Is this on the "Simpson" scale?

I would add hurries and sacks are what helped fuel a lot of those turnovers!

Kinda like griz fans saying we're almost 7-0. Or crapping on a team because they are 8-0 because they have played a weak schedule and made everyone look bad.“literally almost”
Such a bubcatz thing to say

No not at all. Not even sure what you are saying which is the real point.
You bubcatz struggle with reading and writing and understanding simple words like “literally”
Until the bubs play someone even APPROACHING that level they're absolutely pretenders. Especially after the way the GRIZ blasted them into kingdom come and then they lost their first playoff game.

I think the bobcats have a really potent offense that is on par with those teams. However, their defense isn't close. NDSU was able to stay in the game with Colorado who has loads more firepower on offense than anything the cats can offer.

You guys couldn't beat a down NDSU team last year, you will get trucked by either of the Dakota teams.
Reminds me of good ol MTHoops/PR talking about the quality of games that were almost won.

Losing is losing. Almost ain’t mean shit.
Serious question though.
Who in the FCS is approaching that level?
I don’t think anybody is. They’re on a separate tier.
No argument.

I to am optimistic, but the defense needs to find another gear. They have not found high yet, hope they find the shift knob soon. A lot of the season left to right the ship!! Go Griz kick some butt going down the stretch.
So far the Cat defense looks insanely good. 8 games in and I think the starting D is giving up like 3 points per game or something like that. That's scary. That's considering they're down four players off the two deep to season ending injuries. Flame away.
You've currently played the 3 worst scoring offenses in the Big Sky, an incredibly inconsistent ISU team, winless and pathetic Utah Tech, and Mercyhurst, whose only wins are against D2 schools (they've also lost to a D2 school). You got ran over by New Mexico, but their offense looks pretty good (until they couldn't catch simple passes), and Maine was respectable.
We have our first common opponent next weekend, which should tell us a little more about your defense, since EWU's offense at the very least has been pretty good. Then you finish the year against the two best offenses in the conference (other than yours). If you can keep that average under 20 to end the year, you'll definitely have earned the scary good defense moniker, but don't get too upset if we're still not convinced.
This just in, 8-4 and losing to Montana by 30 is not nearly at their level.

Don’t all but 2 teams have a long way to go? Didn’t Griz have long way to go last season too?

I'm not on the same page that this defense is as good as the defense in 2021.
NDSU most likely has the best defense in all of FCS. They are going to be tough to put points on

I call BS on the Cat D looking insanely good. And on the BS of the starting D only giving up 3 per game. Jeez, look at game 1. Have you ever said anything about the Cat team that was accurate?
