Do you realize....?

You do realize we could go 0-4 also right?

I'll unload and then end on a positive note. Some coaches simply insist on a highly productive offense. I dont think KF does that. Well we know that, history has shown that he does not insist on a potent offense. Maybe he thinks the college game can be won with defense and just enough offense. Maybe he knows what he has as talent on offense and tempers expectations on that.

the crowd will be electric for Wisconsin, but we have all seen what a dominant running game series after series can do to a crowd - but the PSU game comes to mind in 2008. They were a juggernaut and we all wondered if the hawks could hang in. They ran about 30 plays the first 2 series and came away with what something like 6 or 10 points. It looked like domination but Iowa trailed by a narrow margin and it wasn't going to be easy sledding for the nits that day. The hawks hung around, showed a lot of heart weathering that blistering 1st quarter.

I've forgotten how exciting and yet frustrating a 7/8 win season can be - for a team that is on the upswing. You see flashes of really fine football coupled with exasperating bone head stuff.

I am not sure what to think about this program but I know one thing that there is a HUGE problem with personnel decisions made and influenced by the head coach. That is part of the reason things get bogged down.

Game on the line in the 4th quarter we come out with the tight package, single wide out set and who is the receiver we send out? Yes, not Damond Powell who is the fastest player on this team and has demonstrated an ability to catch the ball and make big time plays. No we come out with about our 5th or 6th string wide out in McCarron who is an underneath route/possession receiver and send him on a deep route. Go figure he could not get separation on the deep route and the play fails. I am not sure McCarron had been in the game as a wide out at that point so was that a typical KF having to throw a bone to another underdog player? Look I do not dislike McCarron but that was not the time and place for him and gosh darn it can we get the most explosive wide receiver that we have on the field and throw the ball to him down the field!

His program is riddled with stupid personnel mistakes. Just watch the game and laugh at the comedy.

This is a good Wisconsin team and we could get rolled if we keep this Mickey Mouse stuff up.

I know, that personnel groupings we used against OSU sucked and did nothing to improve our chances to win. There is nothing wrong with our personnel groupings. The only problem with our offense right now is our inability to stick with the passing game and work teams out of their commitment to stop the run. Watch the NW game, they were stacking the box and even when they didn't prior to the snap, they had DBs moving toward the LOS at the snap. Keep throwing the ball and test them deep more often...and I agree Powell should be one of those guys. You have to throw them out of their sell outs to stop our running game. We have to commit to it.

No I disagree Powell should be out there on the majority of snaps. Few d-backs in this league can cover this guy one-on-one down the field. If he is on the field he is a threat to go deep on every snap and that could end up commanding safety help from the other team. That means one less player in the box and possibly another receiver getting separation on a pattern.

Play Powell, Smith and Manley the majority of snaps with Vandeburg and Hillyer on occasion.

Big time players make big time plays but they cannot make them from the bench.

hahah like me i'm in college and still typing this way , brah

Yeah, I'm in college. Yes, I'm in classes with some of the players. No, I did not realize your point is only acceptable if written in proper college formatting... Which I'm guessing you douchebags probably didn't even go to college, considering your argument is "u dumb.. Hahaha.. Dumb.. You can't write on the internet like I canz.. BRAWNDO"

 

[RocknRollface]

I can't state it enough, this is a Valid complaint and deserves some criticizm and demands to be fixed. I am regularly called a KF "apologist", which IMO is one of the stupidest things stated on these boards...that said, being outscored 50something to 7 is the 2nd half this season just can't be coincidence....and needs fixed...pronto.

Id be interested to see what the numbers are by season through out KFs time. I could be misrepresenting but its seems like this is a trend that is not isolated to this year.

 

[HawksMN]

Ain't gonna get rolled this weekend. Book it.

 

[franstheman]

Agree with you on many things - however can't agree with this.

Never can I see losing to a MAC team at home EVER. Honestly never should have lost that game was a collapse.

NIU is rolling up horrible teams - ya they are a solid team.

But the day I can stomach losing to MAC teams at home.... no way.

Well get used to losing at home to mac teams cause its happened 3 times since 2007.

Um...not sure where to begin...but...KF doesn't call plays during the game. He doesn't call the packages or sets, doesn't "overrule". Sorry. Nice try, though.

You mean, like the "big-time" play late against OSU where he stopped on the route and the FDB picked off the pass? Like those? K.
