***Official Hawks Curbstomp Purdue And The Boilermakers Is A Stupid Name Game Thread***

Omg he held Ragini for 5 yards

Yep bad no call, terrible no call. Petras didnt have the chance to survey the field cuz smith marsette was very open

Fire Gary Barta

Well too bad for the hawks, they need to improve a lot in one week.

Way way way too many penalties,

 

[trj]

They put a lot more pressure on petras in the 2nd half

Agreed. However there were throws to be made and he whiffed.

 

[DDThompson]

I will take a 3-5 season this year if you can give me a 10-2 next year

3-5 is what I predict. Wouldn’t be surprised if Illinois and MSU are only wins

10-2 is unlikely.

 

[thedukeofearl]

Yeah, miss two holds but get the face mask

Extremely questionable face mask

He barely touched the face mask

We seem to get screwed at Purdue

 

[hwks1]

Lousy QB play. Wow, look at me throw the ball to nowhere - my arm so strong

 

[Ben Rumson]

Oh boy. Bad game turnovers and penalties. Not very Iowa like.

Establishing a new culture doesn't mean that some of the good things we were used to in the past won't change also. Not everything changes for the best.

 

[Fryowa]

Lots of wide open misses. Petras needs to clean that up. We gave up 50-75 yards missing throws by a mile.

Clean that up? Like you clean up inability?

1st game andrenaline rush I get that. For a quarter it looked like he was settling down, but he missed a lot throws.

 

[thedukeofearl]

Petras simply needs more experience

Really too early to dismiss Spencer

We should win the next 2 games

Northwestern and Michigan State @ Iowa

Lose the next 2

At Minnesota and Penn State

Win @ Illinois

We might split the last 2 home games against Nebraska and Wisconsin

We could end up 4-4

Perhaps 3-5 is more likely

I did not have high expectations this season, before the Virus

Still going to be fun watching the games

At least it wasn't another humdrum Saturday

lol, the 8+ penalties and you are going for the discipline issues right out of the gate

 

[pythagoras]

Two fumbles were huge in drives the hawks were running all over Purdue

 

[AIRBHG]

The name of this thread aged well...

 

[ssckelley]

The refs sucked, I know they are an easy target and people always want to blame them but there were some easy to call holds that were missed. But that's not why they lost the game, it just didn't help. Blown coverages all over the place, how you let Bell get so wide open especially down in the redzone is mind blowing. The turnovers crushed 2 scoring opportunities and an over anxious QB was missing wide open receivers and over throwing the ball all day.

This season is not gonna go over very well at all.

 

[trj]

Ball security will be a point of emphasis next week in practice I would guess.

I just saw the replay on this play as I was listening to the radio when it happened. HTF do you miss that as a referee? The defender had his arm on Ragaini's shoulder for a solid 10 yards.

 

[trj]

I feel a little better, Penn St. lost. They got shit to figure out as well.

 

[trj]

1. The refs were fucking terrible. So completely one sided it was laughable. Purdue was holding all game and nothing gets called. Bullshit.
2. Petras isn't going to lead us to many wins. Next man up please. Preferably someone who can hit a wide open receiver and not overthrow them every fucking time.
3. Did I mention the refs were fucking bullshit? Fucking cocksucking cheaters.

Give Petras more time. Let him have this season before you throw in the towel.
