Haha. You’re funny. Watched the game with 2 former Neb National Champions and Academic All Americans. I guess none of us know a god damned thing about football. You are right - we are wrong. End of conversation.
Am I the only one not sold on DR?
- Thread starter CanuckChuck
- Start date
I thought the refs picking up the unsportsmanlike conduct flag was bad - huge break for BC, but didn’t matter
Thx. Maybe I’ll look into it.Hey they are hiring . You’d make a great B1G official ..
Not a big crew but nice try. You just proved that these post cannot be taken seriously. WOW I thought yesterday was bad. You are just doubling down
Hahahaha .. this ain’t the 90s brother. I agree that wouldn’t be called in the 90s. Learn the rules dork
I have friends that played pro football and they said it was the right call.
We all know the current roles. One individual breaks down the god damned game every week. At best the call wasn’t black and white. It was iffy (at best). Dork? Ok. Whatever. You’re probably in your 50s or 60s calling a person on a sports posting board a “dork”. That’s a bit wild and wacky.
"Nothing they could have done to avoid it", even if true, is not a standard applied in any other penalty situation.
Team has 12 men break the huddle with a defender running at full speed off the field. QB runs a hurry-up snap and catches that defender on the field 3 feet from the sideline.
There was absolutely nothing that defender could have done to prevent the penalty. In fact, he was doing absolutely everything in his power to prevent it. But he broke a rule and was penalized.
Same with a defensive back playing tight coverage on an underthrown ball. Receiver going up the sideline unexpectedly breaks straight back to the QB right through the DB. Defensive back does everything in his power to avoid the impending collision, but can't change his momentum and both players end up on the turf with a DPI hanky in the air. Happens all the time.

I do too. The friend I talked to that blocked for Barrry Sanders for 5 years thought it was a bad call. Everyone has opinions.
And they error on the side of caution with the qb for years. So easy to watch a replay slowed down and say bad call. Which the play was simultaneous. With the slide and defender launching. That will be flagged every time in live game action.
Kid led with his shoulder and Dylan slid. Had he reached his arms out to tackle, there wouldn’t have been a flag.
You realize if it was a Nebraska defender he would have been flagged for targeting! Now move along back to your kkk rally in Iowa city
I never called you any names. Just completely disagree with what you are saying.
Iowa City? You do realize I helped start this site from day 1 right? A lot of blood, sweat and tears from an Iowa fan. I used to get up at 3am to interview Isaiah Fluellen in Germany. KKK rally? So my opinion says I’m a racist and an Iowa fan? JC

He has plenty of talent.
He has to get better though in a lot of areas like most freshman.

Do you ask the cops " Do you know who my friends are?" when you get pulled over for speeding?
No. I ask them “Do you know I post on a board with a man that goes by the alias of Tuco Salamanca?” That usually gets me out of trouble.
Hey - how about that comparison of Humm and Tagge vs Frazier’s passing #s? You gonna look it up or do you want me to? You compared rushing but not passing. I compared both with AM and DR freshman numbers. Looking for an Apples to apples comparison.
I think he has a legitimate argument and he’s hardly a dork. He’s infinitely more qualified to comment on football than most of us.
Has anyone tried a Slngshot band to assist with push-ups and bench press? After shoulder surgery, I can’t do normal bench. It appears the Slingshot would assist the shoulders at the point of greatest load…but I fear it would be too much help and cancel some benefits.

Congratulations. You’re the new public enemy #1. 🤣. My problem with officials usually is just that it’s so inconsistent. It all happens super fast in P5 football and humans are going to make mistakes but man we seem to come up on the short end of the stick too many times on game changing penalties and no calls
I used to own an upper body weight machine. Sold it before I moved the last time. Had shoulder surgery a few months ago and wish I still had that thing.
DR’s accuracy in the short/mid-range throws is very good and he has a big arm. But he is not at all accurate throwing deep. I hope they have him throwing hundreds and hundreds of deep passes this winter. He has to be able to hit on the deep ball, especially those times his WR gets behind the defense. IMO, other than continuing to improve on reading defenses, connecting on the deep throw is one area where we really need him to get better to reach the next level.
you seem pretty confident Walleye. Why don’t you post your real name for all to see if so confident? I have.
You will note that I have “liked” both sides of this argument. This call was a judgement call made at full speed without the benefit that we have of slow motion. Lots of people I respect thought that was an iffy call. The problem for me is that we normally don’t get iffy calls so I’ll take it even if it was a borderline call. God knows we’ve had probably a dozen PI calls or no calls that weren’t right go against us this year. These things shouldn’t descend to personal attacks.
I really hope Raiola works on his speed and agility this off-season and becomes a real running threat when scrambling. I feel there's a lot of first downs we just left on the table because he doesn't scramble and run much
We don’t have enough time in the day to go back to games lost by Adrian Martinez.
Sure thing he has some baby fat to drop and replace with muscle, but knowing when to pull the ball and snag QB run yardage is either instinctual or a honed skill. As the RB run game improves in the overall, QB run opportunities will increase.
That doesn’t make it a bad call. The refs called it as the rule is written. Change the rule I don’t care but in regards to yesterday it was the correct call.
So are you saying that Martinez didn't cost Nebraska any games his freshman year, that he was only able to get 4 wins, while Raiola costing his team multiple games was still able to lead them to a bowl game and 7 wins? That is your argument for Martinez having the better season?
Im not sold at all.
But gladly willing to go into next year with him to see.

DR15's DAD didn't like the call against his own son?! That's cold. Why wasn't Dominic at the Pinstripe Bowl in person?
***Their careers never overlaped, well I'll be.***
Willing to bet you can find clips of every quarterback in CFB looking bad at times.
