Very Typical....

Re: Very Typical....

It's all great that we called a TO to get Grace back on the field for the 3rd down play, but: we call a play that calls for the qb to roll to his left and then throw across his body? He just limped off. Why call a play that puts more stress on a player who has had his bell rung?

Re: Very Typical....

Good point, his stats weren't bad. You have to understand though (same thing with Sanders) UNI's offense consists of a lot of high percentage pass plays, swing passes, screen passes, 10 yard sit routes. This is going to make even the poorest of (DI) quarterbacks look good. Not calling him poor, just say that when you have a wide open, 6'7" receiver open in the end zone, you hit him.

Thats besides the point, I am just wondering if maybe he wasn't banged up the last couple of weeks, thats all.

I'm glad you posted on this thread jegbomb52, because your posts and thoughts are certainly valid and much less personal and mean-spirited.

No, Grace didn't play his best game yesterday, but that can be said of a few players and IMO the coaching staff as well. In a game between such evenly matched and talented teams, any one play can made a huge difference. Unfortunately, we ended up being on the short side yesterday.

What do you mean we would not have played today if it weren't for Pat?

Look, I am not going to sit here and say that Pat should be ridiculed, or thrown under the bus, but I am not going to sit by and listen to comments like that. Lets say Zack Davis plays the whole game against Maine, we still win right? What about N.H.? We probably would have won by more. If Davis plays yesterday and can catch a football, or hit a wide open receiver, we are booking flights to Chattanooga. Yes, I know none of this is guaranteed, but you can't say Grace helped us more than hurt us this post season. If you say it, or type it, you are just being a homer and obviously didn't watch the games.

Oh, and saying it to Pats face, no one here should have to. Trust me, no one is criticizing the plays over the last two weeks than Pat is.

Jeg maybe you are right. You have played before and know more than I do. When I made it home last night and read so many negative posts on Farley and Grace I felt a need to defend them some.

All I know is that the team on the field was one play away from playing for a title. Maybe someone on the bench would of been better I don't know. Maybe someone on the bench would of covered that last punt better. Maybe someone on the bench wouldn't have dropped the long pass play down the sideline in the 3rd quarter.

I do believe we will win it one of these days I just hope it is soon.

Re: Very Typical....

I can easily say that Grace helped UNI in the post-season more than he hurt UNI and anyone that says to the contrary has not recovered from the loss and gained any perspective. Give me a break.

Over 300 yards of total offense in 2 of the 3 playoff games.

I have a ton of respect for Eric Saunders and this isn't meant to distract from his accomplishments but he never delivered a national championship either.

Who the hell is Eric Saunders? Did he play for NIU?
