Go Gophers!!
Me either, there was plenty of miscues to go around.No way do I blame the loss tonight on Redding. Didn't help but he had more than enough company, starting at the top.

Not to be a smashhead but that picture only has 1 meaning. NW won in overtime. Although the Gophers lost this game it surely is not the end of your season.

As a Minnesota sports fan, I just find it hilarious. His back is turned and he literally thinks he is downing the ball. And then to watch the guy in front of him with a WTF look is just priceless.

I was wondering about that exchange as well. This happening didn’t help with the “play not to lose” on the final drive it seemed.Kind of a Jim Marshall type moment.
Right before the punt on this play, was that Wenger arguing and yelling at PJ, or was he just being overly demonstrative telling him to take a penalty and give the punter a little room? Was it planned to have the player sprint offsides? Anyways, very interesting sequence of events.
In the 4th Q Rossi had one job …I posted it in another thread....but I'll post it again here.
Redding had one job. One that simply required him to know where he was on the field. Making a bad play or a gaffe happens. Paying zero attention to what you are doing as the team is falling apart around you is unacceptable. No play pissed me off more than this one.
This post NAILS IT!!!Of all my years of watching football (at every level), that might have been the dumbest looking punt coverage play I have ever seen.
We execute perfectly on the punt (exactly how you draw it up), and then that ridiculous play happens.
It certainly wasn't the only thing that led to the loss. But when you do things like that, you SHOULD lose.
Stupid.

This is what I think happened to him. He had himself convinced he was right at the start of the end zone because that’s where the inscription is starting. Kid hustled down there, got in position and ……screw it, I’m blaming Wegner.
Correct, Redding downing the ball in the end zone just assured that this was a complete team loss, on all three phases of the game.No way do I blame the loss tonight on Redding. Didn't help but he had more than enough company, starting at the top.
Redding didn't give up four TD passes in 16 minutes. Rossi's defense did.I'm not giving Rossi a pass. But his job also included 11 individual players at the same time. Redding had the most basic....simple job here.....and it very well may have been the difference between a win and a loss.
