You are clueless. If you want to bitch about an offensive position bitch about the receivers, they are subpar. Our QB is light years better than our receivers. Also, our OC is nowhere near good enough.
I am not clueless, I played the position
Unless, and until, we get better - and tougher - in the trenches, and on both sides of the LOS, you are seeing reality.
The defense has regressed. Agreed.
Wer you here in 2007 or 2010?
With a great o-line and 2 NFL backs.
Going to need to establish a running game to beat the ducks. In 2003 the Gophers ran the ball 55 times for 241 yards and 4 TDs to wear them down.
That team had a great o-line and 2 NFL.backs!

Just what are we doing that merits praise?
Yes, for sure these games are way worse to watch.
Pride cannot fix a lack of foot speed.
Do you think cash might help? PJ does not have the horses that "blue bloods" can buy.. Nike supplies the Ducks with tremendous resources.
It would be helpful if our receivers could achieve some separation downfield. Underneath stuff is all that is available.
We have a whole litany of guys that shouldn’t be playing 97, 9, 7, 24, 17 and I’m not sure 1 is going to be any good on defense 73, 74, 65, all those non-de script tight ends other than 86 that see a ton of reps collectively; and I’m wavering on our QB on offense. I have no idea why they continue to get thrown out there.; other than the QB we just hope that he needs to take his lumps and next year will make a massive move upwards. That said, I believe we do not suffer from a talent issue. 2 and 49 should be getting a ton of reps on D along with whatever freshman DBs we have now that we don’t have to worry about burning their red shirt. Hell, I’d be OK if we ran out five brand new OL guys next week couldn’t get any worse. I think PJ more than any coach I have maybe ever seen sticks with “his guys“ to the bitter end regardless of evidence every week that they are not up to the job.
They can?
On the other hand, it pretty much seems that with the other team's receivers someone gets open. Is that our D or just their receiver's talent?

Brewster's last team (2010) won just one game. Jeff Horton came in and restored spirit
I'm starting to wonder if it is more play design or the QB. There were some pretty obvious open guys missed for much more yardage. In some cases they were they next layer beyond the guy he is throwing to so Drake is looking right at them but choosing the two yard check down. Drake has shown he can make most of the throws. The online sucks but there are other ways to try and help the QB beyond tunnel screens and two yard routes. Yes, check downs are better than lost yards or no yards but that cannot be your offensive identity.
I do not think.a week off can add foot speed or affect a severe talent gap.
Yes. He is great with the kids and represents the university well but he needs coordinators he can rely on at crucial in-game moments.
