Badgers Football 2019

[homer]

Yeah I mean if all you're going to do is fair catch and then not be able to do that every time you may want to try someone else.

[PeaveyFury]

 

Also, Jack Dunn is really, really bad at returning punts. Seems like he makes the wrong choice on catch/let it bounce every other time he's back there.

 

One more time for emphasis.

[homer]

Going for two? Thanks, Pat.

[AKCheesehead]

He’s had an awful game. I’d be in favor of someone else getting a try. Can’t be muffing punts so much it’ll cost you.

[AKCheesehead]

What in the hell!!

[young guns]

Are we just going to implode?

[homer]

That was a false start.

[homer]

Orr has been everywhere today.

[Fear The Chorizo]

After today - defense is great and will have them in every game regardless of opponent.

 

However, offense could just be bad enough to cost them in every game against even a decent defense when it has a bad day. Conan's play today is very concerning

[PinaMadness]

This clock can't count down soon enough. This has been a really sloppy 4th quarter. It's like they're trying to lose.

Their kicker has to be hurt...right?

Lol...gotta love auto correct

I turned on the game in the early 4th. I've only seen 3 offensive plays by W. Wierd game.

[PinaMadness]

Fitz is an idiot. I could see him going for it after the first TD, but an extra point here would've made it a one possession game. Now the game is over so long as UW takes care of the ball.

[homer]

That was a good place for a bootleg.

Down 15 you still need 8 + 7 to tie so you're going to need a 2 at some point anyway, it doesn't really matter when it is. Personally I always disagreed with the norm on that and would prefer to take it after TD #1 so I know right away if I need 1 more score or 2. There's no statistical advantage to waiting.

[young guns]

These guys are harping on it quite a but does it really matter if lose because you cant get a point conversion down 9 or down 2?

[AKCheesehead]

I agree adam. The first 2 pt try was silly. The 2nd time made a lot more sense.

If you had seen more you'd be even less impressed - that side of the ball didn't really show up today

I just don't agree with that strategy. The goal, if you are trailing in a game, is to eliminate a possession on every score if possible, especially this late in the game. Northwestern willingly chose not to do that in not electing to kick the extra point.

[CheezWizHed]

So is this the first good defensive team we played? Whole 4th quarter and we had 6 very unimpressive offensive plays (not counting the knee downs).

[AKCheesehead]

Well it’s over with.

[homer]

Obvious trap game with Kent St coming up next week.

But you don't *know* that 8 is a one possession game, it is still predicated on whether or not you can convert the 2. It does not matter whether you fail on the first touchdown or fail on the 2nd, if you fail to convert your 2 point conversion, 15 points is still a 3 possession game.
