Very Typical....

[Chitown Panther]

Last 2 years we had more talent......

Offensive play calling down the stretch still stinks.....

FG kicking is a joke. Not blamming Billy, but you can't settle for FGs in I-AA football.

Pat Grace has hands of stone and can somehow over throw carl lewis....

We are the laughing stock of Semi-Finals footaball....

Mark Farley blowing playoff games is starting to get old.

Re: Very Typical....

And the UNI-Dome sucks. If your team played outdoors, they actually might have a home field advantage for the postseason.

I completely agree.

You might wanna be careful though, you might be called an idoit for posting your opinion/feelings.

Re: Very Typical....

How much of the play calling sits on Farley?

None. But Bill needs to learn a few things. We need to pick up yards with a lead not squat on it.

Re: Very Typical....

I'm not trying to say there wasn't any fault in the play calling but we did not just sit on the ball when we went up 20-7. We had the ball twice after that not counting the last play, which I think we could of called a better play, and didn't sit on it the first time.

The first drive after the 20-7 lead we ran the ball 4 times and passed 3 times (only one was complete) and even threw it long to Oordt once on that drive. I wouldn't call that sitting on the ball. The coaches didn't tell Grace to cut it back and lose 4 yards. If he follows line maybe we try a field goal on that drive.

As for the last drive where we ran the ball 3 times I would guess 9/10 coaches would of done the same and would win most of the time. It just didn't happen today.

The coaches didn't drop the almost sure TD on our trick play. The coaches didn't blow the punt coverage on the last punt. The coaches didn't drop or overthrow other passes. I'm not trying to throw the players under the bus but we need to stop throwing the coaches under the bus.

We had a great year and we happened to lose today and it will be time to move on no matter how much it hurts right now and it does.

Billy Halgren or Bill Salmon? Just kidding.


Yeah, Salmon is hard for me to figure out. I remember going to the game at the Dome against SIU in 2003 when we were down something like 35-7 at the half, and came back to win 40-38 (incidentally, the greatest football game I've ever seen live). I was really impressed with him after that, but it seems like we have no killer instinct once we get ahead.

Maybe the answer is to always play from behind.

Agreed 100%. Last week I was defending him and saying that his whole season should be looked at and not just a snap shot of the season. However, after watching todays game it was absolutely dis-GRACE-ful. We out played the Spiders in every aspect of the game except for our QB. First, the dropped pass for a touchdown that hit him right in the damn hands, then two overthrows, one to Oordt and one to Herring, who just happen to be our biggest and our fastest receiver. That's 21 points that he personally left on the field today. It goes back to the fact that we have a fullback playing QB who simply doesn't have the ability to consistently complete passes at this level. Since he was unable to be effective running today because of his health he really provided nothing positive to our offensive sets. Additionally, the whole "drama queen" thing every time he takes a hit is getting old. Take a hit, lay on the turf, stumble to the sidelines, and then "miraculously" return, only to throw a terrible pass on 3rd and 12. All in all it was a PAT-hetic performace and really unfortunate for the seniors who's career had to end this way.

It's no coincidence that the two teams in the FCS championship have QB"s who can throw accurately, hand the ball to running backs who do their jobs well, and get the ball to playmakers. Hopefully between now and next season our coaching staff will realize that a fullback who throws is not the same as having a QB to guide an offense.

Well, you're certainly entitled to your own opinion, but to be honest you come across as an a$$ when you use the tired puns like "dis-GRACE-ful" and "PAT-hectic". Seriously, are you Jim freakin' Rome?

Why don't you find Pat Grace on the street and tell him to his face he's nothing but a "drama queen" and see how that conversation goes? I imagine he has more courage and integrity in his right pinky finger than you have in your entire body.

Everybody is disappointed right now, but your mean-spirited post is the last thing anybody needs to read right now. Get lost.

Re: Very Typical....

Thank you Chippewa I couldn't have said it better. I hurt just as much as the next guy and I am sure the players and coaches hurt more.

This needs to stop. We would of not played today if Pat Grace was not on our team. End of story.

I"d be happy to tell him to his face that he's a drama queen. The fact that a majority of people who post on here think he's a superhero doesn't change the fact that he is playing out of position and left 21 points on the field. While you may think he's superhuman I don't and would be happy to read my post to him face to face.
