He's in pace for 1500 passing yards. He'd need like 5 more games to reach JVBs yardage from that year

 

[Alan Lomax]

And everyone can fuck off with the “chose to lose” bullshit with regard to iowa state. They lost because the offense fucking sucks and is run by absolute morons. They don’t choose to be fucking morons, they just are. Even 2 blocked punts and 3 turnovers wasn’t enough. Against anyone with a pulse the defense and/or special teams NEED to score and they know it.

 

[Alan Lomax]

I feel like Brian doesn’t catch enough shit for how bad Iowa is at red zone touchdowns. I know it’s because they rarely get into the redzone, but still, he fucking sucks at calling successful plays in the red zone.

We looked great in the red zone when we had guys like Fant or ISM, which we currently don’t. I understand your aggrievance with BF but our red zone issues the past couple years have more to do with inexperience, QB play and a simple lack of talent/quickness at key positions.

 

[StinkyMcFadden]

Now that ISU is taking WRs from Ankeny, where do Brian and Copeland intend to get recruits?

It's only going to get worse, guys.

Don't forget that. The offense is only going to get worse. Way worse than it is now.

Does Alec Wick have any brothers?

 

[cloudhawk]

Not looking at WR's doesn't help either

 

[Alan Lomax]

 

[StinkyMcFadden]

The O-line isn't giving Spencer time, Daddy. I've coached him up, but he doesn't have time.

 

[cloudhawk]

I'm just glad that Ragaini and Johnson are back so Spencer can play better

LOL

He has been an overall abject failure as an OC since day fucking 1.

There is no need to defend the person who oversees personnel, recruiting said personnel, or playcalling. None. He is shit and the results both now and then show that.

(just let me delete the 2019 and 2020 red zone stats please….8/9 respectively ; I’d take 2018 - 46th in a heartbeat…….otherwise, 2017 - 94th, then last year and this year both bottom of cfb).

Padilla is pre-med? No wonder he czeched out.

I thought he was pre-law?

Watch your fucking mouth when you're talking about Kirk Ferentz' son.

Recruiting the athletes to score in the red zone is part of the job description. We don’t have them, simple as that.

Did Johnson have some targets last night? I didn't realize he played?

I wasn't aware any WR played last night- I mean they lined up I guess.
Spencer sucks and you trying to stick up for him is embarrassing for you.

So you are deflecting due to being a fucking liar?

 

[cloudhawk]

No, actually Kirk mentioned it wouldn't be fair to assess Spencer until more weapons were available. Which meant Johnson and Ragaini. Last week, both were back- this week Ragaini was back. Spencer was marginally better the last 2 weeks, without really or even using these weapons once they were available.

You of course should know this if you are even a half-smart football fan. Since you don't seem to be, I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt that this is merely a schtick.

So, to conclude, you can take your schtick and schtick it up your ass and fuck off into the sun.

Please explain how what you posted bolsters the narrative that Spencer is/was terrible because Ragaini and Johnson weren't playing.

What’s the difference?!?

I wouldn't let a lawyer touch my balls.

No stupid that’s what you’re doing with your substance free one liners. You got a comprehensive response that had actual thoughts then you posted something that proved the other persons point because you are a fucking retard.

Disagree

Too bad Lachey has seemingly never been targeted in the RZ. At least he doesn't seem to have drop issues. Seems to run at least as well as CJFed, who Rudock hit for 6TDs in '13. That's what it seems like to me, anyway.

A more mobile QB would definitely help buy the TE/WRs a little more space when the field becomes more constricted.

 

[Talkin' Goat]

Imagine being the poor SOB who has to chart the Iowa WR and give them a PFF grade.

“Fuck this I’m giving him a 50. Maybe too obvious - 49.8 it is.”

Well, it seems Iowa has experimented with the stiffest, slowest, most unathletic quarterback possible and the results aren’t good. I suppose they should just keep doing it because fuck enjoyable offensive football.

How do you even assess it?

I need someone to explain to me how the performance ranking last night was Bruce > Brecht > Ragaini. Based upon what?

 

[Creed]

Blocking.

 

[thrawn]

PFF doing ratings to the tenth while apparently having a 40-100 scale is some delightful fake data.

I love the hate for PFF because Halo thinks Petras is rated too high. Lol

LOFL that Gavin Williams is ranked ahead of Kaleb Johnson and right behind Leshon Williams.

 

[KitKatApples]

God damn Clete it’s starting to catch up to you

 

[douglasbader]

Did Johnson play at Rutgers?

 

[KitKatApples]

I’m sure someone’s did

 

[StinkyMcFadden]

This "gift from heaven" continues to reap huge benefits.

If you’re not the primary target on a play, you’re not getting the ball from Petras.

 

[AZmessDAWG]

I think it’s a LaPorta thing. There was a play Saturday where both LaPorta and Lachey were wide open and Lachey was 10 yards deeper but he just dumped it to LaPorta.

It’s plays like that that are absolutely maddening. It happens fairly frequently with Spencer, and this isn’t a “that guy on the other side of the field was wide open” thing. This is that guy, RIGHT FUCKING THERE in your line of sight, is wide fucking open!!!

 

[The Full Monte]

Happened twice Saturday; once with Lachey, once with AB4

As I said right after the game, the staff is treating him like a small child. “Here’s your read buddy. See if you can get the ball to him.”

 

[KitKatApples]

I'm just glad he hit Lachey a couple times. It would be nice to look his way in the end zone on occasion

If there is the smallest silver lining, it appeared to have slightly better results Saturday.

Before you flip out about how low that bar is, I’m going to preemptively agree with everything you’ll say

Better. But still a bit optimistic for my taste.

No, he limped off in the first half against Nevada and hasn’t played or practiced since.
