There is blame everywhere. Everyone talks about how good the defense played. That is one shit offense and they scored 27. Busted coverage on one, brutal tackling on another. Interceptions were there to be had.
he's done...bench him...he's done.
has Fleck ever won vs Iowa?
Gophers will lose at Indiana and then at home vs wis
when you run a check with me with the sideline the whole playbook is open, when the QB changes a play at the line he is limited on what he can call
How about we dictate the terms 75% of the time.
I dunno, IU lost by 5 touchdowns to Rutgers at home and hasn't won a Big Ten game. Let's not go overboard.
It will never happen. It will be wash, rinse, repeat. I don't blame Tanner. You will always have dropped balls and wounded ducks. It's the coaches that put him in these situations. If he's struggling, pull him, let him sit and observe. Call plays that play to his strengths and quit with the f*****g running down the clock. We aren't a service academy.
Am I going to be a horror fan if I say we lost the last two games plus the Detroit bowl game we will be playing? Whatever it takes to make PJ realize he is on the wrong path with his OC and attachment to QB.
Me too. Nobody can doubt he is a great person and hopefully a leader of the community some day. But this team needs a change. I really wish suckford was that change, but since it won't be, save Tanner's legacy of 2019. He is a stud, just got ruined by horrible coaching.
Suckford needs to go!!
If you mean 'Sanford the QB coach' who hasn't helped Tanner become a better QB, then I'd tend to agree with you... but you probably mean 'Sanford the OC.' That I can't get behind. The Gophers had the right plan and the playcalling was good... just didn't have the personnel on the field to get the job done...
I'd support that if he took Morgan with him...
It was the wrong game plan, you come in with the correct game plan you can beat that Iowa team by 14.
If it comes to that, why play him...? Play Kramer. Better yet, Ky Thomas looks pretty good taking the direct snaps... just play him and run it 100%
That poor pig
The Gophers put up 22 on IA. The most IA has allowed in a game this year previous to the Gophers was the 27 they gave up to WI (with one of those scoring drives being 1 total yard, and another scoring drive being 4 total yards, due to getting turnovers deep in IA territory). Next closest is 20 to PSU.
I am a big PJ fan. But it is becoming apparent he often hampers this team on gameday, and will put the team in unadvantageous positions. It is highly likely this team takes a step backward next year. PJ needs to look into the mirror and “change his best” this offseason. I am still on the wagon, but his leash is getting a bit shorter…and that’s assuming changes are made. There is no way coaches Sanford and Wenger, and Morgan should come back next year (at least as a starter). If any of those happen, it’s obvious PJ is unwilling to self evaluate and make the changes the need to happen.
The Nebraska game was when I thought Tanner was turning the corner for the year. Seriously, he set the school record for completions in the first half, and I was thinking, I missed this guy from 2019. Even his first INT of that game was a good pass that a DB, who was beat by his WR, somehow caught up to it and made a great play and our WR didn’t fight for the ball. I know some say 2019 was more about the receivers than Tanner, but even if it was, his confidence was apparent and he was decisive. Even willing to throw into tight windows where I found myself saying, “Damn that was a ballsy throw.”
