While the team gets a bye week so do we...

from the constant bitching. Not much to whine about when we run the ball straight up Auburn's arse for 350 yards. Enjoy your bye week fellas.

Best BYE week in years I tell ya!

 

[dawgstudent]

I will ***** about "what might have been". I think that's the reason for my non-excitement. And the fact we are so one-dimensional right now that if someone can stop our run game - we are toast.

 

[Dawg1976]

True. Got to mix in a little dink and dunks to keep the defenses honest.

 

[Dawgzilla]

I have moved to the back of the Moorhead bandwagon so that I can more easily jump off at any point in the near future. I expected to see a more run-heavy offense Saturday, and then I was shocked to see us line up 5-wide on the very first play (screen pass for 0 yards). I didn't know we were setting up the RB motion plays, of course, but it still seemed like a wasted possession. Then there was our inability to score TDs in the redzone, and just our general lack of power running plays in short yardage situations. That final possession of the first half was excruciating (partly because of the replays at the goalline), and I'm still not sure Fitz actually got in.

Bottom line, we totally dominated Auburn statistically, but they were still just 2 botched plays away from winning. And we still have no passing game.

It's going to be awfully hard to stop our run game though. And I think this will open a few things up in the passing game to the RBs and TEs. Our WRs are garbage though. I hope we're playing the ones who can at least block a little.

A great group of philosophers once said in a song...

"I try not to think about what might have been
Cause that was then and we have taken diff'rent roads
We can't go back again there's no use giving in
And there's no way to know
What might have been"

Having reflected on that, I agree with you.

We won 9 games last year with the same type of run/pass ratio. We won't be Bama like that but no one is anyway.

We still have some ref calls in the bank from previous years playing Auburn. I will now consider Auburn 1st down after 9 1/2 yards paid in full.

 

[Dawgzilla]

Doesn't bother me a bit to get a call to go our way. I just think there are better ways to move the ball forward in short yardage situations.

You can't play the what-if game. We could have just as easily beaten Auburn by 20+. Or be 5-1 right now.

To be fair, that is not exclusive to this season at all. Even in 2014, you look at our two regular season losses, Alabama and Ole Miss completely took away our running game.

The only team I remember us having that was good enough to win without a running game was Dak’s senior year where we didn’t have a running game all season. And that team still got destroyed by the two best teams on its schedule and also lost two other games.

Then stay miserable, because nothing can be done about it.

The fact is the team that played Saturday can beat anyone except bama remaining on the schedule.

 

[00Dawg]

Not me. I traded in the early whistle when Norwood flipped over the pile in 2001. The 9 yards and 35 inches would take more, as would the Ballard TD run in that same 2010 game.

Still in reserve:
Inadvertent whistle in 2017
1940 TD catch out of bounds

I reserve the right to remember more as well...

 

[Dawgzilla]

I'm not playing what if. I'm saying that I am dissatisfied with our point production.

 

[patdog]

You said were were 2 botched Auburn plays away from losing the game. That's the definition of what-if. It's also wrong. I agree that we left some points on the table though.

 

[Miketice]

I guess your right

We still have some ref calls in the bank from previous years playing Auburn. I will now consider Auburn 1st down after 9 1/2 yards paid in full.

Pd in full. Now does this include the Ballard TD they took from us later that game?

You're not your
