 I am utterly mind blown... I mean completely mind blown. We look like shit. Id have to say the D is the biggest shock. Our secondary looks terrible, we are getting no pressure at all, and tackling like crap. This is a wholly terrible game. Its amazing that we are still in it. 

 

[Lukus Alderman]

We need to be running the ball. This is the worst rush defense in the Big 12 and in the bottom 10 in the nation. I understand that the defense is playing poorly, but a 3 and out against this ISU defense is unacceptable.

Maybe we are doing the reverse thing today... We usually look like shit in the second half but we chose the first half to look like shit today?

Or they spent their wad last week?

Lack of pressure on the QB, of course he also throwing quick slants. Do we continue to drop back in coverage, or send the LBs at the QB? I'm tired of seeing the drop back in coverage scheme as ISU completes a 12 yard pass play. Where the Hell did Ced Reed disappear to this season? I don't even notice him in the games anymore.

 This is where my interest in grading the coaches comes from... How are we so pass happy vs a run D like ISU's?! Why does it seem like our gameplan was not prepared to capitalize on the oppositions weaknesses?! Our D looks terrrrrrrrible!

Passing game has looked good, but need to grind it out on the ground, score and burn clock. Keep the D fresh. Also, can we please stop the bonehead mistakes, should be up by at least 14 points.

Redzone turnovers... How about we stop doing that shit.

 

[MikeV73]

Somebody kick Bedford in the ass

Moorer should take him to the pit at halftime for motivation.

My point exactly. Our defense is playing poorly and I think that should push our offense to give them some rest by burning clock.

No, we cant. Apparently bonehead mistakes are part of the gameplan.

I said please.

 

[Bevostuntdouble]

Apparently the coaches arent monitoring this threat cause we are back to pass pass pass!

Shortest distance between two points? A STRAIGHT F'ING LINE! Get there Swoopes! Jesus christ!

Swoopes will learn awareness with time.  He needs to know where he is on the field and the line to get to.  He doesn't juke that, he falls forward for a 1st down.

He had that first down! Right there! Until he did one of his hyper slow motion jukes.

He's still a work-in-progress.  Keep this in mind as the season unfolds.

I am trying to... God knows I want to believe in him. But it appears weekly that the coaches arent keeping that very thing in mind when drawing up the game plans. 

 

[Bevostuntdouble]

Have we even attempted a run yet in the second half?! 1?!

 

[Bevostuntdouble]

What is Shawn Watson doing?!
