The crap that gets posted around here sometimes...

I'm glad Gus proved you guys wrong. 1 half a player does not make so please take your over-reacting asses back in the seats and enjoy the game and thank whatever diety you worship that the coaches don't listen to the bullshit that we fans think.

Hello pot, meet kettle.

While I agree that the name calling was uncalled for, people not happy with Brady's or the O line's play in the first half was nothing unusual or over the top. Their play was horrid.

 

[AZGrizFan]

I don't post during football games.


But there can be no sugar coating it. That was awful. The first half was beyond awful. The Griz were getting outplayed be an obviously inferior opponent. And while I'm a huge Gus supporter, to suggest it's inappropriate for someone to post that it was time to give someone else a look at QB is silly. Gus was terrible and he was giving away the football like it was candy on Halloween.

I'm not sure we'd have beaten anyone else on our schedule the way we played today with the exception of MVSU. And that's simply unacceptable.

Well 2 of his turnovers were fumbles which don't solely rest on his shoulders. Thiebes watched his guy get the strip so why are you blaming gus and not the guy who should be blocking? Sure he threw a pick but I mean seriously what more do you want? I don't care how good your QB is, if your o-line sucks then your qb sucks, simple. I mean one of the absolute best QB's EVER, if not the best, got blasted in the super bowl for a total QBR or 40 and a passer rating of 48 because he had a shitty o line.

One half does not make a player. How about 4 straight halves? 8 straight quarters? You included two of my quotes in your list of egregious examples, and there wasn't anything wrong with either of them. 8 straight quarters of shitty football is enough for me. I'd like to have seen someone else get a chance. Unfortunately, he went out there and did just enough in the 2nd half to keep us all hoping and praying for the UNI game...gee, if we only knew which Gus was going to show up....

 

[fanofzoo]

Your QB has a worst than terrible first half and you ask "who" should start the second half and get grief, really?
Did I say bench him ?

When it is written that Gus is close to the second coming I guess you have to ask for a little more.

Getting a little defensive there Skippy.

 

[ordigger]

This is ridiculous. I was at the game and at halftime I looked at the game-thread and I was not shocked one bit by the absolute shit that was posted. We wonder sometimes why other fanbases hate ours or why people hate egriz. Maybe shit like all of these quotes is why...posted after the first half by NUMEROUS different posters who I hope are all eating their own shit now. One bad half and you guys are ready to throw a QB, a coach, and a team into the trash. It's embarrassing to be grouped as a griz fan with some of you.

well brady looks on fire!! or should be fired

Gus looks dreadful

I'm sorry, but if Gus is the best option at QB, the Griz are in trouble.

Chalich warming up yet?

senior QB seem to be playing somewhere else

Gus is a joke - get rid of him

Pull the buffoon out now.

.give someone else a chance...NO WAY can they do worse.

Maybe bench Gus he just does not have his head in the game.

I'm not even watching the game (following it on ESPN) and I've seen enough of Gustafson for tonight.

And I thought Idaho QB wad horrible

Stitt can't figure out he needs to give another QB a chance.

That's 8 straight quarters of absolute horrible football by the Griz led by Gustafson.

Straight up pathetic! Unexcusable, piss poor play! Worst I have ever seen in the past 25 years of home openers!

Yep - Gus and his Billings dumbasses need to go- pathecic

Did Gus smoke a couple of those Missoula doobies before the game?

Gus looks clueless


When I predicted this, about mid-season last year, based on statistical analysis, I pointed to the facts that we had a QB problem exacerbated by a coach problem who refused to admit it. We had, then, a second and third string QB who, given the chances, did well. And, in all cases, never did as poorly as BG when he was doing poorly. Didn't matter. You needed to "understand football."

Don't see them posting tonight.

On the other hand, perhaps this is the "Fourth Quarter strategy" at work. Still a game to play.


Gus and his Billings crew are douchebags

Chalich. No question in my mind

Time to pull Gus, cant see the game but if he is playing this bad he needs to be pulled NOW

I agree - with respect- Gus need to go

A lesson learned last year, (statistically), Gus doesn't have bad quarters, he has bad games. Stitt could never adapt to that.

During his halftime interview Stitt pretty much said the same thing in a nicer way. He put it all on Gus, and gave kudos to the offensive line (which was also getting reamed in that thread). And after the game, Stitt was raving about how good Gus had done...and how proud he was of him.

If we learned one thing, its that Gus is very inconsistent....well I guess we knew that already. If he can string 4 quarters together he's going to very good.

I honestly can't believe how tame it was and how few threads are in here bashing this or that.

#1. Don't read the comments on this board if you want sweet nothings whispered in your ear. You come here on your own volition. (kind of like going to a whore house, except they will whisper in your ear).

