Another disappointing performance.

[Griz Addict]

Bozeman loses Mellott and doesn't miss a beat. Sac State simply plays two at a time. EWU appears to be a QB factory. Idaho State played us with their 3rd string QB and he even found a way to move the ball on us.

What happens when our starter goes down? We look like a freaking pop warner team on offense.

This game shouldn’t have come down to the onside kick, blocked field goal, or blown call. This offense needs to go win the f###[#] game for once.

Bobcats were smart and brang Chambers in... he was a transfer. They knew mellot would go down at some point with their style of play. They knew if they didn't bring in a transfer. If mellot went down they'd be screwed. We should have done the same.

 

[Griz Addict]

Yeah idk if you know this but, we don't have any legit qbs besides Johnson. Quit being a baby. Griz took the number 2 team in the country to OT with a backup qb, that's known for not being very good, and without or best offensive weapon in Bergen... they gameplanned the game for Johnson, not Brown. Unexpected injuries while playing on the road to a team that's hasn't been behind in a game since last November, is a tough task. We have a good team and there's still more football to be had. This was basically like a late playoff game. One thing the griz definitely need is better depth at the qb positionidk what's the deal with our starting qbs always getting hurt...

more excuses.......sac state had a 3rd string defensive end in due to injuries.
a. it will happen in this sport, so get over it
b. good teams have their underlings prepared for just such circumstances.
c. bobcats had to use their second string qb to beat weber, even tho he was a starter before, so was
kris brown last year. this is just part of the game, the coaches have to prepare for the unforseen that will
become the forseen at some point in this game/season. all the players made the roster for some reason,
oh ya, to play.

Once again, the Bobcats brang in a transfer that could easily start. They knew Mellot would go down again with how they run the qb. Chambers could literally start for any team in the Big Sky. And he fit their scheme. The griz should have done the same. If Bobcats didn't bring in chambers and mellot went down they wouldn't of won a single game.

Griz could lose to weber and msu and still be a decent at-large. I bet tomorrow they are still ranked in the top 10-12. They dropped two games they should have won but our losses arent bad losses as far as the team quality. Idaho is a damn good team and Sac #2 A few of our wins are getting helped out too, South Dakota just beat the #14 Salukis, Indiana St. keeps playing tough in the "All Mighty" MVFC. #2 qb is a weakness though, cant imagine Britt and Huot look as shaky as Brown. This is a damn good team tho, don't bail early cause you might miss something special. Believe bitches!

i agree.

Horrible excuse if national title aspirations are anywhere near. Griz were number 2 and lost at home.

Perhaps for a national champ team, but a pretty good excuse with the very good qb hurt on bench, and with him being sick in the prior game.

I don’t disagree with that, but then the depth needs to be addressed

All you need to know is Sac had 100 yards more of offense in TWENTY FOUR less plays. We can brag about TOP and # of plays run, but those are useless statistics. They averaged 6.7 yards PER PLAY. That is not elite level defense. You combine that level of offensive efficiency with shitty reffing and it’s a recipe for a certain loss.

Did anyone brag about plays or TOP or plays?

What do you call 10th in the nation in Total Defense (1 yard behind NDSU) and 11th in the nation in scoring defense? Just curious.

Do you not think UM would have won with Johnson at qb? Do you not think UM's offense would have been better with better numbers?

How do you think SS would have done with their starting qb out, and 1 of their 2 top receivers out?

Why can't you focus on the big picture and stop complaining about smaller or irrelevant things?

What do I call it? Not enough.

yes, I do. But it’s a moot point isn’t it?

I think there’s enough of a sample size to say that virtually EVERY other BSC team has 2 serviceable QB’s except Montana.

The big picture? 2 straight losses. Another looming Saturday. And even if we do manage to win against CP and EWU, the Scat game will be for a playoff berth. Big enough for you?

 

[Grisly Fan]

It’s the 3rd ranked 6-0 team on the road.

Horrible excuse if national title aspirations are anywhere near. Griz were number 2 and lost at home.

It wasn’t an excuse for losing. It was just pointing out that the OP’s expectation of looking dominant was a bit overblown. Sac St is a good team. Hard to dominate them all things considered. That said, if LJ had not taken an egregiously dirty shot to the head, the result could have looked pretty dominant. And I agree with another poster, the helmet to helmet was absolutely deliberate. You could see it in the face of the defender. There was real look of determination.

Ah yes...sorry, I was tired when I went on a multi post rant and instead of context I read it as you basically giving them excuses. My apologies. I agree 100%, they were playing great. I think the Defense played very well, got a bit tired at the end and were exploited when they were on the field basically 3 drives in a row (minus the final Griz drive in regulation). Interestingly, Usually you play defense first in OT, which strategically seems to be better. I was telling BH through the TV to go ahead and take the ball to give the D a rest since they'd been on the field a crapload in a short time. Not sure it would've mattered, but Weeebs is up now.

When it was 24-14, what were those stats? How much was padded the last 2 drives and OT? I'm curious and don't have time to run the numbers.

 

[Walkon79]

4 loses won't get you into the playoffs. They have to go 3-1.

In the past a 7 win Montana has gotten to the playoffs, I agree 3-1 minimum would be best but it's not impossible if we win 2 out of the next 4. Would need the MVFC to beat themselves up a bit more to help, and the CAA

A 4-loss Griz team will most certainly get into the playoffs, and would probably even host on Thanksgiving weekend with the bid.

Well, unfortunately we’re required to count ALL 60 minutes of football, including any overtime yards. :lol:
