How many games last year did you feel like we were just absolutely less talented? Like we lost solely because they were bigger faster stronger at every position. Not games where we lost because of stupid penalties, bad time management, and poor special teams play, or generally poor execution eventually costing us?



Spoiler alert

I don't disagree overall but I don't think NIL is our problem we can solve first. The coaching situation desperately needs addressed. If that was addressed I could see more people donating to help.

But as long as we're constantly beating ourselves what's the point?

The OL was outplayed, out coached, out talented, slower and weaker than nearly every DL that we played play season. All the things you mentioned just made the gaps even worse.

That’s still on Pittman regardless.

hey doofus, I answered above...

3 games is my answer. And yes, we were most definitely out-talented in 2 of those, and most likely all 3. fwiw

a chicken or the egg thing. No decent coach will take this job without having a nil that will compete... and Nil most likely will not be up to par, without a decent coach.

whelp!

What’s your pain level now? I had shots last week and can get up and around now with a little pain, but the majority of pain is still in my foot. I think there might be some neuropathy there. Hoping not.

Why spend NIL to watch a team lead the league in penalties due to lack of discipline? If the kids want someone to invest in them they need to figure out how to win games or at least bother to know the playbook and snap counts...I wouldn't get paid either if I put in low effort and got poor results.....sucks to suck

Putting good money after bad results isn't a recipe for success. When the coaching improves and players are put in a position to succeed then the investments will come.

We only got blown out s couple times last year. We executed poorly which tends to make all close games cost you. If we really were smaller and slower and less talented by a wide margin why was it so close despite all the penalties turn overs and self inflicted mistakes?
