So vacation them or ban them. I'm sick of reading all that repetitive garbage and I'm sure I'm not alone.
Agreed. It would be nice if some people would leave the past in the past and focus on the now and the future.
Whatever happened to attack the post NOT the poster? or do renegade mods get exceptions when they don't agree with a comment?Are you a 13 year old who plays Madden? That certainly would explain your behavior. The way you prance around the board taking victory laps after our losses, relishing in our misery.99.5% chance of winning that game. All they have to do is run the clock down. Easy. Illinois has no timeouts remaining. They could've taken a knee. And they call a play from the playbook which includes an option to pass. But they somehow supposedly communicated (smoke signals??) to Tommy that the pass option was off the table for this one time special case. And you're defending this idiocy?Do you know that's the reason they didn't call a pass? You must have some great insights. It's easy to sit here five days later second guessing the play calls, and spitballing about what they should have called instead. You remind me of a poster a few years back who said: "Why don't they just call plays that work?"I would think someone named Nuance would be able to see the subtle differences between the two situations.Ha ha! Last week when Langsdorf tried to be creative with a QB bootleg which went awry Husker fans almost strung him up at the nearest cottonwood. This week he calls three established running plays and Husker fans are again eyeing that cottonwood.
Somebody put it best last week: They ran the right plays in the in the wrong weeks!
Besides that, it's pretty sad that the coaches let fan reactions to a certain play call affect future play calls. Really? they wouldn't consider a pass at the wnd of the Wiscy game because fans were too upset with the pass against the Illini???
In the Wiscy game, it's completely different. They know they need a first down to ice the game or give Wiscy the ball back with over a minute to play. They didn't even try for a 1st down. They did what they SHOULD have done the previous week (in a completely different situation.) They didn't need to pass, but three straight up the gut is pretty much guaranteed NOT to get a 1st down against Wiscy.
I can't believe I even need to explain this crap. 13 year old kids playing Madden would've called the correct plays in BOTH situations 99% of the time.
While there is truth in what you say as it is always easy to be the QB the Monday morning after, there are still basic fundamentals involved in 'play calling'. Calling plays is somewhat art as much as science really. But, you still have to use good judgement based on ALL the facts and circumstances of the game as then existing. Each and every play of a football game is like the next move in a chess game. Frank solich was a checkers player attempting to play chess. Against other checkers players, Frank often did OK. Callahan was a clear chess player but he liked to use his knights and Queen and wasted his pawns often to no apparent advantage. Osborne was extremely careful and played the games almost the same way every time with basic strategies that all who watched recognized. He never cared for finesse - he overwhelmed with brute force.A lot of peoples' opinions on play calling has to do with the results. At Illinois, if Tommy leads Ozigbo on that pass and he makes the first down off of it, people would have been praising the guts of Riley and Langsdorf. Against Wisconsin, if the blocking were more favorable and Cross/Jano punch the ball for a first down, everyone would have praised them then as well. It all depends on results, and when the results aren't favorable, all the armchair coaches emerge with the "If I was coach, we'd have..." garbage.It's so freaking stupid it makes me want to literally smack the dumb f'ers that do this. These coaches have no chance of pleasing these people, not a chance. It's not anything to do with what happens on the field. They've got their mind made up already, they probably already had their minds made up in December when their beloved BoBo got canned and they pledged allegiance that they would hate whoever replaced him, as a display of respect and jock-riding love for their beloved nostril flaring jacka$$.Ha ha! Last week when Langsdorf tried to be creative with a QB bootleg which went awry Husker fans almost strung him up at the nearest cottonwood. This week he calls three established running plays and Husker fans are again eyeing that cottonwood.
weird, I don't see anything trollish about that personal opinion. Actually seems to be the same thing I'm hearing on a lot of the talk shows as well. Whereas NUance's comments are blatantly a personal attack.
Dude, if you haven't noticed GBRednecks nonsense over the past week then good for you.
