What was Jones DOING????

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Jones? What are you thinking, there......it's contagious now.

 

[DAG10]

And, nearly a third

 

[TX4GB]

Methodical drive for a score before halftime.

 

[GoldandBlackintheSaddleAgain]

WfTFFTFFSSSFF???? ya doin

What was Jones DOING????

It hit Minnesota first. Jones has a free shot to pick up the ball. At worst, it's our ball where they touched it.

 

[DAG10]

I can't even understand what he was trying to do there...made no sense at all to do anything...never should have been near the ball even, much less thought about doing anything with it

 

[purduepat1969]

Is our special teams cursed??

 

[Chi-Boiler]

As I said, Jones is the only one that knows the rules. And me I guess.

 

[TopSecretBoiler]

Hit Minnesota on the way down. Still dumb by Charlie.

 

[decontain]

Man it irks me the lack of tackle discipline in our secondary. That should be coachable. The frequency in which are our guys just* “pop” and bounce off runners/receivers without wrapping them up is appalling. Very amateur and tough to watch.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Everyone not knowing the rules of football there. Except Jones.

I thought that was just NFL rules.....mea culpa......and Boilerepherine.

I did not see that admittedly, and, if so, at least that makes sense.

No you can't assume the refs saw that.

You NEVER put the refs in a position to make a bad call regardless. What if he thought it had been touched, but wasn't?

I missed that it hit a Minnesota guy...

A lot of people seem to not understand football. That was a smart play by Jones. No matter what happens on the play, Purdue can always take it at the spot it hit the Minny player.

It's a no-lose situation.

Super smart. Although the refs probably don’t know the rule either.

That's close to an unsolvable equation when you factor in Big Ten officials.

 

[TopSecretBoiler]

oh yes...it can be.

 

[DAG10]

Just don't do anything dumb here...run some clock, move the ball...ideally, get some points

 

[Chi-Boiler]

No you can't assume the refs saw that.

Then it gets reviewed. It was very clear.

 

[purduepat1969]

Why are we running to the short side of the field?

 

[DAG10]

Man, QUIT throwing into coverage

 

[DAG10]

Why are we running to the short side of the field?

Somewhere, Danny Hope has the answer for you...

 

[TX4GB]

That was bad

 

[purduepat1969]

Bad, bad series...

 

[DAG10]

Is it just me, or, do the Minnesota guys look like complete tools running around with their hands up signaling 4th down for as bad as they have been at times?

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Not a good exchange with field position - defense needs to step up again.

 

[DAG10]

Bad, bad series...

REALLY bad...have to keep Minnesota from getting points here before the half

 

[Chi-Boiler]

Asking a lot

 

[bonefish1]

D is playing well enough. Minny making mistakes. Purdue offense not belong.

 

[DAG10]

How is Taylor still on the field?

 

[Boiler8285]

Everyone not knowing the rules of football there. Except Jones.

Special teams continue to suck. Consistency is good.

Asking a lot

yep and offense playing like a walk-on QB behind a lousy OL.

 

[purduepat1969]

Another missed tackle...

 

[DAG10]

Taylor needs to have his eyes checked...

 

[Chi-Boiler]

What's the review? I don't have sound

 

[BSIT]

FIFY

IU players on steroids. Tic
