Coaching and play calling was horrible the whole game. So predictable. I knew when we got the ball back with the lead with 4:30 minutes left we would run it twice up the middle and be forced to a 3rd and long, punt, and then lose the game, and sure enough that is exactly what happened.
We didn't play to win. We played not to lose.

I think I need to watch something as a "pick me up".
Supergirl on Netflix? Eh, perky enough, but the lack of chemistry between the cast members hurts it.
Gotham? It has it's moments, but, it's still Batman's city. Without Batman.
Flash? Literally just finished season 2. While a damn good show, just need a break from it.
Arrow? It's a green Batman.
I know! Flashpoint Paradox! Where Flash goes back in time to save mommy, but ends up creating a living hell on Earth, because of Butterfly Effect! Then goes back in time again, and creates New 52, which has completely bastardized several characters and/or their origins. Perfect!

So, sure defense gave up some big plays, but they also got stops and turnovers despite being on the field way more than they should have needed to. So I'll give defense a pass on this one. Not their fault that the offense coughed up the ball at bad times... on top of that, a majority of our points came from them.
In short - I'm okay with how our defense played, but pissed at our "offense."

Gentry fumble in 1st half was a back breaker. That was at least a 10 point swing.

So I'm going to disagree. I too am extremely disappointed. But I think the opposite. Our O-line and D-line were completely dominated. I thought this was Bohl's strength. But their qb had all day to throw and Allen's pocket collapsed faster than he could set up in it. Number 72 on our Oline was getting beat all night. He's protecting Allen's blind side and guys are running around him like he wasn't there. Honestly, except qb and rb, I would take their talent over ours any day.

Well, I guess it depends on how you define progress. The talent I think is ahead of what it was a year or even two years ago. Talent alone doesn't win games though. Play calling was pretty original. Execution wasn't there (there is really no excuse for procedure penalty at the goalline and block FG).
But I think we frequently overlook the fact that this the third straight year that we are starting a first year started at QB. Now I think Allen is the best of that bunch, but the line, WR, and RB probably have a hard time getting adjusted to a new QB year after year, the coordinators probably have a hard time creating a gameplan around a new QB year after year, and our offense is prone to rookie mistakes year after year. I know to some degree Bohl really couldn't help the QB situation, but to some degree he maybe could have too. Perhaps I'm wrong, maybe is more systemic than that, but I just don't know how you can be built to last with that type of turnover at the most important position in football.

Fair enough. Position by position probably true. Collectively defense and offense I would take ours over theirs, Allen, Hill, Gentry, Wingert, Others, etc. we do have some studs. We shouldn't have lost that game. Two pick sixes, 4 total pix. No way.bladerunnr said:

I thought the offense was supposed to be a strength this year? The offense was outscored 24-0 over the last 39 minutes of the game. The offense was only able to squeeze out 10 points against Eastern Michigan? Seriously?
We won the turnover stat +2 and had 2 defensive scores and lost. Let that sink in for a minute.

F BLM? I'll say it. Those guys are misguided in all things .

Through the first 3 games, I thought our offensive line had looked better than last year, but tonight they were worked over every single play. EMU could rush 3 and get pressure.
How also is our defense able to get stops on first and second down, but then regardless of the distance, on every 3rd down game after game after game, there are wide open recievers.
Had it not been for 2 pick 6's I think we would lose that game by at least 21. So much for any confidence going into CSU. Now it feels more like a limping in hoping to not get whipped.
