Post Game: Baffling loss
- Thread starter BWahlberg
- Start date
Pulling guard what the heck is that? On the snap the offense line stands up, waits for contact, hand fights, and get bull rushed. They don't fire off the ball knocking people off the line of scrimmage but try and make a lane to run through. One thing I know is Germer is a good offensive line coach when coaching kids to control,the line of scrimmage. Remember DOLA? We don't have one dominate offensive lineman.

So, what's your point?
Worst team I can remember other than 2012. I actually can't think of a team that was this painful to watch. 2010 was pretty miserable but this year has just been pathetic, and its year two and rather than getting better the team seems to be getting worse, which is kind of a. Red flag IMO

Agree. There is no bend to the OL but, as has been said, it's not all their fault and I do like Germer's coaching style. They just need to bend at the hips and move through the plays, IMHO...
I was at the game and have a couple observations. First, UNC has a great band, they gave us a great halftime show.
Second, the Griz came out to start the game completely flat, flat like a pancake. They reminded me of a crew accountants arriving to audit your books, professional, well trained, and entirely unemotional.
Third, there is a real problem getting the defensive signals from the sideline to the team on the field. Often see players standing with there hands up and much shuffling around trying to get lined up. On the first UNC touchdown my daughter said "uh-oh we're confused", and we were. I watched the first three minutes of UNC cable-cast and the announcers analysis was that the Griz defense was "discombobulated". There is also a problem with late substitutes. These are real problems and it would seem at week 10 these sorts of details would be worked out.
Finally, the game was lost in the last seven minutes. The defense couldn't force a punt and the offense couldn't drive for a score. In some respects football is a simple game, you've got to perform at the critical moments and the Griz didn't.

1. Stats don't mean a damned thing in football. They can't. There's no comparison w/ baseball stats, which, I think, is why not that long ago, someone thought it'd be a good idea to make football stats as significant as baseball stats. Stats are something, I think, that the AP thought up long ago about making sports more "important": quantify them. Well, ok for baseball; not for football. In football, the only important stat is the W/L.
2. Never will understand Stitt's fascination w/ sideline passes that don't go anywhere. I'll bet Chalich had at least as much yardage passing to the sideline receivers as up field. And, not just this game.
3. Good thing Chalich was QB & not Brady; loss would have been bigger.

Would he have done that on the road though, I'm really not so sure. Brady has one win outside the state of Montana in his career, where he played very poorly against UNI. I was calling to bring Brady in in the second half though to change things up (didn't know and still not sure if he was healthy).

He's actually criticizing a player too. I don't completely agree with him, but I like it. About time people started thinking for themselves rather than repeating what the coaches do as gospel. Surprised there hasn't been a backlash from Havgriz or Eirul for criticizing a player. Oh wait, it fits their agenda nevermind.
