Pretty ugly ball here early in the 4th. Bad turnover by Brook.

Korver and Matthews look like fantastic additions already. Two four point plays in the 2nd quarter! Nice halftime lead against the Heat. If I have a complaint about this team, and it's a minor one, it'd be nice to start seeing better FT success.

Game 8: Packers @ Chiefs - Sunday, October 27th 7:20PM
adambr2 replied to homer's topic in Other Sports
I get this. When there are so few games, one has to try and read the tea leaves to gauge a team’s quality. But it got me thinking: did the 2010 team have any signature wins in the regular season? The opener in Philly was nice, and ending the year with wins over NYG and the bears was big to make the playoffs, of course, but I don’t remember thinking those were ”signature wins” at the time (in fact, I was probably most impressed with the team during that New England game, and it ended up being a loss; sure Rodgers was out, but that was when I started to think that team could be really good). We may not know if any win is a signature win until long after the fact. Maybe Dallas goes on a run in the 2nd half and so curb stomping them in their house will feel pretty good later this year. Maybe we blow out KC tomorrow, but their fade could continue even after a Mahomes comes back. I just don’t think we can be sure of anything right now, other than the Pats are going to coast to the AFC championship again. Fun fact I learned while reminiscing: at no point all year did the 2010 pack trail by more than 7 points. My goodness, what a defense that was. I miss me some Charles Woodson. And BJ Raji. And young CM3. Signature win that year was beating the Jets on the road 9-0. Jets were the real deal at the time. Beating up the #1 seed Falcons in the divisional round though is when I finally thought "Wow. We're going to win it all." -
Try having a debate with someone who has produced no evidence and chalks everything up to lack of talent despite the number of Badgers enjoying strong NFL success, and doesn't even consider that scheme might be holding them back in college. UW has won 77% of their games since 2009. That's 6th best in college football. I guess I'm curious how much you think they should have won. to me, the # of guys in the nFL is about what I thought it would be. They are a top 15 program. They are not a top 5 program. I'd argue they've probably overperforned. Yeah, I'd like to see them have a little better success in big conference games, but they've been relatively successful in big bowl games. All in all, they certainly haven't underperformed their talent level overall. A top QB recruit has eluded them since Wilson transferred and that's probably the biggest thing that has held them back from being a next level team.

Try having a debate with someone who has produced no evidence and chalks everything up to lack of talent despite the number of Badgers enjoying strong NFL success, and doesn't even consider that scheme might be holding them back in college. Literally almost everyone has conceded that scheme and coaching could be better. You just don't even really notice it because you're too busy telling everyone here how wrong we are. And plenty of folks have produced evidence. You just refuse to hear anything that you don't want to hear.
-
So yeah, you still haven't responded to the disparity in 4 and 5 star recruits and just keep bringing up that UW has good NFL players too and just thank everyone for "making your point" when they present contrary evidence. Not sure what else to say, it's impossible to have a meaningful debate with a guy who just says, "See, told ya I was right!" every time someone introduces evidence that goes against your point. Hopefully if they meet OSU again they can install this new better and more dynamic offense with the same players to close that 31 point gap between the two teams.
-
The West really stinks. Minnesota would have to be in the CFP if they run it and beat PSU, Iowa and win the B10 championship but that ain't gonna happen.
-
After the MSU game, I really did think maybe our defense was good enough to give us a chance to take that step this year. I was wrong. Not sure what has happened since then, but they've been pretty well exposed as pretenders. There just isn't a nice way to put it. They were lost in the second half today against OSU.
-
It's quite clear you're going to die on this hill, but again, there are people who do this for a living who recognize that OSU had SIXTY four and five star recruits from this recruiting class while Wisconsin had nine. These guys know a lot more about this stuff than you and I. It doesn't mean the scheme is perfect or couldn't be better, but scheme does not get you blown out 38-7. Do you think it's just a coincidence that Alabama, Clemson, and OSU consistently have the best results while also having the best recruiting classes, or among the best? You think they all just gameplan that much better and scheme that much better? Yes, JJ Watt is awesome but you can't just cherry pick a few top names from UW programs to compare them side by side with OSU. One, you're missing the sheer volume of talent that has come from OSU, they had 45 active players coming into the 2019 NFL season, nearly double that of UW at 26. And college talent does not always translate perfectly to the professional game. Wisconsin has done well. They're a good program. They're clearly not on the level of a Bama, OSU, etc. in regard to anything, and that includes talent and recruiting.
-
No need for Blue. Chryst failed to figure it out and adjust. The offensive scheme got us to the red zone, what? Once? I'm at a loss as to how anyone could watch this game and not see that Ohio State has much better players than Wisconsin.
-
Kansas State is putting the hurt on Oklahoma. That would make me feel better about today if we hadn't lost to Illinois last week.
-
That's a far cry from our goals from 8 days ago. We went into Illinois thinking even one OSU loss didn't necessarily take us out of CFP contention. It's hard to consider much from here very satisfactory. Don't even control our destiny to even represent the West anymore.
-
Wow, they are really outscheming us today.
-
Still won't be much of it. Clemson, OSU, and the SEC Champs will be in. Maybe a second SEC team or Notre Dame.
-
Those who predicted the 42-17 type route are looking pretty wise now.
-
Yeah, OSU had 60 four and five star recruits in this year's class. UW had 9. Anyone who thinks there isn't an enormous talent gap between OSU and UW is just wrong.
-
The thing is before last week they'd still have a chance to put this behind them and still have a chance to get in by running it and winning the rematch. But they shot that all to hell by blowing it against Illinois last week.
-
Holy smokes was this team ever overrated at #6.
-
Huh? You're talking about something completely different. Yes, a team less talented like Illinois can beat a team like UW, but Illinois isn't going to win a championship. Leadership and mentality and all that does not win championships. Yes, it can overcome marginal differences in talent but the top teams in the country and perennial contenders always have a massive recruiting advantage.
-
Everything has to fall their way. Notably injuries and schedule. It's part of the reason I don't get too emotionally invested in Badger football - not nearly to the extent of Packer football. I realize what a massive disadvantage they're at and understand that it's highly likely I'll never see a Badger championship in my lifetime.
-
That's a wrap, folks. Looks like another Outback Bowl season.
-
5 years ago people were saying the Badgers would win the B10 Championship and make a playoff in the next 5 years. Until they can solve the massive recruiting deficiency, which is almost an unsolvable problem, they probably aren't going to have that breakthrough season.
-
Terrible pass by Coan on 3rd down.
-
Such a subjective overruling.
-
Finally get something going and the defense quickly makes it for naught. Just too much talent gap between these two teams.
