*****official Iowa vs. Wisconsin game thread*****

[mthawkeyes]

Where are all the “Mertz sucks” people? He literally looks like Aaron Rodgers today AS I PREDICTED.

Hornibrook redux. Sucked against everyone else, but they always had him ready to play well against Iowa.

 

[red/green hawk]

This is not going to be pretty.

 

[kcgolfer]

No one was keying the TE from the 5-yardline. That's poor scheme.

And Wisconsin does that a lot. Did Parker bother to watch any film???

 

[obfuscating]

we played a weak first 6 games...Wiscy eating both sides.

 

[bansheexyz]

I saw that playcall coming a mile away.

 

[Hawkman34]

Good grief.....so many mistakes! And that includes taking the FREAKING ball to start the game!! ARGH!!!!!

 

[grayhair81]

That one isn't on Petras. He put the ball into the space and Goodson ran through instead of settling in.

Holy shit. It was a f*cking slant. You don't "settle" on a slant.

 

[luvmyhawks]

Decent chance Iowa gets shut out. 17-0 or something similar.

Actually, the way Wisconsin is moving the ball, it could be 30-0.

 

[BubsFinn]

that should do it

team is broken

I think you're right. A seven-point hole is too deep for this team to dig itself out of, even if they have three and a half quarters to do it.

 

[IAFB2021Champs]

So, what is everyone's plans for the next 3 quarters?

I should have stayed outside cleaning up the yard. Why did I come back inside.

 

[desihawk]

Decision time: continue watching this game or continue watching this game?

 

[Hawk-A-Doodle-Doo]

LB fundamental key #1...if an off-colored hat goes across your nose, GO THE FU-K WITH HIM!

What...did u think he was going to the goddamn f***ing concession stand?!?!?

 

[QChawks]

schedule looks a lot harder all of sudden

8-4 boyz

 

[TRHawkeye145]

Looks like the hawks really worked on things during the bye week

 

[IAHUNTER]

Iowa doesn't change as the year goes on. Same zone defense. Same poor offense. If you study film , iowa will be your bitch

 

[hawkstuff]

The recipe to beating us is kill the clock and play our bend but don’t break defense. You know you need less than 20 points to beat us right now. It is smart. Long sustained drives, field goals are okay, because we cannot move the ball.

 

[Hawktheworld]

I've seen a lot of Iowa Football, like most of you, THIS team is boring even by Iowa standards.

 

[NCHawkeye24]

We are in major trouble.

 

[SotaHawk87]

Wisconsin 127th in the nation on third down O.. 3-3 today

 

[WhiskeyDick]

Mertz can complete passes but Petras can't. BF and Petras are going to cost us more wins. It's offensive how bad they are at their jobs.

 

[HawkInArk]

looks like those dickheads used our bye week time

Wonder what we did with our bye-week?

 

[TFHawkFan]

Zero energy or emotion by the Hawks. They look flat. Two weeks to prepare for this game and it looks like same ole same ole on offense. Defense zero pass rush and receivers are wide open. Ugh

 

[JerseyCityHawki]

Our defense could make Stephen Hawking look like Joe Montana.

lol

It's like watching the same games over and over. Purdue. Wisconsin. Northwestern. It's frustrating as hell. Iowa doesn't change. So even years we have maybe more talent those guys know Ferentz will never change

Groundhog Day movie

 

[DirtyJohns97]

I think I am going to have diarrhea soon

Thats when it becomes really important to have good fart management

 

[desihawk]

I should have stayed outside cleaning up the yard. Why did I come back inside.

know that you are responsible for the current state of affairs

 

[unoHawkeye]

Our offense is something to behold, and not in a good way. Zero first downs through two drives is embarrassing when you’ve had two weeks to game prep.

Sorry staff, you can’t beat Wisconsin 6-3 every game

 

[onlyTheObvious]

The West is a dumpster fire. The middle teams in East should be pissed.

 

[Slappy Pappy]

But hey the 25 point streak will be in tact so it’s the offenses fault….(eye roll)

(the offense sucks too)

Fact everyone is giving up because we're down 7 in the 1st tells you everything you need to know about our offense.

 

[WhiskeyDick]

How is he that wide open?? What is our defense doing??

 

[anon_b29nm7v7dwp6r]

LB fundamental key #1...if an off-colored hat goes across your nose, GO THE FU-K WITH HIM!

What...did u think he was going to the goddamn f***ing concession stand?!?!?

No joke.

it’s like this defense read their press clippings

 

[ichawks]

So, what is everyone's plans for the next 3 quarters?

MSU and Michigan could be entertaining.

 

[markfromj]

loss today and next weeks loss to Cats will be the end of the season

no it won’t.

 

[mthawkeyes]

Had to be Campbell's responsibility, but a LB playing inside can't be expected to key a TE on 3rd and 1.

 

[SotaHawk87]

We can’t take a punch holy shit

 

[obfuscating]

IOWA looks unmotivated.

 

[83Hawk]

schedule looks a lot harder all of sudden

8-4 boyz

That’s what I’m thinking, too.

 

[ichawks]

So, what is everyone's plans for the next 3 quarters?

MSU and Michigan could be entertaining.

 

[Gridiron24]

How great would it be to see hogan in on the next series. Hell I’m guessing he could even go 3 and out. Throw a couple incompletions or he’ll even get sacked.

One thing with Kirk is he is EXTREMELY stubborn with quarterbacks. He will not bench his starter.

He didn't bench Kyle McCann for Brad Banks. Ricky Stanzi had to prove he was better than Jake C, and even then Kirk still wanted to play Jake C. Kirk stuck with James Vandenberg in 2012.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Good grief.....so many mistakes! And that includes taking the FREAKING ball to start the game!! ARGH!!!!!

Did we win the toss and take the ball again? Defense has been the strength of KF teams 20 out of 23 year ... Yet he wants to give the ball to our $h*** offense

 

[desihawk]

Wonder what we did with our bye-week?

getting jones' legs and burst back is all i can say based on what i've seen so far. quite pissing off.

edit: i take back the jones comment
