Re: Pathetic

The O Line needs to protect Grace more...he got popped on that last play and lost the ball. Simple as that.

True. When a QB drops back and gets blind-sided like that, I'm always surprised if he DOESN'T fumble. Not Grace's fault.

Re: Pathetic

Wasn't the concensus about the Texas Southern coach a few years ago that he was an idiot, but we were glad he was an idiot?

Of course we were glad. We won that game. Where as if they hadn't taken the knee, and instead completed a couple passes and gotten into FG range....
Not saying that that necessarily would have happened, had they attempted it. but still.

Of course, Farley goes and mentions in "Panther Plus" that "maybe we should have just kneeled on it and played for OT". Which, I suppose I'll concede HIM the right to second-guess. But really, it's just another "what if...", and there are always plenty of those after a close loss.

What if Corey hadn't fumbled inside the 5. What if we had been able to punch it in instead of settling for a field goal when we had it 1st and goal from the 4. What if one of the 3-4 guys that had gotten their arms on Warner on the opening kickoff had actually been able to tackle him. What if OUR kickoff return hadn't been called back....
(and probably hundreds more)


Games over. We lost. Nothing we can do about it now.
Onto Nichols State.....

Re: Pathetic

There should be a rule against picking on individual players on the team. Each player knows what they need to do and they don't need fans posting negative things about them. The team probably learned some hard lessons last night.

MOD's on this board think it is more important that we don't call out other posters who may be Hawkeye fans. They will kick you off for it or suspend you for 6 months.

I think they run a Hawkeye board as well.

Re: Pathetic

thank you pat grace played a good game not perfect but a good game. what about the person who missed the block that allowed pat to be blindsidded in the back?our line is getting better but pat had people in his face all day. our team lost, pat grace is just the most visable

Not trying to be a homer here, but SIU does have a pretty good defense. I wouldn't be so quick to throw Grace under the bus.

Agreed...I only got to listen to the game & watch Panther Plus...but I'd take Grace over Dieker.

We were all spoiled by Sanders and his ridiculous 75% completion rate.
