This game is not on petras.

[isuisshit]

It is on KF's refusal to upgrade the offense through the transfer portal. A normal coach would have fired at least one of his offensive staff after finishing 121st last year and hit the transfer portal HARD for offensive players in the offseason, not do nothing.

 

[gojojo]

Im guessing he isn't firing his own son, Barta will have to grow a set and do it. If dad doesn't like it he can exit and let Woods take over, keep the D staff the way it is, and bring in his own offensive staff.

 

[QChawks]

all those transfer QB's out there to be had and he stuck with Petras and Padilla

it's sad

 

[Hawktagonapus]

No, this win is not on Petras

He might have told OKeefe to retire, so there's that.

 

[RonaldMexico]

Agreed. It is not Petras fault he is on the field . It is Brian’s. And it is not Brian’s fault he is the OC. It is Kirk’s.

It is what it is and it not likely to change.

 

[herk u2]

Who needs a QB anyway when your defense can easily win the game 4-3.

 

[Brian_Fantana]

Well - you can argue they should have upgraded the OL and WR; but Petras is horrible. If your argument is they should have replaced him in transfer portal, I agree. If your argument is they should have upgraded positions and Petras would be fine, I feel strongly disagreeing. He is not a D1 QB. It has been clearly evident

 

[MilleGinja]

A good QB can elevate on offense. A good group of receivers can make a QB look good. A good OL can make an offense look good. A good OC can make do with what he has. We don’t have any of this.

I know I’ve already replied; but I am a little curious where you are going with this post? Do you seriously think Petras is a Big Ten QB and Iowa messed up not recruiting transfers? If so, please elaborate as he may seriously be the worst QB I have ever witnessed under pressure in 40 years of watching football. It has to be embarrassing for him to even watch film

Lord hear our prayer...

 

[Sett1997]

Also, Petras had many passes where he threw uncatchable balls. Had he hit them who knows the outcome.

 

[LIV4GOD]

No, this win is not on Petras

Indeed, we won in spite of Petras.

 

[Hawktagonapus]

Also, Petris had many passes where he threw uncatchable balls. Had he hit them who knows the outcome.

I think we may have won this game if Petras made a few more plays.

Barta doesn't have any balls, he cut them off when he lost that lesbian lawsuit. I hear it was part of the deal

it all comes back to KF then

Barta should have been fired for that

 

[ISPHawk]

It's the offensive line. They were horrible last year (except for TL) and they look worse this year.

 

[hawkguy6]

It was especially telling when he slides 3 yards before the sticks on what could be a game sealing first down. Way to put yourself out there for your team ….

 

[Eburghawk]

in the last 7 games Petras has thrown 1 td pass and 8 ints and is averaging 4 yards per pass.

He is historically bad.

 

[littlez]

Yep. Our o line would be fine with just an average QB and scheme. We have neither.

 

[im4hawks50595]

Here is a Kirk post game gem that makes you think wtf

Q. How much confidence do you have in Spencer moving forward?

KIRK FERENTZ: I still have a lot of confidence in him. I think the noise on the outside is probably a lot louder than it is inside. I have total confidence. He practices well. He's a great young guy. We'll be better next week

 

[BioHawk]

I agree that this game isn't on a single person. I don't think there is a single offensive player or coach that can say they did their job well today. Ultimately, when that happens, you need to look at the person in charge.

 

[NoleATL]

Im guessing he isn't firing his own son

This sounds familiar...

Whatever Spencer is doing during the week, he hasn’t got it on Saturday.

 

[Hawkeyes4Life32]

His QBR was a 1.2

It’s the OLine, Petras, Brian, Kirk, everyone. They all suck.

My Lord thst is terrible. Just when I thought I couldn’t feel any worse….

He needs to retire. He’s about as arrogant as they come, and will not admit he is wrong choosing Petrash. Worst qb in all of football, led by the worst OC in all of football.

 

[Hawksofly101789]

It’s not all Petras….it’s our scheme that we continue to run to futility.

 

[Gonzo Bloor]

KF has Barta's balls in his pocket. KF can do whatever he wants. He owns this program and in many ways this university.

 

[Gonzo Bloor]

Petras is f*cking horrible. Scheme whatever, scheme doesn't make the guy miss wide open receivers with horrible throws.

 

[the24fan]

🤣🤣🤣

 

[Fan In Black]

I'm done blaming the kid. I'd bet my right nut he would be a different QB in a different system. Even shitty QBs throw more than 3 TDs in 9 games. It's scheme, recruiting, and development all rolled into one giant turd.

 

[Hawksofly101789]

I said it’s not all Petras….i believe the staff is setting him up for failure with the play calls. I believe he’s a better qb from shotgun, did he miss a bunch of throws? Is he staring down receivers? Is he getting happy feet? YES, absolutely but if he IS Iowas QB then it is my opinion they should maybe they should try running a less traditional offense.

Meh, he needs no pressure… it’s him

Not hitting the portal hard as you say is a result of what KF has become - He may still have some interest in winning, but he is much more interested in showing everyone who's boss, doing things his way for better or for worse, and never admitting that he's made a bad choice. Yeah, he's always been a stubborn egomaniac, but got to the point of pathologic with the BF hiring, became more evident with the Noah Fant situation, and lives on strong today with the SP situation. I am really afraid that's he's going to do exactly what he swore he would never do - coach for too long and leave the program in shambles. Today was a REALLY, REALLY BAD DAY for Iowa football.

 

[Fan In Black]

I disagree now. The old man has dug his heels in once again because he is winning games. Teams with dog shit QBs can put up more than 3 points in a game with a little creativity.

 

[Gonzo Bloor]

Agree. Sorry, you're going to have pass rushers get within 2-3 yards of you on most plays. Deal.

Not when your line sucks roosters and your qb can’t hit open receivers. Brian isn’t the issue, wish he was, players can win in spite if a coach
