Playcalling, coaching, etc. - consolidated thread

[Rogue52]

The playcalling was questionable in a couple spots, but putting the blame completely on them is wrong.

 

[ISUFan22]

Momentum swung completely on Leonard Johnson's hit on Moeaki. We had the momentum with our defense playing lights out in the second half. Iowa goes on to score 14 points and put the game out of reach.

If the over/under for fans that use that play as an excuse for losing was at 100 - I'd take the over. :wink:

Didn't like the call either, but we had already missed a few kicks and much more before that point.

I would have liked to seen us go for it on that short FG on 4th and 1. But, we had failed at that in the previous week...so...

There we go, way to take over this thread Cyclones! :smile:

I know. I'm torqued at the staff for having Singleton make a horrible attempt on a tackle on that punt return for a TD.

We lost today as a team - coaches and players a like.

Please. If this was a Mac-coached team, you would be going off.

Probably cost us this game, between poor calls,and not getting the play in in time, and not going for it on 4th down several times.:sad:

remember when everyone was on my case last weekend? i told you our play calling was gonna cost us and i told you that iowa has a strong defense. overall, we looked pretty good. moved the ball better than iowa but couldnt put up any points. our tackling needs work! if we would have tackled better, would have been a different outcome

 

[cyismydog]

I said part of the blame goes on the players...but the fact we couldn't get a play in and called for 39 seconds is inexcusable.

You would be sorely mistaken, but thanks for trying to label me a Dan hater. :biglaugh:

Let the meltdown and fan bickering ensue....

We play what, 12 true freshman? Mistakes are going to be made. Two years from now the tune will be a 180 about field management.

yes!!!!!!! i agree bro!

Hey...we were very competitive, despite ourselves

...difficulty getting play calls in....missed fg's.....missed opportunities...

That happened what...once or twice? Inexcusable, but was not the reason we lost.

In the end Iowa played better. Not much to say other than that. Just wondering how I'm posting in the future. Its only 2:23.

 

[cyismydog]

One of the reasons...I can count 10 or 11 times were we were rushed, and barely got the play off.

 

[cyclonez7]

anyone dvr the game? if so take a picture of the hit that was clearly not a helmet to helmet penalty and post it. ridiculous call. but redzone offense was terrible, field goals not good, special teams weak. no big plays at all. on the bright side at least we covered the spread.

 

[ISUFan22]

That's how this offense works, usually only 5 seconds (give or take a couple) left on the clock when it's snapped. Today was no different.

 

[conmebol]

I agree that it was not the reason we lost. Hopefully as we grow as a team, those kinks can be cleaned up. Not only from the players, but from the coaching staff also.

Dan's gone. He had a 56-85 record

move on

Dan had to go - no question. But he would have beaten this Iowa team today.

Oh good grief....

 

[ISUFan22]

Can we lose with some semblance of intelligence or does it always have to be like this after a loss?

 

[jbhtexas]

The only coaching staff problem I saw was getting the play onto the field. Other than that, we just aren't a good team. Iowa isn't either and it showed today.

Exactly. Chizik wasn't doing "coach-speak" last week when he said ISU was not a good FB team. He's a straight-shooter.
