Again, context matters. If you have a strong kicker and you go for the field goal and you miss it, oh well, that’s football. Sucks but what can you do. But that wasn’t the context of this situation. We had a kicker who could hardly kick a ball straight all year. He was the furthest thing from...

I never said a single word about Clemson or Georgia lol. You’re just making shit up to be angry about. And why would we relegislate 2002? the DB had to interfere because he got beat. We did our job. That’s part of what you try to do in that situation. You want to set yourself up to get the...

This is one play. It’s god awful effort by the left side, but still. Matt Jones had a PFF pass blocking grade on Saturday of 4.4. ON A SCALE OF 100. I agree that every position should be up for grabs, my point is just that it’s unrealistic to expect a wholesale changeover so you have to...

The Notre Dame thing isn’t an excuse. It’s literally what happened on the last play of the game right on tape. They only had 10 men. We ran where the 11th guy should’ve been. And with a one man advantage, we made it in by an inch. That’s literally what happened. As soon as it happened, the game...

Arguing that he wasn’t implying that it’s like any other game is just being pedantic. And I don’t even blame Kyle for it. It’s clearly a mantra being passed along from the head coach.

I find it hard to fully be able to judge Knowles when the head coach lets 1/3 of the defense do its own thing.

yea, I mean if ND has its shit together enough to have all 11 men on the field, we lose that game. We ran to a hole where there was a person missing and still only got in by an inch because our line collapsed so bad.

My lack of immediate faith in Luke has more to do with S&C than Luke himself. Seeing Hinzman this year and his slow strength development doesn't give me hope for what a second year tackle in Mick's program is going to look like next year in terms of being able to push guys around.

I agree 100%, but whether it's fair or not, Saturday was the chance to validate those claims - at least as much as you possibly can after the fact. And we failed that chance. They should be punished for their actions but our time to validate our claims about 2021 and 2022 was Saturday and we...

I think you either give him the job straight up or you tell him to move on elsewhere. The guy already has a major confidence issue. If you open it back up and he happens to win it again, he's going to spend the entire year afraid to make a mistake, which doesn't help us or him. You've either...

There is not enough money in the world to make that happen. The only chance he plays for us again is if we back into the playoff.

The thing that scares me the most this offseason is that they stay put on the line. It got better over the course of the year but it was still REALLY bad. Like bad enough that it still needs an infusion of talent. Simmons and Jackson (assuming he returns) are mostly fine. Hinzman should be...

Run blocking grades on PFF for the season: Fleming - 70.9 Johnson - 68.7 Marvin - 63.7 Tate - 52.0 Egbuka - 51.8 Nobody else really has enough to be statistically relevant. Egbuka's is bad but he also played hurt a decent amount. The rest are fine. Don't listen to anything Zach Smith says...

That play happened early in the second quarter. There's absolutely no way to know that we win that game if it's called properly. If it was late in the fourth, sure. Okay. But as it is it's a completely pointless argument.

Exactly. It's one thing if you're getting freak injuries or what not. All of our issues have been soft tissue injuries, which is generally the result of overtraining or lack of flexibility.

McCord is obviously viewed differently if that ball gets picked. But he also gets viewed differently if we don't barely sneak into the endzone with ND down a man. It is what it is.

No, I just think now that we've played them post-Stalions and still lost, people just realize there are issues internally that should be worried about before the sign stuff. They should be punished because they deserve to be, but you really shouldn't be worried about other people's business...

I'm going to call my shot right now and say Cam Ward is our starting QB next year.

I don't understand this at all. I really don't. When it comes to next man up, there's not a unit on the team more ready all the time than Alford's. Alford's got fourth and fifth string guys that are almost plug-and-play and other units can't get the first string right.

They cower to these guys so much that I’ll take anything at this point. If it has to be an instagram comment, so be it. But Christ, at least it’s something.