#2. I don't condone attacking a kid personally. I think it is absolutely appropriate to say he should have been pulled from that game. Blame the o-line, they played poorly. Gus also played badly most of the game and held the ball way to long and did not check off on his receivers. St. Francis was wore down in the fourth. BSC teams have the schollies and players to compete. They won't be.

#3. First game of the year. The team continues to perform abysmal on special teams and give up big plays + be anemic as hell on offense in the first half of games = this board will be lighting up like a damn X-Mas tree. Get used to it.

#4. First game of the year. I saw some good things. Unfortunately a lot of bad as well. One of the things most disturbing was LACK OF DISCIPLINE!! Stupid penalties and breakdowns in coverage on special teams and a few on defense.

#5. Bright note - you did not read one negative comment about the kicking game!! The kicker was stellar - other than he can't put the ball through the back of the end zone when he kicks off. There, I just went negative again.

Eriul: The overall point of your post is pretty much spot on. For a site that has so many posters who seem to pride themselves on their football knowledge and rabid support of the Griz, many of them get ridiculously, nearly suicidally, hysterical when the team is not performing at the "perfect" level they seem to expect on EVERY SINGLE PLAY. Never mind that this was the first game of the season with a slew of newcomers on both sides of the ball in critical positions and that many of them were freshmen and many playing in their first Griz game ever. Yes, they should have been better in the first half but, if the O line will play up to par, this team has some serious talent and, with experience, a very high ceiling on both sides of the ball.

Save for a few posters, patience and restrained behavior are not two characteristics that egriz posters often display. As a matter of fact, junior high level interaction: bullying, taunts, thin skinned reactions, and "my dad is smarter than your dad" behaviors are more often the norm. (And don't tell me to quit reading the site if I don't like it). I do like it because egriz is a fascinating example of the observation that many people throughout their entire adult lives never progress emotionally or social skill-wise beyond the junior high/high school level.

And I also appreciate the posters who actually provide solid football observations, scouting reports, recruitment news and actual football discussions - that is before personal animosities and ridiculous tit for tat, "you never played the game" style interactions inevitably derail 80% of the threads.

So yeah, egriz is often instructive, often frustrating but generally entertaining and certainly very 'lively' and in need of improvement. Just like yesterdays Griz!

This. It's crazy how near-sighted these "knowledgable" football fans are. Even here they're all defending the fact that Brady came out slow in the first half of the first game so they all want to bench the guy that's been the starter for two years. Forget the fact that Brady ended with player of the game stats, a respectable qbr, and 5 touchdowns in a 41 point game...

This is what I'm talking about haha. I'm not complaining about what you guys are saying. I'm complaining that Countless posters on this board who claim to know the game of football all posted ignorant bullshit and then wonder why people laugh at their football "knowledge"

 

[DuCharme]

Ah, my bad. I'm not one of them. I played ball. But I still don't know crap.

 

[HelenaHandBasket]

I still stand behind my statement that Gus looked dreadful in the first half and if that riles people up so be it. But you are fooling yourself if you believe that his first half performance is anywhere near acceptable. I guess we will see what he is made of next Saturday. I sure hope it is more second half Gus than first half, but I am very skeptical.

Starting with the ignorant first post I can see your plight. Gus in not a good QB and he never will be, so what if he makes one throw a game that is on the money? Anyone can do that, if he is the best we have Griz will have trouble winning seven games. You cant turn the ball over, throw into triple coverage and be as inconsistent as he is every game and not get some flak for it. I agree with the guy in the game thread his parents family and friends are embarrassing to the state. In Laurel we have a name for them.

I obviously Never played the game......

Uhh he is one of the better QB's in the conference. I don't think that's up for debate by anyone. Obviously, he started slow but you really think we should bench our starter of 2 years, put in a player who is even more inconsistent, and put doubt in our starting QB in the first game of the year because he had a bad half? Yah that's a great message to all the players and visiting recruits in attendance. :roll:

Also will switching the QB change the O-line coverage? Because at least one of the fumbles, maybe the second-I haven't rewatched it, is entirely on the O-line

I think you would be wrong. And when the OL is an issue, the QB either has to get rid of the ball quickly or be mobile enough to avoid some of the rush, neither of which Gus showed in the first half. Gus looked better doing both in the second half.

Yet the coaches were very happy with the O-line. Only ones complaining about O-line are a few here.

Well the majority of players, coaches, fans all disagree with you. Time to put your bias aside. Besides EWU and NAU who is better? I'm sorry but you putting all the blame on Gus is just ignorant. Again I refer to the Denver/Seattle super bowl.

So you went from " I don't think that's up for debate by anyone." to "majority of"......and whether or not Gus is 3rd best QB in the BSC or 10th best, his first half performance was dreadful.
