With all that being said, I am very happy with the grit that these players showed by fighting to the very end. I understand that this is a young team and that there will be growing pains. Next week will be the tell. If we DESTROY Northern Colorado, then we might, MIGHT, have a shot at being in the playoffs.

With 24 teams invited to this year's FCS Playoffs, I still ascertain the Griz getting in. What do you think the Northern Iowa fans are thinking; they with a 1 - 4 record? Of course, they can run the table until the Playoffs just like the Griz can. 8 -3? 7 - 4? Still pretty decent chances.

I don't think the playoffs expand until next season.

You know, I think you're right. After double-checking: http://www.sportsnetwork.com/fcs/FCS_Bracket.pdf" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; ...there appears to be only 20 teams considered. Drats. Foiled again.
 
Team is awesome, players are amazingly good, and typical Griz Players. However, the coaching staff Sucks @$$. Sadly the players are suffering due to lack of coaching and coaches need to be replaced asap, or at-least the head coach. How the hell do you lose a 9 point lead. NO! how the hell do you go 3 & out in 2 min. 4th qtr. and only up by 9!!! :o :o :o :x This staff is BS. Unfortunately they F'd Nguyen and Moore's last year with F'd Up BS Play calling. Sorry Griz Nation, but We suck and this season is over. 2013 is our Year. If we get new stable staff with BALLS... Go Griz!!! :thumb:

I'm not exactly pleased with blowing 2 leads the way we did either, or the lack of killer instinct in our play calling once we get a lead, but I don't think the season is over yet. Sure, we have 3 losses right now, and some HUGE issues obviously, but there is still time to turn things around.

Maybe we get some things figured out when we go play UNC, and come back a much improved team. We'll need to have some of the more serious issues worked out by the time we play SUU, UND, and MSU...

Not time to give up yet!
 
I believe if we had the powder puff schedule that cats were given to start this season, we could easily be unbeaten. We have played our most difficult games and have been in all of them. I think BW's prediction has some merit, but that is not to say I would put money on it. I am giving him kudos for having the balls to make a bold prediction knowing the flamers/sky is falling people on this board would make him pay if he is wrong. Go Griz.
 
Montana State 2-0 5-0
Cal Poly 2-0 4-0
Northern Arizona 2-0 4-1
Eastern Washington 2-0 3-1
North Dakota 1-1 3-2
Sacramento State 1-1 3-2
Southern Utah 1-1 2-3
UC Davis 1-1 2-3
Idaho State 0-1 1-3
Northern Colorado 0-1 1-3
Montana 0-2 2-3
Portland State 0-2 1-4
Weber State 0-2 0-5

Long way to go but I'll be listening to the rest of the games and hoping they can pull it off.
 
Brint, I like your "we have our opponents right where we want them attitude" because that is what our team needs right now.

After all the huff and bluff by fair weather fans some might take their six pack and go home at this point.

When you simply look at our play and the great effort our kids gave U can see we have good upside potential at this point. I usually go with a one game at a time approach but I am watching a team improve every game and I can see us running the table. I think most are missing the obvious and that is our vast improvement each game. This will continue, forget about coaching for a minute and consider the upside potential. We have an EXTREMELY YOUNG team and they are deep with good players. Some of you need to finish your beer, clear your head and look at the obvious.......Young and good means better things coming because we can't help but improve!

About now is when I wish Growler had not slunk off. He was so negative he would make this a positive. Come on fans don't give up now, we are just getting started!

So is it fact that you have to win out to make the playoffs, since you only have one D1 win and you need 7.

No they need to win 5 out of 6 games to get to seven which makes them eligible for the playoffs. I think a 7-4 Big Sky team has a really good chance to make the playoffs now that it is 20 teams. But if EWU or NAU is also 7-4 and there was only one spot then 7-4 wouldn't be good enough.

Brint....after watching the Griz today, I agree with you. They are a strong team beginning to break out. Their body language was positive to the end of the game. The Griz won't lose again in the regular season. :thumb:

I think the guys will be just pissed at themselves b/c they took a step towards improving so many things:

- Oline blocking throughout the game
- Continual running game
- Neutral turnover margin
- forcing a fieldgoal when the opposing offense is the RZ

They can continue to get better... or fall apart. I don't see these guys quitting, at all. In fact I see just the opposite.

Alluding to the RZ, isn't that the entire field?

well, 2 losses and which gives us not room for failure for playoffs. we do have a good chance, however, the way this staff is playing the game, it is highly unlikely that we will have a decent season. I feel like MD is playing bobby ball with less knowledge of what he is doing or what to do with seconds left on the clock.

Guarantee that freshman qb would have had a whole lot of pressure and a lot less time........TYE. To some this was just a good hard fought loss. Great then sleep well. These kids played hard and the coaches let em down. Sorry I'm not a "its ok" kinda guy.

Yeah. I was pissed as HELL when the Special Teams coach didn't cover that onside kick. That fucker. What was he thinking? :roll: :roll: :roll:
 
It should have never come down to an on side kick and why not signal for a fair catch when it did. So shove your :roll: :roll: :roll:

Sure it shouldn't have. I was also pissed at Rosenbach for fumbling the ball twice inside the 10 yard line.

You're an idiot of the highest order. Congratulations.

p.s.: He couldn't call for a fair catch, Einstein....the ball bounced twice. :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:
 
Don't make it to to many games do you. just sit there and pause and rewind and pause and rewind.

Congratulations. You finally got one right. :clap: :clap: :clap:

But that has zero to do with anything.

Good post, PR, I mean AZ. You have multiple recent posts that I could have written. Glad you're finally getting it all figured out. Ha-ha. Seriously, some very good and right-on posts.
