Silver lining

[king_kong_]

Troll? If anyone thought that was an attempt at a serious post, or meant to get a reaction other than a laugh, our fan base is indeed dumber than Iowa fans. Laws help us

Ha!

Sorry. That post was meant for @moralvictories ’s thread

Now its the refs

We should not of been in that situation......fhe 2 million dollar kid taking back braking sacks

 

[Walleye79]

There is no silver lining. This loss in inexcusable. Total failure by Rhule and Co

 

[Dean Pope]

Pathetic shit show have you no lridw

If Always one more year or just one play they were mean didn't they know it was that time of the month? Meanies

Seems so out of character for you to be angry right now.

 

[B1G RED RULES]

Despite losing to a team that is truly awful, our loss puts us in a worse bowl against, hopefully, a worse team … hopefully, and therefore a lesser chance of losing, making us all feel super duper in the off-season.

The mission statement of Husker Football!

 

[Dean Pope]

Really

I would say so. They hadn't driven the ball on us all game long. Take out the 70 yard swing pass and Iowa doesn't get in the end zone.

You know i was hopefull until just after half....then fhe bad coaching decisions came home to roost. And let DR take those disastrous sacks with no consequences.

That's just it you knew what was coming....crusty Ole Ferentz just schooled rhule .

I guess we have that....for the love of ......we are doomed

If we make that short FG after the opening drive of the 2nd half, we probably win the game anyway. Or what about Nayor dropping a couple more key passes? At some point, guys have to make plays and stop helping the other team.

That's on the coaches if the are not making plays put some one else in.

We lost to the waterboy

 

[Meanfarmer3160]

And Iowa will get smoked.

I feel better already...... wish we had the waterboy.

 

[Meanfarmer3160]

I still believe the zebras got the punt ruling wrong but all things considered that cost us 3 points. It was and understandable mistake by our guy who finally touched it but I still think Iowa touched it first. Low snap cost us 3. The BIG play was the long run then of course Dylan’s second fumble of the night. Never mind the multiple open receivers he didn’t see or hit.

How about the sacks he took?

 

[Meanfarmer3160]

I don't know if he doesn't see them or isn't confident he can make the throw

He is scared like our HC

The problem is that shitty bowl teams play all of their players. The good teams have NFL-ready guys who will be prepping for the combine and pro days. Those guys won’t play in the bowl games.

 

[dinglefritz]

I’m surprised there hasn’t been more talk about the officiating. They were awful.

 

[Meanfarmer3160]

Get someone who can we are paying him 2 million...surly a confident qb who can hit the throws can manage the game us available.

 

[Champ_Kind_whammy]

Troll?

He likes to project.

Maybe so but it seems like every game its the refs. I just wish we could out play the refs.

 

[SLOHusker]

I’m surprised there hasn’t been more talk about the officiating. They were awful.

They didn't call anything. There was a blatant roughing the passer that should have been called on Iowa. Neyor got a hold of an Iowa DB's facemask though. Only thing he caught.

Maybe, but aren't they always awful??

Bingo yet they still trot him out there

At some point, excuses need to stop and games be won regardless

Usually they’ll make a call when a WR like Banks is tackled coming out of a break on a route. Iowa’s DB literally tackled Banks several times. The one time he caught the pass going to the ground with the DB wrapped around him.

 

[The_Man_Behind_The_Man]

That's right. Take away that one play and we still win the game.

Iowa ended with 164 total yards. 75 yards came on that ONE play

 

[dinglefritz]

And 3 or 4 guys were in position to stop that play.

Okay you're right but we always hinge on a play or two.....that's coaching

I know the old man played the long game and punked rhule.

 

[Meanfarmer3160]

I hate losing to Iowa and it's not a moral victory by any stretch, but we dominated most of the game. It's a good sign for the future. And if we win a bowl game and finish 7-6 heading into the off-season, it'll take a lot of the bitterness of this loss away. For me anyway.

That's just it we are mentally weak when it counts.........doesn't matter if you win everything all year . Lose the last game and your still a loser.

 

[MissoulaHusker]

That's right. Take away that one play and we still win the game.

Let’s face it. A lot of these upper classmen have found ingenious ways to lose over in crunch time the last few years. Let’s not discount their creativity.

 

[ckriley]

The silver lining for me is hoping this game shows Rhule that all is not well. He has 3-4 assistants that absolutely must be fired

The head coach is the problem. Matt Rhule is not the one.

 

[SickOfPractice]

The silver lining for me IS that we get another game to play. A win in a bowl game, regardless of the opponent, will be another small step in the right direction.

Had that Iowa loss prevented us from bowl eligibility again this year I would be in a much more foul mood.
