2ND HALF GAME THREAD

[Mr.Scary13]

It's cringey when people say we have more talent than a team beating us by 40+...I don't see much talent, other than a raw DR. This team is so bereft of talent, I'm not even sure where to start, every position needs a giant talent upgrade, most notably on the lines and LB....guys were just embarassing today.

The set of skill guys may be the worst Nebraska has ever had. No running back on the team is worth a shit and for all the talk about our wideout room, we've had much better over the last 20 years.

 

[19Football19]

What are talking about? We’ve been in the top half of Big 10 recruiting year after year. Way higher than anything Indiana has done.

Ok, I’ll try again. As Indiana plays their backups and stops us and will go down and prob score. Name me an athletic 4* that panned out? We take whoever others don’t. And our 3* and big ol white dudes. Maybe your tv is black and white.

 

[The_Man_Behind_The_Man]

Having DR on this team is like owning a Mercedes when you live in a cardboard box.

Sad but true!

 

[rchrisreade]

We are just saving up our good stuff for next week against Ohio State. (Swiftian satire I promise you).

 

[Joedaly]

We scored as much as FIU on Indiana. Indiana is going to cover the 49.5 all by themselves.

 

[Husker4lyfe15]

Not sure how to articulate this but year and year out it seems every big 10 we play is more disciplined, bigger in the trenches, bigger skill players etc etc. it’s like a never ending cycle that we cant seem to overcome no matter what we try or do

 

[drubendall]

We should probably fire our teenage WR coach as well. Lazy routes all day long.

I’ve been worried about this all year. I wonder if his guys really respect him. When’s the last time we saw a coach laying into a player on the sidelines? There’s no way he can pull that off.

 

[dinglefritz]

Why do we have no quick passing game? We don't have time for slow developing plays that will only get DR killed.

Our backers are not good. It’s why Shavers a true freshman, started. He’s made mistakes.

I don't think Satt could get out of his own way if he was calling plays for the '07 Patriots

 

[Sodakred]

Banks was mugged!

Good! Several of our players need to be mugged and Woody Hayes and Frank Kush are dead, so they can’t help out.

 

[brnred]

We will soon be 5-3. That is average. Improvement of the years of 3-4 or 2-5. Or 1-6 like frosts first year

Average teams don't lose 49-7, that's below average,way below.

UTEP Beat FIU. We suck worse than UTEP.

Not a fan of Satt, but it doesn't take away that our skill guys are lousy

 

[rchrisreade]

Who was that guy on Indiana who just dropkicked the ball? I did not think Indiana had one of those on their team.

 

[Zeke2005]

Average teams don't lose 49-7, that's below average,way below.

We also won a game 40-7, that’s above average, way above. So between those 2 games you get average result

Banks put up, what, 1,200 yards the last 2 years?

everyone will look like shit so long as we're content dragging that ugly, chinless, inbred-looking anchor around

I feel like you’re making my point. We’ve had nice recruiting classes on a yearly basis for quite some time and we are getting worked by their backups.

So we just miss out on every player we recruit? Or maybe our coaches suck and aren’t developing them well, not scheming well etc..

Again, we will see what you say 2 years from now.

They have hired shit for the last 20 years. Good coaching can overcome this if we make the right choice in 2-3 years when Matt is let go.

It’s not size. Our edge and linebackers are bad against the run especially. Our freshman QB is swimming in it. His unwillingness to pull it down and run or throw deep is allowing defenses to Tee off on him.

This.

And I know it's ultimately Rhules fault.

But (talking older guys playing, not necessarily young true frosh)

Oline mostly all suck
WRs suck
RBs are mid
LBs are slow as ****
DBs suck.

 

[Zeke2005]

Time to invest time in the future get the young guys out there

 

[yort2000]

What is Dylan still doing in there?

 

[Champ_Kind_whammy]

So THAT's why they chose to punt it

 

[Chief Wiggum]

We are literally cursed...Sims somehow knows how to not turn the ball over now...

He needs to set his feet. He needs a lot of footwork. Of course when you have no time to throw or set your feet, it is hard.

Yep

Why is he still in the game JFC

 

[Wasker77]

Need to write something positive. 13 has been doing a great job catching punts this year.

 

[Joedaly]

We need real proven coaches, not friends or guys Rhule think might have potential.

 

[The_Man_Behind_The_Man]

I was hoping for a different result, but sadly, not surprised by this one. I’m not surprised anymore when NU plays lot hot garbage.

IU is better than I gave them credit for. I’m afraid the opposite is true of Nebraska - whatever ‘credit’ NU was getting was not deserved.

This program has lost its mental toughness. It is not just Rhule because we’ve seen this through several coaching regimes…when things go bad it really snow balls.

Yep the entire state has gone soft. That's why the football program needs to go.

him pulling it down will never make up for the fact we have zero desire to commit to any sort of power run game whatsoever

what Satt and Uncle Donnie (and by proxy Rhule) are doing to DR should be prosecutable

 

[brnred]

We also won a game 40-7, that’s above average, way above. So between those 2 games you get average result

And who was that against !

 

[dinglefritz]

What is Dylan still doing in there?

I’m guessing they’re trying to have him regain some confidence against IU’s backups 😕

 

[Suhrreal]

Did we seriously turn the ball over AGAIN while I was typing out my last post?

 

[frostonthegrass]

What is Dylan still doing in there?

Throwing picks

 

[mgbreis]

Why the **** is Raiola still playing? It’s not about protecting him. It’s just stupid. There’s nothing to be gained here, this entire team has quit.

 

[dinglefritz]

This isn’t Donnie. I’m not happy with the play calling. We called pass plays on every first down in the third quarter. 😕

 

[headcard]

One of the weakest roughing calls in history. Of course.

 

[king_kong_]

This isn’t Donnie. I’m not happy with the play calling. We called pass plays on every down in the third quarter. 😕

donnie is the run game coordinator. and the OL coach.

we have no run scheme. and an atrocious OL.

sorry - his fat, I'm-just-here-becuase-of-my-last-name fingerprints are all over this.

 

[V-Doub]

We should probably fire our teenage WR coach as well. Lazy routes all day long.

Never should’ve hired him in the 1st place. People bashed me when I said that 2 years ago, but it was one of the most predictable bad hires ever. You just can’t put someone that young in charge of something that important. I’ve had to hire and fire people myself. And 20 year olds are ALAWYS (without exception) bad at their jobs. Some might be impressive compared to other 20 year olds. But I’ve never once seen a 20 something be superior to someone in their 30s/40s/50s who’ve done the job for 10-30 years. I’ve never once seen that in my 40+ years of professional life.

 

[shine003]

I would normally agree with playing him as we clearly need experience and to get better. But it’s obvious we quit. It’s almost like Rhule is sending a message that he won’t quit. Idk. I don’t like it
