Did you watch our last playoff game?  - I never want to see a repeat of that.  Killer instinct my a**.

They never have had it. Never will

What will be, will be.

So do I have this right.... our next opponent, No. Colorado, is like 0 for 4???? If we can’t totally dominate this team, two issues:

1) we’re screwed, and

2) changes are needed (not sure what).

Look at the scores Northern Colorado is actually pretty decent. We won’t blow them out unless something really changes with our team. They have a really good qb.

Yes ............... changes.  Good thing changes are Bubba's strong suit.

Yea, forgot that.... even so their backup had them down 7 to end the third quarter on the road at Weber.

There's a laundry list of bullet points I'd like to make about the game and season, but right now I don't really give a.......     

I'm just happy we have Chaves.

Jaelen Johnson is a name und fans should keep an eye on. Attended a few a practices and he definitely has the look and ability just a tad underweight.  Has great feet and positioning.  With it sounding like zeke will be out (damnit.....damnit!) I think Jaelen will get some time.  Not sure if the coaches will pull his shirt ....maybe play him the four games and  keep him shirted ?  Regardless...the kid has talent. 

Jaelen Johnson hasn't gained any wait in almost 2 years, and needs to gain 30 to 40 lbs fast if he's going to play NG.  He hasn't won a 1 on one yet this year, much less being able to take on double teams.  He was getting pushed back 5 yards consistently against IDS on one on ones.  He does have good feet, but coaches have him playing the wrong position.

Are you talking Johnson or Morrison?

I watched a couple of our guys getting knocked off the ball while taking on double teams when IDS was gashing us up the gut on running plays. Why don't our guys drop to their knees to neutralize the double team? You do that or get skinny and take on one of the blockers, not try to take on both of them and get put on roller skates. Just wondering.

[Old School Guy]

And can someone please explain why Deion is out there in man coverage with no help over the top. Nice kid, athletic kid but he ain't Deion Sanders. IDS was licking their chops on that last TD drive the minute they saw Deion in press coverage with no help. Do we have a nickle or dime package?? Just wondering.

They ended up pulling him and sliding Holm over there at the end.

Jaelen Johnson.  Not Jalen Morrison.

If you are going to disparage a kid at least get the right one.

Also Morrison hasn’t gained weight because he had an injury. And to say 2 years is blatantly false it hasn’t even been 1.5 years. I sense the anxt of a player relative in that post.

Amazing how fast things can change for a team in a season.  Last week we were 2-1 coming off a huge upset win of a top 5 team on the road.  This week, UND is currently 3 point dogs to 0-4 Northern Colorado.

Isn't that the truth. What the last two weeks really shows everyone is not to overreact either way. It's too early in the season and at 2-2 it's far from over. I've said it before, but this isn't a bad team at all, lets see how this plays out.

Be a High Roller on this one, find a Bookie, get Some Action with Hanging the SW 40 and Take The Points before the Line Changes and we aren't the Dog anymore. After Sundays Fighting Hawks' players reading of this Forum, it's a Lock Pic!

That's what opportunity looks like for both the team and degenerate gamblers like myself..

[UND-FB-FAN]

This will end up a limbo year pushing UND on towards extended mediocrity.

6-5, no playoffs

some happy because UND improved from 2017 and had a winning record

some upset and angry because UND missed playoffs 

all depends what your expectations are, and those are all over the place on this website

Heraldo Sports headlines :LOOKING FOR ANSWERS  - "Scoring three times more in the first half than the second, UND Football eyeing changes"

According to Bubba "We've talked to our team about it and talked to the Captains".  ..... "Changes may be as simple as how we warm up for the half." (this seems to be the end of the discussion on changes) - Talking to the Captains is good, but how about, I don't know, TALKING TO YOUR COACHES.   We have plain and simply been out coached and out adjusted every game - especially when we have the ball.  Unless Bubba and company take a long, hard look at what they are doing (and no, it's not the calisthenics) it will be a frustrating season.  This shouldn't be rocket science.  I hope there was a lot more unsaid that Bubba plans because he and his crew are looking like inflexible Jr. High coaches when it comes to in-game changes.

"This recent trend of the UND offense coming out hot and running all over teams only to be completely shut down in the second half is concerning.  It tells us that defensive coordinators are figuring it out at halftime but there is no ensuing cat/mouse game.  The UND offense isn’t adjusting with a new look or plan.  21 points in the first half.  0 in the second half."

Looks like even UNDfootball360 may end up eventually agreeing with some of the “idiots” on this website.

My bad, I meant Morrison.  And I'm not disparaging him, the coaches have him playing the wrong position.  Look at the film.
