Safety please baby Jesus

 

[hawk_a_holic]

Brian Ferentz has more job security than any OC in the nation.

 

[Front7]

Can we go 30 posts without being negative

 

[ISPHawk]

Totally with you on that. Just think in this particular game, now, a QB change wouldn't do much.

I think it's really more about our poor line play and play calling/scheme.

 

[obfuscating]

Can someone tell barta he needs to find his balls and demote BF? Thanks in advance.

 

[TRHawkeye145]

Come on.... pick 6 here! Play the game that got us here

 

[TheRealHerky]

Petras pre-determines who he is going to throw to, stares that guy down and then throes to him.

Or 19 yards over his head

 

[Rambler Hawk]

Anyone honestly think SP had a short lease in this game? (before we see Padilla)

 

[CarterHall]

Padilla needs to come in ... At least time to time.... Right?

Nope. Kirk went with his gut on this one.

 

[exiled in IL]

You guys call BF a p*ssy but if Petras was strip-sacked trying to complete a 20-yard pass you’d be complaining even more. Play field position, trust the defense. Offense has played ok so far.

Not a 20 yarder. A 7 and a 8. Playing not to lose.

Yeah it’s painful to watch

 

[Hawkeyesgonewild]

Safety please

 

[Chishawk1425]

That's how we started the comeback in Kinnick when they were # 2...

Yessir and eerily similar to this years Penn St game..

 

[hawkeyekid]

Run that bootleg until they stop wrecklessly sending their ends crashing in every play.

 

[DirtyJohns97]

Trail by less than 10 at half and Im feeling great

 

[brownd7949hawks]

Yes, its Padilla’s fault receivers drop balls thrown at their chests. But, yes, more Petras two-yard check downs to complement his first down overthrows. Good call. You’re a genius.

You must of missed the amount of balls Padilla threw right to defensive backs and got lucky they can’t catch his passes either.

 

[BetterLuckNextTime]

How can you actually grow up in a football family and be on a NFL staff and not know enough to just take some shots there on 2nd and 3rd and long in a game when you are down 14-3? Make it make sense.... somebody please!

THANK YOU!!!!! I thought I was the only one wondering this.

 

[JerseyCityHawki]

Notice how he telegraphed that throw from the snap? He was going to Johnson double teamed or not. He is a terrible QB and has to go.

Poor Johnson- geez Petras make sure you set up your best WR for demolition

 

[djbusch1]

Agreed. If Iowa played in East they wouldn’t have 10 wins.

Ya think?

 

[brewhawk23]

Thinking defense and special teams will have to score 3+ TDs tonight to win

 

[NevadaHawk]

Not saying he has been great but, Petras has over 100 yards passing and has not been sacked.

 

[WaterTower]

Terrible decision on the pass. Petras is not having a strong game. He has time and is rushing the ball into bad places. He forces it into double teams a lot.

He panics when the rush gets close. Simply isn't a good QB. I know Padilla only has a 40% completion rate but he has much better pocket presence

 

[HawkRugged17]

Can we go 30 posts without being negative

 

[onlyTheObvious]

Needs to be 14-10 soon.

 

[Floyd_Of_Rosedale]

punt , punt , punt , punt , punt , punt , punt , punt ....

 

[BlackNGoldBleeder]

Pass to set up the run, Brian. Michigan is daring you to break tendencies. It is not against the rules to pass on first down two times in a row. The reason Iowa sucks at offense is because everyone in the stadium knows what’s coming almost every play.

I should have known this game was going to be more of the same. Ho hum.

 

[TRHawkeye145]

I mean I see the game plan....keep the field position. Hopefully it works

 

[Ignored]

Can he throw? Just asking.

 

[Rambler Hawk]

Benson!!!!

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

GREAT D.

CHARLIE TIME

 

[LaQuintaHawkeye]

Awesome seeing an Iowa fan wearing farmer flannel getting camera time.

 

[NewVicHawkeye]

This victory is gonna be sweet. Go Hawks!

 

[Sett1997]

Nice blitz call Phil!

 

[onlyTheObvious]

Iowa needs to be next team to score or it’s game over.

 

[Hawkeyesgonewild]

Great defense now offense score

 

[brewhawk23]

Defense settling in but the offense sucks so bad it doesn't matter. Let PP call the plays on offense.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Alright now that we got time, I wanna point out that 1st down TFL.

I have noticed that more and more teams are cheating guys on the backside to not only take away the cut back in pursuit, but to be in position to play the PA as well.

If Iowa shows a strong side and it smells like a zone run, teams will crash the backside and force Iowa to have to commit to the nothingness that is the stretch side of the play.

The challenge for this staff is that they're gonna have to make a decision in the off-season. Either figure out a better way to keep that backside from being exploited, or scrap that sh** all together...........their call.

 

[nbanflfactory]

Block it fellas!!!!

 

[jamesvanderwulf]

Punting out of the EZ. Block or nothing? No roughing like 15

 

[Tfxchawk]

I think Michigan should want to lose after seeing this. Alabama would kill them
