s going to be a stud at center. I’ll worry about next year next year.

Ok

 

[HuskerBruce81]

Rhule is a control freak. My gut tells me the RB rotation and play calling gets fixed quickly. He had a WTH look on his face on a couple of play calls but he couldn’t burn a timeout to change them. We HAVE to do what he said we were going to do. We need to be a downhill run team. It worked with Ervin last night.

You're right. We don't need to bench Sims. We need to utilize him properly. He's never playing QB in the NFL. RUN THE DAMN BALL

 

[BleedRed78]

Another year, different coaches, same results. I want to be excited about the Husker season, but after one game I can see that we are not going to exceed expectations. Again.

If you told me before the game that we were going to lose by 3, I would have been disappointed but fine. But it’s how we lost. Up late, in control. But turnovers and play calling doom us yet again. Close your eyes, and you could see this being a Frost team.

Unlike Frost, I bet Rhule doesn't let grant back in the game anymore lol

 

[SnohomishRed]

So many mind numbingly stupid coaching decisions in that game. And by a coach we were told was an upgrade. And where was this vaunted fullback we were told was back in our offense? Rhule’s coaching decisions last night have put a huge dent in my confidence in him. The Rhule aid has turned sour.
Just one game! That is what folks will say. Don’t overreact!
Looks like the same old **** to me. Not overreacting at all. Same Nebraska I have watched for 8 years. And all this for 9 million a year! Purdy won’t change anything. He is awful.
I won’t be watching next week. I have an offer to go fishing on Lake Erie for walleye. No brainer.

Well said I will not watch another game until they have proven they are worth watching. Right now no change from same crap they have been in last 8 years

 

[SLOHusker]

We’ve seen Purdy and he’s put together some good drives. If he’s better at minimizing boneheaded plays, that would go a long way to getting wins. If Rhule is set in Sims, fine, bring him along slowly and don’t compromise getting to a bowl game.

Purdy is a year more experienced and he is a better passer than we saw last night. Yes, Sims' legs are a weapon but opposing defenses will just stack the box knowing are passing game is not a threat.

JFC. The only 2 plays that cost us were the FALSE STARTS inside the 5. We dont have those we win easily. Loss is not on the coaches. Some of you need to grow the @#$% up!!

Geezus man and QB play. My God he is/was terrible. I've middle school QBs look off receivers more the the narrow vision sims

 

[skers12_rivals79800]

Being a fan is supposed to have fun parts. Having an idiot for a QB is not fun. Rhule let Casey Thompson leave, brought in Jeffy Sims, and let Donovan stay? Idiot. Trev brought in this idiot and didn't even bother to call Urban Meyer. Trev is also an idiot. If I wanted to watch idiots on TV I would watch CSPAN. But again, there will be zero accountability for theses overpaid underachievers.

Passing. Running he is legit!!

 

[AvonLakeHusker]

Is J Sims the reincarnation of the Martinez's?
Can't win with him - turnover machine
Can't win without him - he was the entire offense
Let's call him J-Mart

The 4th quarter made me want to puke. Different year same script. Did we fire Frost really or is he still the shadow coach?

Amazing how the game looked EXACTLY like a Scott Frost team.

I'm guessing it's going to take 2+ years to get rid of the culture Frost created.

Coaches were also the ones that called the hurry up on the 1 yard line.

You don’t see that often for a reason.

I mean you're right, but they didn't tell him to jump offsides. Bottom line, other than coming out and throwing 3 straight times in the 4th quarter I thought the coaches did a really good job. Also, didn't Minn. score 10 points AFTER T-Rob was ejected?? I think that hurt us defensively. Last 2 drives we had 2 True Freshmen on the D-line. Giff has to make that INT too. This loss is all on the players.
