Post Game: Humbling loss

[Zootown Rox]

Looking forward to a new coaching staff, though who that would be I have no idea. This staff lacks passion, they gave up early, they panic and they don't adjust. They can turn it around but 15 games is enough of a sample to see what these coaches have to offer and the results have been terrible.

Even if we turn it around and squeak into the playoffs I'll still be ok with Delaney retiring, and a real national coach search to follow.

Though the real problem is at the tip top - the President and administration do not care about results, they are more than willing to throw the athletic department under the bus and have no sporting ambitions.

 

[CV Griz Fan]

Yep, still waiting on a factual reply chief.

"Factual reply"??? See how deluded you have become? I make my "opinions" about what happened out there Saturday, then you make your rebuttal "opinions" to mine, but think they are FACTS! You are so full of yourself now. We were talking about it at the GSA tailgate in Flag Saturday. You've been reading too many of your own press clippings dude!

Sorry you two. Both of your posts were opinions. That's it.This is a fan board. Fans post opinions. If we were all experts, we wouldn't be wasting out time on E-Griz. The fan board for an FCS team. No harm, no foul. You two need to smoke a "peace pipe" and move on.

 

[argh!]

Again: substance please Mr Dill. All you can do is make personal attacks apparently. You wonder why no one takes you seriously? This is why. You call out players individually, make veiled threats, and attack posters and call them names.

And still, I'm waiting on your reply to why my post is wrong, however I know it's not coming.

sunny didn't write anything that hasn't more or less been posted already. was it obnoxious? maybe a little. was it worse than posts by others regarding the nau game? no - see dickhead's nonsense, for example.

you are the one who needlessly turned this thread into a personal attack/pissing match, not sunshine.

The 4th and goal was a bad call because the Jacks were pushing the defense around earlier. Take the 3 point and live to play another day.
Catsrback...great post.

UM had just driven 86 yards in just over 5 minutes. UM had the momentum. NAU's defense was not pushing UM around on that drive. Again, I'm fine with call. Kicking a FG from the 2 at that point in the game would have been a very conservative, and wimpy, call.

Man I fu*king hate agreeing with you and its kinda sick that you of all people are the only one that gets it.............but you are 100% correct.

Its very telling that we lost by 18 points and these guys are complaining about one FG. NAU missed a FG so it evened out. Hell looking back at the game even if we score a TD on that play we still lose because they physically kicked our asses.

It was a great call and still is.

THIS. Those that think we lost this game because we were too aggressive don't get it. And guys that don't get it don't get why they don't get it.

 

[grizfromhel]

I am generally O'K' with being aggressive on fourth down and let the chips fall where they may--- in my mind, and I think there is some data to back this up, most coaches are too conservative.

However, having said that, I still think the goal line call on fourth down at the end of the first half, was a bone-head call by the coaching staff. Take the three, after being stuffed 3 times inside the five yard line, go into the locker room and live to fight another day. Instead it blew up in their faces and arguably the Griz were out of the game from there on.

It was a huge momentum swing and let the Jacks believe that they had us on the run.

But forget the fumble. That and the touchdown that followed weren't very predictable. But the fact is that JJ did not get across the line, and it would have been a turnover anyway. And itself a momentum swing.

Let's face it , the coaches paniced. The fourth down call and then the long passes when JJ could barely get off the passes on the short routes, and you have the same king of panic from the coaching staff that was so devastating last year.

Such a bad deal and I'm all of a sudden feeling the way I did last year: this team is not well coached and not well disciplined, and it is going down to more defeats unless there is a huge change in preparation and commitment.

Grizfromhel, do you feel the Griz were ill-prepared in their two FCS wins this season? If so, how so? At the time of the NAU game, they were the least penalized team in the league and had committed ONE turnover in three games.

