I finally get it!!! College football coaches need to quit watching all this film, quit spending all these hours in meetings and practices and game planning, and just read message boards for ALL the answers to their 'problems', Bahahahahahahaha.....................The saddest part is, is that you 'people' don't even get my joke!!! You ACTUALLY believe that what you say on these sites is relevant!!! Lol.....................
There's just something not right about this team....

After watching the tape (was at the game) the defense played pretty good,gave up a few plays and a few missed tackles but did pretty good considering how much they were on the field.The offense needs to clean some things up but the sky's not falling,special teams is a weapon that we need.Keep improving,cut down on mental mistakes and kick NW's butt.Go Hawks
The whole kapernick BS has caused endless drama in NFL locker rooms.
No way is a locker full of immature college students immune. Especially since a majority of Iowas team are had working blue collar guys who I'm
Sure don't appreciate diva behavior from a star.
Do you believe this? Are there a few crazy people out there? Sure. But most people are venting and giving opinions. Nobody thinks Greg Davis and KF are ready anything and making changes. It's a message board, nobody is writing gospel on here, including you.
Just stop
The only thing that is right is the kicking game. We haven't faced a decent team yet at the big ten level, and we're already getting exposed. Wait until we play MN, WI, MI, NE, hell even PSU. This defense isn't going to stop anybody, and we have no passing game at all, so guess what.. Teams will stack the box and stop the run. How are we going to score?
If the team is unified and spirited, it could still be a good season ahead.
I think Parker will play attacking (risky) D going forward. He has learned from msu and ndsu that it's foolish to get beaten up black and blue on long timeconsuming drives. He showed that against Rutgers. So we may give up a big play or two but won't have a completely exhausted D in the 4th going forward.
The O also might be scheduled to wake up. What's missing isn't even WR play (which could use improvement) imo as much as a lack of a cohesive poa. The play calling seems random so far and isn't allowing our guys to settle down and dictate anything. Still hopeful there because I think underestimated opponents (ndsu) and have played cconservatively so far.

Or maybe Cowherd has been right all this time.....Honestly, some of you act like you just became Hawk fans yesterday. The sky isn't falling. I honestly think we're going to see some big plays out of our receivers this week and it's possible that MVB's injury could cause us to run to pass first, which it doesn't seem we've been doing enough of lately. We also need to clean up some of the mental mistakes. To me this seems like a typical Iowa team that won't peak until November.
Not worried about King or any internal strife. I am however worried that CJB is hurt. Either that or the staff has told him to stay in the pocket so much that he's now thinking too much, instead of making plays. That's just my gut feeling though.

I'm not going to agree with the kicking game being the only thing that is right, but that said I'd change that to punting and kickoff game. We've yet to see much of anything in terms of field goals or extra points for that matter recently.

my bad, I suppose I need to follow the do not reply protocol. Funny thing is, I almost never reply to him. I guess everyone is onto his game now. Maybe he will go away.

Yep just ignore him.
There's nothing to 'hide'. I gave you 'folks' way to much credit. The sad part is there are a lot of 'real fans' that want o talk 'football' and try to learn some things, but you dorfs.
will never let that happen

Hide what? You 'dirty dozen' tards are freekin hilarious!!! What intelligent person couldn't laugh at our 'opinions', LOL................................... I talked to 20 'good' fans tonite in person, and we had a great conversation about the team. I finally am figuring out what 'type' of 'fan' hides out on a message board.

That could be part of the problem.... We do not have cohesiveness. And then the coaches are pounding into these guys. Even Kirk railed on the guys a week or so ago. That fire did not light squat...
It reminds me a little like Greg Davis' first year. Old Kirk forcing his offensive demands into an offensive scheme designed the opposite way. Things did not mess. The Davis system with Old Kirk's offensive philosophies, is a lot like pounding a square peg in a round hole. It won't work.... But the special needs kid just keeps trying.... Things are definitely clashing.
That's just the offensive side. Although that is hurting the defense. Since they are always on the field, AND Kirk has never been huge on player rotation... Instead of tiring teams out in the second half, we are already gassed come midway through the 3rd quarter.
I am not throwing the towel in yet. But this team looks to be off the tracks, like the coaches have lost them. Whether they can right the ship or not, is a prediction that does not have favorable odds. Fingers crossed!

Half the team, including CJ are giant red-neck Trump supporters, so I could see the King theory being true
