ranco said:Hoping for better but I still think 7-4 is most likely - still have the 2016 collapse in the back of my mind.
However, as with PR I reserve right to change my prediction after a few games or perhaps after 11 games.
There isn't a single game outside of Washington that isn't winnable. Also, I feel more comfortable with Jensen as a backup than I did with Chalich or Simis. And you can count the number of games our QB was "on and rock solid" on one hand, and we won more games than that.poorgriz said:AZDoc said:get'em_griz said:I'm still sticking with 8-3.
My guess earlier was 8-3 as well. A lot of factors to take into account...injuries included. I feel that 10-1 isn't out of the question just as PR says, but what if there is a rain game? Or a few too many Pick-6s? That costly fumble in our own territory on a kick return? I'd love 10-1, but 8-3 is a solid season and hopefully keeps this going.
Ya, 10-1 just flat out isn't happening for you guys. Don't forget about the QB problem. When your #1 goes down for a few games as they always do in Stitt's system the rust will be evident and the timing won't be there and you'll lose games because of it. As you all know - the team goes as the QB goes in that system. If the QB isn't "On" and rock solid you lose. That's the history of Stitt's offense and it has never changed.

My favorite on was where someone over there said he thinks the cats are more talented than WSU and North Dakota and that the coach is sandbagging the talent to set them up quoted below:George Ferguson said:poorgriz said:AZDoc said:get'em_griz said:I'm still sticking with 8-3.

Agree, just like the predictions of a +14 win at UND, and the quote "It will never be closer than that" on BN ain't happening either lol.

I am now convinced that Stitt must've screwed your wife, sister, or boyfriend. Maybe all 3. You seem disgruntled or infatuated with him and it's eerie. Is this Gregorak??
So give us your high and mighty prediction for your kittens Ty.

"A lot would need to go wrong for MSU to lose to both UND and WSU. MSU is a more talented team (vastly in some areas). Choate's sandbagging only makes that talent stand out further. "

You guys will lose a game where 95% of you predicted a win, and a bunch of us will giggle while logging on to the site, and you will be melting down.

I don't know why you guys even read that site. No doubt we have more than our share of nut jobs on this board. But that place is on an entirely nuther level.

Here's my prediction--book it: Both QB's may end up injured, but our #1 QB will play more snaps this season than Murray--You've got a guy who is going to carry it 20+ times a game and you think OUR QB is at risk??? That literally makes NO sense.

It's simply a numbers game. Stitt is dead set on achieving that high play count. That leads to literally thousands more snaps for your players when you consider the number of games and practices in a season. The more snaps you run, the higher likelihood injury. Regarding Murray, you won't see many designed QB running plays this year. Sounds like his passing is much improved and based on the 2 scrimmages, he's pass first and doing an excellent job of going through his reads. Granted, it's nice to know he can take off at any time and probably take it to the house. Apparently black Jesus mentoring him has paid huge dividends. Now that you guys have mobile QBs I bet you end up with about the same number of QB run plays.

Vs. Valpo - Win. Agreed
@ Washington - Hard L, it will not be pretty Agreed. I just hope we don't lose key people here.
Vs. Savannah State - Win Agreed
Vs. EWU - L, they're pretty good, and coming off a national semifinal appearance. Even thought it's at home, and they lost their coach, it will be close but not in our favor. Agreed
@ Portland State - Win Agreed but a loss here would not shock me in the least. #roadwoes
@ Idaho State - Win Agreed
Vs. North Dakota - Win, really looking forward to this game. Disagree. I think the Griz drop this one.
@ Weber State - Loss, gotta have a random road loss somewhere, and after a win streak, this seems like a Likely snap
Vs. NAU - Win Agreed. Griz usually play nau well at home
Vs. NoCo - Win, I mean come on. Agreed
@ Montana State - Win, but I don't feel comfortable calling it. Agreed
So that puts us at 8-3 (6-2) on the year. Get to the playoffs, make second round. After last year. Let's just get back to winning.