Being prepared only takes you so far. You have to execute too. The Griz may have been prepared in the first three games of the season or they may not have. Playing a lower level of competition probably helped them.The Griz got "blitz" on the road early and couldn't handle the pressure of a good team in NAU. The Griz may have thought they were prepared but once the "bullets" started flying the Griz succumbed to the pressure and couldn't execute. Playing on the road against a good team is a whole different story. I think that was the issue for the Griz last Saturday.

The fourth down call was not a great call, nor was it a horrible call. On the positive side, *******Delaney showed confidence in his players that they could get the job done. They just drove the length of the field and were filled with momentum. I thought they were going to score. But there are so many factors that play into that being successful or not. If NAU dials up a different blitz, changes coverage, that may be a TD Griz.

On the negative, the call was a black/white, win/ lose only style of call. Even if there was no fumble, the momentum would have been gone. At least gone enough that the defense would have had a big stop to get it back. With NAU being at home, the place would have still erupted on fully swung momentum away from the Griz.

The call was nothing more than a calculated risk. IMO the risk outweighed the reward, but not so great as to say that one play win/lost the game. The Griz are a good team that had a lousy game. The Cats played a lousy game last week, and then came out and destroyed an opponent that was probably as lousy as the one they lost to the week before. The Griz will bounce back. Simply too many good and experienced players to let it keep rolling like that.

*******Confidence in the players should have included Counts. He fits the bill to execute those plays. Yet coaches didn't call his number except for the fake when JJ kept the ball and resulted in JJ's fumble. Counts was over the pile in the end zone - TD! But instead the fumble, and Counts flies over the pile and is the only Griz that comes out of the end zone to chase down NAU, and he almost caught him. The coaches going for the TD not a bad call. They just didn't call the numbers that would make it happen. Call plays to the strengths of the team/players. Believe the Griz can make things happen as long as coaches recognize skills and talents of all players.

Please stop. You are embarrassing Joey and making us all think he comes from a family of victims that never get there way. Joey is not good enough to be on the field more than he is. PERIOD. He is not better than Van or Canada and he won't play over them until they graduate. Get used to it and STFU

Oh BS. "Sunny" said, and keeps saying, some horrid stuff. Much worse than what others have said. BW has not said anything like that, nor does he deserve this crap. This poster needs to be deleted, again. Virtually every thread he's in will turn into garbage like this. There's over a decade of history on him, and he's gotten worse over the years.

Still waiting.

I don't need to write any rebuttals you goddamn fuc king retard.

drunk? Out of meds??? Maybe both????? :lol: :lol:

 

[George Ferguson]

How long until Steve gets banned again? Or did it already happen? Damn, I'm not gonna lie, all the doom and gloom on here makes me wish someone would post his famous ass-scratch fever video. I need to laugh right now.

Yeah I'm done with it. Slipped for a bit today and stirred the pot, my bad.

With growler I need to keep in mind the phrase, "don't argue with idiots, they drag you down to their level and beat you with experience."

 

[jodcon]

In other news 3 Griz players tried to destroy signs upon returning to Missoula. One slipped off while trying to tackle it with one arm, one falsely stepped out too quickly and was hit by a hippie on a bike, and the third forgot which sign he was assigned to.

Hey at this point all you can do is laugh.

Wow! The victim concept is in left field isn't it. The Griz have talent at all positions. Talking about RBs and mentioning Counts doesn't make him a victim. Canada, Van, and Counts are different types of RBs. If Counts is a 3rd and short type of RB why not use him if he can produce. That's all. Seemed pretty simple. Note this edit: by "all players" I meant all of the players on the team not just a reference to Counts. I hadn't read into it that way when I wrote it. But my apology if this offends you in some way. Have a good evening.

Oh, and take the f-cking points, kick the damn ball off and rely on your defense to get a stop. THAT'S how you show confidence in your team.

No sir, you are not! I was severely over-served tonight by the dirty gypsy. Apparently I'm a big rum drinker now. Like I needed that problem too.

BTW, that's the right call!
