^^it is pretty comical how bad we are in those situations. Sometimes is the decision making (deciding to be conservative instead of aggressive) and sometimes it’s just execution. This is a very red tinted take, so I dunno how accurate it is. But it feels like we never win that middle third of the game. 9/28/2024 1:55:12 PM |

In all yardage.
Playcalling is just mind-numbingly bad sometimes. Like we pick up Jordan Waters and our goal line play is to run a sweep with kc instead of power running. We throw to running backs instead of the wrs/joly. The coaches like to make things too complicated.]9/28/2024 2:55:11 PM |

Kinda woulda liked to see us not call the TO there. NIU seemed confused and scrambling. I guess we were equally confused. 9/28/2024 3:18:30 PM |

Others teams have skill position players that just make plays. We don’t. I think our skill position players are totally fine. Not elite. But definitely better than MAC level. But we need ballers. And our dudes that are supposed to be ballers just rarely actually ball 9/28/2024 3:22:06 PM |

I mean at this point, the offense under Dave is what it is. He's not going to have a gameplan that involves much vertical passing. He likes safe plays with the occasional dumbass wr pass thrown in to spice things up.
It's fine, it's just frustrating when the WR room gets hyped up all offseason and then we don't throw anything down the field. 9/28/2024 3:27:32 PM |

Yeah this is the part that is just dumb. Don’t spend all our NIL on RBs and WRs if you aren’t gonna give them chances to shine. Spend on OL and defense and just win like Iowa and other B1G teams.
If you want that to be your identity then get a killer OL and some big ass blocking TEs and run the fucking ball up the middle. We don’t even do that. We don’t even have an identity offensively.
Why go get Anae and tout his prolific offense at UVa if we aren’t even gonna come close to trying that

Damn. Havent shown any replays. I don’t think it was targeting, but his helmet came off. Probably hit his exposed head pretty hard on the field. 10/5/2024 12:34:41 PM |

He's a quarterback. Not a fullback! There's no reason to hit someone like that! 10/5/2024 12:36:15 PM |

Ooh boy Dave is going to have some questions to answer after this game. No idea why McCall was in, or why he would put himself in that position with that run.
Also, I’ve found the Deacons reaction after the fumble recovery AND subsequent TD to be completely classless 10/5/2024 12:39:49 PM |

dmspack oh we back 25462 Posts user info edit post |
^^ i agree that it’s a bad look. But we don’t even know if McCall’s original injury in the La Tech game was a head injury. So it’s kinda hard to second guess any of it without all the details. 10/5/2024 12:48:05 PM |

^^fair. Every reason I’ve heard for him being out (besides just poor play) was pointing to another head injury. That would be another question DD needs to answer - why was McCall out? 10/5/2024 12:55:12 PM |
dmspack oh we back 25462 Posts user info edit post |
Yeah the mystery/secrecy around the injury was another reason I assumed it was a head injury. I really just assume he was done for the year and Doeren was just playing coy with making any formal announcement about it 10/5/2024 12:59:27 PM |
