Bently HAS to make that sack. Completely changed the game. Would have been 4th and long from inside their own 10. Instead they drive for a TD.
Play of the game!!
- Thread starter takedownboiler
- Start date
However, it is nice to be able to point to a single play that turned the game against us. Years past we couldn't say that...especially against a team that will be top 10 all year.
Biggest bugaboo today was Blough and Sindelar made to look pretty pedestrian and not being able to establish any sort of effective running game. The dropoff from Jones/Fuller to the other RB's is pretty apparent when those other backs need to carry the full load.
Play of the game was us knocking Wilton out of the game. That changed their entire offense. There is no question who is better between Wilton and O'Korn.
Today's' game Brought back bad memories of leading ND and knocking out their first and second string QBs only to see their third string QB lead ND to an improbable victory on our home turf! After that game, he never looked back! His name? Joe Montana
I saw Fuller was knocked out - I guess before the Cubs' loss was finished - so I didn't see it. Is it serious?
B.S!
This crap has to stop.
The game lasted 4 flippin' quarters, and you're going to lay this at Bentley's feet?
What about the tipped incomplete pass early?
Or the penalties?
Or the no calls on the late hit/targeting in our end zone, possibly resulting in another TD? Or the blatant no call pass interference which would have given us substantial field position, sustained a drive and done who-knows-what?
Or the numerous missed tackles.
Or the dropped passes?
Or the passive play-calling when we could have been more aggressive?
Goodness, brother . . . to "call out" one specific player and write it as the "play of the game?"
Dude . . .
I get your point but missing that tackle was HUGE. I’m not blaming him...he had to be gassed.
Thanks for the information: Did he get banged up in practice or something? Didn't know he was going to be unavailable.
I’m as confused as you. It was news to me too. It was a huge loss. I think he’s clearly our best back.
I disagree. Many plays impact a game, but in my opinion, that play had the biggest impact in us losing the game. Make that sack and I think we win the game. It doesn't mean Bentley didn't make many other plays, he just missed that one.
No one is blaming Bently. But that was the biggest play of the game! Completely changed the outlook and momentum
He might have been able to help us today! I did a little digging and found out he was in a walking boot today - but not sure what happened. Hopefully it's just a sprain and he is back for the Minnesota game. I hope he is not out for an extended period.
Really?
That seemed to be the point of this thread.
Go back to the top. Maybe I'm missing something.
sorry but it was the play of the game. we were ahead and would have had great field position. instead, they marched down the field and went ahead 14-10. game over
Spin it any good want, but that play was the defining play that turned the game around.
BS. Spin it how you want, but the horrendous 3rd down conversion rate contributed as much as any single play on defense!
Goodness, folks, this game does not occur in a vacuum!
and a repeated failure to get a first down? with multiple opportunities? That gets a pass?
After three games I have seen way to many negative plays for the D because we seem to aim high when we tackle. Lots of QB's backs and receivers ducking and turning out of our grasp and we have enough targeting calls to last all season.
