Coaching and QB failures of the day

[bhelm22]

QB
Bad throws
Not seeing open receivers
Snapping the ball with 16 and 10 seconds on the drive with 4 minutes to go

Coaching
Going for 2
O-line hasn't improved
Taking the delay of game

I'm blank, add to it

That two minute time out kind of cancelled that one out.

What's the point of having "the most tenured coach in football" if he doesn't understand basic strategies and can't impart them to his players. The shit is maddening. The time and distance reflected in those decisions are the difference in the game.

Kirk is a dummy. Always been a dummy.

I’ve never seen a coach survive as many coaching blunders that he has over the years.

Only at Iowa could he have gotten away with them.

This team will go as far as Cade will take it. So far very inconsistent so who knows where that will be.

Who remembers when he went for the touchdown 4th and goal from the 4 when we were up 15 points late against Nebraska in Kinnick?

A FG puts Iowa up 18, 3 scores/possessions, and effectively ends the game.

Iowa didn’t convert, Nebraska scored 15, and sent it to overtime IIRC.

Good list. Pretty sad to think that if even 1 of those bad decisions doesn't get made, we win the game. Here's some more:

Trying to INT the ball on third down instead of swatting it down and it gets stolen away for a TD.
Our 5 star safety creeping up too far and giving up a long TD when everyone else knew they were going to try a deep pass eventually.
Our final punt was weak and had no chance of pinning them inside the 10.
Our final defensive look against a team with no timeouts and 30 secs gave up 4 sideline catches.

Ok, now you are really pouring salt on an open wound…🥲

What do we know? We are just fans.

I don't want to call any plays but I could be hired for free to be a game clock manager. You know, tell Cade not to snap the ball until 1 is on the play clock. Not call timeout with 1:22 on the clock on 3rd down going into the half with 30 seconds on the play clock. Maybe just talk people out of crazy plays when we are going for the throat.

That stuff.

We have nobody on staff who knows that stuff.
