There's a difference between did the SCREW US or did they mess up a call. Yes, they messed up a call, maybe two.

But there are actually people on this board that truly think the refs and league are out to get us and screw us on purpose lol.

It’s sad because those people can also vote… scary.

You trust that defense? No excuses the game plan and coaching were absolutely horrid Elflein can't snap the dang ball, it's almost like Rhules clown show of a oline competition denied them continuity.

That's what we are built on right?? Most of our stars are supposed to be on defense right?? Thats where all the top picks are... After the fumble snap I would have played it the same way.. Run the clock down as much as you can.. Make them drive the field against the defense..

Not a bad idea if you don’t telegraph what you are doing by having Baker under center. While Elflein did have one bad snap when Baker was in shotgun, most of his snaps were much better when Baker was in shotgun rather than under center.

Not to mention, the ball has to be snapped regardless of if it’s a run or pass. Elflein still had to snap the ball two more times when they ran McCaffrey right up Elflein’s backside.

If they were running a RPO.. Taking a snap under Center is the better fake.. right??

Doesn’t have to be RPO, a delayed draw could have been highly effective in that scenario. Hell, you can even run a jet sweep in that situation with D.J.

That whole instance was horribly managed.

The talent is there IMO the hairbrained college scheme is not.... But I digress I really just don't care until the fhule is gone.

Could have been but if they faked the run up the middle and hit the slant.. That was open because the defense was setting up for the run up the middle..

Well yeah, but that would require the staff to put the ball in the air which they obviously didn’t want to do. Just really hated the play calls on that last series. Just seemed way too conservative, the type of conservative we used to blast Rivera for.

Again we don't know after the fumble snap.. That fumble snap probably messed up all plans of going for the throat..

Could have been, but then we as fans can ask why Bozeman is sitting on the bench.. which is another coaching blunder. And there are still relatively safe play calls like sweeps and screens that aren’t as easily defendable as to inside draws.

    • I'm probably one of those posters, but I make those posts because there are too many things going on that don't make sense. For instance, how does a RB that does something that hasn't been done in 14 years immediately get reverted back to 2nd string, and it takes a leadership council to make him the starter when he's averaging 3x the YPC? Your average fan shouldn't be screaming that for 2 weeks before the coach sees it. And that's one of many.  What you're seeing is frustration that we could be better, that we should be better, if our owner, FO, and coaches could do things that are so painfully obvious to even the most basic fan 
    • Cowboys. Patriots. Couldn't ask for two bigger villains.
    • I think we're all struggling with what things are right now and what they have been. It's like getting ready to have bandages removed after a long period of injury. The healing, the new growth, they aren't going to be pretty, there's going to be some ongoing issues for a while at best and there's every chance that we're going to have to go back into the bandage situation all over again. And that sucks. But it's also a place where maybe, just maybe, the recovery is going to finally start happening. The bad days will be getting behind us.  It's not going to happen this year, but I believe from what I see that this year is showing that improvement. We focus on the QB because that's what all the pundits focus on, because it's the flashiest and most heralded position on the field. No one wants to put out a tweet about how a center is holding down their job and anchoring a line. They rarely celebrate that blocking tight end or special teams gunner. That fourth CB on the depth chart? Not a mention. And yet, those guys are the kind that we've been building here, we're building the lunch pail guys AND finding some future stars.  Is Bryce one of them? Might be a cornerstone of the team in the future as the second QB, might somehow just show out to end the season. Might flame out like many expect. But if that uncertainty is all we concentrate on, we're just going to miserably look at this team and maybe miss out on some solid green shoots that are finally beginning to poke through into the sunlight.
