SF was a really good team a year ago that was absolutely destroyed by injuries this year. I was worried they'd get healthy at the right time and be a nightmare in the playoffs. Glad they're gone.

Aren't we in the drivers seat now? I think we’re all nervous about the Titans game and think we need one more Saints loss...

Does that ball not hit out of bounds right before he picks that up?

This game was absolutely over as long as they didn’t let them score quickly. Special teams literally put them in FG range without running an offensive play.

Completely garbage, special teams.

That’s probably the game they called on Fox yesterday....

At least they made them burn a ton of clock.

Flag flag flag flag flag. Review. Flag flag flag.

These announcers are bad. By the time he has the ball, his second foot comes down out. Toe drag doesn’t matter before you have the ball...but I never trust Al Riveron to get anything right.

Am I the only one wondering who Randy Ramsey is right now?

Absolutely exhausting the Lions’ defense.

MVS was absolutely held there.....

Great play by Savage.

It’s somewhat astounding that with his resume, Darrell Bevell hasn’t gotten a look as a head coach before.

Lowry has had a miserable season so far. Nice to see some life there. And Gary!!

As widely rumored, the Badgers and Gophers will play next weekend in Madison for the Axe.

Lovie Smith out at Illinois. Zero development with that program in his five seasons, so completely unsurprising.

After an evening to digest the 'final game of the regular season', a few final thoughts on this Badger season, even though there may be 1-2 games still left in it, unfortunate though that may be: Complete offensive failure this year, which is astounding considering how this season started vs. Illinois and Michigan. Add in virtually no spring ball for the new players, a weird fall, and a mid-season COVID shut-down, and here we are. Chryst needs to take play calling back. I think there's young talent on the roster, which is good since I don't feel that the 'old' talent is all that good. It looks more and more like guys like Dunn and Groshek, etc. are just taking up roster spots and playing because they're upperclassmen and hypothetically it's 'their turn'. More Berger, Dike, Chandler in 2021 and less of the other garbage. The defense has continued to be good. Rough to give up 28 yesterday, but you had an offense that did nothing and kept them on the field all day. Hard not to finally have the floodgates open a bit at the end of that one. Lots to be excited about there, which has basically been the case for the last 7-8 seasons for Wisconsin. Honestly, this o-line is not great for all the talent they have. Obviously, the injury at center hurt them immensely, but I don't feel like the holes are there. Not sure how many more yards a guy like Berger (or JT) would have been able to get yesterday, honestly. Finally, the QB issue. I'm down on Mertz right now because there's a lot of reasons to be down on him. He also has a billion legitimate excuses he could use. But, his play is not good right now and one of the main reasons we're losing these close games. I now feel confident that A)anyone who thought that playing him over Coan last year would have yielded better results in that season is clearly wrong, and B)that starting having a healthy Coan and playing him might have resulted in 1-2 more wins this season. Obviously, Mertz is the future and the potential is there, but right now, he's Alex Hornibrook with less short accuracy. Anyway, we'll see what the next few weeks brings. I think it's only right to try to get an axe game in, even if I'm depressed to think about what the results may be.

Now we get to watch the hilarity that is a Badger offense trying to overcome a deficit.

Sad that 9-0 would feel like an insurmountable lead here.... Edit: and 14-0 definitely feels like it...

Well, that’s probably why they didn’t kick it vs Northwestern.

Jack Dunn- featured receiver!

How in the world has Iowa won five games?

No points here, I think they bring Coan out in the second half.

Yet another third down play that had literally no chance of getting the first down.
