That was amateur hour. The staff should be embarrassed.

Coan and Stanley both had their best games against us.

Fleck's conviction is that you grow out of failure. Embrace it, learn from it, and walk away; don't take it with you. I see a lot of people who are too proud to admit failure and are thereby unable to learn from it; this team and staff are not those people.

100% spot on. PJ basically said this in the presser. Gophers have never been on the big stage like that before. Wisconsin it's virtually every year. There is going to be some learning. Personally on 4th I would have ran that pop pass to the TE where it looks like a run and they step back and throw a jumper to the TE. The way they were crashing when Seth was in that would have been a TD no big mo would have really been on our side at 14-0. Future is bright with what comes back. Overall GREAT season. If we would have replaced the PSU win with Wisconsin I would have been so happy. Same record but a different vibe.
 

Someone was complaining Kirk C and someone else about Tyler Johnson. Cmon man how many times as Tyler climbed the ladder to make amazing catches in the end zone. I had a problem with them running on first and second down when it was first and goal.
I don’t know how the plays are called and if Fleck has veto power, but I wanted to see more downfield passing (over the middle like Bateman’s first TD). I am guessing pass protection or maybe the way Wisconsin lined up prevented that. It seems like our wide receivers were having a very hard time adjusting and timing their leaps on the 50-50 balls. The big plays to Cepheus were over the shoulder passes and he had more separation. Wisconsin played a great game and had a great plan.
This game hurt a lot. Still very proud of this team and the staff.

Why not give it a try? Shake things up.

Yesterday was total fluke Wisconsin QB had the game of his life. Wisconsin DBs got away with a lot on the Minnesota WRs should have some PI calls especially on the one in the end zone on 4th down.

Game of his life?

Yep. I’d be embarrassed by 10-2 at a program that’s won 9 games once since these players great grandparents were in diapers. Hell, it’s easy to win at Minnesota. Thanks for allowing me to laugh my ass off. Embarrassed. The last thing they should be is embarrassed. It’s people like you that are embarrassing. People that don’t have a clue. ??

How did you feel as Wisconsin rowed the boat with the axe after they cleaned our clock yesterday?

Fleck is now 0-14 when trailing at halftime. He needs to learn more from his failures because there certainly seems to be a pattern.
 



There are plenty of criticisms to be made on how the game played out yesterday. But those of you suddenly saying that KC stinks or that we're playing too simple just don't make sense to me. It's been working ALL season, including against Penn State and in the second half against Iowa. It just didn't happen yesterday.

I said before the game that we had to get a big lead early and force Wisconsin to go away from the run. Early on, it looked like we were on the way to just that, which is why the punt is the biggest criticism I have with how the way things went.

Those statements are not true. If it makes you feel better fine. The WI QB had a better completion % than Morgan coming into the game and the officials were looking very carefully at every play close to the goal line.

WI went away from the run between tackles very early because MN had stacked the line of scrimmage. That worked but the MN DC had no answer when WI started passing and using mis direction running plays at the edges.
 

It was our worst game - we were due I guess - but our defense really sucked in second half with big plays, etc... On to a bowl game...

I don't know what any team at any level gains by punting at the opponent's 34. I don't understand the two throws to Johnson in the end zone, neither of which was a short slant route...what we seem best at.

Murray Warmath, who would have won at least 10% more of his games had he not been so conservative (coached under one-platoon rules for years and chose his best defensive backs to start over his best offensive backs - a defensive coach) once punted on fourth down from the opponent's 28! It went into the end zone and was brought out to the 20, an eight yard punt.
