My guess: We aren't throwing deep more often because of the personnel we have right now. There were a few deep throws on Saturday. None connected. Until we can succeed with these throws, we may not even see very many of them. And, yes, people will load the box on us.BGSU33 wrote:I cannot stand the offense we are trying to run. We are absolutely no threat of doing anything downfield and teams know it. Teams are loading the box because of it, and when we try and run we struggle doing it, and when we pass we’re doing everything underneath. It seems like almost every pass attempt is within 10 yards of the line of scrimmage, and most are way short of 10 yards at that.

Still haven't seriously looked at stats. Turning off the game early has been a pretty common thing in recent years and I've been tending to a sick one year old. So on my list of things that concern me right now, the health of my daughter trumps BG football by a substantially wide margin.
Yeah the final was ugly. Really ugly. And this is the worst case scenario I considered early in the season. And this is squarely on the previous coaching staff who completely mismanaged the program every step of the way.
I had patience with Clawson because I knew his background and could see progress. And so I will have patience with Loeffler. This will be a year you have to throw out the results entirely. Hopefully in 2020 we will see some amount of progress but realistically I don't expect to be competitive until 2021.
Bill Connelly's previews often talked about the third year for a coach being when things come together ... or fall apart. Brandon's third year was 2005, when BG was picked by everyone to win the conference and instead the floor fell out. Clawson's third year was 2011, when the team improved by three wins and showed some good signs in most games. Jinks' third year was last year when it became evident that the program was only regressing. As much as I hate to say it, we're all just going to have to wait. Until then ... support the team and donate to the Falcon Club.

Re: Kent State
This guy has been polluting the hockey threads for awhile. Once I put him on block my outlook on this board improved dramatically. I question whether he's even a BG guy.Schadenfreude wrote:Globetrotter wrote:1 guy talks about his sick daughter and another goes back to 3 posts ago to attack him.

Re: Kent State
Yep...if someone insists on being an ass..just block them. Don't feed them by responding, it only gives them what they want.
When I was a mod I would nuke posts like that and if the person persisted in being a jerk, I would edit all their posts to read "I am a slow learner"

It's not the fall that hurts...it's when you hit the ground.
Re: Kent State
To be honest I hadn't even noticed any of the posts for a while thanks to the block feature due to antics on the hockey forum. Appreciate folks calling out this kind of nonsense. Apparently I've got a stalker on AZZ these days, which is a bit weird ...

Re: Kent State
Such a sensitive group....wish you guys knew a little about college athletics. Outside of a couple posters, it’s probably about as uneducated a message board as you can get. I’m sure that’s a big part why anyone hardly posts anymore.
Re: Kent State
You don't even post about college athletics in 75% of your posts. You just make fun of what other people say. I've worked in and around college athletics professionally for the last 9 or so years, so it is in my professional opinion that you're an idiot.TommyG wrote:Such a sensitive group....wish you guys knew a little about college athletics.

Please don't feed the troll. He'll disappear if you don't engage with him.

Yeah, but he disappears quicker if you put him on your foes list. The snark factor was too high for me. A note to the admin may stop it.

Please, people don't quote his idiot takes. Just ignore him. He's been trolling this site for a long time; insulting posters and vomiting up statements that literally make your screen reek.jpfalcon09 wrote:Please don't feed the troll. He'll disappear if you don't engage with him.
