Complete mismanagement by Rhule. Why you settle for overtime when you have 3 timeouts and the ball at the 15 is unbelievable.
So many singular stupid plays by our guys, by the refs, by the coaches. One of those people does something different once and we win this damn game.
Rhule should get a few years but you fucked us against Minnesota, Michigan state, Maryland, and now Wisconsin.
Well we were going to have to score more points to win the game either way so might as well keep running it down their throats quickly while we had momentum
Yeah everyone hates either decision if we lose regardless. Always question decisions if it goes bad. I was initially mad we didn’t go for the win in regulation but at the same time get it. We’ve been our own worst enemy too much this year. We’ve had our own fans ask to “just kick a field goal” numerous times (all situations not the same as this obv). Beat Iowa /cry.
Up 14-0 and lose. Unbelievable. Tackling was atrocious. The lack of EJ was so stupid. Purdy played a good game and it was completely wasted.
It felt like mid season they were really rolling with the “get to the 4th quarter and start breaking some runs”…now it feels like we’re on the verge of that the last 2 games and they just stop
It’s wild to me how they seem so reluctant on having a #1 RB. I mean it’s been this way for the last 5-6 years it seems.
Pathetic pussy shit by Rhule to end regulation lost it for us. And there’s absolutely no comparison from last week to this week. Last week you run and kick a FG to win, they didn’t. This week you run and USE YOUR FUCKING TIME OUTS to win, they didn’t.
this is absolutely it. Fans know they’re going to lose, coaches afraid of losing, players only know how to lose
Lack of forced turnovers by this defense has been inexplicable. They should be forcing a hell of a lot more fumbles with the way they hit
Tonight was entirely different than last week. Purdy had been playing well and wasn’t coming in cold off the bench. Purdy actually took 1st reps for the first time all season. We had 3 timeouts, we didn’t even have to put it entirely on Purdy’s arm, but roll him out of the pocket and let him make a read. Hand it to EJ. Why didn’t Fidone make an appearance in the red zone, those big TEs are great in those areas, but instead we chose the smallest player on the field to run to the corner. Option play was open but I don’t think Purdy has ever seen an option. He put zero pressure on the option man and was running backwards as he pitched it. Fuck. We played well enough to win despite how bad we are and we still piss it down our leg. This was coaching. Aside from the oline false starts, players did their jobs. no turnovers. Fuck.
You’re running the ball well, have TOs, and your QB has been making good decisions all night including using his legs. You have first down with a minute to play around the red zone. You need to play to win and it’s coaching malpractice not to. I’m total team Rhule and believe in where we’re headed but that’s the truth
with a struggling offense and the worse kicker you absolutely call timeout and try to run for a touchdown at the end of regulation vs settling for OT. You don’t have to be risky - it was back-back weeks poor end of game decisions.
I really hate how much EJ disappears during large chunks of games. He does a great job of finding small creases and getting more yards than are there which is absolutely necessary with this OL. Why do we not ride him more?
They Fucking huddled and wasted 30 seconds when they were in the red zone with 3 timeouts and a minute left. Wtf.
And Mizzou drives the entire fucking field in 30 seconds with no time outs to win. I Fucking hate this sport.
