Anyone surprised we didn't know to get out of bounds and then called back to back plays in the middle of the field?

 

[HUD628]

Was that the worst defensive series of all time?

The defense quit when that bum kicker missed the fg

 

[BBG]

wow.. the o line couldn't contain 3 people.

 

[boiler_pride]

As usual terrible clock management by Hazell. Call a TO there when we're short of first down. And we throw an incomplete pass anyway.

2 TOs in our pocket with 14 seconds left. Great job, guys....

 

[boilerpt]

Every time I think I couldn't think less of this staff, they step up and trump their prior stupidity with even worse management of the game.

 

[TopSecretBoiler]

good teams don't make mistakes at the ends of halves. We are not a good team.

 

[BeerbellyBoiler]

Time to get serious about upgrades from OC/DC. Both have to go. There has to be better options out there.

You need to save one for a FG attempt.

defense should be getting an ass chewing but I doubt it. Individuals who screw up should be singled out and told to shape up or warm the bench
.

 

[jageh345]

I was optimistic a little on Hudson, but this defense can't tackle me let alone anyone else.

Who ever said Hudsons defense was good?

 

[Augie85]

it will be a real blow out next week at MSU .

 

[BeerbellyBoiler]

Who ever said Hudsons defense was good?

I don't think anyone thought it was good but too much negative attention is always applied to Shoop and offense. Time to recognize the defense isn't much better.

Hell we are not even a bad team, we are terrible! Anyone confident we will make the necessary halftime adjustments and turn this game around?

 

[Redhotfill]

Well we can't make 2 F#$#(!! yards in the red zone at home against Bowling Green!

 

[Augie85]

Blough looks awesome. huge mistake if they didn't see this long ago

 

[boilerpt]

Go for it.

 

[BBG]

Go for it.

Might as well... nothing to lose.

 

[HUD628]

Been good for a first start but he just missed 2 TDs to Yancey. Have to hit those

 

[boilerpt]

Yeah, you've got to wonder what they were seein at practice.

 

[BoilerBulldog]

Yeah, you've got to wonder what they were seein at practice.

I would love to hear Stacie's take but everything I heard from the spring and fall was that they were both very close and AA being the encumbent retained the spot.

 

[Augie85]

could he be the next Brees or Orton?

 

[BBG]

could he be the next Brees or Orton?

With a better OC... yes

 

[HUD628]

I say onside kick here.

 

[pboiler18]

Shoop looks marginal with an accurate QB.

It was also his fault we were playing AA tho.

 

[BoilerBulldog]

It's amazing how much better Shoop seems with a serviceable QB making plays.

 

[BoilerStutz]

Very close my you know what. It is not close at all. Appley never would have been in the position to slightly miss the touchdowns. Even Brees said Blough is me.

Get new coaches, get a few linemen, and let Blough go at it in future years. This offense could actually be fun.

 

[Heiner]

I say onside kick here.

Just told my wife the same thing

 

[Augie85]

finally a perfect tackle by whoever that was on the return defense

 

[uncleboiler]

could he be the next Brees or Orton?

 

[boilerpt]

One thing about the offense looking better...it really exposes how poor our defense is.

 

[uncleboiler]

"....could he be the next Brees or Orton?

You do realize he's going against one of the worst defences in the nation....next week reality will set in.

 

[threeeputtt]

Blough is 20/26 at this point, can pass downfield and more touch and accuracy plus faster on his feet. Can our coaches not see?

 

[pboiler18]

Will you just GTFO and cheer for IU? Thanks!

He's playing a bad defense, but he's making plays that we otherwise haven't made.

 

[HUD628]

Ok we have momentum. Take the lead by a TD here and score on every frickin possession for the rest of the game. Let's go

How many practices did you attend? If zero, how many reports can you find saying Blough was the clear choice?

So much for having the MO

 

[Boilerup60]

For such a "veteran" o line, they can't pass protect very well.

 

[pboiler18]

Knox has looked like hot garbage today. Why does he keep getting touches?

 

[HUD628]

Or just throw your opportunity straight into the toilet and flush. Boy, some o-line we have here lol
