Epic Collapse

[grizindabox]

Epic? Giving up a 10 point comeback isn't epic. Unfortunate, sure, but let's not get so dire. We're on the right track.

Up 10 with 6.5 mins. You gotta do a lot of shit wrong to piss that away. Here hold my beer.

Yeah, its never happened before....epic

Outside of the first three minutes and the last quarter, we did good.
But, regardless of PR, we have to fix the problems. My main concern is that I saw bend don't break again when we were only up by three. That is the part of Bobby ball that I never liked.

Sorry, but giving up 89 yards in the 2d half is hardly bend but not break. You really don't understand the game, do you? Keep it up. This is funny. Was it "epic" too?

Gawd some people on here are rediculous. I predicted a 6-5 season. We look really good so far. Much better than I thought hauck would look with stitt recruits. Truthfully I can't stand hauck. I think he is a pretty good coach but s crappy person especially around young men. But this was not his fault at all give WIU some credit. They are a good team with a lot of heart.

Yes, you already wrote your feelings about the subject. Do you have anything new to add?

I don't feel this loss was epic, tragic and rather unfortunate yes, but epic no. The decision to go for the TD rather than a FG was an odd choice but here's my angle on that. Bobby knows full well that we have the weakest O-line in the conference....what if, and bear with me here, what if the decision to go for it was to show his players he had faith in them. Think about it. If they score or get the first down not only does the O-line gain a heap of confidence, the entire team would gain confidence in the O-line.

It was a good 52 minutes of football for sure. The other 8 shouldn’t count. Reminded me a lot of Bobby’s first games in ‘03. Good ol times good ol times.

Bobby definitely had some stinkers back then that I think people either weren't around for, don't remember, or selectively don't remember. lol

Honestly, I flashed back to the championship game beatings. I know Hauck is a good coach. I just don't know if he is a smart coach capable of beating another smart coach. This game reminded me of that.

I think I’m just happy to be pissed the Griz lost instead of resigned to the fact the Griz lost. Or just pissed. Maybe just happy. So confusing.

 

[argh!]

i'm guessing the latter two. good for you, and the cinema.

 

[GrizFanStuckInUtah]

Our problems come down to 1 thing.......discipline. We commit way to many penalties and make too many dumb mistakes with the ball.

 

[Grizbeer]

The good news is I figured out how to cut the murder rate in South Chicago by 90% - get rid of car horns. Seriously, 70 degrees 80% humidity at 9:00 at night, narrow streets and assholes honking everywhere. I would would murder as many people as possible too if some
Jackwad was honking at me for not running over a pedestrian. Cut the horn, save lives.

all of the above I think, changes minute by minute, but the confusion is always there.

Perhaps but it it was the idea it backfired and now even less confidence in the oline now three games in.

Need I say more?

Nope, you needn't say more. You have already said to much.

"Epic?" How old are you? I've seen hundreds of collapses bigger than this one.

Yes, in many sports. It doesn’t always go your way. That’s what athletic competition is all about.

Montanas' o-line problems are exactly why you kick the field goal. no excuses. Go up by 7 in the 4th and depend on your defense which has basically shut them down cold since the first quarter, you always take the points when you can get them especially in a tight road game.smh.

Also, Bobby has always played a field position game. His defense was playing well, so he hedged the 4th down gamble with an expectation that if it failed he could get a three and out and get the ball back in plus territory. And that’s what happened, and the Griz got a 50 yard touchdown drive on the next possession.
